A DISORDERLY MEETING
OUR MILITARY SERVICE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. A meeting held, to-night and called by the Baptist Lay Preachers' Association to protest against the system of compulsory military service, broke ,up in disorder, the meeting being invaded by a party of college students, who made such a disturbance as to prevent any business being done. A motion was proposed expressing the.opinion that compulsory military training was a violation of liberty and consciousness and in direct opposition to humanitarian advancement and progress. An amendment was proposed, "That the meeting approves of military training," but in the uproar it was impossible to tell whether one or the other was carried. The student* afterwards held an open-air meeting out- i side, in which patriotic speeches were delivered.
