Thirial., the "Sphere's" special artist, in the course of a letter whirl, accompanied the above drawing, writes of General Jofre and General French at the front "the following terms—"At night—somewhere near the front-inside an abandoned farmhouse in the midst of fields. Two men are together there—those on whom we ate setting all our hopes, and who are giving all their knowledge, their lives, for the freedom of the world. You never know where they are, and, ll you do see them, still you must not know where you met them. They are nowhere, and yet everywhere.

This photograph was taken near Liverpool, and shows New South Wales volunteers training under service conditions. We are told by the Defence authorities that Australia will send reinforcements to the front at the rale of about 3000 per month, the basis of contribution being as follows:-No. 1 District (Queensland) 406- No 2 (New South Wales), 1021 ; No. 3 (Victoria). 970; No. 4 (bouth Australia), 330; No. 5 (Western Australia), 357; No. 6 (Tasmania),**! 53; total 3237. Instead of 3000, we should be sending 10,000 troops each month.

The Government would meet with popular approval if it bestirred itself in this direction without further delay…
