Tokyo, Nov. 7.
Adoption of a new classification of army conscripts, in order to rationalize the various terms used for the purpose, was announced by the War Office today.
In addition to the sub-classifications "B-1" and "B-2," a "B-3" class was created, the announcement added.
Hereafter, those of perfect physique will go into Class "A" which automatically places the conscript in the regular army. Those coming in the "B-1" Class will also be included in the regular army, while those in "B-2" will be assigned to the first reserve and those in "B-3" to the second reserve.
Those in "C" category will form the militia, while those in "D" will be totally exempted from service.—Domei.
