FILLING THE RANKS

! THE FIRST BALLOT. TAftANAKPS QUOTA. ' On Thursday night a "Gazette Extraordinary" was issued in Wellington giving the names of the 4000 odd men who have been selected by lot from the Ist Division of the Expeditionary Force Reserve for service with the New Zealand Expeditionary Forcfl The ballot was taken last week to fill shortages in the 23rd and 24th Reinforcements. Very many more names than were actually required were drawn, to allow for exemptions from vaiious causes, including medical unlituess. Publication of the names in the "Gazette" is deemed to be sufficient notification of a man's selection, but every care is fceing taken by the authorities to advise each man individually. In many cases the reservist will receive his notification even before ho seas his name in the newspapers. There were four recruiting districts which supplied their quotas for the 23rd and 24 th Reinforcements by voluntary enlistment. They were:— Xo.' I—Auckland City. j x O . 7_Hawke's Bay. | No. 12—Nelson. Xo. 20—Wanganui. Following are the names of the men of whom the lot fell in No. 8 (Taranaki )Recruiting District. Included in the list are many men who have already volunteered, and been declared medically unfit. Only fifty-nine men are required, and the number drawn is much in excess of this, in order to allow for medically unfit men and those who are excused from service by the Appeal Board.
