RECRUITING AT HOME.

I GENERAL ENTHUSIASM.^' 1 'I**'' 1 **'' EVERYBODY HELPING. i Wellington, Tuesday. * An English sportsman, Mr Charles 1 Stoddart, who lias ,)nst arrived from • Home, states that it is extremely unI likely that many English sportsmen will 0 visit New Zealand this season, owing to the general dislocation of commercial and domestic arrangements at Home. Al(j most every family has representatives f either at the front or doing some kind „ of duty in the United Kingdom and f naturally they could not think of g venturing so fur from homo at such a crucial time. Then, again, most of the ? commercial houses have lost large pro- " portions of their staffs, which cnlniled more work upon tlie principals u»2 those too old to volunteer at present. .The a authorities, Mr Stoddart pointed out, were only accepting volun- ). tecra up to 35 years of age, but other ;- battalions were being formed of men of i, kindred thought and station on which r men up to 45 years of ago were accepted. i, That idea was promoted by Lord Derby, n who formed the "Pals" battalion. Then e there is a sportsmen battalion, a foote bailers' battalion, an artists' battalion, r and so on. Naturally ;t man wotild pre- ' for to volunteer in a company where he would be associated with men of his own class, and Lord Derby's idea liad been the means of obtaining many thousands II of volunteers among those'who Alight have held off longer. The spirit pree vailing at Home was really splendid. . Everyone was endeavouring to do soniei. thing to help the nation. Not long r before lie left he dined in London with l 1 two or three friends. One of the party was an carl's son, who being above mili- . tary age, was content to do the work ot a nightwatchman. Thcv called them r special constables, but really thcv were only guarding important buildings, as a nightwatchman would do. Sport has not altogether been neglected at Home, says Mr Stoddart. There ■was still considerable racing, shooting, ' w Vi "i? g onc England, but naturally there was not the usual enthusiasm for such recreations at a time ; like the present.
