CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS.
THEIR RELEASE FROM PRISON. FAVORED BY GENERAL RUSSELL. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. There was a mild sensation at a social gathering of commercial travellers when General Russell, in the course of his address on National Defence, digressed for a moment and advocated the release of conscientious objectors from all further imprisonment. "You may say it is asking an impolsible thing, but my own personal opinion is that at the end of the war conscientious objectors should be released," lie said. ■ Several voices: "No! No!" General Russell: "I quite understand that you dissociate yourselves from my views, and I only toid you what I think about it myself. I promised to make my opinion public, anrt I have done so."
