To the last part of the supplementary question I think the answer must be, "No, Sir." In regard to the first part, I would rather wait, before talking about failure, until we get the final figures. I have four or five days' returns to come in before they are complete. At any rate, I am satisfied that it has been worth while to get somewhere near 1,600 to 1,700 men voluntarily to decide for themselves to make good for the future.
