RENEWED ACTW-
ITY IN RECRUIT
ING IN ENGLAND

CORRESPONDENCE Associated Press)
London. March o5.-From April II to
April % all the recruiting agencies IN
Greater London are to make a special
appeal for additional men for the ma
,ion's new armies. Patriotic demonstra-
tons will be held daily in every Metro
oltan district and the number of such
gatherings already arranged exceeds
1863
Similar recruiting fortnights" have
been held or are to be held shortly IN
all the larger cities throughout Great
Britain The mass-meetings will be held
in parks, public squares. halls and some
from motor trucks after the manner OF
an american election campaign. Taere
will be bands or fife and drum corps for
most Of the larger meetings, and the
orators will be Representatives OF all
three great political parties. Al each
meeting the latest recruiting leaflets
will be distributed. Efforts will be made
By appealing directly to particular locah-
ties to inspire local pride and healthy
competition between neighboring dis
tricts.
The official notice of the plan for the
London Fortnight says: 1T is felt that
Notwithstanding the large numbers of
patriotic Londoners who have already
Joined the army or avy. there are many
more who may now desire 10 join the
colors. including men who were and are
willing. but who were prevented by good
and s, fflcient reasons, which no longer
apply with equal force. from enlisting in
the early days Of the war, men who at
the outset offered their services. but
were rejected owing to their inability to
fulfil certain conditions which have
since been altered and others who would
give their services but for the erroneous
idea that If they enlist now they will
be too late to be of effective use before
the end of the war. In Lord Kitcheners
words Men and more men still will
be needed until the enemy has been
finally crushed"
