CALLING UP MARRIED MEN.
Lord Kitchener made a splendid Appeal to Britona. He wanted all the men possible for the army, and uncena. ing supplies of munitions. The problem. was how to take millions of men from
the workshope, farma, etc. nad till supply all the war material. Thera must be the utmost economy. Thus civilians, men and women like, must help to achieve victory.
Mr. Balfour said that every man must regulate his personal expenditure ac as best to help national interests,
Mr. Bonar Law said trade was ons of our chief weapons of war. Germany had plunged the world in misery believ ing it would pay. We, however, were united in saying that Germany should never again be allowed to exploit the † Empire. We must throughly, "after the war, examine these problema in conjunction with the Dominions, who were as entitled, as we were to say what the future policy should be.
