Status of Deserters
Clearing the Lists
And Fighting Wrongs

Colonel Albert Greenlaw, comman-
der Of the Maine Department, Ameri-
can Legion, is sending special notice
to every post in his department of in
formation received by him from Rob-
ert A. Adams, national judge advo-
cate of the Legion, concerning the
present status of the deserters' list
as at present on file in the Office of
the .adjutant general of the army at
Washington. The information has
been secured about the men who
evaded the registration or failed to
report for duty thereafter. It says:
Attention is directed to members
of The American Legion that many
men are listed in the deserters' list of
the adjutant generals office by rea-
son of the fact that subsequent; to
registration they entered military
service and did not notify their local
board. After induction il the man
did not report, he was listed as de-
serter.
"The work of clearing this list will
be materially assisted If all the men
who are at all doubtful about their
present status will write to the adj
jutant. general of the army setting
forth their full name, local board,
residence at the time of registration
and order number. If possible.
Many other men were indicted in
the service during the time Of the In
fiuenza epidemic and died before re-
porting. The names of such men
probably appear as deserters also.
ANY member of the Legion know
ing OF such persons should so notify
the adjutant general with all possible
information.
ANY individual or post of The
American Legion suspecting a draft
deserter or delinquent should so
notify the adjutant general Of the
army. giving the fun name OF the
suspected deserter or delinquent, to-
gether with his residence at the time
of registration and order number IL
they can be obtained"
