Li I] trial subscript ind ependent industry Reinforcements under the Military Service Act immediately required It is the intention of the Government immediately to exercise the hich the Act confers and to call out men for military service in power w This 13 neces- order to provide reinforcements for the Canadian forces. sary since the military authorities report that the reserves available or in sight for reinforcement will shortly be exhausted unless this step be taken. The present call will be limited to men not in the schedule of excep- tions who were unmarried or widowers without children on 6th J uly,1 917, are at least twenty years of age. and were born on or since January lst, 1883. Of this Class all those will be entitled to conditional exemption whose services in their present occupations, agricultural, industrial or other, are essential in the national interest, and whose business or domes- tic reponsibilities are such that serious hardship would ensue if their services be required. Conscientious scruples based upon a prohibition ofcombatant service by the articles of faith of the religious denomination to which men belong will also be respected. The men first required to serve will consequently be those who can be called upon with the least disturbance of the economic and social life of the country. Questions of exemption will be determined, not by the military authorities or by the Government, but by civil tribunals composed of representative men who are familiar with local conditions in the com. munities in which they serve, who will generally have personal knowledge of the economic and family reasons which those whose cases come before them have had for not volunteering their services and who will [be able sympathetically to estimate the weight and importance of such reasons. Provincial Appellate Tribunals constituted from the existing judiciary of the respective provinces will be provided to correct mistakes made by Local Tribunals, and a Central Appeal Tribunal f or the whole of Canada, selected from among the present Judges of the Supreme Court of Canada, will be constituted in order that identical principles may be applied throughout the country. Jn this way every man may rest assured of the fair and full consideration of his circumstances and the national require. ments both civil and military. HE LIILITARY SERVICE ACT has received the assent of the l Governor-General and is now part of the law of the land. It will be enforced accordingly, and the patriotism and good sense of the peeple can be relied upon to support it. Resistance to its enforcement, however. by word or act must and will be repressed, as resistance to any other law in force must be. Applications for exemption may be made by written notice on forms which will be available at every post ofiice, and will be transmitted free of postage. They will not, however, be required to be made in this way, but may be presented by the applicants in person to the exemption tri- bunals. The cases of those who have given written notice in advance will take precedence, and appearance in person will therefore be likely to involve considerably more inconvenience and delay to the men con- cerned. so that it is recommended that advantage be generally taken ’of the facilities for written application. First call limited to men between 20 and 34 who were unmarried or widowers without children on July 6, 1617 Civil Tribunals to deal with exemptions A proclamation will issue calling out the bachelors and widowers referred to and fixing a day on or before which every man must report for service to the military authorities unless he has before that day made an application for exemption.

REPORT OF MEETING FOR ORGANIZATION OF RESOURCES A meeting was called by the Mayor 8. G. MeCoubrey, at Iroquois Falls. on September 27th., 1917., for the pur- pose of organizing a local Committee of the Organization of Resources. and the ladies of the town were asked par- ticularly to attend. The (‘hair was taken at. 8:15 pan. by the. Mayor, before a very large audience. The (‘hairman explained just what the Organization consisted of and how they should go about try- ing to save on certain lines of food, partienlarly bacon, ham and beef. The local exemption tribunals will be constituted with the least delay possible, consistent with the selection of representative individuals to compose them, and the instruction of the members in their duties. There will be more than one thousand of such tribunals throughout Canada, each consisting of two members, one of whom will be nominated by a Joint Committee of Parliament, and the other by one of the Judges of the existing Courts. Every effort will be made by the wide distribution of tribunals, and by provision where necessary for their sitting in more than one place, to minimise the inconvenience to which men will be put in obtaining the disposition of their cases. A Registrar will be appointed in each Province, who will be named in the proclamation and to whom enquiries may be addressed. Each Provincial Registrar will transmit to the appropriate tribunal the appli- cations for exemption which have been submitted in advance of the sit- tings, and men who have sent these in‘ will not be required to attend the tribunals until notified to do so. .Other applicants should attend per- sonally on the tribunal without notice. Men who do not desire to claim exemption will report to the military authorities for service either by mail or in person at any time after the issue of the proclamation. Forms of report by mail will be found in all post ofiices, and, like applications for exemption, will be transmitted free of postage. Notice of the day appointed for the making of a claim for exemption or for report for military service will be published as widely as possible, but, as no personal notice can be given until the individuals called out have so reported themselves or claimed exemption, men possibly con~ cerned are warned to inform themselves with regard to the day fixed. since neglect may involve the loss by them of important privileges and rights. Exemption Tribunals in all parts of Canada How to report for service Early report advantageous Notice to join the colors As reinforcements are required, notice to report to the nearest mobil- ization centre will be given from time to time to the men found liable and passed as fit for service. Disobedience of such notice will render the ofi'ender liable to punishment, but punishment for failure to report for military service, or to report subsequently for duty when called upon; will be imposed ordinarily by the civil magistrates; oiTenders, however, will remain liable for the performance of their military duties notwith- standing any civil punishment which may be imposed and will be liable to military punishment in cases in which civil proceedings are not taken. Watch for the Proclamation No man who reports for service will, although he may be medically examined and passed as fit, be required to go into camp or join a battalion until after a day fixed by the proclamation sufficiently late to permit of the disposition by the local tribunals of most, if not all, of the applica- tions for exemption which may come before them. Thus no advantage will be gained by delaying or disadvantage incurred by prompt report for ervice on the part of those who do not intend to apply for exemption. Certificates of physical unfitness issued by these Medical Boards will be accepted without any further investigation by exemption tribunals when they sit. Men found physically fit who have not reported for service may nevertheless apply for exemption on any of the prescribed grounds, including even their physical condition if dissatisfied with the Medical Board’s conclusion. Facilities for immediate medical examination Immediately upon the issue of the proclamation, medical boards will sit at every mobilization centre for the examination of men who report for service or who, subject to their right within the time limited to apply for exemption, desire to have their physical fitness determined in order to allay any doubt as to their physical condition, or to know definitely and in advance whether there is a possibility of their services being required. CHAS. J. DOHERTY, November. An illustration of the Organization was then given to the ladies as to how it was organized. at the 800, On- tario. and how the Ministers were asked in that City to solicit from the members of the congregations their sympathy in receiving the ladies who would call upon- them to explain the signing of the Pledge (‘ards and the hanging of the \Vindow Card, as it was feared that perhaps some of the ladies who were not present might. take exception to the call that would be made upon them. The Chairman would like it to be. as widely known as possible that no such intention as prying into the home affairs of the ladies of the Town was intended: but only, that they should give their sympathy. as far as possible to the ladies of the Commit- tee who would call upon them who had been appointed to carry out, as nearly as possible. the lines laid down by the. Food Controller as contained in the War Measures Aet. The following Officers were then unanimously elected as the first Or- ganization to take charge of the hand- ling of the Food Problem: Presidentâ€"Mrs. R. A. Mel'nnis. (‘onnnittee (With power to add to the numher):-â€"Mrs. H. L. Sanborn, Mrs J. Zieman, Mrs. Robert Little. Honorary Secretaryâ€"Mrs. Gillette. The Chairman urged on the ladies present the importance of taking an early opportunity of arranging their Districts and getting the cards and pledges displayed and signed.
