This was Sometimes intentionally ne; in other cases it resulted from misunderstanding, long foreign names being especially susceptible to mis- spelling. When the Records Failed. “Tt thus becomes evident that, mot- withstanding all the effort expended by the War Department in checking the lists of alleged draft deserters, it impossible to determine in every from the records alone whether or not any individual named therein actually performed military service. In such a contingency no other course was open than to call upon the individuals themselves. This was ac- cordingly done repeatedly through every available source. . ‘It &hould be borne in mind that the action of the War Department in publishing these lists is based upon a widespread demand that the offense of those men who failed to meet their obligation to do military duty during the mation’s time of peril be not con- doned and that steps be taken to ap- prehend and bring to trial every man who was guilty of willful desertion. | lishing List of War Dodgers.

STABLE MONEY LEAGUE TO ORGANIZE HERE SOON Will Formulate Plans to Keep Purchasing Power of Dol- lar Steady. Organization of the Stable Money League, whose ultimate object is the | establishment of a dollar “which will | buy a dollar)s worth of the neces- saries of life at all times,” is sched- uled for May 28, at the Raleigh Hotel, en a group of proponents of stab- ization of the purchasing unit will form a league to advocate and ad- vance such principles. A recent dinner meeting was held here to discuss plans for the forma- tion of a national organization. It resulted in the appointment of en organizing committee. This commit- tee, according to an announcement, has enlisted a large number of pro- ponents of the plan, drawn from com- mercial, banking, economic, profes- sional and general public welfare en- terprises. The meeting will open on the 28th, at 10 o'clock, and continue until noon. It will be devoted to organization. | During the afternoon from 2 to 5! papers on the subject Wwill be read i and discussed. 2 Under plans of the organizing com- mittee various grades of membership will be established to “fit every size of pocketbook and every degree of interest.” A circular of the organization com- mittee says “the committee believes that this is the most effective way to further stabilization and is an op- portunity which may not occur again for many years.” “It is your privilege” says the circular, “to help achieve a standard of value which will give to the en- tire business world g stability never before possible and thereby remove a large part of existing and con- stantly recurring social injustice, in- efficiency and discontent.” The circular also calls attention to the fact that for 100 years scien- tific criticism has centered upon “civ- flization’s greatest tool—money.” “Every standard has been stabfl- ized except the standard of money,” it says. _“Dollars, pounds, francs—all it is a_common oc- | ‘men bearing | Thero were | | and more than | iety of i ity and oftentimes descriptions_do | fre- | Under these conditions | fluctuate and always have fluctuated lar has danced so wildly uph New Haven, Conn.. and Troup of and widely. _Acute minds have long|Ralph W.
