[a table provides details of payments, allowances and pensions for enlisted married men and their families.] In addition to the above there is 1s. per day deferred pay, a mounting to £18 5s. per year, which the soldier draws in a lump sum on his return. Then, again, a man has to remember that he is fed and clothed while in the A.I.F., which is, of course, a big item to consider. Don't forget too, that the rates quoted above are for the PRIVATE. Such a big proportion of the men enlisting in Queensland to-day are married men, that we thought it would be a good plan to state all the rates of pay and pensions clearly for there information. There is no doubt that the single men are not coming forward as they should, and many married men are coming to the conclusion that there is only one thing left to do - take up the sword themselves. HOW TO ENLIST In Brisbane - Go to Adelaide Street Enlisting Depot (next to State School). In the Country - Go to nearest Town Clerk, or Shire Clerk, or Local Recruiting Committee, who will give you all the necessary instructions. STATE RECRUITING COMMITTEE OF QUEENSLAND, G.M. DASH, Captain, State Organising Secretary. Preston House, Queen Street, Brisbane.
