A. C. Lawrv, as reported in your issue. Rather sweeping, isn't it, Do all the young males qf New Zealand frequent racecourses. That is what would havo been; necessary to have avoided conscription.-. I wonder if 00 per cent, of the young. males of the Methodist congregation? have enlisted. The Rev/ A. C. Lawry will probably find out that there aro aß' many boys who had their £1 on t, horse who are now fighting in the front line, as any other breed.
