The outstanding achievement of
the administration is the progress
II has made in traversing the road
hack to normalcy. President Hard
ing told Washington newspaper
men in an amazingly frank talk at
the National Press Club here last
night.
Harding, celebrating the anniver-
sary of his first year in the White
House gave the correspondents an
intimate picture of his thoughts
in a heart to heart" talk.
While he mingled with the news
folk in the club which is atop a
vaudeville theater, former Presi-
dent Wilson entered the theater
and sat in his usual box. Neither
knew that the other was in the
building.
So many things have transpired
during his first term of office that

he assumed office year ago, the

DRAFT DODGERS

Action of Congress Gives

Right to Prosecute.

fresh impetus has been given to
the apprehension and punishment Of
draft deserters during the world
war
The action of Congress in pass
ing. few days ago. a joint resolu-
tion regarding the status of desert
ers from the military and naval
services of the United States during
the war. has done two important
things. in the opinion of officers Of
the War Department.:
l. II has made absolutely alright
the authority of the War Depart
ment to continue its work Of seek
ing out and Furnishing these de-
serters.
.. 1t has Vindicated the policy OF
the War Department in undertaking
and carrying on this work.
Stacker Hunt TO Go On.
The department will continue its
hunt for the slackers. and will make
additional efforts to prosecute them.
So far comparatively few of the
10000 on the Stacker lists have
been punished. and only a slightly
larger number apprehended. The
total number apprehended is 1.l03,
while 500 have surrendered. making
a total of 1872
Definite figures are lacking as TO
the total number punished.
The Congressional resolution in
question was passed by the House
on March l, and it is expected to be
signed by the President in a few
days. 1t was drawn up by the Judge
Advocate Generals office of the War
Department, and it's passage was
requested of Congress as necessary
in the departments campaign
against the draft deserters. The
resolution has the effect of con-
deserters until March Il. 1925.
The resolution specifically pro-
vides that this amenability to
prosecution and trial OF draft de-
serters shall not terminate before
the expiration of three years after
the date of the Presidents procla-
nation of peace which was on No
vember IL 1921.
Correct Legal Theory.
II is understood that the resolu-
of the legal thory that after ter
mination of a statute. in this case

The vote on the resolution when

is looked on as a sort of a vote
of confidence" In the War Depart

pressions of opinion that with the

BRINDLY TO BE. BULLDOG LEADER
 ON GRID IN 1922.

Sturgeon Brindley, two-year veteran of Howard colleges football squad, will next season be captain of the Bulldogs. He was elected to this post of honor by members of the 1921 varsity team at a meeting yes terday morning. Brindley has played varsity center for two years. de- spite the fact that he has been one of the lightest men on the Howard line.
 The new Bulldog captain is let ter man in baseball as well as foot ball and is one of the best liked men on the East Lake campus. He is ex- pected to prove a popular leader of the Bulldogs next season.
 Brindley will probably lead one of best teams in the history of football at Howard, for every veteran of the past season will be eligible to play next season, and, with few excep- tions, every varsity man will return.
 Howard has an unusually hard schedule lined up, and 1922 is ex- pected to be banner football year for the Bulldogs.

 Danny Clark, while veteran in experience, is still quite a young ster in age. He started playing professional baseball when he was only IT years of age, and this gave him quite a bundle of experience before he was called higher for his real chance.
 The Clark boy played In the old Cotton States league. The circuit blew up and friend tip ped him off to Moley. The Baron Boss signed him and after a spring tryout shipped him to Au- gusta, Ga., in the Sally league. Clark made such a record down there that he was recalled in mid-season and made good with the Barons from the jump. He played here until the war came along and then he entered the service. Danny didn't get his discharge from the army early enough to start the season with the Barons in 1919, and there fore, when he did break loose from Uncle Sams forces he got d job elsewhere.
