Elsewhere, groups of citizens discussed the possibilities of the situation. Several reservists, including air pilots, answered the call to the colours this morning, and according to arrangements made a month ago. a number of local Territorials left Masterton this afternoon for Trentham, where they are to undergo a recruits course.
