THE SECOND DIVISION LEAGUE
THE MEDICAL EXAMINATION. A remarkable feature about tho medical examination of Second Division reservists is (tho Wellington correspondent of tho ■Lyttetlon Times says) that Class B, married men with one child, arc showing a higher percentage of military fitness than Class A, married men without children. Tho Minister of Defenco states that Class A men were found, on medical examination, to have a percentage of unfits slightly greater than the First Division, but Class li is equal to the average in fitness. Asked if the medical standard lias been varied for Second Division men, the Minister said: "Wo are applying the same medical standard, if anything stricter, because wo are not proposing to re-examine CS2 men. However, 1 cannot pledgo myself to anything, because nobody knows what circumstances may arise to make us alter our opinion."
