NEAR EAST FUND
Six Former American Soldiers
Said to Admit Aiding Whole
sale Thefts
MAY INVOLVE MANY OTHERS
BY the Associated Press

Constantinople, Sept. 13.--Six former
American soldiers who have been ar
rested in connection with thefts OF sup
plies from the American committee for
relief in the Near East have virtually
confessed and have promised to tell all
they know in the hope that leniency
will be shown them, according to off
lcials investigating the situation. The
nefts are said to total hundreds Of
thousands OF dollars.
Charles Allen, American consul here,
n conducting the examinations of the
six men, and Charles r. Aldrich, a
New York lawyer, is appearing in be-
half of American contributors to the
committees funds. He was preparing
to return to America, but declared he
felt it his duty to remain, as no other
American lawyer is available here.
A long investigation is anticipated for
the purpose OF determining the extent
of the thcfts from the committee. Off
cials declare that the losses from thefts,
together with manipulation Of funds and
supplies, may be far larger than at first
suspected. 1t is declared thoy extend
over a period of year and half and
involve officers of other charity war
organizations, who worked temporarily

with the old American committee for
relief in the Near East and then re-
turned to the United States.
The investigation was brought about
by the arrest of the six former
American soldiers by J. Z. Coombs,
former lieutenant colonel in the
American army, who has been
here about six months. Lieutenant
Colonel Coombs advised with G. V.
Vickery, general secretary of the Amer
ican committee for relief in the Near
East. and they decided to consult Rear
Admiral Mark l.. Bristol, American
high commissioner here. Admiral Bris-
tol decided that the men should be
prosecuted.
Julian Gillespie, Of Dallas. Texas,
formerly captain In the American army,
has been appointed counsel for the six
prisoners. When the men were ar
rested they declared it would be unfair
II they should suffer ''and high officials
who were responsible for larger sums
