Procedure to obtain Leave of Absence Men Nineteen and Twenty Years of Age It has come to the attention of the Government that there is a widespread impression that young men of nineteen years and those who became twenty since October 13 1917 as well ass those who may become nineteen from time to time and who have been or will be called upon to register under the Military Service Act are to be immediately called to the colours This impression is quite incorrect No date has yet been fixed for calling upon such men to so report for duty nor has the question been brought before the Cabinet for decision In view of the need labour on the farm it is most unlikely that consideration will be given to the matter until after the harvest is although of course the Governments action must be determined primarily by the military situation There is no further obligation incumbent upon young men of the ages above mentioned who have registered or who do so hereafter until they receive notice from the Registrars Harvest Leave Some enquiries have been received as to the possibility of granting harvest leave to such troops as may be in the country at that time No definite assur ance can be given on this point as advantage must be taken of ships as they become available On the other hand harvest leave will be given if at all possible Leaye of Absence on Grounds of Extreme Hardship It is desired that the Regulations respecting leave of absence in cases of hard ship should be widely known and fully understood Such leave will be granted in two cases a where extreme hardship arises by reason of the fact that the man concerned is only son capable of earning a livelihood of a father killed or disabled on service or presently in service overseas or in training for such service or under treatment after returning from overseas or the only remaining of two or more brothers capable of earning a livelihood oilier brother or brothers having been killed or disabled on service or being presently in service overseas or in training for overseas or under treatment after his or their return from overseas brothers married before August 1914 living in separate establishments and having a child or children not to be counted in determining the fact that the man is the only remaining on or brother where extreme hardship arises by reason of exceptional circumstances such as the fact that the man concerned is the sole support of a widowed mother an invalid father or other helpless dependents It is to be noted that in all these cases the governing factor is not hardship loss or suffering to the individual concerned but to others that is members of his family or those depending upon him Procedure to obtain leave of absence A simple system for dealing with these cases has been adopted Forms of application have supplied to every Depot Battalion and an officer of each battalion has been detailed whose duty it is to give them immediate attention The man concerned should on reporting to his unit state that he desires to apply for leave of absence on one or more of the grounds mentioned and his application form will then be filled out and forwarded to Militia Headquarters Ottawa In the meantime if the case meritorious the man will be given provisional leave of absence for thirty days so that he may return home and continue his civil occupation while his
