U. S. TO OFFER REWARD
FOR ALL DRAFT DODGERS

The War Department plans to Of
fer q reward for the apprehension Of
draft dodgers just as soon as II OBJ
tains sufncient funds. 1t was an
nounced yesterday.
At present only actual expenses
not exceeding $50 are paid those who
locate slackers. The Department
asked for an appropriation OF $780,
600 to provide rewards. but the
amount was cut to 100000 In the
pending army appropriation bill. This
Is expected to go a long way. how
ever. in bringing draft dodgers to
terms.
Very few alleged draft dodgers
have taken advantage of the Govern
ment's offer to take their cases up
directly with the Adjutant General.
So far only two have appeared, Il
was stated yesterday, and both said
they had served in the British army
during the war.

HARVEY PAvES
WAY TOAM||TY
Belief Sharpened That Britain
and y. S. Draw Closer to
Plane Of Understanding.
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES.
l.sevustson.I New. Service,

The United States and Great Brit
ain are rapidly reaching "a plane
Of understanding" on practically
every big international issue about
which thsre have bsen sharp differ
ences Of opinion ever since the
Paris Peace Conference, according
to conviction that prevails in
diplomatic quarters here.
EMPHAsIzED BY HARVEY.
Developments on both sides Of the
Atlantic In the last few weeks have
pointed strongly to this, and 1t has
been driven home with more force by
Harvey. which set . new mark In
ambaSsadorial frankneas.
Coupled with these Developments
10 the significant fact that the ad-
rn1nistration now has under con-
alteration the transfer of nearly the
entire American Fleet into the Pacific.
leaving Britain mistress of the
Atlantic and the United States In con-
troll of the Pacifc.
Great Britain herself is credited by
diplomats here with starting the ball
rolling by her informal assurances
that British support will be back of
disposition of that small but import
ant island IL taken up by the Allied
Supreme Council.
Although State Department offi-
cials decline to discuss Siiesis,. there

Great Britain understands" that tho

the Upper silesian controversy.
BRITAIN SOUNDS U. 8.
It IL known that Great Britain
was extremely anxious to learn how
America stood when the Upper
Silesian dispute nrst gave Indication
Of possible split In the Anglo
French entente. During the critical
days OF last week, however, wher
matters were at q boiling point. Sir
Auckland Geddes was absent from
Washington the greater part of the
time. Diplomats in close touch with
the situation do not believe that
the British representative would be
missing from the center of affairs
at such q critical time unless he
were we'll satisfied with his position.
An American-British agreement
along solid lines 10 regarded in dipio-
matte quarters here as a distinct

Colonel Harvey hinted at such an
event In his speech. which. 1t was
stated. had the approval of the Presi-
dent and administration leaders gem
orally. Colonel Harvey termed IL

Colonel Harvey said, significantly:
MY country stands ready to work
with yours, because, first. IL is to
our own interest to do so, and, Sec
ondly. because 1t Is to the advantage
of both"
HARDING APPRovEs.
This, too. had the approval of Pres
ident Harding and Secretary Hughes,
II was said authoritatively.

ecers. The claim 10 made that expert
technical men Of mature age and ex-
I,erience have been showed back and
loss technical men of less age and ex-
perisnce have not only been given
higher grading, but higher rank. For
Instance. coed engineer with college
degrees and extended experiences and

Academy in 1917. while the man from

sense of the word, as he could not
rave been drafted. did not 80 into
the service until 1918.
y MORALE IL AETECTBD.
!, Aside. from the disappointment Of
hundreds Of men who feel they should
hsve received different treatment. =
more serious aspect Of the situation
from the viewpoint Of the whole mill
tary establishment is the lowering OF
morale and the very great responsi-
bility that hundreds of the most
promising additions to the service
with wartime experience may be lost
through resignations brought about
By q feeling of unfair treatment. The
engineers are not the only ones COM
planning. the quartermaster corps and
other stan sections feeling the dis.
satisfaction with equal force.
At Camp Dix the situation became
90 acute that some Of the discon-
tented former emergency officers cir
cuiated papers pointing out the al
legged injustices with the result that
Major General Summerail ordered an
for report to the chief
of stan.
Most OF the dissatisfied officers feel
that their war records and their ex-
perience should be the compelling
factor in their rankings. and for the
matter of proper service spirit, their
age and education should be given
the most serious consideration to on
set the advantages claimed by men
who happened to be students at West
Point in 1917 and whose graduation
day was advanced because, OF the
declaration Of war.

ago made a member of the staff of
Gov. All A. Taylor, of Tennessee.
Colonel Huidekoper has tempora-
rily laid aside his uniform: Colonel
Harper has probably outgrown his.
and Colonel Cooper Is still awaiting
the completion of his. so that he will
be prepared to officiate at an early
gubernatorial function of the Voiun-
teer State
Outside OF Cooper being the only
three-cornered bank president in the
District, he has the honor OF having
four other brothers who are bank
presidents through the South. The
family percentage is thus seven bank
presidencies out of five sons-not a
slow record.
