Auckland

To the common end we all have in view, the women of the Dominion are contributing a service which even manhood cannot rival. Auckland has not been behind in supplying its full quota of recruits to swell the ranks of that dauntless army of women who have sacrificed their all on the altar of patriotism. The army of women in Auckland although it has no uniform, no parades, no official recognition—with a deadly earnestness that vies with the efforts of the men they have sent to the front—have enthusiastically and wholeheartedly placed their services at the disposal of the authorities in all patriotic efforts to assist in the fight for the maintenance of the British principles of liberty and justice Moreover, it is an army which has been enlisted voluntarily down to the very last woman. There are no women slackers or shirkers in Auckland; and to those men who have not already signified their willingness to take their place in the fighting line, I can only say; " Follow the example that the women of the Dominion have set, and prove yourselves British to the core by declaring yourselves inevitably on the side of Right, Truth and Humanity."
