Grand Jury Investigating Acts Of De-

BY Associated Press.
Washington, July 26.--The District
Of Columbia grand jury today took
Up investigation of an alleged con-
spiracy Of certain employees of the
war risk insurance bureau to dcfraud
disabled service men and their de-
pendents of compensation legally due.
Officials of the treasury secret SER
Woe were prepared to lay before the
grand jury evidence they had obtain
ed, by which, it has been stated,
scores il not hundreds Of veterans y,
the world war were defrauded. Ten
persons already have been arrested.
Thirty five specific cases of SOL
diers having been victimized will be
presented, altho there are seventy
two cases in which veterans Of the
war have been defrauded, "and only
the top Of the conspiracy has been
scraped," according to the secret
service officials.
A big force of secret service opera
tives are working on the plot and
$4,000 claims are being investigated
on the suspicion that several thou
sand more victims Of the alleged
swindiers may be found. and justice
accorded the latter. The ramifca-
tons of the investigation cover the
whole country including the army
hospitals and rehabilitation institu-
tions.
1t is the expectation of the prose-
cution to have the grand jury return
an indictment containing thirty FIVE
counts against the defendants. Such
an indictnet would mean a possible
maximum penalty of seventy years
Imprisonment for the defendants in
the event Of their conviction. It is
said the secret service has strong
evidence to support each count.
Other arrests are expected during
the next week, as the secret service
has trailed a number Of suspects to
the most remote sections Of the sccun-
try. A number OF former employees
under suspicion nre voluntarily re-
turning to Washington for examina-
tion by the secret service as to their
part in the gigantic plot. 1t is said
that a number will be arrested 'Then
they reach here.

ROUTE OF FLYERS IN LONG TRIP
FROM MINEOLA, N. Y, TO ALASKA

The map shows the route for the
four army airplanes, in their $1,000
mile trip from Mineola, Long
Island, to Nome, Alaska
The flight Is to initiate regular
air service, both commercial and
postal, to the far north.
Experts say that the trip is one of
the most difficult and hnr" ~dous
ever attempted on this continent.
The aviators, led by .t.p. St
Claire Street, will make the flight
by "legs," landing at regular points
for rest, plane repairs and eql.p-
ment.
The Alaskan flyers. especially
afrer they begin to cross the Can
adian Rockies, will be confronted
with many difficulties.
Chief among these will be the
ne cessity Of flying at an average
altitude Of $4,000 feet.
This high altitude will be the re-
suit of the uncharted condition OF
the regions over which they will
pass.

i. s. sHIPBuILDlNa DROPS.

Other Nations Gain, However, and
World Reduction ls Only Per Cent.
Philadelphia, July 28.-Altho nearly
], 100, 900 gross tons less Of shipping
are being built in the United States
today than year ago. the reduction
In tho world total under construction
is less than per cent, says a state
merlt Just issued by Lloyd's Regis
ter of Shipping. Returns from all
countries for the quarter ended July
i show an aggregate Of 7,720,000 tons
under way. compared with s,o17.000
at this time last year.
The sharp decline in American
building has been almost completely
offset by gains made by practically
all tho other maritime countries. On
July l.. 1920, there were under con-
struction in the United Kingdom
more than 100000 gross tons in ex-
cess Of the July 1. 1919, figure, while
all other countries combined, exclus-
i've OF the United States, showed an
increase Of over 100000 tons. The
American aggregate Of S,S74,00o tons
year ago has now declined to e.
105,O0 tons.
Today the United States Is building
], 1,4T2,o00 tons less than the United
Kingdom. "a year ago America led BY
1850. 900 tons. At the same time. the
lead held by America shipyards over
those Of other countries, Great Brit
ain excluded. has been pared down so
rapidly that the American margin OF
2,254,000 tons on July i, 1919, has now
been reduced to less than 10000 tons.
IA notable feature of the returns
from ALL countries is the indication
that the United States is taking ef-
fective steps to remedy its shortage
Of larger sized vessels. The 366 steel
steamers building in American yards
represent an average per ship of o.
609 gross tons, as against 4,O12 tons
fo,. the So British vessels and 1855
tons for the 655 building for the rest
Of the world. Only $4,000 tons OF
wooden steamers are now being built
in this country. A year ago 420, 0,0OO
tons were under construction here.
More than 81 per cent of the Amer
lean total now building are composed
of steel steamers and more than two :
thirds of these are being constructed
In Atlantic coast shipyards.

window, however, and waved at Jack
until the train had taken her from

''Lordy, boys, but I'm glad to be
here" he exclaimed as he grinned at
the crowd. II can lick anybody in
the United States, and if can't get
a new trial I'm going to take my
medicine and keep in condition. The
rest Of the world is a good place,
but give me Chicago.

day, when his attorneys appeared
