LADIES MEN.
To the Editor. Sir,—What constitutes the above? Are they men who are delicate, or gun shy, or afraid of an operation to help them pass the military doctor, or favor golf, ride on motor bikes or cars with a pretty girl alongside them, instead of fighting for their country at the theatre of war? I know several young men who are as hard as nails, and apparently they could bang into any German or anything on wheels and not get hurt. Let us be up and doing and go slow in our dealings with the shirker. Girls,.listen! Smile not on him till he means business by enlisting; take not the excuse "I have something wrong with me; I couldn't pass." Rally him along to do his duty! Fair maidens! are your children of the future to own a father who shirked at his country's call? Babes unborn, when you reacli the age of reason, what will daddy's tale be to you? YoungVoinan, pledge your troth to the sterling heart and humane soul, and remember, if the case contains physical blemishes incurred in stopping German cut-throats, it was to protect you. Lady, man is your protector and' take not his excuse, "I am sure I couldn't pass." Make him enlist and try. If you love him and he says he loves you, let him not be shamed and shame you by waiting for compulsion.—l am, etc., PATERFAMILIAS.
