FAKE WAR FUNDS
NET MILLIONS IN
NEW YORK CITY

New York, June 28.-Backers OF
prises and soliciting schemes de-
frauded the public of between
$2,000,000 and 100000 in New
York city during the last year, ac-
cording to a review of evidence
presented to a special county grand
jury by District Attorney Swami
during its investigation which
terminated today.
Its investigation Of more than
800 organizations has resulted in
the breaking up of gangs of Eff
ty-fifty" solicitors and 'one hun
dred per cent boys" a statement
filed with the court by the grand
jury said
The fifty fifty" workers were
defined as those who pocketed
half of the donations they OBJ
tanned. The hundred percent
boys" are described as grafters
who sidetracked their entire col
lections to their own account.
Some of the more prolific graft
ing schemes flourished under high
sounding names which literally
reeked" with patriotism. Not a
few of these Haunted an imposing
array of prominent persons on
richly engraved stationery. These
persons. for the most part, the
grand jury says, were the unsus-
pocting tools of crafty promoters
who were duped into permitting
the use of their names as officers
or members of committees, think
ing they were lending assistance
and prestige to worthy enterprises.

CAMP DIX MEN
"ROAST" ACTORS
Complain That Liberty Theatre
Shows Are Of Third Class
Material.

Camp Dix. Wrightstown, N. j., April
4.-Miserablc performances staged at the
Liberty Theatre here by alleged profess
sional talent are threatening to rob this
enterprise for which hundreds of thou
sands of "Smileage Books have been
sold throughout the country, OF much OF
it's anticipated value as an entertainment
feature. Officers and enlisted men of
the camp have been complaining OF the
poor character of the recent plays, espe-
cially the musical comedies" and at
division headquarters yesterday 1t was
admitted that the matter has been taken
up with the War Department Commis-
sion on Training Camp Activities, which
backs the Liberty Theatre scheme and
has been booking the camp program
through New York agency.
Lieutenant Colonel w. &. Johnson, as
sistant chief of staff, commenting on the
widespread 'kicks" against shows that
many officers declare could not "gnt by
in tank towns, said he hsd taken up the
matter with the commission, and also
with Manager William Wheeler, at the
Liberty Theatre. The commission blames
the booking agency. Manager Wheeler
admitted that four shows tried out here
have been withdrawn from the camp
circuit upon his report.
Manager Wheeler's defence Of some
of the musical comedies would indicate
that Camp Dix has IA more critical taste
than other cantonments. Some OF the
plays most emphatically roasted by
audiences here, he declared, have made
such hits at other camps that return
engagements have been demanded.
Burlington county boys, arriving this
week and assigned 10 the 303d Sanitary
Train, were witnesses of an unusual
ceremony marking the promotion of
Major Webster Calvin 20 lieutenant COL
onel Of this organization. Five months
ago this young Pennsylvania entered
the 18th Division here as first leu
tenant, graduated in the officers re-
serve from Fort Oglethorpc. His ctil-
cient manner Of graphing with sanitary
problems attracted the attention OF Col
onel c. Nj Ekwurgel, division surgeon,
and his rapid-hre promotions, first TO
captain, then TO major, and now To
lieutenant colonel resulted
A circus parade made a tour Of the can
tonment yestMday, and hundreds Of
visitors attended the first Of the per-
formances in the big tent of the Red
Triangle Auditorium, whore professional
and soldier talent kept them entertained
for two hours Of solid fun The circus
will be open each night the balance of
the week and VIII give a big matinee
performance Saturday afternoon. Major
Edward A. Freeman is head of the cir
Gus committee and Captain Dudley is

mocracy in q republic; sovereign Nation
of many sovereign States; perfect Union,

II therefore believe IL is my duty to my
Country 20 love it,; 10 support its Consti-
tuition; 10 obey its laws; to respect its flag;
and 10 defend IL against all enemies "
