Can't Get Drunk to Slack;
Dishonorable Discharge
Not Given, Says Crowder

somewhere in the United States
a lawyer of the well-known "Phil-
adelphia" variety has been closely
scanning the army laws. From
word reaching the War Department
the word spread that slackers who
failed in their efforts to escape
the draft could evade military
service by showing up in camp in
an intoxicated condition.
Under the army rules. it was dis
covered. such cases usually drew
sentences of a few weeks in the
guard-house and dishonorable dis
charge from the army.
Judge Advocate Gen. Crowder
breathed a frost on such fond
schemes yesterday afternoon. lie
made 1t known that such a dis
graceful plan would "be dealt with
severely and would not necessar-
lily entail dishonorable discharge"

DRAFT TO STAY
Until Spring
Conscript Army Can't Be
Moved Over There"
Until April.

Plans are now in preparation at the
war Department, according to infor-
nation obtained yesterday. to have a
large proportion of the drafted men
now entering training camps in
France by early spring.
II Is proposed to give the men the
rudiments of military knowledge and
then to transport them to the Amer
lean base in France, where they will
be put through a course of intensive
training.
The second draft call will be made
much sooner than has generally been
believed, 1t is intimated, and this is
largely the reason why the War De-
partment is so much interested at
present in proceeding with the i'm
mediate examination of the 1000 900
registered men who have not vet been
called.
This proposition is temporarily tied,
up by the fact that an approximation
is necessary before the work can
proceed.
VIII he In France by April.
Figures are taboo with the War De.
pertinent these days, but it Is no vio-
lation of the spirit or letter of tn.
provisions to state that II
is planned to move approximately
5000 to 100000 Of the drafted men to
France to complete their training
there. 1t is believed in some quarters
that this can be done by the end Of
April.
These troops would not be available
for trench work until late in the sum-
mer at the earliest. but they would
be in France and the political effect
OF their numbers would be great. The
is not so much the trans
porting or the men themselves, as
maintaining them overseas. Expert
estimates place the ratio at 20 tons
OF shipping to maintain one man.
Inc trans-ocean movement Of
troops Is slower than Is generally be-
lleVed. Even the movement of men
to camps is on a slow schedule.
Where there was talk ONLY a few
weeks ago of 5000 men in France nv
spring, the prospects now are that
me active fighting forces-regulars and
National Guard-wiil be nearer 300. OCO.
