It is evident from the numerous enquiries that are reaching the office of the Recruiting Board that a great number of men of military age are not at all clear as to their position in connection with the enrolment of the Expeditionary Force reserve under the 'M I Miy Service Act. In particular the importance of applying for certificate of enrolment does not appear to be appieeiatedi *i« it should be. The Act'make the National Register the basis ol Expeditionary Force reserve and only directs men who have not registered under the National Registration Act to forward an enrolment card under the Military Service Act- to the Government Statistician. The point, however, has been raised by many men who daily torward their personal schedule under _the National Registration Act that they'received not acknowledgment from the Government Statistician and therefore have no guarantee that fiiev are enrolled. This has caused; .recruiting comjnittees throughout the Dominion to publicly display the local rolls issued ill connection with the board's .recruiting scheme so that mi'" of mlitary age may inspect them and ascertain if they are registered. But the board wishes to emphasize the fact that the absence ol a name docs not necessiu'i ils mean tlnu a man is not registered, and thai the liliesi and best'method to veiny registration is for every man whether he ■belongs to the Eirst Division o.r to tlie Second, Division of tlie Reserve to forward ail application for a certificate ot enrolment on the form that is obtainable at every post office. It his personal schedule has failed to reach the Government Statistician, and his name does not appear on the National Register he wll be promptly advised to that effect and asked to M in an enrolment card undier the Military Service Act- A man who sent in his schedule and finds that Ins name does not appear 'on the local roll for Ins district should not forward another card until he is advised! by the Government Statistician on recoipt of his application for a 'certificate of enrolment that it is necessary to do so, otherwise there is always a danger that his name may appear* twice on the roll of the reserve, and thus double his chance in the ballot. It is necessary for men who forward wn enrolment card to apply a the same time for a certificate of enrolment. Although the Act imposes no dutv with respect to these certificates of enrolmen it is absolutely imperative that each reservist, whether of the first or second division, should for Ins own protection have one always in his possession This certificate ;is proof of enrolment and is tlie only metliorll by which an employer can be satisfied tha the men of military age in Ins or her emplov are enrolled on the reserve. On • this point evey employer must be satis fled or risk the heavy penalties imposed hv the Act, The production of the certificate will also satisfy any constable who accosts la man who may reasonably • be supposed to be of military age. The value of the certificate of enrolment* should: therefore be obvious. * "W. F. (MASSET. Chairman.
