DESERTERS' NAMES
WILL BE PUBLISHED

WILL DE ~ bbIS1ED
Washington, Dec. 27.-Draft de-
serters whose fears have been lulled
to rest by more than two years of
security from prosecution are about
to receive an unpleasant surprise, for
the names of 1921 of them are
shortly to be published in their "home
town" sections as a preliminary step
to bringing them to speedy trial,
the war department announced today.
Publication of names in local news
papers is expected to aid materially
in apprehending offenders, as it is be-
lieved that most persons knowing the
whereabouts of draft deserter will
be. only too willing to volunteer the
information. Much aid is also antici-
pated from members Of the American
legion, which has consistently urged
the department to take action against
draft delinquents.
The greatest care will be exercised
in making up the list of deserters,
lest the names of innocent men be
included, department officials stated
Already 1854 men have been found
to have been improperly reported as
deserters by state adjutants general
and local draft boards.
These errors were rectified by the
adjutant generals department, which
has just completed examination of
the records Of 489,003 registrants re-
ported as deserters.
The lists are carefully checked
against the records Of men who
served in the army, navy and marine
corps during the war, in order to
eliminate the names of men who &C.
tually rendered service, but over
looked the formality of notifying the
local draft boards.
The department announcement de-
fines "wilful draft deserters" as men
who registered under the. provisions
of the selective service law, but fail
ed to report for military duty at ths
time and place specified. Under the
law they are held to have been in,
Quoted into service from the date or
which they were ordered to report
and since they have never been dis
che rged, are still under military
jurisdiction, and liable to trial by
general court martial for desertion.

Literary Digest Poll Gives General Big Plurality, With Johnson

New York, May I5.-The Literary Digest for today gave Leonard Wood lead as the popular choice for Presi- dent, as expressed in a poll of more than l million votes. More than 10 per cent of the II million who were asked to express their choice. responded and replies represent a fair average. The table shows 14S,124 Democrats to be in favor of Republican presidential candi- dates.
 South Atlantic states give 2l.327 votes to the Democratic candidates. and 2f,Ss4 to the Republicans. East South Central and West South Central stste5 show a slightly more Democrat ic complexion, but figures for the lat ter group give the Democratic vote as S0.2SS against Republican vote of 25,5S5 and is certainly arresting con- siderable attention.

GERMANY MUST
 PAY BILLIONS
Allies. It Is Understood. Have Fixed High Indemnity Figure As War Resuit-Would
 Aid France.

Paris, May t7-It is understood in official circles here that the Anglo French conference at Hythe. which closed yesterday, decided that the sum which Germany should pay as reparation would be fixed at 20,000.- 0o0,00o marks gold Approximately sS0.0oO 900 .000.l
 It is also understood that it was de- cided Germany would De permitted to issue bonds covering her indebted ness to the allies. payable in annual installments.
 Such action, it is pointed out, would enable France to discount 3 part of her claim on Germany and permit her to settle her debts to the United States and the allies.
 A special conference of the allies will be held at Ostend to consider fi- nancial questions among the allies, it is stated This meeting will be inde- pendent of the league of nations con ference at Brussels. The dates of these conferences remain to be fixed.
 The decisions thus reported have been favorably received in French circles. While the total amount to be paid as reparation is much lower than the figure France desired. and is still further sl>ort of the actual sum de- clared to be required to restore the devastated regions and pay for other damage. it is pointed out that 66. 900, o00,000 marks in gold, which is fig rrei as Franee's share. would bs equivalent at the present rate of ex- change to nearly 240,000, ,000, ,00C francs in French paper. This. it is felt. could hardly fail to satisfy French public opinion.

VILLA IS DEAD
 ONE IN MEXICO
So Declares IhaHez, Spanish Novelist, and Also Says General 0bregon Is Immensely Popular--Will Write
 Book About the Republic.

tBy International News SeryiceA
 New York. May l7.-Pancho Villa is a dead one in Mexico.
 vincente Blasco Ibanez. the Span ish novelist, who recently returned here from Mexico. where he was vis- iting when the revolution broke out. says that the famous guerilla general has long since seen his best days.
 Ibanez, who is preparing to write book about Mexico entitled "The Eagle and the Snake" also declared that General Obregon is immensely popular turnout the Mexican repub- lie.
 Clad in green carpet slippers. pa- jamas and a raincoat. the Spanish writer reviewed the story of the Mex ican revolution thru an interpreter at his hotel here.
 After telling of the outbreak of hos tilities which, he said, were com menced earlier than had been expect ed because President Carranza forced the hands of the rebels in the hope that 0y so doing he might disrupt the revolution and regain full control of the Government. Ibanez turned to Villa and other Mexican figureheads.
 Villa is finished" he said. He is dead because he has gone out of style He is much like the bull-fght- CT who has outgrown his popularity, and you seldom, if ever, hear him talked about any more. As for the Mexican bull-fighters, they are far behind those of Spain and there are not as many professionals"
 Asked what he thought of General Obregon. he said;
 General Obregon is immensely popular turnout Mexico. In addition to the element that always rises to the support of anyone who institutes a revolt against the established gov .ernment in Mexico. he has great fol- lowing The students and the younger men of Mexico are Obregon's frmest supporters.
 While in Mexico I met both Obre- gon and Carranza. The former Presi- dent is highly intelligent, very active, and seems to be a born fighter, but l think that he was all too fond of welding the power that was his. Gen -eral 0bregon. too. has intelligence. He is the man of the hour"
 Senor lbanez refused to comment at length regarding his observations. He explained that he must save something for the book he is planning to write.
