THE MAN TO BE PITIED.

STRATFORD “MEN” NOTE. The following is a copy of an advertisement that is being largely used in Britain at the present time in order to foster the recruiting movement: — THE MAX TO BE PITIED. Xow that the eyes of the Nation are upon the men who honour themselves by SERVING their King and Country, how sad is the lot of the man who cannot go! He knows what his Country thinks of the men who have answered the call. He envies them the great opportunity which he has missed. I hey were of a soldier’s age; they were physically fit; AND THEY WENT. After the war is over THEY will be able to hold up their heads. Their womenfolk and their children will be proud of them. But HE! He who had no part in this great honour. No crowds will cheer him through the streets. He will hear the praise of other men’s courage and patriotism; but lie will have no share in it. His lot is hard. He is to be pitied. Are YOU going to be pitied or praised ? If you are physically fit—don’t be pitied. ENLIST TO-DAY. GOD SAVE THE KING.
