GEORGE the FIFTH, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions be-
yond the Seas, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.
To all to whom these presents shall come, or whom the same may in anywise
concern—GREETING :
A Proclamation calling out the men comprised in Class 1 as described by the
Military Service Act, 1917.
lit
WHEREAS itis litia
vided by ourt Militia
Act of Canada, Re-
vised Statutes of Canada,1906,
chapter 41; Section 69, that
our Governor-General of Can-
ada in Council may place our
The Deputy Minister of justice; Militia of Canada, or any part
Canada ,I thereof, on active service any-
where in Canada, and also be-
yond Canada for the defence thereof, at any time when it appeara
advisable so to do by reason of emergency;
And Whereas that part of our militia of Canada known
as the Canadian Expeditionary Force is
now engaged in active service overseas for the defence and security of
Canada, the preservation of our Empire and of human liberty ; and
it is necessary owing to the emergencies of the war to provide re-
enforcemente for our said Expeditionary Force in addition to those
whose inclination or eircumetanccs have permitted them to'volun-
teer ;
And Whereas by reason of the large number of men who
have already left agricultural and indus-
trial pursuits in our Dominion of Canada in order to join our Expedia
tionary Force as volunteers, and by reason of the necessity of main-
taining under these conditions the productiveness or output of agri-
culture and industry in our said Dominion, we have determined by
and with the advice and consent of our Senate and House of Com-
mons of Canada that it is expedient to secure the men so required;
not by ballot as provided by our said Militia Act, but by selective
draft ; such re -enforcement, under the provisions of the Military
Service Act, 1917, hereinafter referred to, not to exceed one hundred
thousand men ;
And Whereas it is accordingly enacted in and by the
provisions of an Act of our Parliament of
Canada, holden in the 7th and 8th years of our reign, and known
as the Military Service Act, 1917, that every one of our male subjects
who comes within one of the classes described and intended by the
said Act shall be liable to be called out on active service in our
Canadian Expeditionary Force for the defence of Canada, either
within or beyond Canada; and (that his service shall be for the
duration of the present war and demobilization after the conclusion
of the war ;
And Whereas the paten who are, under the provisions of
the said last • mentioned Aet, liable to be
called out, arc comprised in six classes of which Class 1 is, by the
provisions of the said Act, defined to consist of all our male subjects;
ordinarily, or at any time since the 4th day of August, 1914, resident
in Canada, wlio have attained the age of twenty years, who were born
not earlier than the year 1883, and were on the 6th day of July, 1917;
unmarried, or arc widowers but have no child, and who are not within
any of the following enumerated
EXCEPTIONS: -
1. Members of our regular, or reserve, or auxiliary forces, as defined
by our Army Act.
2. Members of our military forces raised by the Governments of
any of our other dominions or by our Government of India.
3. Men serving in our Royal Navy, or in our Royal Marines, or ill
-.our Naval Service of Canada, and members of our Canadian
Expeditionary Force.
4. Men who have since August 4th; 1914, served in our Military
or Naval Forces, or in those of our allies, in any theatre of actual
war, and have been honourably discharged therefrom. •
5. Clergy, including members of any recognized order of an exclu-
sively religious character, and ministers of all religious denomina-
tions existing in Canada at the date of the passing of our said
Military Service Act.
®. Those persons exempted from military service by Order in
Council of August 13th, 1873, and by Circler in Council of Decem-
ber 6th; 1898 ;
And Whereas it is moreover provided by our said Military
Service Act that our Governor-General of
Canada in Council may from time to time by proclamation call out
on active service as aforesaid any class of men in the said Act described;
and that all men within the class so called out shall, from the date
of such proclamation, be deemed to be soldiers enlisted in the military
service of Canada and subject to military law, save as in the said
Act otherwise provided ; and that the men so called out shall report
and shall be placed on active service in the Canadian Expeditionary
Force as may be set out in such proclamation or in regulations ; but
that they shall, until so placed on active acrvice; be deemed to be
an leave of absence without pay ;
And Whereas it is also provided by the said Act that at
any time before a date to be fixed by
proclamation an application may be made, by or in respect of any
man in the class to be called out, to one of our local tribunals;
established in the manner provided by the said Act in the province in
which such man ordinarily resides, for a certificate of exemption
from service upon any of the following
,1
GROUNDS OF EXEMPTION
(a) That it is expedient in the national interest that the man should;
instead of being employed in military service, be engaged in other
work in which he is habitually engaged ;
(b) That Itis expedient in the national interest that the man should;
,. ' instead of being employed in military service, be engaged in other
work in which he wishes to be engaged and for which he has
special qualifications ;
(o) That it is expedient in the national Interest that, instead of
being employed in military service, he should continue to be
educated or trained for any work for which be is then being
educated or trained ; - -
(dT) That serious hardship would ensue, if the man were placed oe
active service, owing to his exceptional financial or husincas
obligations or domestic position ;
(o) ill health or infirmity ;
(f) Tim& he conscientiously objects to the undertaking of combatant
service, midis prohibited from so doing by the tenets and articles
