CAMP LEE. Petersburg. Va, August
3O.-The fifteen days training period
of the 5th Infantry, District of Co

end today at this camp when the
members of the Washington unit
boarded train for Washington
shortly before noon. The men will ar
rive in the Union station in Washing
ton about 4:30 O'Clock this afternoon.
Yesterday was a day of comparative
luxury for the District men. They
were all off duty, with the exception
of six camp guards. and every man
enjoyed a well earned day of rest aft
er the past two weeks OF hard work.
Saturday night enc . fthe big enter

held. when the District guatdsmen
were hosts to the Regular Army units

two weeks of camp life may be sum-

time spent by the boys where hard
work and pleasure We're happily min

created and old ones renewed and
strengthened: where loyalty to coun-

Tact The difference is apparent AS
rule Regular Army men come from
all parts of the country, originally
unknown to each other while Ma
tional Guard units are recruited from
one locality with friends and rela-

result is that the men will often
have a tendency to forget the Army

TO WAR AGAINST SWINDLERS
National Organization Takes Steps 10
Swing Full Force to Stamp
Out Practice.

National and departmental officers
OF the American Legion have recently
brought to light several instances in
which INSCRIPTIONS swindlers have
successfully capitalized the grief of the
next Of kin of Americans who lost their
lives in the world war, and the organi-
zation's national headquarters has
taken steps to swing the full force of
the more than $500 Legion posts be
hind a movement to stamp out the
practice.
The mother of a dead soldier whose
grave had never been located recently
was told by one of these parasites that
he would visit Washington, if she paid
his expenses, and find out at first-hand
what could be done. Later, the impos-
tor reported success and advised the
hereayed family that the body would
be sent home. A brother became Sus-
piciOus and by a personal call at the
war department learned that no in
quiry ever had been made.
Another woman, whose son had not
been heard from since he was reported
wounded while fighting in the Ar
gonne, received a letter signed with
her sons name, asking her to send him
money. She made trip to Cleveland,
O., only to find that the letter was a
hoax. Later, she received a telegram
signed with her sons name and mott
fed the police in the town from which
the message had been sent. The man
who had attempted to defraud her was
arrested.
AT the instigation of the Legion, po-
lice of a California city are on the
trail of a man said to have made a
practice of corresponding with the next
of kin of deceased soldiers with view
to defrauding them. He wrote let
ter purpOrting to give first-hand infor-
nation concerning the death of one of
these missing soldiers, whereas inves-
tigation showed that the writer of the
ietter had never been outside the Uni
ted States during the war.
Lemuel Bolles, Legion national adju-
tant. has urged all posts and depart
urents to assist in warning relatives of
missing heroes against paying any
money for information or service OF
this nature, as both the Legion and the
war department are willing to provide
all available authentic information at
all times without charge.
