 Who read it?' he inquired.
 'Everybody you don't know was the reply.

His trip was not in hvain, however as he found four slackers on the American side of the line, but with a little diplomacy on the part of the American officials, the men crossed the line and were nabbed.
 Deputy Sharpe believes they are well on their way to the front by this time. Two of them claimed ex- emption giving as their reason that they were Swedes. A few questions put in by the Canadian officials re vealed the fact that they had been in the country several years.
