l46 SLACKERS
INWASHINGTON
War Department Has List
Of Those Who Evaded
the Draft.

There are 146 men in Washington
who are rated by the War Department
as "slackers..'
They have failed to respond for their
physical examination for the conscript
army and officially they are rated as
deserters and have been automatically
certified into the army.
Meanwhile the police are looking for
them and they will be arrested and
called before the exemption boards
II apprehended.
One thousand and thirty-one men
have certified for admission to the
national army by the local exemption
boards, nine more than required for
the Districts quota.
When the appellate board completed
Its work yesterday. 1883 men Of those
examined had been exempted or dis
charged and in 80 OF these cases the
provost marshal general will note an
appeal apd have them considered
again.
The number Of delinquents was lag
and 43 filed claims for exemption for
industrial reasons, covered by the law.
Examina tons will continue and while
no definite, orders have been issued
upon the subject, each exemption dis
trict will probably call another 200 per
cent of its full quota as a reserve force.
The appellate board Is trying TO fnd
out the writer of an anonymous let
ter from a correspondent who claims
that the exemption claim OF one reg
istrant has been allowed upon affida-
Wits certifying that he had child
to support as well as a wife. The
letter writer states that the child was
adopted from a founding asylum for
the purpose Of avoiding registration.

might spell the collapse OF the whole
eastern front.
The change in the military sit
uation will. admittedly to a large
degree, affect the DEVELOPMENT of
peace talk. II the allies continue
to attain their objectives, east and
west, the Germans will certainly be
more willing to make concessions.
The allies themselves may arrive
at point where they believe any
further effort at arms would not be
worth the cost.
The Russian situation and the
labor and Socialist sentiment of
the world at large. are other ele-
ments which the administration
will watch closely. The determine
tion OF the Russian government to
grant passports to delegates to the
stockholm conference was viewed
with a good deal Of concern here.
The State Department has not
heard from Ambassador Francis &
Petrograd for twenty-four hours
and is much in the dark as to the
Russian situation.
Unofficial reports OF the restora-
tion Of discipline in the Russian
army and the maintenance of civil
order in the new republic. are
counted most favorable. But there
is always the fear in the adminis-
tration here that Russia may be
carried away with the catchwords
of her new found freedom and be
led to accept a German inspired
peace. through which she and her
allies may have to sacrifice all that
she and they have gained.

The final inquest into the killing

formation said to be contained in the
letters sent to the Baltimore police.
interest continues to grow in the
theory that Snowden is innocent. The
theory advanced would show that
Snowden entered the house while Mrs.
Brandon was in the yard in the rear
and took the dollar bill that was later
reported missing. He left, acting
suspiciously, as witnesses state, and
another man, later in the day, com
mitted the crime.
In support OF the theory officials
yesterday pointed out that the con-
struction OF the three-room home is
such that a view OF the interior OF the
room where the money was lying
from the yard is practically impos-
sible. This fact would have permitted
Snowden to enter the home through
the front door unsen and to ransack
the house.
