TERRITORIAL FORCES
25,000 MEN TRAINED COMPULSION PLANNED NIGHT PARADES (Per Press Association,) WANGANUI, this day. “When the present three months’ training period for the territorials is ! ended, 25,000 territorials in the Dominion will have finished three months’ training,” said the Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Jones, in Wanganui to-day. Mr. Jones said it was found that after the three months’ training period had ended the attendance at night parades had not been as satisfactory as desired, and the Government decided to make all subsequent training compulsory. The question of holding the annual two weeks’ camp earlier than was originally intended was being considered by the Government, but if the date were put forward ample notice would be given to the men likely to be called up.
