ALL WHO HAVE
NOT REPORTED
ARE DESERTERS
UNDER INSTRUCTIONS FROM
ATTORNEY GENERAL, THOSE
SUMMONED AND WHO DO NOT
SHOW UP SO CLASSED.

Under instructions just issued by
| the attorney-general, all men who
have been summoned for military
service and have not reported, become
| deserters from the army, and are to
| be tried before court martial. in
stead of before the federal courts.
though federal officers are instruct
ed to apprehend them. In order to
create interest in discovering desert
ers a reward of fifty dollars is of
fered to any person who delivers a
deserter to the authorities.
Deserters, as defined in the order
Just issued. include those persons
duly certified for military service and
ordered by the local board or the ad-
Jutant general of the state to report
on certain date for duty, and have
failed to present themselves at the
time and place designated. "Con-
scripts" says the new order "aIleged
to be deserters are of two classes !:
those who submitted to physical ex-
aminations and who failed to report
at the time and place designated by
the local board, and those who failed
to submit to physical examination,
were certified through the district
board to the adjutant-general of the
state, and were ordered by him to re-
port within five days after the mail
ing of the notice. The question of
culpability in either of these cases is
for the military authorities to de-
termine.
It$was the original intention of the
war department to accept deserters
only at the regular army posts. De-
serters may now be delivered how
ever, at any regular army post. ma
tional army cantonment, national
guard training camp or generally any
army station having facilities to
care for them. The several depart
ment commanders have been instruct
ed to notify the United States marsh
ais of the places at which deserters
could be delivered.
Officers empowered to arrest de-
serters are concerned, under the new
orders, only with the failure of the
men to report for physical examina-
ton or service, regardless of whether
he actually received notice to report
or whether he intended to evade mil
itary service. With respect to this
matter the war department tele-
graphed the Divis: on Commanders on
Sept. 28th, as follows:
reference drafted men who have
failed to report for military duty. 1t
is believed that many of these men do
not realize that they are deserters and
that if the offense is properly ex-
planned to them they will be willing
to serve as ordered.
"Direct post, station. camp, or 9TH
er commanders under your command
to whom these drafted men be sur
rendered or delivered to question per-
sonally such men with a view of dis
covering their real intent and that all
who wish a chance to serve as or
dered be not tried for desertion. but
be given an opportunity to serve and
be sent at government expense to
their proper national army canton
ment. Hold in confinement all men
who will not serve and are deserters,'

ited the county Jail on some matters
In connection with the meeting. and
met Sheriff Van Pelt in the Iatter,s
office. A few words were passed
between them, which witnesses do mod
quite agree on, and a short argument
followed. Suddenly the sheriff, with

stated that he was unable to leave

butable to the blow from the sheriff.
Commissioner Soderlind said that
he was charged by the sheriff with
caucusing against him." and when he
sought to defend himself against such
charge, the sheriff slapped him.
There were two deputies and the
building superintendent present. and

did not attempt to strike back. He
said that if he was able, ne would go
to the county judges office this
morning and make an affidavit
against Jas. c. Van Pelt, charging
him with assault and battery.
The sheriff was not located last
night, and his side of the controversy
could not be obtained.
WHAT 1T WAS ABOUT.
The trouble is said to have been an
aftermath of action which developed
at an earlier meeting of the board Of
county commissioners when the COM
missioner who figured in the little
difference introduced and spoke on a
resolution providing for an account
ing of all confiscated liquors which
had been stored in the county Jail
building. Another resolution pro-
vided for the leasing of county fe-
male prisoners, and the commissioners
also had something to say about the
second resolution, but is said to have
cast no aspersions on the sheriff in
either talk in support of his resolu
tions.
After the meeting. it was stated
Commissioner Soderlind went to the
county Jail for the purpose of getting
some data on number of prisoners
who might be avSilable for the intend
ed leasing program. He reached the
office, as stated, when he met the
sheriff, the latter having but few
hours returned from long trip from

Washington, Oct. 15.-Admiral
Mayo, commander of the Atlantic
fleet, who returned last week from
conferences in England with Vice
Armiral Sims and officials of the
British admiralty, will confer again
with Secretary Daniels and the navy
general board. Until today news
paper correspondents here have been
under request by Secretary Daniels
not to disclose that conferences were
going on. The request has not been
generally acceded to.
Secretary Daniels said today that
published accounts of his conferences
with the admiral, purporting to state
what was being discussed or indicate
plans that were being laid, "would
do credit to Baron Munchausen."
The secretary would only say re-
garding the second conference that
there were ''many big problems" in
volved in the navy's part of the war,
that would be talked over in the light
of Admiral Mayo's personal observa-
tions abroad.
The chief function of the general
board, which is composed of high of
ficers who have had much sea service,
is fix the military characteristics of
fighting ships and recommend the
building program from year to year.
1t is also important, however, as a
planning section of ...e navy. al

for the preparation Of war plans: In

policy which are submitted to the

WAR AND NAVY DEPARTMENTS
AROUSED OVER BREACHES OF
VOLUNTARY CENSORSHIP BY
CERTAIN NEWSPAPERS.
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS


Washington, Oct. 15.-Aroused by
publication, in some parts of the
country, of private cablegrams an
nouncing arrival of American troops
in France. the war and navy depart
ments today took steps to prevent a
repetition of the incidents which may
result in the court martial of the Of
ficers who sent the messages. In one
case former national guard officer
wired his governor of the arrival of
the states troops, but SO far as is
known here, newspapers in that To-
cality observed the governments vol
untary censorship request and did not
print the cable.
In the other case, however, a for
mer national guard officer tele-
graphed the governor of his state of
the arrival of his regiment with a re-
quest that it be given fullest pub
licity. The governors office gave out
the cablegram and many papers in
that state printed the news. This
morning other newspapers published
the dispatch and added the number
and designation of the regiment all
in violation of the voluntary censor
ship.
The war department has most urg-
emily requested that nothing what
ever be printed about arrivals of
troops abroad, promising at the same
time to report promptly any casualty:
Friends who know troops have sailed
and hear nothing further may assume
they have arrived safely.
Steps probably will be taken to pre-
vent the sending of similar messages
from the other side, and to prevent
their delivery if necessary should
they get through by mistake: All
troops abroad now are under the fed
eral government and are no longer
under state control. By reason of
this fact the government can exercise
what the war department regards as
a necessary censorship over news OF
their movements.
