AT THE DARDANELLES.

HEALTH OF TROOPS.

STEADILY BECOMING BETTER.

London, Oct. 25,

A correspondent says that all repoi'ts indicate that the health of the troops at the Dardanelles is improving. The Anzac sick lists are steadily decreasing and when the new troop are seasoned, sickness should nearly disappear.—Times and Sydney Sun Services.

RECRUITING-IN THE DOMINION.

TOO MUCH SPORT

Christchurch, October 37.

At a meeting of the Citizens Defence Corps a member said there was no disguising the fact that the example of some leading citizens in encouraging young men to take part in sport every Saturday was retarding recruiting. It was natural for young men to enjoy themselves and while the older people encouragethefn they could not be blamed. They should face the music. The meeting decided to arrange a conference of employers and the Defence Minister in order' to discuss the matter.
