$50 REWARD
FOR DRAF 7
SLACKERS
U. S. VIII Pay That TO Civilians
g.. for Each Stacker Round
ed Up.

WASHINGTON. Sept. ~ - First
steps toward the apprehension OF ma
tional army slackers were taken yes
terday when the war department au-
thorized the announcement Of reward
of $50 to be paid civilians for the de-
livery of any person liable for military
service to the nearest military freserva-
tion or cantonment camp.
This reward will be paid TO any per-
son not in the military service of the
United States. including all local.
county and state police authorities.
The war department expects to see i'm
mediate results from the offer. since
hundreds of men selected for service
have not answered the call
After "Ptnk-Shee+ Men"
This is the first move in a campaign
that is intended to become nationwide
in the search for the "pink-sheet men,
as the national army slackers are called.
They are termed "pink-sheet men" for
the reason that when they failed to ap-
pear their names were placed on q pink
sheet and they were certified for serv-
ice. Although the complete plan for
the roundup of these men has not been
made. il probably will include opera
tives of the department Of justice as
well as agencies OF the war department
When the complete plan is ready the
police in every city in the nation ana
constables in the rural districts will be
asked to begin a search for the men
who have not answered the call The
search will be systematized possibly
under the direction Of the bureau Of in
yestigation Of the department Of jus
tice. so that an agency may be formed
for receiving addresses Of men who
have left the vicinity in which they
registered and through which informa-
ZION in regard to men who are attempt
ing to evsde service may be used to run
them down
Many Evade Service.
While no estimate Of the number OF
men who have evaded service is avail
able. it is known that the number is
high. especially in the more thickly-
populated cities where the floating
population is large. In the state Of In

The Tragedy of DR.. Muck.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra is one OF the great
est musical organizations in the world, and Dr. Karl
Muck, who has been its conductor ior more than
decade one of the greatest musicians 1t is pity that
his career with the orchestra has ended in tragedy
DR.. Muck is subject of the Kaiser Prussian by
BIRTH and naturally is loyal the land of his nativity
and allegiance In that loyalty every real American
will sympathize with him. Since broke out be-
tween Germany and the United States he has remained
in Boston-perhaps the most bitterly antiGerman city
OF the countrand held the respect of the most exact
ing public of that city. His conduct has been mpeach
able, since he is known of honor as well as
man of art ;, and in a nation at with Germany he
able hold the post of honor with that nations
leading musical body-which is tribute to Americans
as well as to himself signal proof of their generosity
and broadmndedness Can anyone imagine Amer
lean, a Britisher, Frenchman, Russian leading
the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestral Hardly.
Ne are inclined to think that in declining to allow
the Boston orchestra play "The Star Spanged Ban
ner' DR.. Muck made grave mistake He was right
on strictly artistic grounds. But knows better
than he that German orchestra conductor who re-
fused to play German national ar-no matter how
atrocous muscally-would have his official head cut
off in hour. In questions of art and esthetics
are 50 utterly subordinate that DR.. Muck sounded
glaringy falsetto when he raised the art issue
Then came the question: Would he, Ger

The Boston symphony IS American orchestra, de-
spite the fact that twenty-five different naonalities
represented on it. 1t is supported by Americans. 1t

Miss Johnston has woven a thick
and heavy tapestry. Her material
is not merely the way or sex. from
the time when men lived in trees

the relation between the sexes in

handling of so large a subject it
is natural that any roughnesses

The first tales have all the inter-

and the author has obviously drawn
on rich fund of information. But
she has taken larke liberties. too.

The Great Adventurer.

With all its misery and death,
Its battered hills and shattered plains,
With all its drift of poisoned breath,
Its lashing gales, its sodden rains
We know-with all its bleak despair,
With all its phantom exodus,
That omewhere-somewhere Over There
The Great Adventure beckons us.
We know in Flanders bloody sod
How deep they sleep in endless dreams;
We know how many crosses nod
By silent hills and shadowed streams,
But through the ghostly drifts that play
We know, through bugle, fife and drum,
That somewhere Over There today
The Great Adventure whispers Come"
We know the rare thanks we should feel
So far from any foes advance,
Safe from the Shrapnel and the steel
Which rains its fury down on France;
But in Our hearts we also know
The old contents forever gone
Where on some far dreams undertow
The Great Adventure calls us on.
BY all the ghosts of No Mans Land,
Through all its fury flame and flood
On through the anguish each must stand
In wallow-driftS of mud and blood
On through whatever hells NAV wait
With marching feet and rolling drum,
Beyond the final grip of Fate
The Great Adventure whispers "Come!"
