SHIRKERS NOT IMMUNE
WELLINGTON, Dec 7. Since the Military Service Act was passed in August, 1916, the men drawn in ballots totalled 134,739. Of this number 10,545 were classed as defaulters; 8498 have been secured. 683 are still under investigation, and 1364 are the subjects of warrants in the hands of the police. It is understood that the Defence Department, though the war is over, does not intend to let the shirkers go scot free. —P.A.
