AFTER THE FAKE PROMOTERS
American Legion on Watch to Detect
and Expose Organizations Victim
lzing Ex-Service Men.

The harpies who prey on public
sympathy and the vampires who at
taen themselves to every legitimate
and worthy campaign for the relief of
human distress, have been flying In
fiocks behind the trudging army OF job
hunting ex-seryice men. The police
courts are revealing the sordid opera
tions of scores of avaricious persons
who have been conducting money-rais-
Ing campaigns on a get-rich-quick ba-
SIS, on the pretense of assisting unem-
ployed World war veterans. Some of
these fiy-by-night promoters have
formed large organizations. using as
dupes veterans who are, themselves,
honest, but have been induced by ur-
gent need to grasp at the straw of a
Job which the swindler bangles before
them.
Behind shield Of plausibility, the
promoter sends his money solicitors
out upon the public. Needless to say,
little of the money raised actually is
used TO assist the unemployed ex-
service men. The promoter takes good
care to see that his account books, If
he keeps any, never record the full
amounts which have been extracted
from the sympathetic public And If
he makes pretense of accounting for
the way the money is expended, this
accounting is only a clever construc-
ton of falsities, intended to protect
the promoter, If he is made the sub
ject of inquiry by public officials The
system by which he operates precludes
honesty.
These swindlers often copy the
names and methods of organizations
which are legitimate and have repu-
table sponsors The names the EN-
ployment swindlers select for their or
CARNATIONS only too often inspire pub
lie confidence because they may easily
be confused with those Of long-existing
public charitable societies. The Amer
lean Legion is constantly on the watch
TO detect, expose and prosecute organi-
cations victimizing ex-service men.
The public should come to know that
any organization ostensibly for the
help of unemployed veterans should be
regarded suspiciously If 1t does not
have the Legions Observation-Disclosures

The career of Mr.. Hutchings is
closely interviewer with the progress
of Kansas City, which he visualized
in 1900, when he decided TO live there.
Since then he has organized the Kan

In every movement for the advance

During the World war he was given
the immense task of organizing the
Liberty loan campaigns in the Tenth

service was not enough for him when
his country was involved in a war.
He organized a Seventh Missouri Ma

its captain. Later he was transferred
to the moter transport corps of the
