DRESS IN KHAKI TO
 ELUDE THE POLICE

Thieves in khaki have been causing Scotland Yard an endless amount of work recently. Some new tricks of the thieves trade is almost a daily devel- opment, as one of the outcomes of the war.
 The London pickpocket who has es- capped military service has found his profession more profitable, with fewer chances of detection, when attired in the uniform of British soldier. The pickpocket usually wears the garb of d private. But it is the thief or the forger in the uniform of an army off cer working on larger scale who has been the chief concern of the Scotland Yard detectives.
 Crime in London decreased mater tally with the beginning of war, but it is now on the increase. Thieves and criminals generally have been educat- ing themselves to take advantage of the situation brought about by the presence of great numbers of men in uniform. The police are as busy as in the days before the war began.
 One of the methods used by spuri- ous check writer is to make friends at a boarding house or hotel or store and tNcIiIudlly reveal d lOuCIllHS SIOIy OI hard luck. After a few days acquaint- ance he will offer a check. The better acquainted he has become with his vic tim the larger is the amount of the c h e k. In several instances the wounded officer" made "headquar- ters" in three places in one district and succeeded in cashing a check at each place, all the same day. When the po- i lice arrived of course he had moved and there was nothing left behind but l memories and the worthless check. The amounts of the checks vary, having l reached as much as $500 in several
 cases. But s100 or $50 is the amount | more commonly used by the forger or the pretended wounded officer who | claims to have money in the bank. 1 Two bad-check artists who made the claim that they were Australian off, | cers who had been wounded in battle | worked together, each sympathizing
 with the other, and incidentally getting more sympathy from new acquaint- | ances. And before discovery they sue
 ceeded in cashing checks in several
 London districts. The police found the uniforms, but not the men.
 In an endeavor to keep ahead of the
 activity of the thieves in khaki. Scot.
 land Yard these days is kept busy.
