How is it that Christchurch, with a poor record of cllicionts in military training in a time of jieace, rosponds so-handsomely to the actual war call, and Otago, with the highest rate,, of military' efficiency, lags behind in the matter of' voluntary ; enlistment for tlio' serious part of - , the businossf It cannot be that.tlio stock is responsible, for Scotland herself has with great enthusiasm.; Onniarn and Dmicdin were both short for the mainforce, and again for the reinforcements tho Otago quota has only been got by dint of appeals.
