American Legion Head Issue:
Warning Against Bogus Pleas
for Disabled Aid.

NEW YORK, December 15.-Taking
advantage Of the spirit of Christmas,
hundreds of takers, using the guise Of
world war veterans, are mulcting
the public of thousands of dollars,
John r. Quinn, national commander
of the American Legion. declared
Yesterday. Mr.. Quinn issued ma
tion-wide warning against such al
legged fraudulent schemes. The Amer
lean former service men. he said, ask
the cooperation of all citizens in
stamping out such practices.
According to Commander Quinn,
men calling themselves veterans are
selling cheaply purchased packages
of pencils for exhorbitant prices, al
leping the money is to be used to
heip the disabled. Publishers of
so-called veteran" magazines and
their statesmen are reaping a harvest
from q sympathetic public, he added.
post Office inspectors" Commander
these questionable organizations and
n,lhIisherS and statesmen of these vet
eraf' magazines who. claim to help
ex-service men, but help no one but
themselves.
at is a well known fact that one
of these publishers is an ex-convict
having served a term in Atlanta pen
itentiary for a similar fraud in which
he used the word veteran to blk the
nublic of more than 100000.
"The American Legion has earnest
ly sought to stop this fraud upon the
public, but needs the help of all citi-
eeQS," .-.-.--.-- =
