CANADIAN SLACKERS
HIT BY This RULING

OTTAWA, Nov. 29-The problem of
what to do with Canadians of mill
tary age in the United States is dealt
with in an order in council issued to-
day which has received the sanction
of the Governor General 1t provides
that either country may at any time
by proclamation call for military
service under its own colors any class
of its citizens or subjects residing in
the other country.
Furthermore, it provides that IF
any of the men called out by such
proclamation do not within time,
which shall be limited by such procla-
nation, return voluntarily to the
country of their allegiance for the
purpose of performing teir military
duties there, they shall be subject to
deportation to that country, and that
the laws, tribunals and officials of the
country in which the men so called
are living shall afford all reasonable
sanction and assistance for the pur-
pose of experimenting and compelling
them to return accordingly"
