APPEAL OF THE JOINT WAR COMMITTEE It becomes necessary for the Order of St. John aud the British Red Cross Society to appeal once more to the generosity of their friends and supporters at home and overseas for funds to cary on their work of mercy for the sick and wounded of His Majesty's Forrces. The Joint Committee has decided to make''such an appeal on October eighteenth, and we earnestly beg your assistance in making it known to the people of the Dominion.. Our Red CrofiS work is now costing eight thousands pounds a day and increases rather than diminishes. Our help is given in every theatre of the war and to troops from every part of the Empire and will have to be: continued for some time, even when victory has been achieved. We are deeply grateful for the munificent help received from sympathizers in all parts of the world, and we trust that with your assistance the appeal made on "Our Day" will meet with a response which Avill enable us to continue to do all that is humanly possible to lessen the sufferings of those on whose behalf we plead. Their Majesties the King and Queen and Her Majesty Queen Alexandra have graciously given us their patronage and support. (Signed) ARTHUH Grand Prior of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

BUSINESS AND THE DRAFT LAW Employers of Labor Express Pleasure At Early Chance to Know Wluit 'Employees Are Liable for Service- Ottawa, Oct. 1.���������Business men throughout the country are expressing their satisfaction with the system of Medical Boards for selecting men for military service early, of which notice has been given by the Military Service Council in the press of Canada. The system will enable employers to tell in a comparatively short time how many of those in their employ are liable to be drafted and what men are not concerned in the call. The physical test is, of course, the most important. Meanwhile, the economist "sharps'' are busy speculating as to whether introduction of method and order into the system of removing men from industries of national importance, or rather the advent of a sys- Mr. T.

WAt- THE MILITARY SERVICE ACT Exemption from service under the Military Service Act, may be claimed on eight separate grounds. The forms oi; application which will be available at post offices throughout the Dominion in the course of the next "few weeks, make this clear. The grounds are: First���������Importance of continuation c: employment in habitual occupat- io n. Second���������Importance of continuing employment as ��������� ��������� for which he is specially qualified. ��������� Third���������Importance of continuing education or training. Fourth���������Serious hardship.owing to exceptional financial obligations... Fifth���������Serious hardship} owing to exceptional business obligations.. ������������������ Sixth���������Serious hardship owing to exceptional domestic position. Seventh���������111 health or infirmity. Eighth���������Adherence to religious denomination, of which the articles of P.iith forbid combatant service. The form is. drafted much after, the style of a ballot paper. The applicant for exemption is required to place a cross opposite the grounds on which the claim is, made. His case will then go to the local tribunal to - ��������� ��������� - .',-.< ill..' which proof in support will be submitted. Application for exemption.may be made not only by the man himself but by his employer or a near relative In Great Britain claims for exemption on the ground of a man being indespensible in his civil occupation are generally made by the employer, who appeals to the tribunal on behalf, oi his men. It is felt that such ,a clalmcan best be made by the employer. In any event a man claiming essential occupation would need to have the support of his employer, to his claim. The forms of military report are equally simple. These will be used 1-y men who do not wish to claim exemption.. "I hereby report myself for military service.

FARMING; .-WEST.>NOT Ko Fear Expressed of Tlntensiflei I 'irROUBLEi Shortage of Labor,After the Draft Is In Operation. Ottawa, September 2 9.���������Reports, reaching here from the agricultural districts in Western Canada indicate that no trouble is-anticipated, from Intensified:labor problems as a result of the operation of the-Military Service Act. . Experience at the time.of the harvest this year, \;-hen,..sumcr lent labor was supplied through the co-operation of the many patriotic forces in adifion to the regular supply., has. caused the farmers to view the prospect with complacence^ in the first years. of the war, a/ large number of farmers, left-the land to join the armies. The exodus was led by the large number of men from the Old Country who had taken up farms in the west. The operation of the Exemption Boards,-under the Military.Service Act. wall tend to prevent,any;serious withdrawal of farmers or their assistants.in future, as agriculture is one.of the industries which will be given.particular care. Since Western Canada is intensely i democratic, in-its political views,, the sharing of military burdens tinder the Military. Service- Act -meets, with wide approval there. The scope permitted Exemption Boards ,i.n their dealings with individual cases is nevertheless admitted-to. be necessary ..in the highest interests of, the country. Exemption Tribunals in all parts of Canada 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 mnde by the wtoc 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 cnsc3. A Registrar will be appointed in euch 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 applications 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^notincd-to do so. ..Other.applicants should attend per- - sonally on tlie tribunal without notice. How to report for service 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 offices, and, like applications for exemption, will be transmitted free of postage. . o ' Early report advantageous No man ,w,hp.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 service on the part of those who do not intend to apply for exemption. Facilities for immediate medical examination Immediately upon the issue of the proclamation, medical boards will ; sit at eyery-.-mobilization centre for the examination of men who report for service or who, subject to their right within the time limited to apply-, for exemptiqn, 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- 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. Notice jtp join the colors As reinforcements are required, notice to report to the nearest mobiW-o 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 . offender liable to punishment, but punishment for failure���������to reportfor military?service, or to report subsequently,for duty when called upon; will be.imposed ordinarily by the civil magistrates; offenders, 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 nottaken. . \yatch for the. Proclamation Notice;pf 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 concerned are warned to inform.them9elves:with regard to1 the day-fixed;��������� since negieot may involve .the loss by them of important privileges and .- rights,; %, - CHAS.
