DECLARE VETERAN
FAXED HIS WOUNDS
Government Hospital Treat
ment Free in Fifteen Places,
Officers Report.

The Veterans Bureau in Il formal
statement today unmasked veteran
of the world war who had posed as an
overseas wounded hero, and had sue
ceeded in securing disqualification from
the bureau on the basis of false repre-
sentations"
The soldier claimed that he was
overseas, and that he was gassed and
wounded at Chateau Thierry and Bel
leau Wood. according to the statement
His service record shows, the bureau
statement declared. that he never
went overseas and therefore could not
have been gasS,i and wounded in the
battles which he alleges he partici-
pated in

Capt. Albert +. Haan manager of
district No. / Of the Veterans Bureau.
announced that although the man had
succeeded in SrCurin" disqualification
from the bureau on the basis of false
representations. this condition has
been remedicd by dropping him from
the compensation rolls of the bureau,
and, as a result, THIS claimant has en-
deaVured to enlist the support of GER
tain influential persons.
While still hospitalized." said the
statement of the bureau, he received
the usual compensation awarded to
patients under the care and treat
mcnt of the bureau. He was also
awarded compensation for disability
in the foot, which was incurred in
service. but since that condition has
now improved no further compensa-
ton can be awarded"
The evidence" said the bureau,
'disclOses that he never WAS overseas.
never participated in any of the en-
SaSementS claimed and has no injury
of a compensation degree which can
be traced TO his military service.
In Fifteen Institutions.
This man has been hospitalized in
about fifteen different institutions
and had at various times represented
himself to be an officer of veterans
organizations. as well as attempting
to impcrSuuate an inspector OF the
Veterans Bureau. The Veterans
Bureau has given this claimant the
benefit of every doubt. II it has
erred. it has erred on the side of
lenency."
Tho statement declares that a
newspaper article. which claimed the
man was suffering from baNonet
stabs in the stomach, is entirely
without foundation in fact, but that
the mans service record does show
that an incision for appendicitis was
noted at the time of enlistment.
The only record OF Il disability it
was said. which is noted in his med
ical record is eNatosis. of the heel
caused by faulty shoe and aSsra-
waited by the unclean care Of such Il
condition" Claims had been made
that thu man had a shattered back"
but records revealed that "a recent
medical examination discloses a
slight strain of the back, but this
condition is not traceable to his mill
itary service
Although the formal statement
from the bureau is reserved in its
phraseulogy, officials at the bureau
were much inCenSed at the action Of
the soldier. VIII" they branded as a
''malingercr." This term is the official
nickname for a person who stays in
soldier hospitals as long as possible
without sufficient disability to war
rant his stay, III order to be fed and
housed at the expense Of the govern

SECOND MORTGAGE
BONUSES RUN HIGH
Cause Ultimate Increase in
Prices in Homes Is Word
to Committee.

Bonuses for second mortgage funds
in building run all the way from .
to % per cent, causing an ultimate
high price for homes in Washington.
according to a. report submitted by
the subcommittee on finance Of the
Commissioners housing committee at
a meeting in the District building
yesterday. Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor
is chairman of the subcommittee. On
first mortgages the report stated,
funds were at ana per cent.
The report was submitted to a
steering committee composed of the
chai-men of the seven committees.
IT qualities its statement that 10000
WashingtOnians. including occupants
Of alley dwellings, We're housed i'm
properly, by the assertion that the
bankers and building and loan as
sociations of the District are not in
volved in exorbitant rate practices.
May Obtain Fair Rates.
Fair rates may be obtained by home
builders in Washington, as compared
to other conditions in this postwar
era, according to the report OF the COM
mttee.
The report states, in part:
we believe from the examination we
have been able to give of the matter
that there is no real difference be-
tween the rates of Washington and
other large cities. The rate of interest
prevailing in the District on first mort
gage loans is 6 and ! per cent, with
l per cent commission or brokerage eX-
cept in the case of building loans;
where the brokerage is 2 per cent. We
believe that there is an abundance OF
money in Washington for first mort
gage loans where the margin IS satiS-
factory or reasonable: that, is from 90
to 20 per cent of cost.
Second Mortgage Rates.
"On second mortgages the rates
are higher. according to the amount
of risk involved and the personal
element of character and financial
responsibility of the borrower. The
! rate of interest cannot legally be
! greater than S per cent, but bonus
! is usually charged.
sTheSe bonuses, we believe, VIII
run all the way from to 20 per cent
! We have heard of exceptional cases
! which have led US to believe that
| bonuses as large as 40 per cent, or
! so per cent, have been charged. but
| we feel that these are exceptional
and caused by some unusual FISK or
i hazard"
! The meeting of the subcommittee
I chairmen is continuing today. An
| effort is being made to draw up q
; final report for submission to meet

At the Mount Glare shops of the

are still many women working to-

those that are still working have

In the morning, when the whistle

They like it, both the work and
