Changing Of Fingerprints For
Joke May Cost Leo Rasche
$500 of Bonus Money

Leo Rasche, Brooklyn, N. Y, and
former Oakland resident, thought it
a great joke in 1917 when he and his
army pal, Bill Smith, switched finger
prints on their service records, but
he ruefully admitted yesterday it may
cost him about $500 in bonus money.
Rasche and Smith enlisted at Column
bia, S. c., in the Second Infantry.
While in training at Ell Paso, they
were required to fill out service rec
ord and attach fingerprints to the
papers.
Rasche, a newspaper man, thought
only criminals were printed. He
suggested to Smith that they switch
fingerprints on the army records.
They did so and Rasche many times
since has told, with amusement, the
story of the ruse.
A letter from the Treasury Depart
ment, in response to his application
of $1,589 bonus, minus the $500 he
had borrowed, led him to believe the
joke was on himself. It informed him
his claim to the bonus due Leo Rasche,
former captain in the A. E. F., was
disputed by the fingerprints attached
to the record.
AS he sat at the copy desk of the
Brooklyn Eagle, where he is employed,
and told the story Rasche was wonder
ing where Bill Smiths wanderings
might have taken him.
Rasche learned the rudiments of
printing and began his journalistic
career in The Republican Office years
ago. He is a brother of Mrs. James P.
Treacy and Dennis Rasche, and son
of Mrs. X. R. Rasche, of Oakland.
Another brother, Harry Rasche, re-
sides in Uniontown, Pa.

CORPORAL CURRIE INJURED
IN TILT WITH CCC MEMBERS
Receives Severe Kick On Knee;
Averts Attempt to "Gang' Him

A general "ganging up" on Corporal
Thomas Currie of the State Police,
by members of the CCC was averted
last Saturday night, but not before the
officer had drawn his revolver to keep
them back.
Thomas Colborn and John Nelson
were arrested and lodged in the county
Jail on charges of disorderly conduct,
pending hearing before Justice of
the Peace Charles F. White.
Corporal Currie received severe
kick on the knee, alleged to have been
delivered by Nelson, which sent him to
Memorial Hospital, Cumberland, for
an examination and observation to
determine the extent of the injury.
He will remain in Cumberland several
days yet, it was reported this morning.
The trouble arose when Currie at
tempted to place Colborn under arrest,
charged with throwing a bottle to
the street in front of the Manhattan
Hotel, and breaking it upon the pave
ment. Nelson was alleged to have said,
"Come on; let's gang him." and be-
gan the assault, but others in the
group did not follow as Currie
drew his gun and prepared for action.

Af Landon
And Frank Knox

The ticket named by the Republican convention
in Cleveland grows in strength hour by hour and
day by day. One cannot escape that impression,
and the reason is that the more the two candidates
Gov. Landon and Col. Knox-are studied, the
more their qualifications become apparent
Both these men are not only liberals in the best
sense but they have been liberals since the day of
Theodore Roosevelt Both helped in the organiza-
ton OF that famous progressive movement which
made Col. Roosevelt an even greater and more I'M
forgettable figure than he had ever been These
men-Landon and Knox-were fighting the politi-
cal and economic battles of the common people be-
fore the present New Dealers were ever heard of.
Governor Alf Landon was one of the foremost
Republicans in Kansas who came to Col. "Teddy'
Roosevelt and pledged his loyalty and his service
in the great crusade of 1912. CoE Frank Knox not
only fought shoulder to shoulder with him political
ly but he fought with him on the field of war. Col.
Knox bears his title because ne was a member of
the famous Rough Riders who rode up San Juan
hill and made brilliant history for the annals of
the American Army.
Both Landon and Knox are men of great intellec
tual and physical vigor. They are seized with deep
and abiding convictions, and because of their sin
certy they have the ability to inspire the millions
to whom they will speak. Both Of them are strong,
plain, simple, natural men-men who wear the
same sized hats they wore before they came into
public life.
Governor Landon is Calf" to his barber, his gro
cer to the successful marsand the poor man. He is
like most of the men we know, sincere friend, q
real American. His smile is not artificial and his
handshake is regular. Everything about him is
just genuine. AS for Frank Knox, knowing him as
we do, we just know there isn't truer, more sin
cere American in the whole country than he.
Both men believe in the American governmental
system and the constitution. They are standing on
a fne liberal, workable platform, and platform
that will be fulfilled and not scrapped as was the
Democratic one in 1892.
Landon and Knox go forth in holy crusade
for the preservation of the American form of gov
ernment, American principles, and the right privi-
lege and liberties of the American people.
