WELLINGTON, N, Z,, Aug. B The New Zea land police hereafter will enforce that section of the New Zealand military service law which aims at the enrolment of every man of military age in the Do ninon in the eXpeditionary force reserve Police men may accost citizens and make-enquiries accord ngly Eligible not enrolled will be liable to a fine of $50 three months Imprisonment. It is hoped by this step not only to that the name of every fit man is the rol but to detect men who have failed to comply with the military ballot (draft ing by means of numbered marbles and card in dexes). That is, every man who is not in military uniform will have to have either enrolment certi- fcate a ''leave pass,' showing that he has been medically rejected. It is expected that the powers thus given the police will lead to many incidents.
