Deserters from the U S Army Highlighted by Government Circulars
City detectives received government circulars listing more than two hundred deserters since April 1909. Posters offer a $50 reward for arrests and delivery to military authorities. More than half the deserters are foreigners who enlisted recently, often after bad winter work. Most had served six to eight months. Desertion appears linked to harsh duty and lack of penalties beyond five years after enlistment, a contrast to other nations.
