COMMAND ANT ON MILITARY TRAINING.

[PER PEESS ASSOCIATION.! WELLINGTON, Sept. 20. General Godley, in an address on defence matters, said that drills would be held in the evening, and the parades would: mean that a man would l have to give up half, a dozen holidays in the year. The only thing that would' present any difficulty would be a week’s camp. That would be arranged for a convenient time, and that was where employers could come in with help.. The general said there was an extraordinary amount of misunderstanding over this matter, but he contended that training was a sine qua non, and unless comr rades were trained together, compulsory training would be a farce.
