s3OO,OOO,0OO A YEAR
THE HARVEST IN
STOCK FRAUDS
Amazing Total Gathered by Pro-
motors OF Worthless Stocks.

Stock spectators are the cultiva-
tors of a mire in which hundreds of
thousands of Americans of small means
bog themselves yearly. The fact that
makes their case the more pitiable is
that their number Is made up largely
OF the hard working and industrious
sort, who are the most keenly ambi-
tious to better their financial condi-
ton.
These are the people who lay aside
small sums from their weekly or
monthly pay and then succumb to the
glib promises of vendors of worthless
stocks and bonds.
No less than $500, 000,00O is gathered
in annually, 1t has been estimated by
financial authorities. by these stock
and bond sharks" and their tools have
been exacted from those who could
least afford to lose the money.
In the 1873 years since 1776 no inves-
tor In United States government Sc
curities has been made unable to re-
deem them at par with the promised
interest.
When the rate of per cent interest,
compounded quarterly, was fixed for
War Savings Stamps it was the highest
rental the government had paid for
money since the Civil War.
This high rate was decided upon to
coax into use the small sums lying idle
IN pocketbooks and cupboards. Their
aggregate reached the amazing sum
Of more than $1,000. 900. 600, and should
all of the War Savings Stamps repre-
scented In that investment be held for
redemption in 1923. the profit to the
holders will be approximately $780,
100000.
Buying War Savings Stamps and
keeping them will cheat the "con-
ndence men" of their s300,000,O00 year
ly collection Of easy money"

TWENTY MILLION AMERICANS
PARTNERS OF GOVERNMENT
In One Year This Number Take
Share in Government Finances.

"Cashability" Of War Savings
Stamps is one of their strong points.
They are what bankers call liquid"
that is, ready cash may be obtained
on them easily and promptly. That
fact helps sell them.
The government hopes holders will
not redeem their stamps at this time
when 1t needs all the money 1t has, but
II they wish to do SO, it will willingly
fulfill its promise to pay on demand,
after the legal ten days notice.
During the past year, 20,000,O0
Americans became financial partners
In the government. In the coming year
the number will be doubled or more.
The great instrument for this univer-
sal participation in national finance is
the War Savings Stamps.
War Savings and Thrift stamps offer
an investment of which every one may
take advantage. The investment is
open to everyone who has strength ia
earn a dollar or the will to lay aside
twenty-five cents-a government bono
in which a rich man invests all that
the law allows and to which the poor
est have full access.
If every millionaire in the United
States buys all the War Savings
stamps the law allows, the Treasury
Department will get s1000O0,O00; if
100000 wage workers take each 81
a week, it will equal S1,500,00o,0 1000; II
every school child took 81 month, it
would amount to more than all the
limit memberships.
A dollar a week regularly is the
big Money"

ELkS IN N. Y. TO
BUY HALF MILLION
OF SAVING STAMPS
Each Lodge to Be Allotted Quota
in Sales Campaign.

New York State Elks will buy $780,
600 worth of Thrift Stamps and Saw
ings Stamps during 1919, the Savings
Division of the Treasury Department
has been advised. The State Associa-
ton of Elks, meeting In Albany, en-
Enthusiastically adopted resolution en-
dorsing the National Thrift Campaign
and pledging the members Of the order
to purchase that amount of the securi-
ties which the Government is offering
to aid the thrift movement among the
people of the country.
Gardner B. Perry, Chairman of the
Albany War Savings Committee, mott
fed the Savings Division that the reso-
luton pledging the New York State
Elks to purchase half a million In
stamps was a feature of the Albany
convention. 1t was adopted by accla-
nation, while the band played 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" Each lodge
of Elks In the state will be allotted a
fixed quota of stamps, and the cam
paign for their sale will be conducted
by a Government Thrift Commits
sion" of Elks. Chairman Perry said
that other state organizations are ex-
pected TO make similar pledges.
The action of the New York State
Elks is in line with the thrift cam
paign which is directing the savings of
the people through agricultural, church,
commercial and professional, frater-
nal, women's labor and school organi-
cations.

ARMY PAY
ON 100000 men
House Committee Members
Recommend Appropria-
tions for 1920.

The House Military Affairs Com
mittee yesterday decided to recon-
mend appropriations for army pay
during the fiscal year 1920, based on
a force of 10000. This number is
expected by members OF the commit
tee to be the average for the year.
This decision is not to be taken, it
was made plain, as an indication of
what the permanent military policy
of the future will be. While thi,
figure is to be used as a basis for
providing pay for the army. 1t is not
the intention that the appropriations
for the several branches of the mill
tary establishment will provide for
a permanent organized force of 500, 900
men.
The strength of the army during
the first part of 1890 will be greater
than 10000. committee members stat
ed. AS the process of demobiliza-
ton is carried out, there will be less
than 100000 men in uniform.
The sentiment of, a majority of the
members seems to be that no effort
shall be made during this session
of Congress to adopt a reorganiza-
ton plan.
The committee yesterday reported
out the Military Academy appropria-
tion bill with a total of S2,0S7, So. 20
In addition to this amount, the UNIV
expended balance of sS12,777. is re-
appropriated.

U. S. ATTORNEY
WITNESS IN CASE
Takes Stand in Behalf Of
Government in Book
making Trial. !

For the first time in years, a
prosecuting attorney in a criminal
case has taken the stand as a gov
ernment witness.
Bolithia ]. Laws, Assistant United
States District Attorney, who is as
signed to prosecute the handbook
charge against Frank Mccormick
and Samuel Rappaport, testified yes
terday. on behalf of the government.
Mr.. Laws testimony was confined
to a number of sealed and unsealed
envelopes which are alleged to have
been. entrusted to his care by Maj.
Raymond W. Pullman, after raids
on McCormick's place, 424 Tenth
street northwest, on May IL, 1918.
sEyidencc- Kept in Desk.
Between that time and yesterday,
Mr.. Laws stated. the evidence" was
in his desk.
Questioned by Judge Daniel Thew
Wright and James A. O'Shea, coun-
sci for the accused men, Mr.. Laws
admitted that IL would not have been
hard for anyone to enter his office
and tamper with the evidence or
even steal 1t. The doors to the office
were not locked, it was brought out.
The evidence" in question were
envelopes containing a number of
slips on which were written the
word Sam" 1t is thNse slips, al
legged to have been picked up by
Detectives Burlingame. Hughlett.
Kelly and Grant. with which the
government seeks to convict Nc
Cormick and Rappaport of making
a handbook on the races.
Establish Reality of Racing.
Most of the morning session OF
court was spent by the government
in its efforts to prove that there ac-
tually existed such a thing as a
horse race. Secretaries, judges and
track attendants were sworn in as
witnesses for the government to tes-
tify that there really was such a
thing in the sporting world as a
horse race, and that it was possible
for a person so inclined to place a
bet. 1t was also demonstrated that
placing a bet on a horse could be a
game OF chance. None of this par
ticular testimony affected either Nc
Cornick or Rappaport.
The afternoon session brought out
that during the raid of May IL and
subsequent raids the detectives ac-
tually did pick up pieces of paper, but
the government has yet to connect
them with the accused men.
