PLANES IN MISSION WORK
Gospel Workers Believe They Can
Be of Considerable Value in
Spreading the Word.

A flying boat or an airplane may
soon form a part of the equipment of
modern missions in Africa, according
to a letter received by a motor corpo-
ration from the Congo mission of the
Disciples of Christ, the headquarters
of which are at Coquilhartville, Bel
gian Congo, says the New York Eve
ming Sun.
"We are interested in the matter of
the purchase of flying boats to replace
wholly or in part the fleet of launches
which we have been planning for serv-
ice in communication between our va
rious stations" the letter stated. "we
have a large river steamer for trans
pOrtation between stations which sea-
planes might supply. Our area is
about 500 miles east and west and 200
miles north and south in extent.
1.-THE whole area is covered well by
an extensive system of waterways. In
inland points landings might be made
in small machines in the straight,
smooth, central streets of the native
towns, which in this section are usual
ly clear of grass and other obstruc-
tons and are not less than 100 feet
wide"

GIGANTIC PLOT TO FLOOD U. o.
WITH BOGUS BONDS is
UNCOVERED.
SW|NDLE GOVERNMENT
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INVOLVED
IN BIG SWlNDLE LAID
BARE.


Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chicago, Sept. S.-A score of men
have been arrested by detectives from
the states attorneys office in a series
of raids throughout the city,
ing "A gigantic plot to flood the coun-
try with counterfeit and forged gov
ernment securities. The detectives OPP
Grated under Detective Sergt. John
Murphy. 1t was learned ut the prose-
Cutor's office that the gang, whose,
headquarters are in Chicago, has oper
ated for months. Its profits may reach
more II Il Il million dollars. The plot
was characterized as one of the great
est Swindling operations directed
against the federal government in the
history of the country. Practically ev-
cry state in the country was covered
by the activities of the counterfeiters.
This new combine is said to be dis
tinct from the II revealed through
the arrest of Henry i. Smith, an in
surance broker, who is charged with
being a member of a crime trust which
during the last IA is said to have
collected loot of approximately $1,000
900.
For a long time federal agents, Sc
cret service men, Pinkertons and the
local police have been working to get
a line on the leaders of the counter
feiting gang.
1t is said that the inspiration for the
inception of the gang came at a time
that the country was absorbed in tn,
sale of Liberty bonds. AT the time
bonds were bought n sold with the
utmost freedom. Thousands of volun-
teers were on the street selling bonds.
Scores of individuals and concerns
throughout the country began to do a
thriving business in the purchase of
Liberty bonds. Their activities were
condemned. 1t was held a patriotic
duty not to sell bonds. Nevertheless
thousands of persons, pinched by need
of funds, found it necessary to sell
their bonds and war savings stamps.
1t was here that the gang began its
initial activities, selling counterfeit
| bonds and certificates to the brokers
who made a business of it.
Coincidentally, the secret service
bureau noticed a strange manifesto
ton. There appeared to be an abrupt
and inexplicable decline in the activi
| ties of those who manufactured n
showed the queer"-counterfeiters
who specialized on bank notes.
Then certain banks paying interest
on registered Liberty bonds found
there were unregistered bonds with
the same numerals.
Several nationally known counter
feiters and swindlers were identified
with the gang. 1t was discovered that
the fraudulent bonds and securities
had beer sold to. banks without n
trouble. They were accepted with the
most casual scrutiny. Nobody ques-
toned Liberty bonds.
