There would be 1e" descfnons II the men
believed that concealment was Impossible,
and return certain But the whole rank
and file Of the army know full well that
the War Department makes but little effort
for the reclamation Of deserters, and that
the vast majority Of them are not sent
back, or punished in any way. The Presi-
dent has called for 100000 men. Nearly
one-tbiFd Of this number might be procured
by ysending back to duty the $4,000 desefters
sRulking through the country. If these
men were promptly returned to duty, they
would raakc 50 great a reinforcement to
the army as 70 enaple IL 10 move On The
