PUNISH EVERY
DRAFT EVADER,
HARRIS URGES
Adiutant General Saws 1t Is I'M
perative For Future-Pro-
poses Rewards

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Ener-
cotic pursuit and punishment of the
more than 100000 men who avaded
the draft during the World War is
urgently recommended by Major
General Harris, adjutant general of
the army, in his report made public
today by the secretary of war. To
bring those guilty to trial, he rec
ommends that congress appropriate
S25O.OO0 to pay rewards of $50 for
each draft deserter delivered to the
military authorities.
'It is Imperative" he declares,
that the government exhibit the
greatest possible energy in pursuing
these men and in Furnishing all who
are found guilty. If the government
permit these deserters to escape pun
.ahment provided for their offense,
.CasaQucnces of the gravest import
>ll certainly ensue.
"Inaction of this sort would tend to
ret a premium on evasion of military
service, with the inevitable result
Shat, should another national emer-
gency arise and another selective
draft be put in operation, the num-
Der of men attempting to evade the
performance of military duty will
mount to a figure so large as to i'm
peril the Nation through interfering
very seriously. with the rapid build
ing-up of an emergency army"
General Harris says the publica-
ton of the Stacker lists" by the
newspapers "proved highly useful for
the purpose of Strengthening out, the
records of a number of non-wilful
deserters whose names were included
therein, despite all the care and eff
fort expended in an attempt to in
cude none but those of willful de-
serters and says these have been re-
moved from the lists.
General Harris report shows that
reported dcsertions from the regular
army in the fiscal year ended last
June totalled 14,563, or 4.57 per
cent, the largest percentage since
1909, and nearly four times as great
as that in the preceding fiscal year.
He says the marked increase proba-
bly, can be accounted for ''by the fact
that the vast majority of the desert
ers were new recruits who found the
army discipline more irksome than
they had anticipated.
The number of reported descr-
TONS" he adds, "is in excess of the
number Of actual desertions as many
Of the men will be returned to mill
tary control and acquitted of the
charge CT desertion, while others will
be convicted of the lesser Ioffense of

MOULTRIE FAIR PLANNED
AFTER SUSPENSION A YEAR

MOULTRIE, Dec. 13.-At the an
nual meeting of the stockholders of
the Colquitt County Fair association
here yesterday it was definitely de-
cided to stage fair in Moultrie next
fall. The date was fixed as the last
week in October.
The report of the retiring presi-
dent, c. W. Pidcock, showed that the
financial affairs of the fair associa-
tion were in prime condition. No
fair was held here this fall, direc-
tors of the ASSOCIATION holding that
business conditions were such that
such a step would be inadvisable.

LA TOILETTE TO
FIGHT TREATY TO
HIS FULL POWER
Senator Declares Himself With
Borah And Reed, Irreconcil-
ables Against League

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. (By
Associated Press = The new quad
ruple treaty to preserve peace in the
Pacific was formally signed today by
the plenipotentiaries of the United
States, Great Britain, France and Ja-
pan in the anteroom of the office
of Secretary of State Hughes. There
was no formal ceremony. M
The new pact will reach the senate,
it is expected, within short time.
The American reservations were
in regard to the Island of zap and
the provision that domestic questions
of the various powers not be consid-
cred within the scope of the treaty.
Declaring the new four power Pa
cific treaty has "all the iniquities
of the League of Nations, with none
of the virtues claimed for that docu-
ment," Senator LaFollette, of Wis
consin, today announced in formal
statement that he was prepared to
do "all in my power to prevent its
ratification.
The attack on the document open
ed in the senate yesterday from two
"irreconcilables" in the Versailles
covenant controversy, Senator Bo-
rah, Republican, Idaho, and Reed,
Democrat, Missouri. Breaking the
silence he had maintained since the
treaty was laid before the world
Mr.. Borah spoke more than an hour
devoting his attention to article two
of the new treaty which he compared
to article ten of the Versailles COW
enant. He declared that the treaty
compelled the armament conference
to make "real disarmament an, ac-
tuality or make the treaty d
straight out military alliance
Defense of the pact, conducted
largely by Senator Poindexter, Repub-
llCdHB dSLillBIuIi,s IcodltSu lib ttr
opening of the whole question of
what obligations were entailed upon
the United States by the new agree
ment. Senator Poindexter told the
senate that some seemed unduly
alarmed about the pact and declared
that article two could not be con-
strued as the equivalent of article
ten.
Senator Reed, breaking into the
debate at this point, said Senator
Poindexter's statement meant that
the new treaty was worth little as q
binding agreement. He added that
if the United States was not going
to observe its moral obligations, such
as he contended were contained In
the treaty, the country would become
"the laughing stock of the whole
world"
