It will be\nenforced accordingly, and the patriotism and good sense of the\npeople can be relied upon to support it. Resistance to its enforcement,\nhowever, by word or act must and will be repressed, as resistance to any\nother law in force must be.\nReinforcements under the Military Service Act\nimmediately required\nIt is the intention of the Government immediately to exercise the\npower which the Act confers and to call out men for military service in\norder to provide reinforcements for the Canadian forces. This is necessary since the military authorities report that the reserves available or\nin sight for reinforcement will shortly be exhausted unleSs this step be\ntaken.\nFirst call limited to men between 20 and 34 who were\nunmarried or widowers without children on\nJuly 6, 1917\nThe present call will be limited to men not in the schedule of exceptions who were unmarried or widowers without children on6th July,! 917,\nare at least twenty years of age, and were born on or since January 1st,\n1883. Of this Class all those will be entitled to conditional exemption\nwhose services in their present occupations, agricultural, industrial or\nother, are essential in the national interest, and whose business or domestic reponsibilities are such that serious hardship would ensue if their\nservices be required. Conscientious scruples baaed upon a prohibition\nof combatant service by the articles of faith of the religious denomination\nto which men belong will also be respected. The men first required to\nserve will consequently be those who can be called upon with the least\ndisturbance of the economic and social life of the country.\nCivil Tribunals to deal with exemptions\nQuestions of exemption will be determined, not by the military\nauthorities or by the Government, but by civil tribunals composed of\nrepresentative men who are familiar with local conditions in the communities in which they serve, who will generally have personal knowledge\nof the economic and family reasons which those whose cases come before\nthem have had for not volunteering their services and who will [be able\nsympathetically to estimate the weight and importance of such reasons.\nProvincial Appellate Tribunals constituted from the existing judiciary of\nthe respective provinces will be provided to correct mistakes made by\nLocal Tribunals, and a Central Appeal Tribunal for the whole of Canada,\nselected from amon g the present Judges of the Supreme Court of Canada,\nwill be constituted in order that identical principles may be applied\nthroughout the country.

September 11,1917--\nExemption Tribunals in all parts of Canada\nThe local exemption tribunals will be constituted with the least delay\npossible, consistent with the selection of representative individuals to\ncompose them, and the instruction of the members in their duties. There\nwill be more than one thousand of such tribunals throughout Canada, each\nconsisting of two members, one of whom will be nominated by a Joint\nCommittee of Parliament, and the other by one of the Judges of the\nexisting Courts. Every effort will be made by the wide distribution of\ntribunals, and by provision where necessary for their sitting in more than\none place, to minimise the inconvenience to which men will be put in\nobtaining the disposition of their cases.\nA Registrar will be appointed in each Province, who will be named\nin the proclamation and to whom enquiries may be addressed. Each\nProvincial Registrar will transmit to the appropriate tribunal the appli-.\ncations for exemption which have been submitted in advance of the sittings, and men who have sent these in will not be required to attend the\ntribunals until notified to do so. Other applicants should attend per*\nsonally on the tribunal without notice.\nHow to report for service\nMen who do not desire to claim exemption will report to the military\nauthorities for service either by mail or in person at any time after the\nissue of the proclamation.   Forms of report by mail will be found in all.\npost offices, and, like applications for exemption, will be transmitted free\nof postage.\nEarly report advantageous\nNo man who reports for service will, although he may be medically\nexamined and passed as fit, be required to go into camp or join a battalion\nuntil after a day fixed by the proclamation sufficiently late to permit of\nthe disposition by the local tribunals of most, if not all, of the applications for exemption which may come before them. Thus no advantage\nwill be gained by delaying or disadvantage incurred by prompt report for\nservice on the part of those who do hot intend to apply for exemption.\nFacilities for immediate medical examination\nImmediately upon the issue of the proclamation, medical boards will\nsit at every mobilization centre for the examination of men who report\nfor service or who, subject to their right within the time limited to apply\nfor exemption, desire to have their physical fitness determined in order to\nallay any doubt as to their physical condition, or to know definitely and\nin advance whether there is a possibility of their services being required.\nCertificates of physical unfitness issued by these Medical Boards will be\naccepted without any further investigation by exemption tribunals when\nthey sit. Men found physically fit who have not reported for service\nmay nevertheless apply for exemption on any cf the prescribed grounds,\nincluding even their physical condition if dissatisfied with the Medical\nBoard's conclusion.\n.Nqtice-Jtojoiii^\n^\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAsranibraiiiai-- are required, notice to report to the nearest mobilization centre will be given from time to time to the men found liable and.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd passed as fit .for. service....
