M.P.. speaking at the send-off to the troops for Trentham on Saturday at Blenheim (says the Marlborough' Pxpress) made passing reference (o the talk of “shirkers.” The true “shirkers,” he said were not those who were willing enough to go but were debarred by homo duties, but the men of broad acres and big bank balances, who would not come to the front when tlm call eame for funds for the starving Belgians, the various patriotic funds, and the Hospital Ship Fund. The names of these “ shirkers ” would go down in infamy to posterity. There wore many such; let them eome forward if they would not bo for over disgraced.
