Date18 January 1916
DescriptionInforms F. J. King Esquire that the only circumstances in which the Society has the power to intervene with the recruiting authorities are: 1) in the case of persons actually engaged in war work and 2) in the case of analytical, consulting or research chemists, who fall under the Reserved Occupations Regulations.
