WAR OFFICE DEN0uNCES
SWINDLERS IN UNIFORM
Offering Of Booklets for Sale Is
Called Attempt to Capitalize
I Patriotism Of People.

War Department officials are di-
recting a campaign against swindlers
in soldier uniforms. who are preying
on the public: Public sympathy for
the men who were wounded in the
war" says bulletin on the subject,
has opened up a new field for swindlers
who seek to capitalize the patriotism Of
the people and the suffering of the
wounded for their own gain.
"Clad in the uniform of the Army,
these harpies pretend to be ex-service
men, although those who have been ar
rested so far have generally refused to
show their discharges, and claim that
they are peddling for the benefit of the
wounded soldiers.
"The usual method adopted for de-
frauding the public is to offer booklet
for sale in cafes or street corners and on
street cars, and the average person ac-
told that the money is to go to the
wounded. None of the money obtained
from the sale of these booklets has ever
been received at any of our military
hospitals where the wounded are be-
ing cared for.
1.-THE last Congress passed an act, the
national defense act which prescribes
who may wear the uniform and under
what circumstances it may be worn;
and these peddfers are violating the law.
The punishment provided in their case
ment not to exceed six months, OF both
fine and Imprisonment.
THE War Department is using every
effort to stamp out this capitalzing of
American blood shed in France, and the
public is warned against these sWindlers
who are preying on the sympathy and
gratitude Of the American people"
