RUNNING DOWN CRIMINALS
War Departments Bureau Has Finger
Prints Of More Than Five Mil
lion Young Men.

Washington.-ln the identification
section of the War department there
has been collected II mass Of evidence
which Is expected during the years
to come to play an important part in
the conviction of thousands of Grim
inals, and likewise in the exoneration
Of perhaps thousands Of innocent men
who, through force of circumstances,
become objects of suspicion.
The evidence in question is the
finger print records Of more than
100000 men whose imprints were
taken when they came In contact with
the machinery of the selective serv-
lee organization of the War depart
ment. Scarcely a day passes that the
department is not called upon by the
police of various cities and towns to
try to identify the finger prints Of
some one who has been involved In
crime or fatal accident.
The main purpose OF the identity
section" as 1t Is called, Is to identify
unknown dead in time of war, and TO
keep undesirable ex-service men from
re-enlisting under assumed names.
