17,955 CALLED UP

TERRITORIAL SERVICE Mostly Men With Children TIME FOR APPEALS TILL MAY 8. P.A. WELLINGTON, April 28. The latest ballot of men for Territorial service was issued to-night. It comprises the men whose names appear in the First Division Register of the General Reserve, and from the married men’s classes, 18 .to 19 years, 20 years, 21 to 40 years, 41 to 45 years, also the Second Division classes of married men with children, whose ages are 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 years. To-night Hon. R. Semple (Minister of National Service), said the ballot contains the names of 17,955 men, the majority of whom are married 1 with children, and are 29, 30 and 31 years of age. In addition men who have become eligible for military service in respect of previous classes called up are included. The Minister said that the tendency to appeal should be avoided as much as was humanly possible. If, however, it was necessary for an appeal to be lodged, it should be posted or delivered to the Manpower Committees on or before May Sth. “Manpower Committees,” said Mr, Semple, “are working at top pressure to dispose of appeals in respect of the last ballot as quickly as possible, and if any appeals are late, it is. extremely unlikely that they will be heard.”

Mr Semple added that there had been many inquiries regarding the date of the next ballot and the classes of men to be called up. “While I appreciate the desire of the people to have this information, I regret that at this stage it cannot be given. As soon as the War Cabinet is in a position to make an announcement, the public will be advised.” In the Nelson-West Coast district the number ballotted is 1,129.
