CALL FOR MEN.
NAMES OF RECRUITS.
PUBLICATION WITHHELD. The officer in charge of the Christchurch Recruiting Office states that instructions havo been recoived from Wellington that no information is to be given to the nowspapers .regarding tho names of enlisted men, the filling up of quotas for various reinforcements, or tho dates upon which enlisted men are to be called up to go into camp. No reason for tho new regulations has been given from Wollington, and the local office has therefore no official explanation to make.
RECRUITING HELD (JP,
NO ATTESTATION FORMS,
Under the new regulations, which came into force yesterday, each man who enlists and passes tho medical tost is forthwith sworn in as a member of tho Expeditionary Force. Tho new regime requires the use of a new set of forms for registration - purposes, and as a supply of these had not arrived in Christchurch yesterday it was impossible for the local recruiting office to accept enlistments, applicants being advised to call later in the week. The requisite forms are expected to arrive to-day or to-morrow at the latest, and on their arrival tho registration of enlistments will be resumed and medical examinations will be recommenced.
