To Publish Names

Washington, March 18.Publica-

draft evaders will be started by the
War Department about April l.
The number of cases reported orig

489,OO3. BY various processes OF

100000.
Most Of the lists are now in the
hands Of the local draft boards Of

ssTA ACH day see more clearly that the
Yankee peril for us is multiform.
The New York herald., 1921-01-09

grave omission is the failure to trace Yankee
migration into Canada. There are sections
in Nova Scotia where the proportion OF
Mayfower descendants is greater than in
any part of : polyglot present day New
England.
Mr. Bridgeman has not completely got the
spirit of New England, for he discounts the
love OF adv enture in her composition. Cot
ton Mather complained that for every Indian
who became Christianized twenty coonists
went over to the life and customs of the
heathen. The lumber camps of the Maine
forests, the whalers that sailed from New
Bedford and the slave vessels from the
Busher colony of Rhode Island were dis
tinctly secular in their mode of life. but they
did as much as the churches to mould the
New Englander who fought the Revolution
and the civil war and carried the American
flag to all parts of the world. Glance at the
poetic face of Adoniram Judson. 1t is as
romantic as that of Byron. The influence
which modelled his early life made him seek
the quest of adventure by evangeizing the
orient, but in another environment such a
man would have died as Byron did in seek
ing freedom for Greece.
