The 161st Huron Battalion has beep ordered to mobilize on J tie 1st
AND AT FUEL STRENGTH
Will your County be humiliated by having the first Battalion she was authorized to for
go into Camp UNDER STRENGTH ?
Will the word "Huron" ever stand as a reproach throughout the Empire ? Or will the people
of this County Rally to their pride and to THEIR HONOUR ?
The Last Call for Volunteers
TO THE. MEN
The business of the young man of the County tc-day is the completion of the `Battalion
she was asked to form.
Kitohener urges "men and more men." Canada has promised him 500,000. Will you be
mne,?
Are you content to remain at home in ease and reap business advantages while other
.men take your place in the firing line.
Will your conscience remain clear and clean each day of the long years to come?
Does the sight of your chum in khaki leave you untroubled and undisturbed.
Make such sacrifices as may be necessary (the Empire is worthy of them) to enable you
to take your place in your County Battalion.
ENLIST and \ENLIST today, with the knowledge that, at last, you are playing the
(part of a MAN.

Do you know what is happening to women in Europe to -day ?
Do you know what the women of Belgium, of Servia, of Flanders and even of your own
,'ace in the old land have suffered by the invading HUNS?
Do you know that thousands and tens of thousands, with their little ones, are driver
starving from their homes to die in misery; that they are bein(; violated and slaughtered ?
Do you realize that if this war is not fought out in Europe that you and S our children
may be forced to share the sufferings of those in Europe?
Do you realize that if Canada is to protect her people, her homes a,:oi•.%ler 1 ;)erty, her
men must be givers without stint to take part in the struggle?
Thousands of glorious mothers, wives and :,esters have given their dearest, to th , '.rause of
Humanity and of Empire. Can you meet this type of woman nod in social ^ntereourie' Are you
content to see other mothers, wives and sisters proudly sending off their mantic "d to l 1c,.e • rrou and '
your menfolk
Or will you meet the burden of this ger3+.rat',.
