than 80 per cent of these men selected
by chance said they did not care, lust
so they were put in that branch 'bf the
service which would take them to
France first
These boys want to Go over the
top. They not only want to fight, but
they want to pay for being allowed to
fight. 7 have here a telegram I re-
ceived tonight from my secretary in
