Last Chance for
Draft Dodgers
to Offer Excuses

Washington, Mar. 1S-A last op-
portunity for selective service law
evaders to escape broadcast publica-
ton of their names as deserters dur
ing the world war was given TODAY
by hdjutant General Harris of the
army.
Perosns who have reason to be-
lieve that they will be charged with
evading the draft, but who did not
actually do SO, the adjutant general
announced, may escape the odium
of being publicly branded as a de-
/ serter unjustly by communicating all
the facts of the case to him without
delay.
The final check of the draft evader
lists is now being completed by for
mer members of the local draft
boards. BY the end of the month
the war department expects to begin
to make the lists public through the
newspapers and by furnishing copies
to city, state and federal police, de-
tective agencies, the American Le-
gfon and other patriotic societies. In
addition Secretary Weeks will ask
Congress when it reconvenes, to pro-
vide funds to enable the war depart
ment to pay a reward of $50 to any
, person who delivers to the military
authorities deserter from the draft
Funds on hand now do not permit
| paying the full reward
The departments list OF draft
evaders, which as originally reported
to the provost marshal general num-
bered nearly 100000 names, has been
reduced by careful checking and by
the apprehension of evaders to ap-
proximately 10000 names The fin.
al lists by draft districts are now be-
ing tabulated by the adjutant gen.
erals office.
