§ Captain CHARLES BATHURSTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in the canvassing for military service of those whose names appear on the pink forms, any exception will be made, 1806W as it is in Russia, in the case of the only son of a poor widow who is wholly dependent upon him for her maintenance?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe details of the scheme are now being worked out. The case of the only son of the poor widow was dealt with in a public statement made yesterday by the Director-General of Recruiting, and I have nothing at present to add to what was then said.
