THE HEIGHT LIMIT.
Melbourne, January 29.
Tne plea of the small man to be allowed !
to fight for the Empire in tne ex- |
petitionary farces is not be granted for tne j
present. Senator Pearce, the Minister of
Deiencc, seated last night that there was j
no present intention of reducing the height
limit. '"I do not think,-' he said, "that
it would be a good advertisement for Aus
tralia that her troops should -be smaller
than those from other parts of the Empire.
We have adopted the same measurements j
as those of other countries. Then, too.
we are now receiving an ample number of
recruits who come up to the full measure
ment, so for tie present things can stay
as they are." :
