How Innocent Men
May Have Been Made
Draft Deserters"

The following relating to alleged
d, aft Ges-rters is sent out by the
United States War Department, COM
irE from Headquarters, First Corps
Area, Army Base. Boston 9, Mass,
Major General David G. Sharks COM
mandinG and will explain numerous
things in connection Herewith not
wcll understood by the general public:
ITO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN;
"Attcntion is invited to the fact
that all of the names on the printed
lists OF alleged draft deserters are on
those lists because the War Depart
mcnt found in the investigation of the
scloctive service records that the pro-
per local board officials had entered
charges Of desortiOn against them,
and subsequent invcStiga lions have
failed TO produce any reason for re
moving such names from those lists.
Many cases will arise where the
men whose names are on the pub
lished lists will attempt to show by
certain Evidence which they may pro-
duce that they are wrongfully on the
list. and by Misrepresentation to
those not familiar with the provisions
of the selectiVe service regulations
will cause the publication of their
cases in such a manner as to mar
tyrize themselves and at the same
time put the War Department in the
position of publishing men without
just or proper cause therefor.
The following cases are typical:
A Ia
discharge from the Army in the ear
~ part of 1913, He then was called
by his local board, failing to respond
and was properly reported to The Adj
jutant General of the Army as a de-
sprter. This many may now produce
his honorable discharge Of 1913 to a
newspaper, make claim that he is
wrongfully on the list. and have the
alleged injustice done him very much
advertised, whereas he became a de-
serter after the date Of his discharge
and he was rightfully published as
such.
"(b) Discharges from draft and de-
ferments prior TO December 10, 1917,
also furnish many opportunities for
misrepresentation. People falling in
a1is class often display their discharg-
es from draft or their classification
cards and the average individual be-
lieves that they show full compliance
with the selective service law, where
as the men may have become desert
crs subsequent TO December 10, 1917.
through failure to submit their ques-
tionnaires or report for physical ex-
aminations or entertainments when
called.
"(c) Men who enlisted after Novem-
Der II, 1913, the date of the signing
of the Armistice, and who have since
that date been honorably discharged
from the service, may now use such
discharges in an attempt to prove
honorable war service when they were
really draft descrters before such en-
listment. An enlistment after the
Armistice does not remove a charge
of desertion incurred during the pc
Rod of actual hostilities.

Lower Prices
on Nash Cars
Effective July 2
Effective July 2

Nash prices will be reduced, ef-
fective July 2.
This conforms to our statement
made last October that n ash
prices would be maintained until
at least July l, 1921.
The reasons were plain. Until
manufacturing costs were lower
we could not cut price without
cutting value, as Nash prices
were not inflated.
We pointed out then that while
the average rise in the price
of motor cars for a fOur-year
period had been 76fo the price of
Nash cars had been raised but
31fa.
This 81 included the addition of
cord tires as standard equipment
and many other additions and re-
finements which added materially
to the value of Nash cars.
So we re-affirmed our fixed in
tention of rigidly unfolding the
high quality of Nash cars.
