quest was, that his Ford car be buried

was. but failed. so he asked the gen.

Army of 5000 Kansas Officials
Participate in Hunt.
Roundup Nearing End; Nearly
All Are Run Down.

Hunt Three in Western County
Under DesertiOn Charge.

Kansas City. Kan, Sept. 19.-The
Stacker" round up in Kansas, in
which an army of 5000 officials took
part, is nearing an end. More than
forty are now under arrest awaiting
the federal grand jury next October.
So thoro has been the hunt that as
many as six reports of individual
workers have come in on one
Stacker"
The plan was devised by Fred Rob-
ertson, United States attorney for
Kansas, who sent out letters to police,
county authorities numerous mer-
asking them to keep a close lookout
for any person who failed to register.
Besides locating most of the slack
ers'' the result has been that hundreds
of letters reporting citizens who are
believed to be in sympathy with Ger
many, have been received. Virtually
all of these reports, however, show
after a careful investigation that few
are actually in sympathy with the Ger
man cause.
Citizens Help in Hunt.
From the way reports are coming
in" Mr.. Robertson said, Il am con-
vinced that those who refused to reg
lister are very few in the state. There
seems to be a concerted effort on the
part of nearly all of the citizens to
aid in this hunt. Some counties have
been gone over with a fine tooth
comb in the search for slackers."
Federal authorities of Kansas have
been asked to locate three men from
a county in the western part of the
state who failed to appear before the
local exemption board for examination
and who now are classed as deserters
from the army. Penalty for this Of
feQSe is severe.
