When the Esmera went down off

German submarine fired landed close
to the gun shield and l was hit on
the left shoulder, in the excitement
it did not even hurt. When the sub
marine came in too close we threw
out smoke boxes and lost trace of
the boat. 1t was only then that I
discovered that my left arm and
side were full of blood. On an
other occasion when 1 was on the

DETER MINED
CAMPAIGN ON TO
ROUT OUT GRAFT
Raincoat Scandal in New
York Broadens to Cover
Other Army Contracts

Washington, July 25.-with the
raincoat scandal in New York
branching out to cover overcoats,
uniforms, leggings and shoes, the
War Department and the Depart
ment of Justice let il be known yes
terday that a determined campaign
is on to rout out graft in connection
with furnishing supplies for the
army. An investigation by Congress
also impends.
A formal statement from the War
Department yesterday said:
Robert J. Thorne, assistant to the
acting quartermaster general after
preliminary investigation in re-
gard 10 the rainCoat inspection scan
dal in New York. states that any
suspicion of the integrity of the
army officers is apparently without
a shred of evidence TO suhstantiate
the statements. The entire situation
has been greatly magnified to the en-
tent that a grave Injustice is being
done to the reputation of the army
officers.
Calls Charge Magnified
1T is impossible to meet the
emergency of suddenly equipping the
army without a few sporadic in
stances of dishonesty coming to the
surface, but it is an outrage to have
such instances magnified into an un-
just accusation of army officers; but
fortunately. the integrity of the
army officers is so we'll understood
by the general public that very few
people give any credence TO these
unfounded accusations
The investigation of the raincoat
inspection system was made at the
instigation of the Quartermaster
Corps, which realized that with
thousands of new civilian inspectors
obtained through the Civil Service
Commission, here and there dis
honest one would be taken on. 1t is
firmly believed by the department
that the final inspection conducted
at the depot will detect all raincoats
not properly fabricated"
Information shedding light on
methods by which manufacturers
were able to evade rigid inspection
tests and pass inferior articles to fill
government contracts is understood
to have been gathered from new con-
fessions of some of the eighteen rain
coat contractors under arrest in New
York, charged with bribery, fraud
or conspiracy.
Action will be taken against the
other manufacturers as rapidly as
specific proof of fraud is developed,
it was said In some cases officials
plan to give publicity to the prac-
tees without undertaking criminal
prosecutions. The reason for this, IL
was explained, is that government
agents have evidence of irregularity
and profiteering in hundreds of con-
tracts without the substantiating
proof on which conviction might be
based
