Adjutant Generals Depart
ment Acts on Instructions
Under Draft Law-Men
! From All. Parts of Idaho.
If Military Delinquency Is
Shown Not to Be Wilful
Men Will Be Allowed to

Camps.

] Idaho Is mott free from registrants of
military age under the draft law, who
have failed to report for duty when
summoned and over whose heads
hangs a reward of $50 apiece for their
delivery to the nearest recruiting sta
ton, POSTED by the provost marshal.
This is evident from list of 207 names
released for publication by the adiu-
tant generals department of this state.
The men on this list are classified as
deserters. They come under the re-
ward provision as posted by the mill
tary authorities. It is very probable
that when the list has been circulated
it will result In a number of the slack
ers being rounded up and turned over
to the army. 1t is also probable that
some of the men whose names appear
on the list may not have received their
summons. The government. however,
places the burden and responsibility
on each registrant to ascertain his
standing in the selective draft and fail
ure not to receive notice is not con-
sidered plausible excuse
REWARD PAID IN EITHER CASE.
In posting the reward offered for the
delivery over to the military authori-
ties of men who have faded to respond
TO the call, the provost marshal said:
1T is highly desirable from every
standpoint that an effort now be made
TO round up all persons who are de-
lnquent in reporting for military serv-
ice. 1t is thought that if the fact of
coward is given the widest publicity
we shall have great force of police
officers and even of individuals inter-
estcd in bringing such delinquents UNI
der military control.
IF, after such persons are brought
20 Il military authority, it appears TO
the military authority that their delin-
lGcncy is not wilful. they win be for
Nulded to mobilization camp and their
local board will he given credit If
II appears that the delinquency was
wilful they will he prosecuted before
rourtmartial as descrtcrs. In either
ease the reward is payable"
