PERFECTLY SATISFACTORY
PROGRESS OF RECRUITING. "Recruiting is going on in a quiet way, and it is perfectly satisfactory," said the Hon. J. Allon, Minister of Defence, yesterday. "We are not making a song about it, but the men are coming in, and the men are being trained. The camp is the best camp we. have ever had, and the men are behaving splendidly. That is the report I get to-day from the Chief of Staff. Insobriety has almost disappeared, and I am told that the regulation we made forbidding hotelkeepers to supply bottles of liquor to soldiers is having" a very good' effect. I think the work of the Salvation Army and the Churches in encouraging men to sign pledges is also having some effect. It seems that the mon are feeling the responsibility resting upon them more tlian they did."
