WELLINGTON, April 20. A series of meetings was held in the schools'of Wellington City and suburbs last night to form local oommittees to undertake the work of the Government recruiting schema The meetings were small .and apathetic, and it is very doubtful whether in any any good work will result from the meetings. Aa a whole, the effort to float the scheme was a dismal failure. Six meetings passed resolutions agreeing to help, and six declared for conscription, one of the latter six promising also to help the present scheme. One meeting lapsed, one declared the board's scheme unworkable, and two passed other unnecessary resolutions. At all the 16 meetings not more thaii 1 500 people attended, and not onefifth of these agreed to do the real work. ENEMY FIRMS. PROVISION FOR WINDING-UP. ( (Pee United Press Association.)
