LONDON, Oct. 19.—(By Mail.)—
American men of military age who
come to England just now had better
bring along their birth certificates.
They will need them and more to
convince the British authorities they
are not super slackers.
The super slackers—men who have
failed to register under the military
conscription aot—are daily falling into
the net which the war office has set
for them. Americans are being netted
in almost every haul. If they fail to
have the documentary evidence handy
they are liable to remain'1 “guests” of
the London police until someone in
Ambassador Page’s embassy can look
up the records.
When a crowded tube train arrived
at its terminus a few days ago, the
male passengers were herded into a
big enclosure. Two men who had
evaded conscription wept. Others
hastily sent for their wives and the
necessary papers. An American news
paperman, whose name is well known
to readers of a big New York paper,
was in the “catch.”
He proved his identity when the op
portunity arose and was freed. The
authorities, however, led a score of
men off to the district police station,
where they spent the night. More
than half were super slackers.
The raid system is only a part of
the big campaign to rope in the mili
tary shirkers. Careful examination
of registration cards held by all aliens
is going forward. The Americans,
as well as Dutch, Spanish, Swiss, Ar
gentinans and other neutrals are re
quired to show why they are not serv
ing in the British army. They answer
that they are neutral. The swift re
ply is “Prove it.” Here’s how one
American proved it.
The mail brought a document re
questing him to appear at a big re
cruiting office September 2 to join
“His Majesty’s Forces.” The Ameri
can wrote the recruiting officer that
he was an American citizen and there
fore exempt. Twelve hours later,
back came the officer’s. answer.
-"Prove .V
The American mailed his passport,
issued by the state department at
Washington and enclosed a courteois
note suggesting that this “should
| eliminate all do’.bt.” The passport
! got lost in the mail. September 2
I was drawing near and three days later
there was no word from the recruit
ing officer. This meant that a pair of
soldiers would probably appear soon
at the American’s doorstep and take
him along as a super slacker. He
called the offier on the telephone.
“I've sent you my passport; isn’t
that proof enough?” he queried.
“Makes no difference,” was the re
ply. “You may be an American all
right, but you’ll have to prove it.”
So the American proved it by hav
ing the American embassy write the
recruiting officer a letter. Then the
recruiter apologized.
It is one of the many narrow es
capes from khaki that Americans are
having just, now.

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
