CAMPBELL INCIDENT SETTLED

LONDON, June 10. It is understood that what is known as the "Campbell Incident" has been settled. Mr Gordon, a member of the House of Commons, becomes Irish Attorney-general and Mr Campbell receives an English judicial post.

In regard to dispatching quotas of men to Trentham camp from the various centres, past experience points to the necessity, when despatching reinforcement drafts, to orde^ a small percentage of men to attend at the place of assembly^ as "emergencies," so as to be ready to fill the places of those who fail to appear at the appointed hour. District commanders, in this connection, have been given clearly to understand that nil such 'emergencies are only required as such, and that should they not be required to fill the places of absentees they will be unable to proceed with the rest of the draft. Emer. gency men will be selected from those whom the authorities know to be available at any time on the shortest notice, and not from those who would have to give up employment or make other extensive arrangements , in anticipation of being included in the draft.
