the little fellow insisting on bring

throwing the line he kept a steady
hand, even when he felt big fish
grab hold. Calling to his father in
excited tones, the youngster was
assisted in getting out the big Chi

ing hand. The salmon was one of
the finest that has been caught
this season.

War Department Says
Publication Justified;
Only Four Errors In
List Reported

Washington, May 1.-THE wal
department issued statement to-
day expressing surprise at the
constant fire of drastic criticism
which followed its action in pub
fishing lists of deserters from the
draft as shown by the depart
ment's records. Despite the ur-
gency of patriotic societies and
the relatives of men who did their
full duty and who, in many cases
gave up their lives in the. service
that the Stacker lists be given
OUT" the statement said, ''it is in
sisted now that the lists should
never have been published at all
until the department was absolute
ly convinced that there appeared
thereon the name of no man who
actually rendered either military
or naval service during the world
war"
GAS a matter of fact" it con
tinued "the war department would
have been entirely warranted in
including in the published lists of
men charged with desertion from
the draft the name of every reg
istrant who failed to report for
military service at the time and
place specifically stated in the mo-
tice sent to him by his local board,
whether or not he subsequently
served honorably in the army,
navy OF marine corps of the United
States or military forces of the al
lied powers.
The department undertook gra-
tituously to check and re-check the
records of the $4,000 men orig
inally carried on the draft desert
ers list and reduced the list to ap-
proximately $4,000 names, the
statement said, and thus far but
four cases have officially develop
ed where names of men were
wrongfully carried on the list.
