M ? ? fraudulent "warriors" who are exploiting the war fever in the United States, writes Paul Ayres Rockwell iu the Chicago News. Some Never Reach Europe." Some of the impostors have never been in Europe at all; some came over and enlisted in the allied ranks, then managed by one means or another, even by downright desertion, to return to America before ever viewing the i firing line. j Others impersonate the men who are I in France offering their lives in the | fight against the Germans. Sergt. ! Frederick Zinn of Battle Creek, Mich.. | the famous aviator-observer, recently i received a copy of the Hood River (Ore.) News for July 11, 1917, containI ing a story beginning: "Frederick W. j Zinn, an American who has seen active I service in the aviation corps of the allied armies in France, spent several days last week in Hood River, ano those who met him were thrilled by hi-' stories of aerial combat in the war zone. Mr. Zinn came west to find a half brother and sister, from whom he has become separated since he went ; to Europe. He traced them to Portland, and was told there that they had been adopted by a Hood River family." The article goes on at length and gives some personal details about Sergeant Zinn which the impostor probably gleaned from news reports. The real Sergeant Zinn has no half broth ers or sisters. He returned to France from a short leave in America last March. ; Another clipping: from Pasadena, Cal., tells of Richard L. Bryner, who is referred to as a lieutenant and the I youngest member of the Lafayette escadrille, who "has been very successful in battling against German war 1 planes. Several of his heroic deeds are j chronicled." The name of Bryner has ; never appeared on the roll call of the Lafayette flying unit. I have before me the official steno| graphic report of the interrogation by i the senate's committee on military af| fairs of two Americans who have worn | the French aviation uniform. Senator 1 Shennnrd asked: "Have you a record of the number of battles in which you have participated?" Army Adopts Impostors. One of the men replied that he had | been in 17 different engagements. Yet he has never once flown over the front. | The other claimed to have had thirty j or thirty-five air battles. The truth is j that he spent seven months with the Lafayette escadrille, and during all ,that time had only about five hours of flight and not one aerial duel. He lias j been made a first lieutenant in the United States army on the strength kof his assertions. A man wjjo deserted from the French aviation corps after France had spent ?

A number of other Americans wh enlisted in the French aviation eorp and were trained as flyers at the ej pense of the already ovej-burdene French nation went to the Unite States directly after being: brevette< without ever having gone to the fron and have not yet returned to face th German foean battle. Some of thes men are so shamelessly lacking i honor that even in the training cam they announced to their American con rades that they had not enlisted wit the intention of fighting, but to learn paying occupation, so as to return t America and make money.
