The Sunday telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1914-1927, 1915-07-11

No man wishes to be called cow
ard. Especially does he shrink from
being called such by one Of tho
gentler sex.
These two facts are aiding Eng
land in putting its large fghtiug
force In the field and in obtaining
recruits SO rapidly that it is almost
impossible to thoroughly train them
before 1t Is necessary to send them
to the front to make room in bar
racks for a new set of volunteers.
Women. brave women, are trav-
ersing the streets OF London and
other big cities urging men to join
the army and fight for their country
and those who blush and turn away
with the remark, 81 have business to
attend to-" or "a wife and children
who need my protection" go with
the brand of the coward on them.
The government, too. is aiding the
work by advertising for recruits
some are shaming those who refuse
to go to the protection of their coun-
try and others jocularly inviting
prospective recruits on sumner
trip to Berlin"
The London Daily Mail is now
carrying this ad.: Five questions to
men who have NOT enlisted:
ENLISTMENT
sADS."
AIf you are physically lit and
q between 10 and 3s years old. are

come when people ask you:

"A more facetious advertisement
has been sent out by the war de.
partment, reading as follows:

An advertisement in the London
Chronicle appeals to the women
In the following words:
"You have read what the
Germans have done in Belgium
Have you thought what they
would do If they invaded Eng
land?
"Do you realize that the safe
ty of your home and children
depends on our getting more
men now?
apo you realize that the one
word Co from you will send
another man to fight for our
king and country?
when the war Is over and
your husband or son is asked

your duty. Send your men to-
day to join our glorious army

MALE SERVANTS

In its search for able-bodied men,
the government has even request
ed householders not to employ as

employ male servants:
"4ave you butler, groom.
chauffeur, gardener or game
keeper serving you who at this
moment should be serving your

your car who should be driving
