The result of the 10th ballot taken under the Military Service Act ) from among members of the First Division of the Expeditionary Force Reserve for tilling vacancies in the 34th and 35th Reinforcements, mobilising one month and two months hence respectively, was issued in the form of a Gazette Extraordinary yesterday. The vacancies have been caused by the failure of voluntary recruiting to produce the number of men required, the shortage for the 3-lths being 1,524, and for the 35ths 2,207. To meet the combined shortage of 3,731 a total of 16,000 men have been called up. The numbers of men drawn in the various ballots to date have been as under: — Ist Ballot, Nov., 1010 4,000 2nd Ballot,’ Decern., 1910 3,000 3rd Ballot, January, 1917 3,000 4th Ballot (double), Feb. 1917 0,807 sth Ballot, March, 1917 4,503 6th Ballot, April, 1917 4,812 7th Ballot, May, 1917 8,530 Bth Ballot, June, 1917 8,545 9th Ballot, June, 1917 8,117 10th Ballot (double), Sept, 15,000 Total 00,374 In the ten ballots that have taken place, 00,974 members of the FirstDivision have thus been called up to fill some 17,000 vacancies in the 23rd to 35th Reinforcements Inclusive. The First Division, which originally comprised 84,980 men, has also been considerably depleted J).v voluntary enlist meat, and at the conclusion of the 10th ballot it was estimated that there were only about 8,000 remaining, who will all be drawn in the lltb ballot to be taken this month.
