 Dear Fellow Amateur:

Not only are these young men ignored. but the bill is likely to be pushed through while they are absent m their cOuutry's service and rendered mute hy military regulations, and for oidden 10 appeal on their own behalf.
 Our American Radio Relay League officers are fighting hard, but we are only handful Alone. We cannot make he congressman in N shington appre- rlate the importance of amateur wire Iess. You must help us You must write letter immediately upon receiving his card. and see that it is mailed be- ore the sun goes down tonight 10 your representative and also your senator in congress.

Where Story Orlqinated

WASHINGTON. Dec. PA letter rom Brig. General Lord, director of fi- nance of the war department. explain ing delay in paying wounded and sick soldiers was received today by Chair man Sherley Of the house approprl- ttions committee.
 With but few exceptions said the letter, 'the enlisted men who have heen returned from France have ar rived in this country without service records and without any other papers which contained a statement of their accounts, thereby making it impossible 10 determine what pay. if any, was due 10 them.
 There has been no lack of effort on Inc part of the war department to ef- feet payment at least in part. 10 tho patients returning from overseas. but it IS apparent that full payment can be made to these men only by accepting their own statements. as to the date 10 which they were last paid" the letter said. adding that this had been done m some instances, while in others par nal payments re being made so the men will not be without funds.
 General Lord said an officer has been sent 10 West Baden. Indiana to investi- gate complaint that many soldiers are there without funds due to them. It was this complaint that led to criticism, yesterday in the house.

RUN DOWN. RUMORS
 IF UNPAID WAGES

WASHINGTON, Dee. 12.-Whne TO specific complaint has reached Ma ior Gcneral Ireland. surgeon general of t1e army that men ir hospitals in this country had not been paid prompt r. Secretary Baker believes ii possible 4ydt there are many of fho wounded ld sick soldiers brought home from France who probably have not re- 'cived their pay for several months
 The secretary explained today that tr' old pay system under which com rUN commanders made out payrolis or aU men on their company rosters had broken down because wounded and sick men became so separated from their commands that it was impossible for the company commanders to know what had become of them.
 To offset this, new system of in diNidual pay books was inaugursted. Mir. Baker said, but because of the great size of the force in France. it has not vet been brought into com plete operation.
 The war secretary said that on his return from France recently he is Ied instructions that no men be em- parked from France except with com plete outfits of clothing and with enough money 10 provide them with unds for incidental needs on the jour nev and for some time at the hospitals 3 this country.

any good reason il is necessary for them
to turn their bonds into cash taey should
seek the advice OF their bankers.
Liberty loan bonds are very desirable
Investments, ana crafty individuals are
using various means to secure the m from
owners not familiar with stock values and
like matters. One method is TO offer TO
exchange for Liberty bonds stocks or
bonds Of doubtful organizations repre-
sented as returning a much higher income
than the bonds.
There are various other methods used
and likely TO be used. some OF the gold
brick variety and others less crude and
probably within the limits of the law.
All offers for Liberty bonds except for
money and at market value should be
scrutiniged carefully. The bonds are the
safest Of Investments and have non-taxable

To hold your Liberty loan bonds, il
