two persons chosen by the County Council, who must be civilians. This
committee or Board, which is assisted by a physician, does the enrolling, decides in
questions of exemption and postponement, examines into the fitness of the enrolled
for the different branches of the service etc. For every enrolment district, and
Naval register office situated within the same, there is an enrolment-revision,
consisting of the provincial Governor as president and four members, one of
whom is the commander of the enrolment district, and three persons chosen
by the County Council.
This revision assisted by a military and a civil physician, judges
complaints against the decisions of the enrolment committee, selects the conscripts for
the different branches of the service, etc. No appeal can be made against the
decisions of the enrolment revision. During that part of the year which falls
between the meetings of the enrolment- and the revision committees, the
commander of the enrolment district (Naval Enrolment district) performs the duties
of the Enrolment committee for the enrolment of conscripts who have failed to
attend the call, but such decision, however, must be submitted to the
examination of the Enrolment Revision.
The enrolment of the conscripts takes place annually before the beginning
of the drilling exercises in the year they attain the age of 21, and likewise of
the elder conscripts who have been absent from previous enrolments or have
obtained postponement of enrolment. Those liable to military service were, in
1900, as follows: The total of those of age for conscription was 67,528 men;
from these were eliminated 6,427 men; 15,014 were absent, 12,130 exempted,
1,075 obtained postponements, while 32,882 were enrolled for military service.
