LIST OF DEFAULTERS.
WHY SOME NAMES WERE OMITTED.
CHRISTOHURCH, May 27.
Sir James Allen, who is detained in Christehurch owing to the interruption of the ferry service, in reply to a question as to why the names of several military civil rights, said that some names had been omitted from the list of those deprived of civil rights, said that some names had been deliberately left off on the advice of a commission set up to deal with the question of religious objectors. Altogether about. 150 names of defaulters had been left off for this reason. " Tho list looks pretty large," said Sir James, "but the difficulty has been to find out where these men are, for some of them may have gone to the front under assumed names. Ono such case recently camo under my notice. Others pay bo out of tho_ dominion. If any 'member of tho publio knows of any defaulters whoso names ore not in the list they should acquaint the Defence Department. As far as I know all known defaulters other than religious objectors are on tho list."
