A TERRITORIAL INCIDENT.
Tho incident at the Masterton Drill Hall last evening, when sixtcou out of twenty-eight men went off parade rather than be, drilled by a certain junior officer, is at once a commentary upon the. efficiency of the Territorial system. The act of insubordination, if such-it can be termed, will doubtless bo the subject for an official inquiry. The statement of the men i which is given in this morning's Age, points to a defect in the system of preferment which may require a remedy. Be that as it may, the incident is of so serious a nature that it demands a. searching investigation, not only into the conduct of the men. but into tho circumstances which led up to "the affair.
