: -Given Six Months
1 The first bit of reconstruction work I attempted by the Soldiers Welfara I Association, an organization formed in Freeport several months ago to pro- ' mote the welfare of discharged sol- I diers and assist the wounded and the {crippled ones, came to a successful termination last Friday when John Stevens, who claimed to have lost four fingers in the Battle of Flanders, had them restored in less than fourtee i minutes. Stevens was brought to tbj Freeport Police Headquarters early Friday moming by two patrolmen on a charge of vagrancy preferred by an officer of the association.
Stevens was dressed in the uniform of a United States soldier, weather stained and threadbare, with his right arm in a sling and his hand skillfully bandaged. Chief of Police James Hanse ordered him to remove the ban¬ dages at onc6. Stevens hesitated, 4>ut a quick move on the part of the po¬ liceman accomplished Uie purpose, and showed that, instead of four ragged stumps, as he claimed, there were four perfect Aogers. Police Juatice Flint, after a plea of guilty, sentenced him to six months on Blackwell's Island.
After his camouflaged hand had been exposed, Stevens told Chief Hanse a remarkable atory of how hb had deceived some of the most protni- nent people of Freeport for the past six weeks by woridng on their sympa¬ thies, which was v«rifled later in the day by many of tham calling at Police Headquartera and denouncing him. He told such a tale of wounds, shell shocks and brave deeds in which he took the principal part that nearly ev¬ erybody in town believed him except A woman—Mra. M. J. Zulzer, preai¬ dent of the Welfare Association. It was she who caused his amst, which eventually led to his exposura.
Sir weeks ago a man about 28 yean of age, dressed in a khaki suit, cam¬ paign hat, leggins and army shoes, drifted into town. His right arm was sling and he looked emaciated and coiighed incessantly, which he said, was the result of being gassed

No Drive on Red Cross Christmas Seals This Year
The State Charities Aid Associa¬ tion has been designated by the Nii- tional Tuberculosis Association as thi^ agency for the disbursement of thn share apportioned to New York Statr* outside of Greater New York of the $2,600,000 appropriation made by th3 War Council of the American Red Cross to finance the tuberculosis cam¬ paign throughout the United States during 1919 in place of the usual Red Cross Christmas Seal sale.
In announcing thie appropriation to the National Tuberculosis' Associa¬ tion, Henry P. Davidson, Chairman of the War Council of the American Reil Cross, said:
"The action of the War Council is prompted by the sincere desire to in¬ sure, so far as may be, the' mainten¬ ance and development of the nation¬ wide work against tuberculosis during the coming year, rather than to have its support conting:eftt upon the usual sale of Christmas seals at a time when, however worthy the cause, the country is being asked to consider so many important appeals to its sympa¬ thies and resources. We are deeply sensible of the special importance at this time of all the health work and particnlarly of the effort put forth in the prevention and cure of tubercu¬ losis and in the education of the pub¬ lic in regard hereto."
Red Cross Christmas Seals, while not sold' as in former years, will stiil be a feature of the coming Christmas season. A packet of seals and a leaf¬ let on tuberculosis will be awarded to each peraon responding to the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call, December 16-23. The Tuberculosis Committee of the State Charities Aid Associa¬ tion and tuberculosis committees throughout the State, will co-operate with the local chaptera of the Ameri¬ can Red Cross in making the Christ¬ mas Roll Call a success,
