FOR THE FRONT.

MORE MEN FROM TARANAKI. THIRTY-TWO ENLISTMENTS. Recruiting has been particularly brisk .in Tarnnaki during the past few days, and especially since the success of the New Zealanders in the Dardanelles was announced the New Plymouth Defence Oliice has had to deal with many applications for enrolment in the reinforcements of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. Taranaki is well represented in the forces lighting in the Dardanelles, there are Taranaki men on the water going to the firing line, and there are others in training at Trcntham, while there are indications that there will be many Taranaki men in future reinforcements.
