CALLING UP THE DERBY MEN
A SURPRISE ALL SINGLE MEN TO MUSTER By TolesroDli—Prtso Association—CoKyrigtit London) February 13. The announcement of tlie calling up of the remaining eleven classes of unmarried men came as a surprise, as they expected to be called up in batches at intervals. _ There lias been activity at the War Office in the last few days. It is noteWorthy in this connection that the Army Council has sent new recruiting instructions to Birmingham, pointing out that the calling up of the first four grpups resulted in obtaining only a very small percentage of "possibles," aud that the lists must be revised continually. It is also .believed, but unconfirmed, that the younger married men in the Derby groups have been notified to come forwatd within a month. [The Derby groups consist of 46 all told, 23 for the single men and 23 for the married. The remaining eleven groups, therefore, mean all single men from 30 up to 40 years of age. The first twelve groups comprise single men from 19 to 29 years of age.]'
