THE URGENT CALL

«- CITY'S POSITION EXTRA INFANTRY SOUGHT LATEST FIGURES ' MEN FOR ELEVENTH DRAFT .'CHOSEN .

Recruiting ins shown a slight improvement in the City, but the rate still nee'ds to ; improve if the Citj and suburbs group is to secure its quota of infantry for the Eleventh Reinforcements by December 14. Yesterday's list of recruits is somewhat longer than the daily fist has been for quite a white, and the opinion is expressed that the appeals of the Press have reached the. men who are free' to join, and tie result is visible in a slightly. larger return. , , ; ■

So far this week eighty-five men have enlisted in the City, and a big percentage are tit. The figures are: —'

' : Total ..... 238 - : AVellington started this week wiffi a snort-age of 72 infantry for its December quota, and infantry were enlisting at the rate of three per day. Thirtysix infantry have enrolled during the week, which (at the best) reduces the infantry shortage by lialfj and shows ■ that tno rate of securing infantry: has improved from three to 12 daily." Not all the 36 infantry who liavo gone on po'books since the end of last woek are available for December, but a good many are. Even if ionly half; agree to commence training before Christmas, the position has improved, and now is: Infantry quota ; 144 Infantry available .......... 90 Infantry shortage ...... 64 The latest figures have given rise to ■ i 0 -that by a sustained effort the City can obtain the men it needs as infantry for this month's draft. ~y®s ^'e^a y Group Commander (Major Corrigau) was'notified that there ivere still infantry shortages in the Tenth Reinforcements, who went into camp in the middle of November, and Wellington was invited'through him to contribute some men to fill the gaps. An effort is to be made to rise to the occasion, and men who wish to eo i nto camp without waiting for the Eleventh draft will find in this invitation the chance they are looking for. i LATEST RECRUITS'.
