A SINGLE MAN'S VIEWS.
(To tlio Editor.) Sir. —I see a correspondent states that married men should not be taken as long; as single men are available; but 1 do not see the fairness of such an argument. There are plenty of single men in New Zealand- who have a mother and 'perhaps young brothers and sisters depending on them. Should these men he asked to yo while there are hundreds of married men with only ■ a wile to keep? I say "So." let these married men go. From what I sen of New Zealand girls, thoy would be soesimeas wh" *ouW wti do for
themselves while their husbands were away. I have three single brothers—one in Trentham, two physically unfit for service abroad. My two "reject" brothers offered to keep niy soldier's pay up to my usual salary if I should go, but on going forward I found _ I was just within the "bantam" limit. lam sure plenty of married men could get away, as I tried to do. Would it not be better for a married man to go, and if he fell, to think that those ho loft behind would enjoy the freedom of tho good old Union Jack, or to stop at home and be governed, or rather ruled by those cannibals of Germans? That is tho burning question.—l am, etc., ENLIST. Masterton, May 31, 1915.
