KITCHENER'S REQUIREMENTS. S-l'l'.i-.CU AT Tin: ;il'lL!;r.A!.L. DOMINIONS EULOGISED. aiidi'iU'S Axi) PI:;)!.;..!:,!;!;;) WAS;.

London, Julv 0. In his speech at the recruiting mating at the (.luildhall, Lord Kitchener said he was glad of the Lord Ma.'or's invitation to the Guildhall to make another larger demand upon the lv-ources of English manhood. Our thoughts naturally turned to th« splendid efforts of the dominions, who throughout had ranged themselves beside the motherland. The Indian armies really were the first in the field, but the Canadians closely followed and were now associated with their AngloFrench comrades in Flandt'rs, presenting a solid and impenetrable front. The Australians and New Zealanders, combined with the Anglo-French iu the Dardanelles, had alieady accomplished a feat of arms of almost unexamp.ed brilliance, and were pushing the campaign to a successful conclusion, in each of the great dominion-, new and large, contingents were preparing. South Africa, not content with the Successful accomplishment of an arduous campaign in South-We-t Africa, was now offering large forces for Europe.

Britain, whi'e strengthened by the unflinching support of her fellow citi'eiis oversea, sought to develop h-r ««••> .military resources to the utmost iii.-.'.i-. Tift" vital need was for more and -till more men. The situation in this te-j.e,-t was immeasurably better than it W. ten months ago, hut the position le-la-. was at least as seriou, as then. x Napoleon -aid there were three ne -es--Barie3 in war—money, money, niojiev. Our greatest needs at the moment v. ere men. material and money. The ma: i:e<! success-of the war loan was due to t;\ favorable reception in the Citv of tke energetic efforts of the new Munition? Department in overcoming the difficulties in getting supplies, i He had taken up office as a soldier, hot as a politician, and had early warned them that the war would be arduous and prolonged. He was of the same opinion now. Therefore lie made an unrestricted call for men. Tlie larger the army the greater the need for ever swelling numbers to maintain "its full Strength. Something more was now required to ensure the enlistment of the large reserve which was imperatively needed. The gallant soldiers in the fighting line were beckoning with an urgency which is imperious, pathetically urging the home-stayer- to come out and play their part. Therefore we must go a step further to attract those who from various causes had not yielded to their patriotic impulses. National registration. when completed would enable him to note the men between l!l and 40 who were not required for munitions or other neccswry work, and steps would be taken to secure the enlistment of all possible, firstly from the unmarried men.
