NEW YORK.
Lafayette Post recently passed resolutions to
guard against fraud in the pension list 1t is
the opinion of the Post that members of the
Order could render useful and active assist
ance in exposing frauds upon the list If printed
copies of the existing list should be sent TO the
Assistant Adiutants- General of the various
States, the list bearing the name of the pen
sioners who resided in the States covered by
the different Departments. They request that
enough of these lists be printed so that each
Post could be supplied with one, and that If
any frauds be discovered for the Posts to take
immediate steps toward notifying the proper
officials A similar list is also suggested of APP
plicants for pensions, so that if there are any
facts against them they can be brought for
ward. The resolutions were forwarded to
Commander-in-C hief Weissert who approves
them, although adding it remained for the Ma
tional Encampment to determine which meth
DDS are the best to cooperate with the Ma
tional Government in securing the desired
objects.

Department Commander Frank Seaman has
issued circular to the various Posts, on which
is printed letter from the COmmander-in-
Chief. Gen. Weissert says in his letter: In
addition to your present roster, add here and
there a Post Clean up the suspended list
Wipe out the record of dropped members by
restoring them, and muster all who can be
reached. Induce comrades to urge neighbors
who are eligible to join the ranks. | know
you are scattered, and that many comrades
plead distance from Post as reason for not
joining the Order. Start Pickets of the Post
in such localities as you are now doing
so successfully. Memorial Day and one or two
meetings year with the Post beats isolation
and single effort out of sight. Nothing but
united work and persistent effort along the
whole line can give the results we all want, and
which we intend to have.
