EASTER ENCAMPMENT.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The voluntser camo to be held at Oringi, between Woodville and Dannevirke, during Easter, will be run on instruction lines, and it is expected that some 2,000 volunteers will be present, says the "Post." The idea is that the force consists of a mobile column, providing its own defence and transport," and the work provided will be of the nature that such a force might reasonably expect to have to carry out under active service conditions. It is laid down in the scheme that a state of war exists with a neighbouring power, and that hostile troops have landed at Porangahau, presumably with the intention of seizing Woodville railway junction. The local troops hav« been mobilised, and, anticipating the seizure of the junction, have pushed forward, reaching Oringi at 3 p.m. on Friday, April yth. What happens then yet remains to be seen, but it is understood that the programme is full of surprises.
