on which method to pursue In regard
TO q certain three men fwhose names

in subsequent articiss). Two Of them
were prominent merchandise brokers
in Paris. The three had been taken
into custody In connection with an
Investigation by the French police
and United States army officials con-
cerning 'iost" freight cars laden with
Red Gross materials.
The French police reported TO the
Red Cross that they had found
grounds for criminal proceedings In
connection with fraudulent orders of
transport against certain persons.
They had traced forty-two cars of
Red Cross merchandise, including
sausages, cigarettes, steel knitted
goods, clothing and other badly
needed materials. They reported that
these things had fallen into the hands
of private speculators and that prof
iteering In Red Cross goods was
growing rampant
The same situation had come to
the notice of the Division of Criminal
Investigation of the United States
Army. They, In turn. urged the Red
Cross 70 prefer charges against such
men as had been found dealing in
the name of the Red Cross with pri-
vate brokers and spcculators. The
