1SSUING SLACKER LISTS RETARDED Local Boards Fail to Check 0ff Names Undeservedly Recorded. Adjt. Gen. Harris says that In spite ©of the efforts of the War Department to expedite the publication of the lista of alleged draft deserters, that work Is being seriously retarded hy the fallure of some of those check- ing the lists to return them promptly to the department. “Hundreds of lists,” said Gen. Har- ris, “have been sent to former mem- bers of local boards and state ad- 4flllnt generals, as well as to Ameri- an Leglon posts and ather organi- zations, in order that they may be checked with a view to removing the names of tbose men who ren~ dered honorable service during the war in either the Army, Navy or Marine Corps, who died subsequent to registration and whe, under the ‘War Department policy, are entitled to have their names removed from the lists of men who stand charged on the official records with desertion from the draft. Ample time for checking has been allowed. and it is believed that all the lists should have been returned to the department by this time. In many. instances the attention of those Wworking on the lists has been invited to the urgency of returning the liats promptly Nevertheless, many lists are still in the hands of local hoard members and state adjutant generals, and in view of the’ fact that sufficient time has been allowed for checking the lists, it will be necessary, unless they are returned in a short time, for the department to set a date at which they will be published, regardiesa of whether or not the lists have been returned to the War Department. It is essentlal, therefore. that local rd members and state adjutant generals expedite the work of check- ing the lists of alleged draft desert- ers, in order that the publication of the lists may not be retarded fur- ther.” In an accompanying table it is shown that none of the lists semt to the adjutant generals of Maryland and Utah has been returned and that forty-one lists are held by the ad- jutant general of Indiana, thirteen by the adjutant general of West Vir- ginia, and six by the adjutant gen- eral of Wyoming. Two lists are held by local boards in the District of Co- lumbla, seventy-four by New York rds, forty-four by Massachusetts fifty-five by Pennsylvania forty-two by New Jersey baards, thirty-one by Ohio boards, fif- ty-four by Tllinols hoards. thirty by Georgia and California boards, twenty by Virginia boards and smaller num. s by boards in various other states THE WEATHER.

Lafayette Post. No. 9, the American Legian, at its last meeting adopted reselutions holding that the tody of the unknown American soldier. killed in France, which is to be buried here Armisti e day, be buried within fifty feet and on a line runniny parallel with Pennsylvania avenue, west of the Lafayetta monument, situated in La- fayette Park. 1t is set forth that It the burial be at Arliacton national cemetery, as is proposed, not one in ten visitors |to the National Capital woull visit the shrine of the deceased soldier. The resolutions set forth further that the Capitol building, where it has been suggested also the hody be buried. would nat be & suitable place for the burial, as the Capitol building is not a Westminster Abbey, wlere hundreds of great people are buried, nor is it an Arch of Triumph, com- orative of the victory of war. Let the resting place of the un- known soldier be in the open. where every American citizen can pass by and lift is hat in token of respect to the patrlatism, fidelity and valor of the unknown soldier, and where the slacker or unworthy citizen would be afraid to breathe a word of unjust criticism of the sleeping hero whe « fer n'.'lmu- gave his life to the cause of hu- manity.” John G.
