TO AID RECRUITING
THE EIGHTH REINFORCEMENTS
WILL VISIT CHRISTCHURCH
There have beeii demands from different centres in New Zealand for local camps, aud the chief argument in their fa.vour has been not that the establishment of them will promote greater training efficiency, but that it will stimulate reonnting. The success of Wellington recruiting is attributed to the fact that we have the camps adjacent to the City, and that men in khaki are everywhere. This is doubtless a very real and very powerful recruiting agency here, and, recognising this, the Government have under consideration plans for sending drafts of reinforcements on visits to other centres.
A beginning is to he made with this schemo in respect to Christchurch. 'The Bth Reinforcements, the next draft to leave, will embark for Lyttclton on November 12 next. And they will march through tho streets of Christchurch on Saturday or Sunday, or perhaps on both days, attending a church parade there, before re-embarking at Lyttelton. The "Eighth" are admitted to bo a good body of men, and tho sight of them in Christchurch should quicken the heart of tho slacker, if such there be in that city.
