Calling Up More Men For Military Service
Special to the "Telegraph"
LONDON, Jan, 29 (UP).—His Majesty, King George at the Privy Council in Buckingham Palace to-day signed a proclama- tion in which men of 18 and 19 years of age and between 37 and 40 inclusive will become liable to military service.
The first register will be for those of 19 years of age which will open on February 2.
The Ministry of Labour states that consideration is being given to the exemption of all medical and dental students. University students are already subject to exemption upon entering a university.
The Ministry said that the schedule of reserved occupations was being amended, exemption depending to on increasing extent upon actual work rather than age and occupation.
Authoritative circles believe that eventually no man will be permitted to do any work a woman can do,
