CONSUMPTION IN CANADA

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. Coon
scription became lew in Canada today
when Justice Buff, of the supreme
court, acting for the government,
gave royal assent to tn, measure.
The bill is for the purpose of rails
ing 100000 men to reinforce the Ca
madam divisions fighting at the
front. All Canadians between 20
and 45 years may be called. They
will be divided into classes according
to age, whether married or single.
1t is expected that in the future
the first cle:s consisting of all mar
ried Canadians between 20 and "a
years will be called and that this
class will provide the required 1OO,-
600.
After assent had been given, Pre-
mier Borden, speaking in the hou 70
of commons, asked Sir Wilfred Lau-
rier to cooperate with him in NAM
ing board of selection to choose
local tribunals for exemption from
military service.
Sir Wilfred replied in terms that
are regarded as significant in view
of his opposition to CONSUMPTION and
that of the French Canadians of
Quebec. He said he would agree
to the request of the prime minister,
adding "as the bill is now law it is
the duty of the royal subjects to see
it carried out tremendously.
