From The Trioumc's Washington Burea,.
WASHINGTON, JAN 1S.-The War
Department to-day wrote to al; chair
men of draft boards asking them to
go over the army list of men classified

Draft chairmen were informed that
the department. has compared the lists
with army records and has exhausted
all means Of determining the true
status of all registrants. The NAVY
department is now engaged in q SINH
lar check to ascertain if men classed
as army deserters actually served IN
the navy.
Upon completion of the navy's
check copies Of the official list will
be dispatched to all draft board chair
men so they may complete the check.
The lists will then be returned to the
War Department, and authorization
for publication Of all the names will
be given if the recommendation of
Adjutant General Peter c. Harris is
approved by Secretary of War Baker.

some men who are wrongfully classed
as deserters in the view of the draft
boards the War Department will take
steps to apprehend the deserters and
prosecute them under court martial
authority, General Harris said.

Mr.. ROGERS REPLIES

Editor Star: In your issue. of the
18th inst. notice G. A. Waters of
the fourth district, sets up sickly
whine which to me looks like bid
for votes next year, or an excuse to
his people for not doing his duty this
year on the public roads.
By insinuation he seeks TO make the
impression that / acted dishonesty
with the road fund of his district from
Oct. 1st, 1920, to Jan. 4th, 1921, by
saying "some little difference between
$4,000 for three months and $4,000 for
nine months and not likely to get all
that
The records show that in October
last spent of the road fund $1138.31,
in November $1531.6O and in Decem-
Der $3119.13, making a total Of
$5789.64, not $4,000 as he said. I
would say not by way of apology, for
I have none to offer, the old board of
commissioners last year seeing the
Wasteful and extravagant method of
spending the road funds under the
old system, decided to buy for the
county up-to-date, labor-saving road
machinery and each district TO pay its
pro rata share on the purchase of the
machinery.s We tried out the machin-
cry and bought it at about $4,000,
including freight and needed expense
The price of this from each district
On account of the scarcity of labor in
the fourth district carried over
about $1,000 from the budget OF 1918
on Oct. 1st, 1920. and added that to
