.IMP0STERS ARE
 TO BE TRAPPED
 FOR GOVERNMENT
American Legion Will Take Steps to Apprehend
 Bogus War Veterans.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 19.- National headquarters of the Amer ican Legion has taken steps to pre- vent misuse of government benefits for ex-service men, according to a statement made by Lemuel Rolles national adjutant.
 Tt has been brought to our at tention that a few men have deliber ately falsified claims for compensa tion, vocational training and medi cal treatment" said MT. Bolles Considering the large number ol wounded veterans who are entitled to every benefit the government can give, the number of imposters is not large. Bpt, few as they are, their action works hardship on the dis abled.
 Cases of deception have been more numerous lately, due to the rush of claims, following the Le gion's fight for government efficien cy. However the Legion will find time and means to expose any i'm posters who come to us for assist ance in pressing their claims"
 All Legion posts have been in structed to furnish government bu reaus with information they obtain about men concerning whose dis ability any doubt exists. The post activities in favor of the genuinely disabled will continue.
