shares of the Salmson Company as a
gift, and with having sold them later
for more than 100000 francs. The
document includes an affidavit from
General Bernard, director Of Aeronau-
tics IN the Ministry of War, who testi-
fed that Senator Humbert often tried
to persuade him to order the Salmson
motors for the French army.
The French authorities already have
under way an investigation of another
case concerning Senator Humbert 1t

WASHINGTON, Feb. Preliminary
to a nationwide search for slackers
who evaded the draft, members Of the
provost marshal generals Office and
investigators of the Department of
Justice are classifying all draft dodg-
ers who failed to respond when sum-
moned for service in the army
Thousands of draftees are classified
as deserters from the army by reason
Of the fact that they acknowledged re-
ceipt Of their summons from local
boards, but failed TO respond on the
date ordered to report for duty. The
authority exists with the War Depart
ment to arprehend these men and to
bring court martial proceedings against
them.
The work of classifying delinquents
IS made necessary because many men
now marked delinquent have been
found 10 have been actually in the
service Through voluntary enlistment
The men who wilfully evaded service
are the ones that Federal authorities
are anxious to apprehend
One OF the proposed plans of round
ing up the slackers is to post in
conspicuous place in every town the
names of men who failed to RESPOND
10 the call of their local boards. 'Thi.
public notice of condemnation will hav,
the effect, il is believed, of maxim,
every man who failed for good reason
to obey the draft summons to hastel
TO his local board and have his recor,
cleared. It also will aid in finall,
rounding up others for any penalty

One-Mdn Cars Prove

nNE-MAN streetcars had their
~ try-out in New York yester-
day and worked we'll. Three of
the ears were in service all day
on the Third Avenue line, Brook
lyn, between Sixty-sixth Street
and Fort Hamilton. They will be
on the same run to-day, when
they probably will be inspected
by Lindley NJ. Garrison, receiver
for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company.
Each car has a seating capac-
ity Of thirty-fve. There is a coin
box beside the motorman. He
makes change, operates the doors
and drives the car. The doors
cannot be opened until the car
has stopped, nor can the car start
while they are open.
Edward Gilchrist, superintend-
ent OF the DIVISION, declared the
new cars might not do for the
rush hour, but at normal times
no fault was to be found with
them. The motormen agreed
with Mr.. Gilchrist. They are re-
ceiving extra pay, amounting to
about half their regular wages,
for operating the one-man cars.
