be unmarried.
It is estimated there are 450,000 el-
igible men in these classes after' al- lowing for exemptions and ineldgih- les. The first three classes should pro- vide more than enough to furnish the 100,000 men required. |

The only definite class ex-I empt from service are clergymen oi. all denominations. Mennonites and Doukhobors, and tho con- scientious objector will not be freed from military service but from combatant corps. I The system of exemption has evid-
ently been worked out with great cam. There are to be three tribunals Bret of all. local tribunals composed of two persons are to sit in each loc- ality wherever designated by the Minister of Justice.
One of these two men is to be
chosen by a board of selection and this board of members is to be naiu-I ed, not by the Government but by Parliament.
The Premiers intention tis that it
shall be composed of men acceptable to both and all elements of political, Elini. | These local tribunals shall bear ap-
plications for exemption and the pirlncitplee upon which they shall act are not out in the bill. Boiled down they require that the tribunals shall decide whether or not the m-an who asks for exemption is boat serving the national interest, at the work he is et or in Military service.
The next tribunal is called an ap-
peal tribunal. and ie. composed of 'one judge of any court to be designated b the Chief Justice of the Province when the appeal is entered. All ap pllclnte for exemption and anyone authorized by the Militia Department hee free right of a special to this ap- peal tribunal.
