Government Will Pay $50 Each for
Delivery to Military Control
of EVaders.

Washington, April 29-Fifty dol
lars will be paid for the delivery TO
military control of any draft evader,
the War department announced.
Names of those who evaded the Sc
lective service are about to be pub
lished from the headquarters of corps
areas
Secretary Weeks said that the opin-
ion of Attorney General Daugherty is
favorable to publication of the list.
The form upon which the names Of
draft evaders are to be printed quotes
the 106th article of war, which makes
it lawful for any civil officer to ar
rest deserters from the military sery-
ice and deliver them to military au-
thorities.

ISSUES STACKER LIST
ILLINOIS, MICHIGAN AND WIS
coNslN CREDITED WITH 10000.
Government offers Reward of $50
Each for Their Capture-All Citi-
gems Authorized to Arrest.

Chicago, May 2.-The first official
list of draft evaders in the Sixth army
corps area, embracing Illinois, Mchi-
gan and Wisconsin, was received by
Col. Eli Helmlck, chief of staff at Fort
Sheridan. With it the War department
sent Colonel Helmick instructions on
how to round up the 1900 slackers in
his territory.
The list will not be made public for
four or five days, Colonel Ilemicll said.
1t was sent to the military printing
Office at Camp Grant where POO copies
will be struck off. These lists will then
be sent to the newspapers, post Of
fees, draft boards, state adjutant gen
erals office, county sheriffs, United
States marshals, and chiefs of police.
A reward of $50 Is offered for the
capture of each man named on the
list and every citizen is authorized to
make an arrest, according to one Of
the articles Of war.
The American Legion has also been
asked to-aid
The first list contains a relatively
small number of names. Similar lists
will be sent each day. 1t is purposed
to publish them in small installments
so police, soldiers, marshals, and
sheriffs will have ample time to in
vestigate a certain number per day
The old guard house at Fort Sheri-
dan is being repaired for the recep-
tion Of the slackers. Other places to
which they will be taken are Fort
Brady at Sault Ste. Marie, Fort SMELL
ing at ST. Paul, Camp Grant, jefferson
Barracks, Chanute Fields, Rantoul H.,
Rock Island Arsenal, Fort Wayne at
Detroit and Camp Custer at Battle
Creek.
The War department has compiled
a list of 100000 slackers throughout
the United States. The 1900 in this
area is said to be a small percentage,
in comparison to the population.

GERMANY WOULD
AMEND PROPOSAL
Seeks to Put Decision for Agree
ment Basis Up to
Harding.
TRICKERY LAID TO BERLIN
Allies Concur in Rejecting German Of
fer-BeIgian, British and French
Ministers Agree That the
Terms Won't Do.

Berlin, April so. A semioficial
statement was issued here suggesting
that the German government was will
ing to modify its PREPARATIONS proposals
If asked by Washington to do so, and
that by such action a basis of agree
ment could be reached
London, April 30-Prime Minister
Lloyd George declared in the house of
commons today that the British gov
eminent was committed to action, so
far as the Westphallan coal fields were
concerned, If the German reparation
proposals were unsatisfactory.
1T is not for me to say whether an
other opportunity will be given Ger
many or not" he added.
Mr.. Lloyd George made this declara-
tlon when pressed as to whether Great
Britain would be committed to any
course of action before the commons
could debate on the question.
AS to Germany's proposals, the
premier said:
81 very much regret to say that
they are thoroughly unsatisfactory,
and l wish it had been possible for
me to say that they alter the situa-
tlon."
The prime minister said that de
tailed plans for the occupation of the
Westphalan coal fields were being ex-
amined by the conference of allied
experts
The Belgian representatives were
quoted by Reuters Limited as stating
ain the most emphatic manner that
they had been unanimous in the deci-
sion that the latest German proposals
were not even worthy of discussion"
M. Jaspar and NJ Theunys said there
was one figure in the proposals which
Germany had advanced in a deliberate
attempt to deceive the public.
This was the total sum of 100000
100000 gold marks which they offered
the allies. The Belgians declared this
figure was entirely misleading The
only real figure the Germans were of
fering, they said, was 50000,000,000
SOlu Ludlhb, With Idle VI luitItSl At
4 per cent, which could only be de-
scribed as ridiculous.
To arrive by this method at the
total of 2O0,OOOOOO00O gold marks
payment at so small rate o. interest
would have to be spread over sixty to
eighty years, which arrangement, the
Belgians declared, would be equivalent
to no payment at all. The 10000,
100000 gold marks did not represent
One-half the sum fixed by the Paris
conference, they asserted.
Germanys attempt to clarity certain
of her proposals in compliance with
the request of the British foreign of
flee Wednesday was said In official
circles to have resulted in even greater
confusion
Great Britain has asked for further
explanations and the interchanges are
continuing, although they are said to
be entirely informal.

HOLLAND MUST BEHAVE

IN THE u. S.
aa4E
Dutch Government Attempts to Elk
clude Americans From the Su-
matra Oil Fields.

Washington, May 1.-The issue
raised by Hollands attempt to eX-
clude American capital from the SUI
matra oil fields and by the resulting
protest Of this government Is one of
tremendous Importance and univer-
salty of application to commercial ma
ti0ns,' 1t was stated ut the State de-
partment.
Holland, 1t was pointed out, Is at
tempting to do what President Hard
ing, In his "by the eternals" speech,
is constructed as saying she shall not
do, that is, to deny the principle and
fruit Of reciprocity.
In fact, the note to Holland is a
step in advance Of the protests to
Great Britain over Mesopotama and
Japan over her mandate islands in the
north Pacific.
There are valuable rights in all
mandate lands in which the United
States claims equal commercial privi-
leges under the open door or reclproc-
ity doctrine and under the mandate
plan Holland comes under the open
door or reciprocity class, and 1t IS
reciprocity from Holland to which the
Presidents speech Is understood to APP
ply, and to apply to very clearly
In the case of Holland, whose charge
daf'ars, DR. ], b. Hubrecht, called mt
the State department. it happens that
the remedy is in the hands of the
President, and not Of congress. Doctor
Hubrecht is understood to have ex-
planned that the law under which Am.
erican capital would be excluded from
Sumatra has not yet been finally
passed

After a brief session of the allied
supreme council it was reported that
Lloyd George had persuaded Premier
BRAND to delay the movement Of
troops into Germany pending further
discussion of reparations

threatened invasion Of the Ruhr by
French forces if the payment is not
made.
II was announced that the gold had
not arrived and there is no indication
that Germany contemplates payment.
