THE CALL TO MEN

BETTER WITHOUT STIMULUS FILLING THE GAFS • "The numbers of our Reinforcements aro gradually going up," said the Minister of Defence, Hon. J. Allen, last evening, wJien the question of recruiting was mentioned to liim. "AVo have tho two extra battalions to find in October, but wo trust that we will bo ablo to provide these without much platform work. I hope that the young men of tliti country will bo sufficiently alive to their responsibilities and that they will come along and register in the ordinary way. If they want somo stimulus from public men, then public men no doubt will be quite willing to set to work to give them that stimulus. The more steady the flow of registrations the bettor,'.' added Mr. Allen. "We aro filling up the gaps. Tho Fourth Reinforcements are at the front, and the Fifths' are not far oil', if they are not already there. The Sixths will lie away soon, and in October the Sevenths and tho Trcnts' will go. I hope that by that time wo shall have won Gallipoli, and that tho Trentham Regiment will bo present at tho march to Constantinople." Tho Minister received the following cablegram from General Godlcy at Gallipoli yesterday:—"\Yc shall bo glad to have the two new battalions provided that it - doe? not interfere with tho Reinforcements for those now existing, and who are at this moment fighting most gallantly and desperately."
