that there are more' than five - hundred de

regard themselves .as escapes and vainly
imagine that the war is over; but let such
remember that Under the law they are liable
for this neglect to fine or imprisonment, or
both, in the discretion of . the Criminal
Court. The State law makes the omission to
list a misdemeanor, and as a large majority
of the delinquents may have procrastinated
in the matter without any purpose to evade
their duty, we hope the Chairman of the

proper to eive another opportunity to
escape the penalty the statute denounces
against them.
