All Who Did Not Report as Ordered

 Washington. May 1.-The war de- partment issued a statement today expressing surprise at the constant fire of drastic criticism" which fol- lowed its action in publishing lists of deserters from the draft as shown by the departments records. Despite the urgency of patriotic societies and the relatives of men who did their full duyt and who, in many cases, gave up their lives in the service. that the stacker lists be given out full duty and who. it is now insisted that the lists should never have been published at all until the department was absolutely convinced that. there appeared thereon the name of no man who actually rendered either military or naval service during the world war;
 Should Have Reported.
 AS a matter of fact" it con- tinued, the war department would have been entirely warranted in including in the published lists of men charged with desertion from the draft the name of every registrant who failed to report for military service at the time and place speci- fled in the notice sent to him by his local board, whether or not he sub- sequently served honorablyt in the army. navy or harfie corps of the United States or military forces of the Allied powers. Under the law every person whose status is that of a deserter from the draft within the terms of the foregoing definition. is a deserter from the draft regardless of any subsequent service which he may have rendered"
 4S9.O0O Names Checked
 The department undertook gratu- itously to check and re-check the records of the 4s9,000 men originally carried on the draft deserters list and reduced the list to approximately 155.000 names. the statement said, and thus far but four cases have officially developed where names of men were wonderfully carried on the list. The department asserts that in three of these cases the claim is made that the men themselves were at least partially responsible for the error.

|War Department
Is Charged in Report
With Waste of Money!

WASHINGTON, March 3.-In
$4,000 word report submitted to the
house, Chairman Graham, of the SUBJ
committee on war investigation,
gave a detailed review of testimony
relating to war department expendi-
lures for ordnance and supplies.
Democratic members filed a mi
nority report, dissenting from the
Republican views. Most of the find
ings have been previously published
"Facts reported and recorded in
the evidence speak for themselves"
said the Graham report, "and in the
main have not been denied or dis
puted except by the gloss of rhetoric
and a profusion of words intended
the business affairs of the war de-
partment. Records Of this admins
tration will be most enduring for
half century at least, during which
time the people will be compelled
to work and save and pay the debts
of the government, much of which
was incurred through colossal
waste and inefficiency.
"The American soldiers fought no.
bly, and well and while they fought
intelligence and inefficiency al
home wasted the national resources
and fattened the profiteer."
Representative Garrett, Tennessee
in a minority report, declared the
majority report, like others that
had preceded it, was predicated en-
tirely upon the determination to
criticize and find fault with prac.
tically all that was accomplished
by the war department of the gov
eminent in the greatest trial of it's
history"
Declaring that individuals had
been attacked without warrant and
their characters aspersed, Mr.. Gar
rett added:
"All testimony which has been
given in disproof of the evidence that
the majority have chosen to use, has
been not only disregarded but de-
out the whole of the report dealing
with all classes and kinds of sub
jects. there runs the same thread of
sinister suggestion which has
marked both formal reports of the
committee and speeches Of members
