DRAFT RES|STERS
FACE CHARGES

The following telegram from the
provost marshal general TO the gov.
ernor is brought TO the attention OF
the local exemption boards by the
adjutant generals office:
"A reward OF fifty ($5O) dollars is
payable for the delivery at the near
est army camp or post OF deserter.
This reward is in full satisfaction OF
all expense incurred in said delivery.
"A person who fails TO report to
his local board for military service
at the time specified in his order TO
report is a deserter.
"A person who fails TO report for
military service to the adjutant gen.
eral of the state by the date specified
in the order of the adjutant general
TO said person is a deserter.
1T is highly desirable from every
standpoint that an effort now he
made to round up all persons who
are delinquent in reporting for mill.
tary service. 1t is thought that if the
fact of reward is given the widest
publicity we shall have great
force of police officers and even of
individuals interested in bringing
such delinquents under military
control. If after such persons are
brought to a military authority it ap.
pears to the military authorities tnat
their delinquency is not willful they
will be forwarded to mobilization
camp and their local boards will be
given credit. If it appears that the
delinquency was willful they will be
prosecuted before court martial as
deserters. In either case the re-
ward is payable"
Adjutant General Sullivan is en-
deavoring to induce the government
TO increase the $50 reward, owing TO
the long distances necessary to
travel in this state and attendant high
transportation costs, or TO establish
receiving stations within the state,
where delivery of deserters may be
made.

| show results. The community has
been moved to action an dincidentally
TO new sense of its responsibility In
this and other equally important mat
ters.
Not alone in defense of civic pride
but also In response TO humanity's
claim must Elko address itself more
seriously TO the adequate financial
support OF its Red Cross chapter. Our
obligations to the starving millions OF
Armenia are not less urgent; and
numerous other claims pertinent TO
national and international stock de
mand our undivided attention.
II may be that some OF the citizens
of Elko wonder why they got off so
easily in listening to DR.. Aked. Their
time Is coming. For the present let
them and all others take notice that
the committee named on Tuesday OF
last week TO care for the interests OF
Armenian relief is working At a meet

dress itself to the city council asking
that a general community committee
TO handle all war relief be appointed: {:
and that all war relief funds be col.
lected and distributed to the various
organizations by this committee"
II was the sense OF the meeting
that funds needed for the local chap.
ter OF the Red Cross, now urgently
needed. should be provided in this way
and that all other claims that ma!
appeal to the community be presented
to this proposed communities and the
necessary money be raised i'll toto by
them and apportioncd as the various
agencies concerned may demand.
II was also the sense of the meeting
that this committee. II appointed.
should address itself to the raising of
not less than 100000 per month for
all war relief purposes. This Is no
less than Elko could and should do,
IL every citizen were to do their part
Loyalty.
Judge Tabcr. Mr.. John Henderson
and Mr.. Geo. c. Jensen were author.
lied to go before the city council with
this plan and urge the appointment Of
the community committee.
In the interests of true democracy
and on behalf of the suffering subjects
of war IL Is hoped that this suggestion
will Immediately materilizc and tia,
Elko will do its part nobly.
