According to an interpretation given by a leading military medical csuthority, the physical examit'rttions under the. Military Service Act are to be divided into live distinct closes and various grades. New physical exentination tests are le operation at Ottawa' as oonspared with those used under the voluntary enlistment system. They are five grades alphebitically cumbered. Under Class "A", which contains four classes, the recruit is liable fpr conbatant service overseas. A classi- fication in "B" grade also renders the recruit t liable for overseas service, though in a non-combatant capacity In the classes "A" and "13" there are seven grades. .According to the opinion of an authority in the Militia Department the "A. 13." (Army Exemption) but- ton will not necessarily furnish grounds for exemption, though the holders of such may apply. • le Misunderstanding. Considerable misunderstanding has arisen of late regarding the status of the "button" man.
