ATTESTATION OF RECRUITS.
(From Our Special Correspondent.) Wellington, Yesterday. Instructions were issued by the Recruiting Board last month that only a sufficient number of men for three monthly drafts ahead were to be called up and attested. Under this rule no man could enlist for the 25th. Reinforcements until the , 22nd. Reinforcements had entered camp, the desire of the Defence authorities being to concentrate attention on immediate requirements and cheek the tendency of men to register for some distant date. The period has now been reduced to two months, and after Wednesday next recruits will be attested for the 23rd. and 24th. Reinforcements only until the 23rd. draft has entered camp. Until Wednesday men will bo accepted to cover the shortage in the 22nd. Reinforcements, which is being mobilised this week. ,
