WELLINGTON, Tuesday
Mr Seddon says that there has been "rent difficulty and not a little unpleasantness has arisen owing1 to the .Defence Department not notifying' the various localities as- to the number of men which will be taken from the chief centres. The result was that in Wellington alone men were coming from various districts, and there must be quite 3UO selected men here, "while only l">0 could !>o. How to diserimin-
