Looking After Deserters
Notice has been published asking
all men who have been under cover
for the purpose of escaping military
duty to at once report to the nearest
cantonment and give an account of
themselves. Now that the war is over
| it is believed that many who have
thus far evaded the draft will make
their presence known. No intimation
has been given as to the punishment
that will be inflicted. A year or so
in the regular army may be exaeted.
Police Chief Miller of Penn Yam, N.
Y, has received a letter from the
commanding officer at Camp Dodge
offering $50 for the return to Camp

Conscientious Directors Turn Back
Their Money
A number of returned soldiers at
Camp Dodge have been watching the
disposition Of big bunch of conscien-
tious objectors who were sent from
Camp Dodge to Ft. Leavenworth and
made to work for the government.
They refused absolutely to participate
in military duty. After the war closed
these men who had been doing gov.
ernment work were discharged and
they were paid off the same as if do
| ing military service. This created
much feeling and If these men had re,
turned to this camp there would
doubtless have been trouble. But
since these objectors have refused to
accept pay for their work, claiming
that such procedure would have been
as wicked as fighting, in that the mon
ey was from war funds, the. soldiers
have a better opinion of the fellows
About $50 were at Camp Dodge at var.
ious times. They came from Menon..
lite and Dunkard communities and
were really consistent in their objec'
tions, however much such sentiments
| fell below patriotic standards.
