REWARD FOR
ARMY DESERTERS

on the bullentin board in the post
Office one frequently sees a proclama-
tion announcing in large type that
reward of $50 is offered by the Gov
ernment for the apprehension of So
and-so who has deserted from the
United States army. and accompany
ing the notice are two pictures of the
man in question. showing his full face
and profile. together with a complete
and accurate description of his per-
sonal appearance. When you consid-
er that such proclamation is sent
broadcast throughout the country to
every village post office. constable,
police station, sheriff and United
States marshal. il is evident that the
deserter has a very slender chance of
escaping detection.
In addition to the ordinary marks
of recognition the soldier carries with
him the inevitable mannerisms OF the
service, especially that peculiar stride
which characterizes the profession ne
has followed, and which is more diff
ficult to disguise than the lockstep Of
the convict. Fully four-fiths of the
men who desert from our army are
of foreign birth. This does not imply
that the vast majority OF enlisted men
are naturalized citizens, but simply
that a great many of that class are
professional army deserters and have
bad records behind them in Europe.
After deserting from foreign army
they came here and being unable to
secure work. Joined our forces. But
the old dissatisfaction with the soldier
ing life again became too strong to
be resisted, and the result is another
desertion. and the almost certain re-
suit, term in the guardhouse or in
the national prison.
