STOCK SN|ND[ER. JET. FEDERAL NOTICE
Stock Exchange Man Says Willingness To Take Lib erty Bonds Is Earmark Of Modern Swindler.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Opera- tions of stock swindlers, growing larg- CT daily as the market created by the campaigns for the sale of Liberty bonds is realized upon, were declared by bankers and government officials ap- bearing before the federal trade com- mission today to be a prime cause in social unrest. The committee was holding hearings to determine whether it has power to stop such operations.
 Charles $. Hamlin of the federal re- serve board, said the capital issues commission, which functioned during the war. had no effective power now although reports coming to it's atten- ton. showed a revival of fake secur- ity selling
 "The earmark of the stock swindler today is his enthusiastic willingness 10 take Liberty bonds in exchange for the paper sells" said Jason Wester- welt, representing the New York stock exchange.
 ''we have investigated 13 national swindlers during the last year." Rich ard H. Lee, representing the vigilance committee of the Associated Ad Clubs, testified. "and we have found that the machinery at the disposition of the postoffice department is not sufficient | to meet the need.
 "The good crook will fight, remem- Der. taking advantage of every techni- cality. The epidemic of motor promo tions. which we fought with some suc- cess. is giving way to oil scheme. .Legi- timate business concerns, striving to protect their reputation, only serve tc advertise the ingenious promoter when | they are attacked through the civi courts.
 There are not so many of the sue | cessful promoters as one would sup pose, and if you start out, you vii | find them all in one group. l Will you lend us your rogue's gal. lery if we find a chance to intervene, asked Chairman Colver.
 Gladly the witness said. "We ar, only in the work in order to justify tn, faith that readers have lin advertise ment. Any government agency that vii act and give it's action publicity. vii stop the business. The banker and tn
 business man have all their warming discounted because the swindler yell trust and big busines' and make | their attack an advertisement" Representative Taylor of Colorad
 said that the marvellous facility fo
 circumventing statutes" possessed b.
 the swindlers, made most of the stat
 blue sky" commissions more or les
 helpless. He promised that congres
 sional action would be forthcoming
 the committee deemed it spresen
 powers insufficient.

 The American troops affected are the 3S9th infantry and one battalion of the 210th engineers. all draft forces entitled to demobilization after the conclusion of the war.
 De Witt c. Poole, IT,. counsellor of the American embassy, has issued the following statement:
 Tn connection with the Washington announcement, the American embassy in Archangel states it understands this announcement relates only to the dis position of the American troops now here. It does not determine one way or another the general question of the continucs- presence of an American force in northern Russia, nor is it un- derstood to disclose a decision as to the future American policy in Russia De- termination of this awaits upon a fur ther discussion by the peace confer ence at Paris.
 From a consultation with transpor tation authorities 1t appears that with normal ice conditions the earliest pos sfble moment at which considerable bodies of troops can be moved from Archangel will be in June"