of falth in effect on the sixth day of July, 1917, of any organized
religious denomination existing and well recognized in Canada at
such date, and to which he in good faith belongs ;
, And that if any of the grounds of such application be established;
8 certificate of exemption shall he granted to such man,
And Whereas moreover it is enacted in and by the pro-
visions of an Act of our Parliament of
Canada holden in the 7th and 8th years of our reign and known as
the War Time Elections Act that certain persons thereby disqualified
from voting with such of their sons as on polling day are not of legal
age, shall be exempt from combatant military and naval service ;
And Whereas it is further provided by our said Military
Service Act that applications for'exemption
from service shall be determined by our said local tribunals; subject
to appeal as in the said Act provided, and that any man; by or in
respect of whom an application for exemption from service is made;
shall; so long as such application or any appeal in connection there-
with is pending, and during the currency of any exemption granted
him, be deemed to be on leave of absence without pay ;
And Whereas our Governor-General of Canada in Council
has determined to call out upon active
service as aforesaid the men included in Class 1; as in the said Act
and hereinbefore defined or described ;
Now Therefore Know Ye that we do hereby call
out the said Class 1;
comprising the men in our said Military Service Act, 1917; and
hereinbefore defined or described as to the said class belonging, on
active service in our Canadian Expeditionary Force for the defence
of Canada, either within or beyond Canada, as we may, in the
command or direction of our Military Forces, hereafter order or
direct.
And we do hereby strictly command, require and enjoin that each
man who is a member of the said class ahatl,'on or before the 10th day
of November, 1917, in the prescribed form and manner, report himself
for military service, unless application for his exemption shall then
have been made by him or by another person entitled to apply on his
behalf ; wherein our loving subjects, members of the said class, are
especially charged not to fail since not only do their loyalty and.
allegiancerequire and impose the obligation of careful and implicit
obedience to these our strict commands and injunctions, but more-
over, lest our loving subjects should be ignorant of the consequences
which wilt ensue if they fail to report within the time limited as afore-
said, we do hereby forewarn and admonish them that any one who is.
hereby called out, and who without reasonable excuse fails to report
as aforesaid, shall thereby commit an offence, for which he shall be
liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for any term not
exceeding five years with hard labour, and he shall nevertheless, if we
eo require, be compelled to serve immediately in our said Expeditionary
Force
And we do hereby proclaim and announce that for the greater
convenience of our subjects, we have directed that prescribed forms,
for reporting for service, and for application for exemption from serv-
ice, may; at any time on or before the said 10th day of November;
1917, be obtained at any post office in our Dominion of Canada; and
that reports for service and applications for exemption from service;
if obtained at any of our said post offices and properly executed, shall
be forwarded by our postmaster at the post office front which the same
art obtained to their proper destinations as by our regulations pre-
scribed, free of postage or any other charge.
And we do further inform and notify our loving subjects that local'
tribunals have been established in convenient localities throughout
our Dominion of Canada for the hearing of applications for exemption
from service upon any of the statutory grounds, as hereinbefore set
out; that these our local tribunals so established will begin to sit in
the discharge of their duties on the 8th day of November, 1917, and
that they will continue to sit from day to day thereafter, as may be
necessary or convenient, at such times and places as shall be duly
notified, until all applications for exemption front acrvice shall have
been heard and disposed of; also that men belonging to the class
hereby called out who have not previously to the said 8th day of
November, 1917, reported for service, or ,forwarded applications for
exemption through any of our post offices as aforesaid, may make
applications in person for exemption from service to any of our said
tribunals on the 8tli, 9th or 10th day of November, 1917.
And we do hereby moreover notify and inform our loving subjects
who are within the class hereby called out, that if, on or before the
10th day of November, 1917; they report themselves for military
service, or if, on or before that day; application for exemption from
service be made by them or on their behalf, they will not be required
to report for duty, or be placed upon active service asaforesaid, until
a day, not earlier than the 10th day of December, 1917, which will;
by our registrar for the province in which they reported or applied;
be notified to them in writing by registered post at their respective
addresses as given in their reports for service, or applications for ex-
emption front service, or at such substituted addresses as they may
have respectively signified to our said registrar; and we do hereby
inform, forewarn and admonish the men belonging to the class hereby
called out that if any of them shall, without just and sufficient cause,
fail to report for duty at the time and place required by notice in
writing so posted, or shall fail to report for duty as otherwise
by law required, he shall be subject to the procedure, pains and
penalties by law prescribed as against military deserters.
Of all of which our loving subjects, and all others whom these
presents may concern, are hereby required to take notice, rendering
strict obedience to and compliance with all these our commands,
directions and requirements, and governing themselves accordingly.
