few months to convict approximately
$4,000 alleged draft deserters, it is
learned.

eral days ago by the War Department
that more than 100000 names have
been listed as draft evaders. Depart
ment of Justice officials have re-
newed their zeal in obtaining evil
dence which would convict the al
legged slackers.
Despite the fact that interest in the
war has died down considerably. Of
ficials said. an accounting must be
made with all persons who willfully
evaded the selective service law

dodging. according to the terms of
the law. is one years imprisonment.

Brings SONS BODY
WITH DIFFICULTY
Chicago Mother Tells of Dis
tressing Experiences With
Her Soldier Dead.

| NEW YORK. February 81 (by the
| Associated Press). = Difficulties she
encountered in reaching her sons
grave in France and in getting the
body aboard the steamship Britannia,
for transportation to America. were
related today by Mrs. A Devera OF
Chicago.
Mrs. Devera, who left today for
Chicago with the body, declared she
would have failed in her mission had
it not been for the assistance of the
of Columbus. She declared her sue
cess in getting past the French regu-
lations was due to an "unstinted use
of American dollars" among the en-
ployes of Free nch bureaus.
Ghouls Seeking Tips.
There are no arrangements where
by an American parent can get a cas-
ket out of France except by the tip
ping process Mrs. Devera said.
There are scores of relatives of dead
Americans now in France attempting
to do as l did. The knights of Co
lumbus and the American Red Cross
are doing everything possible for
relatives. They have located scores
of graves. but S~e powerless to do
anything except with the consent of
the French authorities"
Drivers Of privately owned automo-
biles, she said. charge an average of
$50 francs to take an American visitor
to an American cemetery. The
Knights of Columbus, in an effort to
prevent this profiteering, Mrs. Devera
added. have turned over their ma
chimes for such purposes and forbade
the chauffeurs to accept tips.
First to Bring Body Back.
Her son was James Devera, and Mrs.
Devera is the first American mother
to bring back the body of a son who
died from wounds received in the
world war. Upon her arrival here she
almost gave up in despair when an
undertaken wanted to charge $45 for
transporting the body from the pier
to the Pennsylvania station. The
knights of Columbus again came to
the rescue with a motor truck.
Mrs. Devera arrived in France with
several hundred dollars, she said, but
had only $50 left when she landed
here.
