LAW TO PUNISH
RED ENLISTING
SCRUTINIZED

The Department Of justice TO-
day explored the question whether
recruiting Of American fliers by
the Spanish Socialist-Communist
forces is in violation Of a ll9,
year-old Federal statute.
The law imposes three years in
prison and $1,000 fine for foreign
military enlistments accomplished
within the jurisdiction Of the
United States.
Bill Awaits Signing
Bill embargoing arms and air
craft exports to either faction for
duration of the Spanish civil war
meantime awaited only the sigma
lures Of the President and Vice
President to plug the loophole
through which eight planes slipped
away from New York to Spain
Wednesday in violation Of the
Administrators neutrality policy.
Justice officials said Attorney
General Cummings and Joseph B.
keenan,, Chief of the Criminal
Division, conferred during the day
on complaints of asserted illegal
recruiting forwarded by U. 5.
district attorneys in New York
Chicago and San Francisco.
Offer PrObed
It was understood the written
tender of $1,000 monthly salary
and $500 bonus on each de-
stroyed enemy Enthusiastically
rendered a Chicago aviator by
Attorney S. A. Shacter of New
York-waS under scrutiny.
The Chicagoan, Ray Cotton, re-
portedly rejected Shacter's offer
after a man representing himself
as Spanish consul at Chicago had
ascertained by telephone that Col
ton might be interested in serving
with the "red" air corps.
Officials said the prosecution
may hinge on whether enlistments,
arranged in the United States, but
consummated in contracts signed
abroad, were indictable.
The law, originally passed to
prevent American seamen enlist
ing on British privateers Of a cen
tury ago, applies to:
''WhOever, within the territory
or jurisdiStiOn of the United
States, enliStS or retains another
person to enlist or go beyond the
jurisdiStiOn Of the United States
with intent to be entered in the
service of any foreign prince,
state, colony, district or people"
NEW BAN DRAFTED
Recalling disclosures that Cuse
had purchased planes from the
Army Air Corps, members of the
House Military Committee drafted
amendments to the Army surplus
supplies act forbidding sale of sur.
plus war materials for export.
Enactment would bring the
Army surplus sales policy in line
with that Of the Navy.
The State Department was con
fident today's signatures on the
embargo bill will bring cancellation
of the only other Spanish arms
export license before shipments
can begin. The licensee, Richard
L. Dineley, of San Francisco, told
officials yesterday his hopes of
shipping any of a $4,507, 900 cargo
Of planes, machine guns and am
muntion were about washed out. "

SPREAD OF FLU.
GAINS HERE

Following reports from the Pub
lie Health Service that influenza
cases have been increasing since
early in December, DR.. William
DeKleine, medical advisor of the
Red Cross, today issued a warn
ing to the public to safeguard
themselves against the epidemic.
DR.. DeKleine said that the
present epidemic was Of a mild
type and that comparatively few
persons need suffer of it if they
take simple precautions. He added,
however, that hundreds Of deaths
may result from the so-called cpl
demic because of indifference and
improper care. He said:
"The disease starts with the
symptoms of an ordinary cold,
usually accompanied with a rise
Of temperature, chilly and ach-
ing feelings. This is the time to
quit work and go to bed, and
stay there until the temperature
has returned to normal and re-
mained so for at least "a hours.
In addition, the patient should
take it easy a few days longer
to prevent q relapse. 1t is neces-
sary to stay away from work
until recovery is complete, there
by protecting others as well as
oneself"
The Public Health Service re-
vealed that the number of cases
reported for the week ending Janu-
ary 2 totaIed 1898, as compared
with a total of 2,088 the previous
week. This number is believed to
be only a fraction of the total
number Of cases, since many
States do not compile incomplete
reports,
