Interpretation OF the selective service

reserve recognized by the military bu-
reau of the war department, the navy,
the marine corps, the coast guard
and the naval militia, naval reserve
force, marine corps reserve and ma
tional naval volunteers recognized by

Just before the beginning of the war
Canada held practically the same at
