The ■ (proclamation states that aU those between the age of 14 to 20, inclusive, are required to register within, a specified time. Are those who have turned 21 years of age out of the training altogether? Thanking you in anticipation, and hoping that I am not trespassing too much on your valuable time.—l am, etc., “TWENTY-ONE." Details of the Proclamation were pqblished in Thursday last’s issue. Anyone over 21 years of age on the 2nd of November, 1910, is exempt from service.
