COunterfeiter Shortage
Another Result of War

Washington. - The war has
caused a shortage even of coun-
terfeiters.
The spurious ten-dollar note,
the fashioning OF which was the
favorIte indoor sport of a group
of skilled imitators, has prac-
tically disappeared, II was said
by secret service operatives. who
are inclined TO the belief that
the slump is directly due to the
war. 1t was thought that the
foreign members of these bands
had been rounded up In the
mobilization of reservists. and
that the Americans had been
taken In the draft. However,
secret service operatives are not
resting on their oars. On the
contrary, recognizing the possi-
bIlity Of new talent appearing
almost at any time, they are
continuing to subject the Ea-
TONS paper currency to the
closest scrutiny.
