PRETTY ACTRESS AS RECRUITING SERGEANT. - The concert with novel features in the interests of recruiting took place in the large Town Hall, Reading, on Tuesday night. Men of eligible age were invited to go and take companions of the opposite sex, and in an interval Mrs. Lionel Harris, an American lady, appealed for recruits, and Miss Phyllis Dare, the musical comedy actress, sang in moving accents "Your King and Country want you." In obedience to the call three rushed to the platform and the number gradually grew to forty, of whom three-fourths passed the doctor and received watches, pipes and pouches as souvenirs of the interesting occasion. When the "rush" began to flag Miss Phyllis Dare, donning the recruiting sergeant's hat, canvassed the audience, and triumphantly led two candidates to the front. All the while hundreds of soldiers, including wounded ones, sand "Tipperary" and other chorus classics, and tremendous enthusiasm prevailed.

French Chasseurs des Alpins in Alsace, the sturdy mountain fighters of France, who have shown the Germans in Alsace that France can again and again in this war produce regiments of men who are the equals and better in battle than the best fighting regiments Germany can put in the field.
GERMANS AS BRIDGE BUILDERS.
Near Tongeren, in the neighbourhood of Liege, it is significant that the work being done is only temporary character, but is of the stoutest possible description, owing to heavy traffic that constantly passes through Liege.
Remember--- Every Recruit Helps to Shorten the War.
