Fall Division In United Kingdom Without Losses

Second Sailing-F-dllowed Closely On Heels Of F irst-Escorted By FremiYVarships.

AN EASTERN CANADIAN PORT, Jan. 1-(CP)— The armada bearing Canada's second contribution of men- zit-arms to the Allied cause steamed proudly out 0f this harbor recently, defiant of enemy strength on the high seas.

Ringed by a powerful escort of navy craft, the trans- ports put to sea with the second contingent of the Domin- ion‘s first overseas division, supremely confident of a safe and uneventful voyage over the Atlantic.

Two German Planes Shot Dorm’: In Raids New Year’s Day- British Warship Escapes Attack.

(By J. F. Sanderson, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

LONDON, Jan. 1-—(CP Cablc)—The Iiing, with a stroke of his pen, tonight made 2000.000 men liable to scr- vice within the ncxt fcw months in Great Britain's zlrmv, navy or air force.

The King signed a proclamation ordering all mcn who on Jan. 1, 1010 had reached the age of 19, but not rczicllcsl the age of 2S, to register for military service when directed.

It was expected that all classes up to the 27-yczlr-ollls would be absorbed into the colors by the end of 19-10, which would give Britain 3,500,000 men under arms.

Only a few Canadians resident in Britain will be affected by the call-up and Britons living in Canada and other Dominions and colonies will be excluded. In general
