VIGOROUS PROTEST BY N.Z. ALLIANCE.
(I'er Press Association.'/
WELLINGTON, December 6. The executive of the New Zealand Alliance, while not now entering into tho discussion of the general subject of compulsory military training, resolved at a special meeting yesterday " That inasmuch as the canteen in military camps serves no useful purpose, but is a source of dangerous temptation to many, and has frequently led to scenes of regrettable excess and disorder, the executive of the Alliance enters its emphatic protest against the inclusion, of canteens for the sale of intoxicating liquor in the Military .Bill which is to come before Parliament during the com-" ing week. It believes that when parents realise the danger to which their sons will be exposed through the canteen, many will rise in protest and decline the military proposals altogether lather than risk the ruin of their sons. There are fathers who quite approve of the principles of Volunteering as such for their sons, who will have good reason to oppose the whole system if their boys are to be exposed to drinking customs, which destroy'more lives than a foreign foe has ever destroyed."
