Detention of suspected Military Defaulters. With reference to the War Regulations published in New Zealand Gazette, of 12th instant, authorizing the police to detain any man of military age who fails to produce his military papers when required, it is hereby directed that the powers of detention under these regulations must not be exercised indiscriminately, and every precaution must be taken to see that men are not detained without good reasons. When any man is so detained an urgent telegram giving as full particulars as possible is to be sent immediately to the Government Statistician inquiring as to the man’s military status. Particular care should be taken to give full Christian and surnames, and to see that they are correctly spelt. N. Kiely, Acting Commissioner of Police. Police Department, Wellington, 15th July, 1918.
