the hour specified for assembly and

"Here!" as his name is called and to
take one step forward.
Thereafter the men will be required
to remain in one group except as it
may be necessary to break up the
group for transportation, and no man
will be allowed to leave the group
without permission.
The board will caution the men that
the person designated is in command
of the party, that it is their military
duty to obey his orders and instruc-

is the most serious of all military
crimes. The local board will then in
spect the party to see that nothing
except light baggage is carried.

der the supervision of the board, des-
ignate second command to take
charge of the party during any neces-

animation will be inserted. From the
moment of writing in the names of
