SOLDIERS KILLED
HE SAYS, BY DOPE
Lieut. Finnerty of Provost
Guard Tells of Drugged
Cigarettes
According to a statement sent out
from the office of the New York
'
Camp Community Service, the frequency
with which soldiers and sailors
have been found in N. Y. city
robbed and unconsc'ous after having
accepted drugged cigarettes led
Lieut. John M. Finnerty of the Pro
vost Guard to issue instructions to
all uniformed men not to accept cigarettes
from any but agents of recognized
war work organizations or
from persons whom they know. The
instructions were communicated to
the New York Camp Community Service
for distribution among the uniformed
men using its clubs, canteens
and sleeping quarters.
"There have been several cases recently,"
said Lieut. Finnerty, in
which the Provost Guard found soldiers
or sailors lying unconscious
in gutters or doorways. This is always
in the night and in every case
the service man has been stripped of
everything of value. They are always
drugged and they always tell
the same story ^yhen they come to
next morning. They say a package
of cigarettes was handed to them
and they 'went out' after smoking
half of one cigarette."
The drugged cigarette practice was
first called to the attention of the
Provost Guard about two months
ago, according to Lieut. Finnerty. So
many soldiers found drugged told of
receiving cigarettes from a woman
that the Provost Guard looked for
and found her. It was discovered
that the soldiers were right. The
woman had been giving them drugged
cigarettes. Now, according to
Lieut Finnerty, other crooks are
adopting the drugged cigarette as a
means to rob men in uniform.
Lieut. Finnerty announced also
that cases have been discovered recently
in which drugged whskey has
been given to soldiers and sailors,
who were then lobbed of everything

Many Clever Swindles Uncovered

Berlin.?Germany has increasingly i
taken to crime since the revolution, ;
and the once orderly empire, where
pickpockets were almost unknown '
and holdups and robberies created a
sensation, is undergoing an epidemic |
of ciime. Probably no system has I
proved more effective than, in these
days of uncertainty and change, play
ing the official or impersonating a
soldier or a policeman.
J Recently two clover criminals who 1
discovered that a certain man had ]
concealed in his house 115 thousand-1]
mark notes of the old type and liable I ?
to confiscation had frightened him 1
! into surrendering the money on the i
promise of escaping prosecution. i
Confiscated Money. ,
A real official, who had nosed out ;
the plot, entered just in time to see ]
tne transfer of the money and really I
did confiscate it, besides arresting ]
i the three men. t <
j More successful was another false J
official scheme. Here a group sue- 1
ceeded in inducing a man who had <
hoarded fifty thousand-mark bills to ;
sell them at a handsome profit, the j
deal was in progress when fellow- J
conspirators, posing as officials, ap- j
pearetl, confiscated the money and i
robbed the owner. <
An airplane was used to capture
criminals when the authorities got 1
wind recently of an attempt to carry 1
20,000,000 marks on an express train r
to M.unich whence they were to be
smuggled across the Swiss border.
Robberies at railroad stations from
freight cars have been increasing to a <
great extent. Countless cases of false
papers for the delivery of goods have ]
I been discovered, usually after it was ' ]

Huge Swindle Uncovered.
The discovery of two freight carloads
of bacon lying on a siding at
ft suburban station led to the discovery
of a huge swindle originating
in Holland, conducted from the Rhine
land, and making use of false bills of
lading. Many railroad men were involved
in a small way for their share
in handling the faked bills of lading.
The constant swindling extends to
every imaginable kind of food and i
raw material. A young man appeared
recently at a storehouse in central
Berlin and asked to have some cases
stored. When the warehouse watchman
saw the cases he was suspicious
because thev camp from thr? {mTwrlnl
textile plant at Zwickan. So he re- I
ported the presence of the cases, in- I
vestig-ation showed 5,000 yards of tex 1
tiles worth 120,000 marks ami the
young man was captured by a ruse.
He hail procured the cloth on a forged
nrder bearing the signature of the
textile authorities.
DECiSiON FINAL
SAYS SHERWOOD
Columbia.?E. J. Sherwood, of Conway,
emphatically stated that under
no circumstances would he take the
nomination of his opponent, P. H.
Stoll, of Kingstree, for Congress
from the Sixth Congressonal District,
nto the courts. Mr. Stoll was nominated
by the State. Democratic Executive
Committee, which gave him
a majority of twenty six votes over
Mr. Sherwood.
"Emphatically, I shall not take the
nomination of Mr. Stoll into the
courts," said Mr. Sherwood. "The.
State Democratic Executive Committee
is the supreme court of the South
Carolina Democratic party and I. as
nil good Democrats should, intend to
ibide by its degree. It declared Mr.
Stoll the nominee, and that settles it
as far as I am concerned and I shall
.rote for my opponent in the general
ilection." .
The' general election for Congress
'or both the sixth and Seventh districts
was called by Governor Cooper

THE MAN OF MORN.
"he Man of Morn came down the way
rVith laughter in his eyes of light;
To saw the world a sunny day,
fe helped the world forget the night.
To took the care and took the grief.
Vnd fled with them and cast them out
Vnd brough the world a new relief
Vnd sang and sang a battle shout.
The Man of Morn was good to see
lecause of smiles that decked his
face,
ife broke men's gyves and set them
free
\nd made the world a sunnier place.
Ke grasped the shadow, rolled it back,
knd put the vision in men's hearts,
\nd lifted them from off the rack
knd swept old sorrows from the
marts.
He played and danced, he was a beam
From hills of beauty and of dawn;
He showed the world the way of
dreams,
And put its rainbow colors on.
He took the creed and hate and scorn,
And cast them down, and with the sun
Of hope and cheer relit tho morn
In spirits that had cried them done.
The man of mom came down the
street,
And all the weary and the old
Turne young and gay and blithe and
sweet
And traveled back from gray to gold.
And took the sights and sobs and
tears
And turned them into smiles and
song
And stayed the doubt and healed the
fears 1
And steeled the right against the
wrongs.
He loved and suffered and was true,
He gave and served, and answered
death
With spring, and on his trumpet
blew i
A challenge with his morning breath.
A piper of the peace of earth,
He led the legions, and they came
With dance and song and smiles of 1
mirth
That sprang from his auroral flame. ]
