THE ORDER OF SERVICE
Sir,—ln your issue of Saturday, May i, appeared an epistle by "Class B,"witii reference to men put back in file order of going on service. Well, Sir, I ivitili to ask "Class li" if he under any circumstances would leave thoso dependant upon him with hardships staring them in the face? If so, all 1 could say of him is that he is no! worth being called a num. Then, again, he refers to a man being married a year after- the wur started now having two children, and urging the Defence authorities to put this man in camp. Sir, would it not be more manly of "Class B," who i presume has only one child, to proceed to camp and leavT the man with two children behind? This, Sir, is my way of looking at it, ns I would do the same wero I fit for military service. "What I think of "Class B" is that now the time has coim for him to swallow the medicino which all First Divisionists have had to take 'he finds it too much, and so ho would sooner seo the man with two chiUlr&i go beforo ho would venture. If "Class B" would adopt thp princinlo of "do to others as von would they should do unto you" he might then I appear to more advantage. Hoping you will publish this in your paper at the first opportunity.—l am, etc., EQUALITY EVERY TIME.
