Improperly With Evading Selective Draft to
Communicate Facts to Him.

Provost Marshal-General. numbered
nearly 4s0, 900 names. has been reduced
by careful checking and by the ap-
prehension or evaders to approximately
10000 names. The final lists by draft
districts are now being tabulated by
the Adjutant-General's office.
or the list of nearly half a million
mames originally compiled, 1t was found
that more than 1bl 900 actually had
served honorably in the armed forces
Of this country or the Allies. BY July
is, 1919. nearly $4,000 OF those on the
original list had been apprehended by
the military or civil authorities, leav-
ing an actual remainder on that date
of about 174.0OO names. Since then APP
proximately 1900 more names have
been eliminated on the basis of infor-
nation obtained and the careful check
ing of official war service records.
AS a last check to prevent as far as
possible branding innocent men as de-
serters. the department had the lists
carefully checked by the local board
members, the Adjutant- Generals Of the
States and officials of the Navy and
Marine Corps. The reports as finally
checked at these sources are now being
prepared for publication in the final
lists.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-A last op-
portunity for selective service law evad-
ers to escape broadcast publication Of
their names as deserters during the
world war was given to-day by Adjutant-
General Harris Of the army.
Persons who have reasons to believe
they Will be charged with evading the
draft, but who actually did not do so,
the Adjutant-General announced, may
escape the odfum OF being publicly
branded as deserters unjustly by com
municating all the facts OF the case to
him without delay.
The final check OF the draft evader
lists Is now being completed by former
members Of the local draft boards. BY
the end OF the month the War Depart
ment expects to begin making the lists
public through the newspapers and by
furnishing copies to city. State and Fed
eral police. detective agencies, the Amer
lean Legion and other patriotic societies
In addition, Secretary Weeks will ask
Congress when 1t reconvenes to provide
funds to enable the War Department to

The information was filed two days after
Hamon was shot last November.
Such action. following the young wonl-

understanding concerning tho Versailles
treaty independent of the League of
Nations covenant. The Administration
will take into consideration Senatorial
opinion. and the sentiment of the
Foreign Relations Committee appears to
be iilsistent that the league covenant be
separated from the treaty before that
document Is ratified.
In taking this position 1t is assumed
by Senate leaders that the United States
will be In a position of great advantage.
Without the moral support OF the sigma
ture Of the United States to the Ver-
sailles compact no security is seen for
the allied Powers and they must con-
tinue to enforce its terms with arms.
1t Is pointed out also that Objectionable
points Of the treaty itself make its rati-
fication more difficult. Accordingly,
any effort to inject any feature Of the
league into the document which will be
submitted finally by President Harding
for ratification may endanger the APP
proval Of the entire treaty. overthrow
ing all of the results of the Versailles
conference.
Allied diplomacy Is expected to be
more ConceTHeu eVtHtudliy over lnlS po5-
sibflity and over the alternative of a
separate peace with Germany than with
the league itself.
Allied diplomats may or may not have
overlooked the fact, but the Versailles
treaty Is not before the Senate. 1t is in
the possession Of the President and must
be submitted by him to the Senate. The
President accordingly is in position to
start at any point he wishes in dealing
with the allied representatives.
He is expected to point out that peace
Is the great essential. Before the estab-
lishment of peace It is considered eX-
tremely unlikely that the President will
attempt to move in the direction of the
formation of his idea of an association
