SLACKERS ROUNDED UP
By SYSTEMATIC SEARCH

Washington October 2.-The gov
eminent has evolved a complete plan
for rounding up thousands of men
who have evaded military service.
Amazing success is already attending
the efforts. Hundreds of arrests have
been made and the scheme has now
progressed to point where it is
dragging out of hiding places scores
of evaders every day.
The war department and depart
ment of justice are cooperating in
the work. Local police authorities are
assisting. The work has been divided
into two classes. The department of
Justice has been assigned the task of
arresting the men who failed to regis
ter for military service, the war de-
partm ent that of rounding up the men
who registered Were accepted and then
failed to report for entertainment, &C
cording to the orders of the local
boards. The local police in every city
are assisting each department. while
scores OF patriotic societies have inves-
tigators aiding in the work.
1t has been found that the mum Der
wbo- failed to register runs far into
the thousands. These persons, when
apprehended, are subject to trial in
the civil courts. The men who fail
ed to report after having been drafted,
however. will be hailed before court
martial and tried under military law.
