MILITARY DEFAULTERS.
WHY CERTAIN NAMES ARE*LEFT OUT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. Sir James Allen, who is detained in Christchurch owing to the interruption of the ferry service, in reply to a question as to why the names of several" military defaulters of some notoriety had been omitted from tho list of those deprived of civil rights, said that some names had been deliberately left off on the advice of the commission set up ( to deal with the question of religious objectors. Altogether about 150 names of defaulters had been left off for this reason. "The list looks pretty large," said Sir James, "but the difficulty has been to find out where these men are, or some of them. Some may have gone to the front under assumed names. One such case recently came under my notice. Others may be out of the Dominion. If any member of the public knows of any defaulters whoce name's are not on the list they should acquaint the Defence Department. As far as I know all known defaulters other than religious objectors are on the list."
