. BALLOTTED SHIRKERS. A FINAL WARNING. Dunedin. Feb. 7. Respecting the men called up in the ballot who have not turned up for medical examination or not ■ gone into camp the Hon. J. Allen ■ t uttered a final warning. j “They had better come forward voluntarily and ask to be medically ! examined and sent into camp. ’ The i law- would be carried out. The Go- ■: vernment had not taken action so I far because it was not ready to act I and had not the necessary mformai tion to enable it to act. That in- ' formation was now available and action is to be taken in a very short time. The offenders might be treated as '’absent without leave” or as i -deserters.'’ In the latter case the • penalty was heavy. RESPONSE TO THE CALLHAST INGS REG I STR AT lON S.

Charles Haddon, farm labourer, was allowed till April 20th. He stated an accident had impaired his health. He had lately married a widow who had four sons serving at the front. ■Sydney Lowe, farmer, appealed on the ground of hardstnp.
