FALSE ADDRESSES, REMOVALS HINDER
WORK OF CHECKING LIST OF DRAFT EVADERS

False addresses, death, or removals,
have made it difficult to trace the %
men listed as draft deserters from the
Richmond district by United States
army officials.
Four of the draft deserters are men
who were employed at the construc-
ton camp of the Pennsylvania rail
road, and former draft officials be-
lieve that they probably did not fully
understand the provisions of the law,
and violated it unknowingly in leaving
without notifying officials where they
might be found.
These workers were Arthur Allison,
Massilon, o.: John Chadderton, Ernest
Holstrom and Rudolph Schmidt Only

FIagran. Case.
The most flagrant case, according
to former Sheriff Glenn Carr, was that
of Norman Baldwin. who was living at
the Y. M, c. A. He was an advertis-
ing solicitor, coming to Richmond
llOIH llllHOlS. AIleT DelnS registered,
examined, and accepted, he left for
Washington a few days before his
call, stating that he was going to see
Champ Clark, with whom he claimed
to be well acquainted. He also claim
ed to have been a page in the United
States senate, and to have many
friends among Illinois politicians. The
local draft board communicated with
him in Washington. and received a
telegram from him stating that he was
on his way to Richmond, and would
report to the local authorities. No
trace has been found of him since.
The father of Leonard Armstrong
said after his son had failed to report
here to the draft board the family re-
ceived a Y. NJ. c.. \. form card from
New York, signed by Leonard and
stating that he had arrived safely in
France.
May Be in France.
Mr.. Armstrong thinks that his son
may be in France still, probably mar
ried to French girl. Another son,
Howard. a brother of Leonard, was
killed in action in France on July Is,
1918. His body has not vet arrived,
but the parents are expecting it soon.

street. He had left Richmond about
Feb. 1, before the declaration of war,
going to Springfield, O., where he
worked several weeks, then going to
Dayton. where he was at the time of
registration. He gave Richmond as
his address on account of having le-
gal residence here, but as it was i'm.
possible to reach him by mail later,
he did not receive his call to service.
He was last heard from when a post
card was received from DuQuesne,
Pa. Another son of Mrs Stewart died
in service, while a third younger boy
is still in the army, having enlisted
after the war. Carl, who died at
Camp Devens, Mass, after two weeks
in hospital, was member of the Sup
ply company of the 36th infantry.

EAST COAST MYSTERY
SHIPS ARE BELIEVED
BLOCKADE RUNNERS
fRv Associated Press,

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 1s.-
Pirate yarns and reports of mysteri-
ous ships seen lurking along the trade
lanes of the north Atlantic may be ex-
planned by the discovery of BLOCKADE
runners" that have been landing car
goes of contIaband liquor on the Jer-
sey coast, in the opinion of revenue
agents in this district In maritime
circles stories have been told of
strange vessels approaching merchant
men on the open seas, as though pre-
pared to attack, and then dashing of
into the darkness without observing
the inviolable rule of answering code
signals.
1t was even suggested that these
specter-like craft might be able to
explain the disappearance of certain
vessels. What revenue agents believe
to be the explanation of such unusual
actions on the high seas was brought
about through the seizure of whiskey
valued at $4,000 which is said to
have been landed along a cove near
Wildwood, n. J.

AWAIT REPLY
OF JAPAN TO
LATEST NOTE
Further Development in Plans
for international Armament
Conference Hinges on Res
ponse of Nippon.
ACCEPTANCE EXPECTED
fRy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Further
concrete development in plans of Pres
ident Harding for international dir
armament conference, probably to be-
gin in Washington this fall, awaited
today response from Japan to ad-
ditional communications understood
to present more fully views of the adj
ninistration as to desirability of re-
viewing at the same time, Tar eastern
problems.
There seemed little doubt among
officials here, however, that the full
program would be carried out. Toxic
dispatches have clearly indicated the
division of opinion in Japan as to the
wise cause of that government in re-
latlon to the proposed far eastern
discussions, and there was no eve
dence here today of any desire to
press for an early reply from Japan
to that portion of the presidents in
vitation.
Expect Acceptance.
1t was clear however that officials
expected the interchange of views
now in progress between Washington
and Toxic as to the scope to be given
the far eastern conference to result
eventually in full acceptance by ia
pan.
The American government is under
stood to have made plain its position
that the specific matters to be treated
must of necessity be agreed upon by
the conference in preliminary ses-
sions
Behind this, it is understood, is the
feeling in Washington, that mutual
understanding of the views of the
several powers concerned with Pa
c1flc matters will go far toward clear
ing away possible future war causes.
Such an understanding would permit
the main objects of the discussion.
the actual reduction of naval arma-
ments particularly, and the consequent
decrease in tax burdens of the peo-
pies of the nations involved, to be
attained promptly, according to the
American view
