SLACKERS' ROLL TO
Be CALLED SOON BY
WAR Department

Richmond and Wayne county men,
who for any reason Stacked" during
the war, had better tremble In their
shoes.
The roll of draft deserters, who fall
ed to respond to the draft call in the
United States during the war, Is to be
posted soon by the war department.
1t will contain the names of every
American eligible under the draft who
evaded the call. There are 1871
names now on the list.
Wants Names of Volunteers.
The department is taking pains to
avoid having the name of any man
listed on the deserters' roll who does
not deserve to have it there.
An appeal was issued today to all
those who served honorably and who
are in doubt as to their status to com
municate at once with the department
In order that no injustice be done.
The announcement said:
THE war department is most anx
ious not to place upon any man who
served his country honorably the
humiliation of having his name appear
rs Stacker, and for that reason is
seeking the widest publicity Of the
TACT that list OF deserters VIII be
published, and that the men whose
names appear on that list will be ar
rested and brought to trial before a
military court.
Can Prove Record7 Do 1t.
ANY man, therefore, who Is not
positive that his record with his loca
board was complete in every detail
should avail himself at once OF this
opportunity to clear his record an(
avoid the probable publication of hi;
name as a deserter. Once the list o
deserters is posted, every means a
the disposal OF the army will be
brought into play to bring about thu
arrest and trial OF the guilty.
THE tremendous public sent!mcn
against slackers Will cause the where
abouts Of most Of them to be revealed
and 1t is not expected that any guilt,
man will escape"

she makes her debut with the Shu-

but I'm told she does ii very well.
She has talent and If experience
doesn't dampen her fine enthusiasm
for a stage career, she should go FAR.
1t seems that she had had the motion
picture bee in her bonnet for some
time, but couldn't persuade her father
to let her leave home. Finally, how
ever, he consented to allow her a
little flyer on the stage right here at
home. so she will have the distinction
of making her debut in society and
on the stage within a year.
