That this situation is going to be
serious for lot of the boys, who per-
haps have been slackers thru failure
to understand its penalties, can be
seen by perusal of the following in
struction received by the Local Board
this week.
A Reward of $50 to Be Paid for the
Delivery of Deserter ut an Army
Camp or Post.
A reward Of $50 is payable for the
delivery at the nearest Army camp or
post OF deserter. This reward is in
full satisfaction of all expenses in
Cured in said delivery. A person whe
fails to report to his local board for
military service at the time specified
in his order to report is deserter.
A person who fails to report for mih-
tary service to the adjutant general
Of the State by the date specified IN
the order Of the adjutant general %
said persons is deserter. It is high
ly desirable from every standpoint
! that an effort now be made to round
up al persons who arc delinquent IN
reporting for military service. Il ,
4 thouRiit that X the faet. t.Ue.4eU0sdi y
given the widest publicity we shall
have . great force Of police, officers
and even Of private individuals inter
ested in bringing such delinquents
under military control. II, after such
\ persons are brought to q military
authority, it appears to the militay
authority that their delinquency is nd
wilfull they will be forwarded to .
mobilization camp and their local
board will be given credit. II it ap-
pears that the delinquency was willful
they will be prosecuted before courts
martial as deserters. In either case
the reward is payable.
