To bring those guilty to trial, he rec ommends that congress appropriate $250,000 to pay rewards, of $50 for each draft deserter delivered to the -military authorities. “It is imperative," he declares, “that the government exhibit the greatest possible energy in pursuing these men and in punishing all who are found guilty. If the government permit these desers to escape the punishment pro vided for their offense, consequences of the gravest import will certainly ensue. “Inaction of this sort would tend to set a premium on evasion of military service with the inevitable result that, should another national emergency (Copy tor TbU Department Supplied the American Lerlon Newe Service.)

Haley, Canadian Soldier, Serves Time to Save No Man's Land Comrade. A story of personal sacrifice,- unique In annals of the World war, is that of Harry W. Haley, who served In Leavenworth prison to repay a war-time buddy for his life. Haley has written the American Legion the first account of his action. Wounded and left in no man’s land, Ifaley, a Canadian soldier, was slowly dying from loss of blood when he was picked up by Private Thomas G. Jones, an American. After taking his buddy to safety, Jones disappeared. Back in the lines again, /laley was captured by the Germans and lost all trace of his rescuer. . On May 20. 1921, Haley arrived at the home Of his sweetheart In Canada. His wedding was to occur at 8 o’clock and the guests were assembled. Then Private Jones reappeared.
