FORGER GETS CASH
. OF UNDERWRITERS
Swindler Uie Name of General
Ajjent Hill of Prorident
Life And Trust
SEVERAL SOUTHERNERS VICTIMS
Through the operations of a
swindler, who has passed forged
checks In various parts of the coun
try during the last two months,
Thomas R. Hill, Nebraska general
agent of the Provident Life and
Trust company, has been caused
much annoyance, although suffering
ik loss of only $30 himself.
A well-dressed, honest appearing
young roan, at various times using
the name of Rube!, Nelson or Mil
lard. Is reported to have "stung"
msny Insurance men with worthless
checks purporting to be agency
checks signed by Mr. Kill of Omaha.
The young man represents himself
to have been recently employed by
the Omaha Insurance man, and In
asking for a position elsewhere, pre
sents forged or stolen credentials,
and usually manages to get a check
cashed.
Mr. Mill declares that ths fnrsar.es i
brought to Ms nodes should hav been
drtcted esslljr. They wsre clumsily
dons, and even bear tbs misspelling
Thilldelphla." They also have the im
print of Mr. Hill's aaenry In red In
stead of blark Ink, and the ancy Is
called ths Omaha, Instead of the Ne
brsska fenersl agency.
So fsr, complaints of the man's oper
ations havs corns from Pallas, Tex
Muskogee, Okla.; several cities In Ar
ksnsas, and more recently from Indian
apolis. Mr. Hill has a good description
of ths fellow, who worked him to the
extent of $34 for advance expense money.
Only Insursnrs agencies have been chos
en as victims, the man evidently hav
ing been an underwriter before start
Ins to make his living by the easier
forgery method.

PARIS. Nov. is. General Joffre, eom-
mander4n-chief of the French forces
today issued ths following general order
to the army:
"On November V Franca issues a great
loan to provide funds for expenditure
on the national defense. All the sppeals

ation of the atruguie.
' "Those who subscribe fulfill ths duty
of a good Frenchman. They also wtll
find their advantage in it. Whoever
pays in 17.16 francs will receive an obit
gallon bearing I franca Interest only an
investment In French bonds at i and Tt-100
per rent.
"You haw doubtless heard your parents
retail ths terrible hours of 1870. After that
war there was a loan for tha liberation
pf territory. Tbla time, thanks to your
efforts. It will be aa the minister of
finance has said, tha loan of victory.'
"Think about that. Write about It to
your relatives and the friends you left
behind at your birthplace. Tell them that
to subscribe to ths loan Is to serve
France) that it la to fight for her with
you; that it Is to give you the moat ef
fective aid possible at the present time
and that It Is to assure your future and
that of your children."
