AUSTRALIA TO ARMS.

telegraph dispatches few days ago, that
Great Britain would raise another big army
q colqnials lends special interest to what an
associated Press correspondent in Melbourne
says Of the recruiting campaign in Australia
re writesItha everything possible is now be-
ing done 70 get more recruits in Australia
everything short of conscription itself There
pre-, after year Of the war. 10000 Australians
under arnk, either IN the firing line at the Oar
danelles ctih1He training camps, hut instead
Of there being any let up In the call for men,
'he demand for them grows more and more In
kistent .s.s.. ..ss
Although the ministry of defense denies
hat it looks to CONSUMPTION, census Of nm
married men has just been taken by the police
Of the various states to determine the fighting
strength. The result of this has not been made
public. The campaign to enlist volunteers
toWever, takes on new vigor each day. There
1Ie speeches BY civil and military authorities
there are newspaper appeals; there are huge
ADVERTISING posters, there are parades, and
there Is even the display Of wounded soldiers
-all to the same end. In Victoria recruiting
campaign covering the last three weeks of
July resulted in more than Is 900 enIistments
> number which, it IS pointed out, equals the
Strength of the entire Australian force which
Fasssent TO Egypt last November. The fact
that New South Wales is in virtually all things
rival of Victoria in some ways jealousy 50
figures to certain extent in a recruiting
campaign which Is now in progress there.
Business houses all over Australia are max
ink II easier for young men IN their employ To-
mist by either keeping up their pay or prom
sing them their old places IL they return, and:
10 induce men- sven with dependents TO join
Pc eolors, the press is by request of the mili-
|.ry authorities printing almost daily the lib
IraI rates Of pay for Australians on active ser
ice and the pensions which will be paid the
.'.abled and the relatives of such officers and
IIirates as may be killed.
But the chief appeal is to patriotism, and
.erer have the Antipodes seen such q wide
.bfead and ardent use as nowadays of the
Lnion Jack Of the Empire and the southern
cross of the young Australian Federation. The
1oxernment will have comparatively little
trouble in clothing the greatly augmented
lumber Of volunteers, but it will have consid-
cradle difficulty in arming them 1t is not inn
probable that il will have to have the assist
.nce Of the imperial government In this respect.
Meanwhile wounded men are beginning tol
BE brought back all the way from the Gallipoli|
peninsula ii fair numbers. BY November it Isl
likely that with cooler weather in the Red Sea
many more viii be returned home Elaborate
Preparations have been made for the care and
treatment of these soldiers. In order to raise
funds for this, july 30 was chosen as Aus
lralia Day and every conceivable method
Of obtaining and soliciting contributions was
Employed on that date from one end Of the
EommonwealtIn to the other. Melbourne and
sydney resembled nothing SO much as huge
county fairs The result of the patriotic char
iiy was sum which, with the returns not yet
ii from many sections, amounts to nearly
s., 100000.
