NOT SO REMOTE
POSSIBILITY OF WAR EMERGENCY CALL FOR ADDITIONAL MEN IN WELLINGTON. OBSERVATIONS BY POLICE SUPERINTENDENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Addressing a meeting of the Police section of the E.P.S. last night, Superintendent Lopdell said the possibility of an emergency arising was regarded by a majority of people only very recently as very remote. Unfortunately, he added, we were coming to the conclusion that it was not so remote. The areas where shells were most likely to be dropped were round wharves, shipping, railway buildings and yards, freezing works and other similar objectives.
It was stated during the evening that 600 additional men were required for the Emergency Police.
