[Illustration: WHO FORBIDS THE BANDS?
["A band revives memories, it quickens association, it opens and unites
the hearts of men more surely than any other appeal can, and in this
respect it aids recruiting perhaps more than any other agency."--_Mr.
RUDYARD KIPLING at the Mansion House meeting promoted by the
Recruiting Bands Committee._]]

[Illustration: _Recruit_ (_speaking of his late employer_). "AN' 'E
SAYS TO ME, 'IT WANTS A COAL-HAMMER TO KNOCK IT INTO YOUR 'EAD.'"
_Friend._ "DID 'E SAY THAT?"
_Recruit._ "YES, 'E DID. BUT I LET 'IM 'AVE IT BACK. I SAYS, 'IT
'UD BLOOMING WELL TAKE MORE THAN YOU TO DO IT!'"]
