It may indicate definiu'iy when the Class I) men (tlir'o children) will be required for camp, and it is expected to extend the oppor*. tnnities for volunteering. There seems no doubt th.it a break in the, ::iunthly sequence of Uillots will he made after the exhaustion of Class C. That is to say. the tirsl halloi in ('lass I) will not lake place ill the month following the last call on Class C. It is likely, also, that some of the Ol.i ■ (' |-,k n v. ii; re; civc more tha:i the three months' leave promised tin in. This will not apply to men already posted to drafts; hut the mobilisation of the August and September drafts .substantially in excess of the strength required for the reduced reinforcement, quota will necessitate some adjustments in the camps. Tt should be remembered, in any calculation cm the subject of recruiting, that the anthorites have to allow for something like 10 per cent of wastage in order to be on the safe side. Some men drop out from various causes after posting and before mobilisation, and other men are discharged from camp during training.
