RETIRED COLONELS
TERRITORIALS PROTEST
POSSIBLE ACTION
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) GISBORNE, This Day. It is reported in Gisborne that Territorials in various centres have been in informal consultation regarding possible action to support the four colonels who recently were retired as a disciplinary measure in consequence of their having issued a manifesto emphasising the inadequacy and inefficiency of the Dominion's land forces. It is stated that the rank and file of the force are unanimously behind the officers, and are determined to do everything possible to support them. It was first proposed in Gisborne that the men should resign in a body as a protest, it being understood that a lead in this direction would be followed elsewhere, but action has been deferred until it Is ascertained whether the demand for an inquiry will be acceded to.
