Salem A i tor removing the names
of 51 Oregon soldiers and sauo
which he found erroneously includ
ed in the government's official list
of local draft deserters, Ceori.e A.
White, adjulant-gcroral of tho suite,
has telegraphed tho federal author
ities at Washington for sanction to
proceed with a state-wfile roundup
of established draft dodgers.
If, after a reasonable delay for
checking purposes, the government
takes no action, Colonel White indi
cated that he would favor action by
the various states in rounding up the
thousands of slackers and turning
them over to the nearest military
posts as dosoorters.
County sheriffs, acting in conjunc
tion with ex-service men's orpraniza-!
j
tions and patriotic bodies, could mskei
short work of locating those still iv. j

Opposition to publication of the j
net- l:nil iv.w! lwmr, Uiiroii . : ;i I T ,
men who were in service during the
war and who erroneously were re
ported by draft boards, was tele
graphed by the adjutant-general 'o
the national commander of the Amer
ican Legion who has demanded the
immediate release of the wikko list
to the pv. s? of the country. Colonel
White --ailed Commander GalbnvthN
attention to the wholesale errors
found in Oregon in the governtnonn's
list, and asked his co-ppera'ion ir
expediting corrections and in with
holding the names until the list s
corm-t ed.
'Once a man has been her-U-;-J
publicly as a draft dodger it wil: be
difficult, if not impossble for ,'. n
to explain," Sir. White said. "Men
who did not report to the draft board
because of having enlitpd and rone
to the front never should be put in
that position.
"At the same time this need not
prevent or halt the roundup of draft
dodgers the country over. Lists of
draft deserters in each county can
be reported to the local authorities,
with requests for their arrest, as rap
idly as the lists are cleared of ex
service men. .
"In all but 12 counties of Oreson
the lists of Oregon draft deserters I
could be turned over to the auth
orities now for action. These lists
have been revised in every county
excepting If, where, county clerks
have failed to give proper co-operation
in checking the lists. Other
means of covering these counties will
be adopted."
There are two lists of draft desert
ers at Washington, Colonel White ox
plained. One contains 175,000 names
of wilful draft deserters. These are
men who failed or refused to rosponn.
It was from this list, as applying to
Oregon, that the 51 ex-service men
were removed. The other list is made
up of 1S1.000 names of men charged
as draft dodgers for technical rea
sons, and whose records the govern
ment has stated, can be cleared.
These men are not listed for prosecu
tion, as are the liS.imu.
"Military courts are charged with
the trial of all men apprehended,"
said Colonel White. "The procedure
is to turn the deserters over to the
nearest military post. It is a deplor-
ame met unit praciujuiy iiuuui'k na?
been done by the government since
the war ended to round up these of- j
fenders. The whole problem should
have been dealt with long ago, as it
is difficult to see any other obstacle
to a roundup than a set disinclination
to act." '
xmk hundred and sixty-three mn't
now remain on the Oregon slacker
list, after deducting tho l names of
soldiers and sailors. Of these Mult-rc-mah
ynurty contributed Sltl, lor
nearly half. Clatsop county stands
second on the li.-.t with 5 t. But three j
counties returned a clean slate i
Wheeler, Lincoln and Benton not a
sntgle draft deserter appearing in any ;
of these counties.
Of the 51 names removed by Col
onel White from the official list, 17
were overseas soldiers, 3 were kil
led in the war and their names ap
pear on the state's honor roll. 15
served in the navy and the others
served in the army in the United
States. An investigation rf the

Faulty Chimneys Cause Fire.
A summary of the various causes
of Are shows that those attributable
to chimneys annually amount to from
10 to 20 per cent of the total number,
while 1n winter the percentage has
reached an hlf,'h as 50. This is l(,TiIf
Icant when it is reullzed that most
of these fires result from carelessness
and could be avoided by proper attention.
In cities and towns with nroner fire
protection many fires are arrested
without serious loss. It is evident that
In rural districts where there are no
organized fire-fighting agencies, and
where a fire usually results in a total
loss, builders should j;lve more atten
tion to making the construction of all
new chimneys as nearly fireproof as
possible.

Future Belongs to Small City.
It would be rash to conclude from
the census figures that the problem
of a belter distribution of population
Is unsolvable. The fact that the small
cities show the greatest gains is sig
nificant. These obviously permit
freer living conditions than Die largo
cities and at the same time nre free
from the isolation of the village or
the widely scattered homesteads. The
small city in these days prides itself
upon Its "metropolitan" aspect. It
Is conspicouously up-to-date and pro
vides comfortable living. The tenden
cy of Industrial enterprises to seek lo
cations at a distance from the centers
of population ha had much tn iln
with the upbuilding of cities of this
type.
