MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS.
We have the best of authority for stating that on account of the number of men who have registered but have not presented themselves for medical examination, it is the intention of the military authorities, once notification has been given to those men to attend, to post up a list outside the Defence Office, and at other places where they can be seen. This, no doubt, is the outcome of a fooling in some quarters that men are registering for the sake of evading the pressure of their friends, and what might be termed “ appearing to enlist ” without actually doing so. There are over 100 men in Dunedin alone who have failed to attend the medical examinations, which are hold nightly, -Saturdays and Sundays excepted, at the Kensington Drill Hall. “
