WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. — First
steps have been taken toward the ap- '
prehension of national army slackers I
by the announcement through govern
mental channels that a reward of $50 j
will be paid to civilians for the deliv
ery of any person liable for military !
service to the nearest military reser
vation or cantonment camp.
This reward will be paid to any per
son not in the military service of the
United States including all local, coun
ty and state police authorities. The
war departments expects to see imme
diate results from the offer, since
hundreds of men selected for service
have not answered the call.
This is the first move in a campaign
fthat is intended to become nation
wide in searcrh for the "pink sheet
I men," as the national army slackers
are called. They are termed “pink
sheet men" for the reason that when
they failed to appear their names were
placed on a pink sheet and they were
certified for service in the national
army. Although the complete plan
for the round-up of these men has not
been made, it probably will bring into
action operatives of the department of
justice as well as agencies of the war
department.
When the complete plan is ready,
the people in every city in the nation
and constables in the rural districts
will be asked to begin a search for
the men who have not answered the
call. The search will be systematized
possibly under the direction of the
bureau of investigation, so that an
agency may be formed for receiving i
addresses of men who have left the
vicinity in which they registered and
through which information in regard
to men who are attempting to evade
service may be used to run them
down.
While no estimate of the number of
men who have evaded service is avail
able, it is gnown that the number is
high, especially in the more thickly
populated cities where the floating
population is large. In the rural dis- j
tricts comparately few names have
been placed on the pink sheets, but in
New York. Chicago and other large
cities the number is too great to es-!
cape attention.
Technically thcae men are deserters
from the army in time of war and the
death sentence may be imposed on
them. Furthermore, they are liable
to ge&iteutlary sentences under the
selective draft act, so that punishment
able, it is known that the number is
ers. Whether they will be tried by
court-martial as deserters or in the
civil courts under the selective draft
law has jio.t yet been determined. It
is specially provided in the selective
draft act that persons sent to prison
for violation of the act. must, at the
end of their sentence, serve in the na
tlonal army the same as if they had
?•: not been punished. In some cases
three or four months in prison or the
JS guard house may suffice, while in;
others a year’s imprisonment may be i
_ IUC IC’l out.
In the case of persons inciting op- \
position to the selective draft at this
((t* time, even more drastic sentences will
be given. The provost marshal gen- ;
eral's office is giving practically all
its attention to the subject at this j
time. Demands from all over the j
nation have come in for the round-up 1
of the slackers. Complete plans for j
the nation-wide search will be an- j
nounced by the provost marshal gen- j
eral's office as soon as completed.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 16—A larger
number of people than ever before
visited the national forests of Cali
fornia this summer according to Luth
er Whltmaji of the Forest Service.
It Is estimated that at least a mil
lion travelers, campers and sportsmen
visited the 18 national Forests in Cal
ifornia for recreation purposes this
season—the greatest number visiting
the forests of this state in the his
tory of the Forest Service. The au
tomobile traffic was particularly ;
heavy.
The increased popularity of the
National Forests for reacreation pur
poses was credited in part to Mr.
Whitman to the advertising of the un
usual wonders and beauties of Cali
fornia’s mountains by the Forest Ser
vice, and to the distribution of thou
sands of maps, posters and handbooks
Informing the public just where to go
and what to see. The construction
and improvement of the roads and
trails and the excellence of fishing
and hunting conditions In most of the
forests, due largely to the protection
of the game by the Forest Rangers,
is also responsible for a large num
ber of visitors,, it was said.
The opportunities to acquire with
out red tape and at low cost long
term leases of land in the Forests
upon which summer homes and per
manent camps may be constructed al
so serve to bring many people into ,
the mountains who would otherwise
on nlcau'Vineo
In the Angeles Forest alone more
than Too permits have been issued
for summer home and permanent
camp purposes. Lots that have been
surveyed by the Forest Service on
the shores of Huntington Lake, Lake
Tahoe and along the Feather River
Canyon are also in great demand.
The renting of larger tracts by sev
eral churches, clubs, schools and muni
cipalities for recreation uses is also
becominj^popular in California. The
playground commissions of three of
the largest cities in the state have
acquired lands for this purpose, and
the playground commissions of other
cities have this project under con
sideration.
