I'm not sure whether it refers here to a geographic area or the timing of the call-up. I.e., maybe there was a first batch called up in January, a second in March, etc. 2 The "E s in" typos could just be a problem with the copy used to microfilm, or the process. If not, maybe it's an example of clever bribery at work. E.g., instead of paying the typesetter to risk prison by taking your name off the wanted list, try to persuade him to garble it. *** From the 4 October 1900 issue of the Minsk Vedomosti.
