LAST OF THE FIRST DIVISION.
WILL THEY BE BALLOTED FOR?' The military ballots already taken have reduced the number of men left in the First Division to about 8000, and as SOOO is, roughly, the number that may be needed (taking recent ballots as a guide), the question has arisen as to whether the authorities would deem it necessary, to ballot at all. It was thought probable that the whole of the remaining names could be gazetted, provided, of course, that the whole 8000 or so were to be called. It appears, however, that according to the Act a ballot must be taken, but in this case it would simply be a ballot to comply with the Act, and not, perhaps, entirely similar to previous ballots. To enable the whole of the remaining names to be gazetted it would be necessary to amend the Act.
