London, Feb. 14.--(2 P. M.).--An official proclamation, calling up the remaining single men under the Derby plan and the military service, was posted today.
The call to colors will have the effect of enrolling all single men of military age who have not been exempted.
Single men who did not attest under the Earl of Derby's plan are subject to compulsory military service with certain classes of exemptions under the terms of the act passed at the last session of Parliament, which went into effect on Feb. 10. A London despatch of Saturday, forecasting today's call, said the unexpectedly speedy summons might be attributed to the many recent consultations between the minister of munitions and the war office.
