A Battalion composed of the sons and grandsons of those sturdyold pioneers who in the years gone by, settled within the borders of the County and by the sweat of their brows carved out the broad acres and laid the foun- dation for the unexampled prosperity of Huron. To the sons of these men—to the sons and godsons who have not listened to the eomtnand of King and Country—I-make this appeal. The Huron Battalion has been order- ed to mobilize about May 155th and the needed 250 men to complete the es- tablishment of the Battalion must be enlisted by the time of mobilization. This is a direct command of your Kingand a command which must be hearened to by every man in the County. If of military age and physical fitness your duty is plainly to enlist. If over 45 years of age your duty can be done by urging and insist- ing that the younger men do their "bit." If under 45 years of age and not physically 8t you can at least wear the button -ribbon which will be supplied you by the Medical Examiner of your local Detachment, after he has examined you and given you a certificate of military unfitness. This is the last call for men to come forward of their own free will and to save the County from the stigma of reproach in that "sine did not do her duty." Kitchener says "The last man and the last shall win the victory." May - hap your individual enlistment will be the means of the Allies inevitable triumph. Put aside all petty jealous- ies and considering only an Empire's need and re County's welfare come forward and take the place reserved for you amongst the men who in the days to come will prove worthy of a County's pride and of a County's honor. The twelfth hour is striking. The time for your decision has ' arrived. The answer must be Aye or Nay. Will it be "Ready, aye Ready I" in the 181st? H. B. OoMBE, Lieut. -Col. W. H.
