being pressed to call attention to all
the people Of the need for reading
matter for the soldiers in camp and at
the front. 1t costs so little to send
magazines-just onc-cent stamp for
each. No wrapping, no addressing is
necessary. The thing IS to remember
to do it yourself and to remind your
friends as well. And send the maga-
zines while they are still fresh and
clean.
"1f you want to do something that
will help lot, tell everyone you know
and everyone you don't know to put a

would realize how many dollars worth

CANADIAN DRAFT
LAW WINS IN COURT
Supreme Tribunal Upholds Or
der Abolishing Exemption
for Young Bachelors.

OTTAWA, July le.-Constitutionality 81
the amended military service act. ehol.
ishing certain exemptions, was ,lpheld
by the Supreme Court OF Canada TO-
DAY in dismhsing the application for n
writ OF haoeas corpus made on behalf
OF a drafted man. The appeal division
or the Supreme Court OF Alberta nre
viously had decided the amended law
was Invalid.
The whole fabric OF the Canadian
draft law was involved in the case
and an adverse decision, 1t Is believed,
would have necessitated an extraordi-
nary session of Parliament.
The status OF 10000 men now In
service hinged upon the highest tribu-
| nnrs ruling. Chief Justice Sir Charles
Fitzpatrick and Justices Dun, Davies
and Anslin sustained the legality OF the
Order In Council OF April 90 and Jus
tlces Ellington and Brodear dlssented,
Many OF the conscripted men already
are on their way overseas. but a ma :
jority of them are In Canadian train
Ing camps. The lower courts were be-
sought on behalf OF some OF the
raftees, who tried TO evade service, for
writs OF habeas corpus. A dozen such
men In Sarcee Camp. near Calgary. OBJ
tained the writs. but the military au-
thoritics refused to recognize them or
to surrender the soldiers.
Lieut.. Col, Phil Moore. the COM
mandant to whom the order OF the SUI
preme Court OF Alberta was directed.
was adjudged in contempt and a sheriff
was ordered to bring him into coNt.
Moore's superiors instructed him to re-
s.st. Serious trouble was averted July
IS. when both sides reached a compro-
mise, the army authorities agreeing not
TO send the soldiers overseas until the
Supreme Court OF Canada had passed
upon the case.
The decision establishes the rirht OF
the Government TO suspend the habeas
corpus under the military service act
Under the authority OF tho amended
military service act. established by or
ders In council and approved by reso-
luton OF both houses OF Parliament, the
Government cancelled the exemptions
held by unmarried men between 20 and
20 wears old inclusive.
The validity OF the orders in council
was contested on tho ground they were
unconstitutional, that amendment to the
military service act should have been
made by an act Of Parliament Instead
OF by order In council.
The decision OF the Supreme Court
holds that the orders In council were
valid.
