''DESERTERS"
FOUND TO Be
IN ARMY NOW

When the 18th engineers
sailed for France, few days
ago. aboard one Of the big
transports were Byron e. Sher.
beck, OF Redmond, and w. Ben.
Jamln Sllllman, OF Bellevue.
While they were on the At
lantic, King county board No.
2 Issued the list OF "deserters"
men who had failed TO APP
pear for physical essmlns-
tlons. These lists were printed
In the newspapers.
These two engineers. now prob
ably I'm France. were among them,
Sherbeck's father appeared be
fore the board with his sons notice
20 appear for examination, and was
told that the enlistment cleared the
boy OF any possible charges.
Not Desertcrs
Sllliman'H mother has been given
a written statement clearing her
son.
They are not deserters or slack
ers. but soldiers already in the
service OF their country.
II is believed that many Others
listed as 'descrters' will eventn
ally be found to have enlisted in
some branch OF the service before
receiving calls for examination.
The district board of appeals has
been grinding out cases daily in
the Public Safety building.
Much OF their time is being taken
In deciding agricultural cases
whore men claim exemption on the
ground that their labors are neces'
sary TO the country in order 10 pro
duce food.
Discharge on agricultural appeals
was granted. with orders TO report
