"A great many' men classed C'i who, when tlioy found they were not passed for military service and allowed to go back to their farms or other occupations, undertook to look after the farms or businesses of others." What was the position, Mr. Noswortliy asked, if these men were called up now, seeing that they had taken on bigger obligations than they had before? What provision would be made in view of (lie fact that their business alfairs might, be dislocated? Sir .fames Allen, in reply, stated that none of the Ct! men were beinjj called up fur service direct. Their medical history papers were being examined in order to pick out those that might be eventually re-examined. These men were to be reexamined by a special medical board | which would visit (he various centres. If a man after being re-examined was ordered into camp lie Intel the right of appeal; that had been reserved to hiui.
