Exciting scenes vrero witnessed outside the Guild Hall, in Melbourne, recently. An anti-conscription meeting had been arranged, and an invitation was issued to returned soldiers to hear arguments against the Government's proposals. When a party of returned men arrived they were refused admission. The Sinn Fein flag was noticed flying from a flagpole at the top of the building, and there was an insistent demand that it should be pulled down. Finally the demand of the returned men acceded to and the flag was hauled down.
