NOT SO REMOTE
STATE OF EMERGENCY NEEDS OF POLICE SECTION (By Teltg-rapH.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Thursday Addressing a meeting of the police section of the E.P.S. last night, Superintendent C. W. Lopdell said that the possibility of an emergency arising was regarded by a majority of the people, only very recently, as very remote. “Unfortunately,” he said, “we are coming to the conclusion that it is not so remote.” Mr Lopdell said that where shells were most likely to be dropped was round the wharves, shipping, railway buildings and yards, freezing works and other similar objectives. It was stated during the evening that 600 additional men were required for the emergency police.
