' TilSAVEAwpilTII, Kan.V Sept. 22.-f The "slackers" of tho world war are soon to receive the Inevitable sentences that military justice demands, Ulglit men, who (were convicted of draft evasion and who hail from all sections of. the central west, are now serving time at the disciplinary bar racks at Leavenworth. These eight men are the first of a long list who are expected to be punished. , The sentences of the men range from one to five years at hard labor. The court martial awards are being tarried out to the "letter," in regard to the Imprisoned slackers. Some are working on the prison farm; others are building roads, and the rest are la boring In the barracks shops. "By the latter part,of September," one officer said, "we expect to be re ceiving a steady stream of. convicted draft evaders from all parts of the United States cast of tho Rocky mountains." Karnes appearing on the lists of draft dodgers which are being issued by various array posts throughout the country, are being carefully checked by government agents who are, work ing In conjunction with army officers to put the army slackers In "the city of silent men."

One of the. most unusual cases on record of transportation of an injured man by airplane has Just come to light In a report to the Navy Department from the commander of the Fourth Air .Sqaoron. Marine Corps, in Haiti, Recently an urgent call was received in Port au Prince, Haiti, requesting aerial transportation for a case at Xaissade, in the inland jungle of that island, to the hospital at Port au Prince, on the coast, Lieutenant.. Kenneth B. Collings. "a Marine flying officer, at once started for Maissade In a DH-4B plane. On his arrival, however, he "was met with a problem. Transportation of wound ed and sick by air is a common thinir ia the island, where roads are rudi mentary and at times bandit-Infested but this case was special. The injured man was badly mangled so that he had to be put In splints from head, to foot and accordingly could not be car ried in the usual way, upright, tn the cock-pit of tho machine His condi tion was critical and. hospital attention was urgent. The injured man accordingly was bandaged to the eyes, given a sdeoial face mask, wrapped securely to a six foot plank, with a blanket, given a helmet and goggles, and lashed to the wing of the machine, close to the fuse lage or "body." ... The man was given a morphine in jection and, unconscious most of tho time, "stood the trip better than ex pected," according to the report. The bulk of this bundle on the wings mado the flying "rather difficult," the report commented. It required thirty five minute&to make a trip that other wise .would have taken hours, or even days, of Jolting and travel. In forwarding the report It . was urged that the servtco be speedily enulpprd with a type of plane fittod to carry patients in a, prono positiou, as they are now competed to carry alt cases In an nprirht position In the mucliluo, ' 11 - ': '.a Ml . : ' S I - 1 i v, i .- ' ,p .':; PENDLETON OREGON - ' MANUFACTURERS 0I!j vpW T 'I t .
