A CALL TO SINGLE MEN
. ▼ \ . ' VOICE FROM THE FRONT. Prom a New ■ Zealand soldier in France—a man who has been with our troops since the early days of tho war— comes an appeal for help which should strike homo with great directness to tho eligible men of this 'country. Tho appeal was not written for publication, and is simply an extract fiom a letter received by Sir. Geo. Flrost, of Wellington. This is the extract:—
"In the war villages in close proximity to the battle zone the aged Frenoli peasants are toiling and toiling—peoplo who should be resting—and young boys are doing heavy, men's work. And all eontred oh one object—our emancipation and'welfare. '
Look you! Shake up single stay-at-homes! We wont able-bodied men. The single chaps are wasters if they don't rally and stop the married men from coming away. Have out economists considered this matter in sincerity, and thought out the cost and liability to the State of tlte loss ,of every married man who come 3 away, and is killed? "I trust the boys will rally. We men are looking for strong, young blood to come along and relieve."
