AN URGENT CALL.

PLACES TO BE FILLED

{United Pit ess Association.]

Wellington, ' May 6.

Discussing the question of recruiting to-day, the Hon. James Allen said: "If J had not already registered, and I saw the lis-tis oi casualties circulated throughout Use city to-day, I should feel that tlio call had come to me in most urgent terms. If I hadn't already donefi, I should go straight ay/ay and iynU"b. ido not think the country has really roalisod how tremendous is the j^o we have in hand, arid how we have to lose men, and how the lost places hove to be filled by those who are here and fit to go and who have not yet gone. I cannot believe it possible that the man who is fit to go dees not want to go. The lists of casu-

alties that wo have received ought to stimulate recruiting immensely. That is the experience everywhere, else, and I have no doubt it will be the same in New Zealand."
