RECRUITS FLOCK TO JOIN THE COLORS.

UNIVERSAL ENTHUSIASM.

(Received 9.15 a.m.) London, September 2

There are many indications of a boom in recruiting in London. The recruits on Monday were a record. Hundreds in Manchester were unable to obtain medical examination and formed a procession to the Town Hall, where they complained of the delay.

The London Scottish second regiment is now 750 and a third battalion will probably be necessary. Hundreds of the City of London Volunteers were obliged to join outside battalions.

There were 583 recruits at Newport on Monday, making a total of 2561. Many companies are offering generous concessions in enlisting employees and some grant full pay during service. A West Country Bishop has inaugurated a movement for a footballers' legion. There is a movement by ex-public school boys and University men to

raise five battalions, increasing eventually to twenty. A hundred recruiting centres have been opened throughout the Kingdom. The London centre enrolled 150 in the first hour. Lord Kitchener has approved of the first battalion being attached to the Middlesex Regiment.
