To the Editor of the "Norra-Cuma Dany News"
Sm.—I wonder if it does not, strike young fellows of from 20 to 40, that it is hardly up to their Taipan to tell them it is their duty to go off as soon as possible to join up, they should do this of their own initiative. I-am one of those here who did not go to the 1914 War. and I have never forgiven myself, and others here probably feel the same amount shame, as we are now too old to join up for this War, so what can we say to our children, As your correspondent wrote. everyone here can be replaced from Taipan to office boy; so just say that you are going, and if there is an office here to return to you can be certain that you will be reinstated and welcomed back as a man who did his duty.
