250,000:Volunteers

According to -n-representative- of the London Daily Telegraph, who called recently st85, Ermin's, time headquarters of the National Service Department, the enrol- ment for national service is so far suficient and satisfactory-and "there is no... immediate "prospect of drastic measures becoming mesossary. The results of the appeal for volunteers for national

srvice “have shown enok an in- crossing ratio" during the past wook,” said Mr. F. J. Higgin batom, "that it is evident that the idea of rendering service to the country in some other capa- city than that" which" a "man's mormal compation provides in becoming more deeply impressed upon the minds of the public as time goes on. 1

The number of enrolmente unde. at the National Se.vics | Department is well past the Sigure of 251,000, and the forme were still ecming in at an accele- rated rate over the week-end. The suggestion that the National Serviss scheme has failed in ite object is, therefore, premature,

it is also erroneous to sap pose that the character of the service offered is unsuited to the requirements of the country. The volunteers who come forward are necessarily drawn from all classes, but there is an increasing propor f every week of volunteers whose occupatione are such as to render them adaptable to almost any demand that may be made for workers in every branch of industry and labour.

"Nothing is known at the Department of any intention OA the part of the Government to raise the age for military service, and if National Service volug- nome . forward at same rate

the

they have been doing during the past month there would seem to be no macemity for such sa extreme lep. But the fow of volunteers unst certainly be maintained if salatitutes are to be found for the half-million men who have siready been requisitioned by the War Office in the terms of Sir **wyliam Robertson's statement so the trade union organisations the other day. It is probable that an even larger number of volunteers will be required than the above figure, since it is naturally the ce that a proportion of those who offer themselves are not suitable for the positions vacated by the men who have been called up. If only one-sixth of the available male population between the ages of 18 and 61 were to wolunteer, the necessary reservoir of substitutes could be provided.
