"READY TO HELP IN WAR."
ST. JOHN AMBULANCE. PACIFISTS NOT WELCOME. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WANGANUI, Tuesday. At a meeting of the Wanganui St. John Ambulance Brigade this evening the following resolution was carried: — "That the Wanganui Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigade places on record its disapproval of the action of Mr. E. D. Mosley, S.M., of Christchurch, who, in dealing with a recent case of objection to military training, allowed the claim of defendant, providing he remained a member of the St. John Ambulance Brigade until he reached the age of 21 years. "As members of the brigade department of the Order of St. John, senior branch of the Red Cross Organisation of the British Empire, we enter into a specific agreement to maintain such a standard of organised efficiency that we shall be prepared to serve as'auxiliaries to the medical establishment of either the Navy or Army in time of war, as well as to civic authorities or the Health Department of the Government. This being 'the case, our ranks are not made up of objectors, conscientious or otherwise, but of men prepared to help to win a war or to serve the community in times of peace/'
A copy of the resolution is to be forwarded to magistrates and to all divisions of the brigade throughout the Dominion.
