Section 42. If no person appears and answers within the time allowed, the court may at once upon motion of the plaintiff, no reason to the contrary appearing, order a general default to be recorded and the complaint to be taken for confessed. By the description in the notice, “to all whom it may concern”, all the world are made parties defendant and shall be concluded by the default and order.
