What the U. S. Says.

The department of Justice, In its let
ter to its chiefs, has this to say abou
the search for slackers.
1T is of vital importance to the
government that those who have
escaped detection and prosecution
under the conscription act be ap-
pretended, registered and prose
cuted. To that end, the Eepart-
ment of Justice desires proEpt,
thorough and country wide search
for these persons, followed by
vigorous criminal prosecution Of
all those who are apprehended.
Although the draft has been made,
those persons who are found and
registered will not escape the
selective draft by reason of their
delay The local exemption boards
have Instructions to register such
persons and they will be liable for
selection under the draft of July
Goth, 1917, Just as If they had reg
istered prior to that date. The
discovery and registration of all
persons subject to the conscrip-
tion act is of great Importance to
the raising of the army. aside
from the criminal aspect Of the
case"
Thus, it will be seen that not onl,
will the Stacker be brought under th
workings of the draft. but he will ais
be subjected to a rigorous crimna
prosecution. Officers of the law ar
instructed TO notify Supt. II. &. Cla
baueh of the department of Justice, o
the district attorney or u. S. marsha
in the event that any slackers ar
nabbed.
