THE DEFENCE FORCE
TOO MANY EXROIXED. By Telegraph— Press Association, .p. Wellington, Yesterday. Ihe Defence authorities have circularised the principal medical officers stating that, as the total number of J ejections for medical unfitness amongst ■territorials is only 5 per cent,, the number left is in excess of requirements, so the standard of physical fitness must be raised to exclude fully 33 per cent, it is understood that some recently disclosed defect in the Defence Act has made it impossible to proceed against persons refusing to present themselves for medical inspection, but compulsion can be applied when the order goes forth for youths to fall in for drill.
