A total of 337,649 persons was listed as draft deserters in the World War, but 163,738 of them were apprehended and dealt with before July 15, 1919. Only some 160.000 escaped the conscription machine entirely. Although the number of deserters was large compared with the number actually inducted into the Army, it was small in comparison to the 24,234,021 who answered the three registrations. Army records disclose that 55.368 members of religious bodies opposed to war professed noncombatant religious creeds between June 5 and Sept. 11, 1918. Total claims for noncombatant classification were 64.693, but only 56,830 were recognized. United States Military Expenditures Source: The Treasury Department Year Year (Fisc.) War Dept. (Fisc.)
