29TH REINFORCEMENTS.
VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENTS TO CLOSE ON SATURDAY. (Special to the Herald.) WELLINGTON, this day. Voluntary recruiting for the 29th Reinforcements, mobilising m May, will be closed down throughout the Dominion on Saturday next, and any shortage then existing will be made up by ballot from among members of the first division ofi the Expeditionary Force Reserve. The necessity for taking a ballot is regarded as certain, and arrangements therefore have been made for holding it on Monday next. The members of the first division wishing to have their names excluded from the operations of the Government Statistician's machine accordingly should lose no time m enlisting, as with each successive ballot there is a growing certainty of their being caught. By enlisting now they still have an opportunity of going as volunteers.
