THE GREATER CALL
[from our own* correspondent] WELLINGTON, Friday "We can't make omelettes without breaking eggs, and there is a greater call on the services of men as possible soldiers than in making ties and dressing gowns and handkerchiefs," remarked Mr. M. F. Luckie, chairman of the Wellington Manpower Committee, when a manufacturing firm appealed against the calling up of its works manager and cutter for territorial service. ''There lias been a day when people went without these things, and we can do without them again if tlio war goes oil much longer." The calling-up of the man was deferred for three months to give the employers a reasonable opportunity of making arrangements to replace him temporarily.
