Warns Parents of Soldier Furlough Swindle Ring
The War Department warns parents and friends about a scam operating in camps. A telegram claims a soldier has a furlough and asks for funds by wire to come home, with no need to identify the sender. A similar telegraphic request to mail money to a soldier via general delivery is noted.
