POSITION OF C3 MEN.
ONLY TRADESMEN AND CLERKS BEING CALLED UP
Mr. Macpherson states, in a written answer, that C3 men are at the moment only being called up if they are sufficiently skilled to be employed at manual trades in the Army or sufficiently educated to be employed as clerks; but the need may arise for men of category C3 in other capacities, in which case orders will be issued to call up the number required. No instructions have been issued from the War Office to call up all C3 men, either within this month or within any other specified or unspecified time.
