.DESERTERS TO
. Be ARRESTED

There is a federal statute which
gives any citizen the right 10 arrest
a deserter from the armed forces Of
the United States, and to use such
force as is necessary to make the ar
rest and delivery. according to Col.
VI. A Hildreth. United States dis
trct attorney for North Dakota. who
today calls upon the citizens OF the
state TO assist in ferretinS out de-
serters and slackers from military
service.
There are not few men in North
Dakota who by ruse or hook or
crook have evaded the call Of their
draft board. and these are deserters,"
Colonel Hildreth said. Many of
these have been in Canada. The de-
partment of justice cannot locate
them all. and it is the duty of every
law abiding citizen to arrest or cause
them to be arrested"
A reward OF $50 will be paid upon
delivery of any deserter from the
land or sea forces of the United
States to the nearest military COM
mander, Colonel Hildreth said.

The war has come to an end, but
the need OF the army Y. NJ. @. A.
will not end until the last Yank has
come back home across the big
pond. There is need OF every cent
that is being solicited and we in Jo-
sephine county can not fall down on
any call at this stage of the game,
Large gifts are absolutely neces-
sary, and the United States Steel
corporation has just made record
gift OF $1,000. 200 to the combined
agencies. Grants Pass district, which
comprises school district No. I. is
asked to raise $4,000. We did bet.
ter than that on the first Red Gross
drive, and we can do just as well
now as then. There will be no great.
er satisfaction In the years to come
that any Of us can have, than to
know that We also helped.
America is making a glorious re-
cord with its army, and everywhere
the flower OF our young manhood has
spread the principles which have
made 1t known as "the cleanest
army in the world" Keep II so by

GREAT AIR SERVICE

America will become within reach
OF England in day and u half and
the time will come when an Eng
lishman in New York will see his
London paper the morning after It's
publication" said Handley Page tho
airplane constructor, recently.
He prophesled that Immediately
on the declaration OF peace It would
be possible to begin an air service
between Marseillcs and London with
a single stop at Paris for an overhaul
and taking in gasoline. Mr.. Page
continued:
"Constantlnopie could bo reached
In 20 hours. Rome In i2M hours
and Marsoilles In eight" he said.
AN 500 mile service could be
run at profit. both for mails and
passengers. at rate but little in
excess OF that ut present in force,
~ base my calculations on the
use OF medlum-sized machine max
Ing nonstop flights OF 400 miles,
Each would carry 400 pounds OF
revenue-earnlng load. There would
be fIrst-class aerodromes at each end
OF the route. and another in the mid
die. Second-class aerodromes would
be provided every 100 miles"
