CALL TO ARMS

WELLINGTON'S RESPONSE MEN WANTED. With the parade of the 7th Reinforcements and new battalions through the city on Saturday, and the opening of the new recruiting office in the Town Hall, the urgent appeal to men to enlist has been somewhat better answered in Wellington lately. Since noon yesterday a further forty recruits have returned their medical papers after having been examined by the doctor. As this number includes unfits as well as fits, and thousands of men are wanted all over the Dominion to make up the reinforcement drafts, it is hoped that an even greater improvement will yet take place. Men are badly wanted for the Infantry and Mounted Rifles, so that there is no excuse for those who are able to for not enlisting. The names of those who have returned their papers to the Group Office are : — Wiseman, John Archibald, student Mence, Arthur L., mechanic King, James Girtwood, bushman Moms, Jeremiah, cook Thomson, Richard J.
