    Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

The rule changes remove all references to bingo conductor and bingo worker fees, while revising the license application and renewal process.

  • D. DETECTING FRAUD in CHARITY GAMING by James V
    D. DETECTING FRAUD IN CHARITY GAMING by James V. Competti and Conrad Rosenberg Contrary to popular belief, bingo cannot be categorized as a low-stakes game played by middle-aged and elderly women. It is, rather, a billion-dollar industry whose popularity permeates all aspects of American society, and the abuses of which often go undetected or unremedied. Despite bingo’s popularity as a charity fundraiser and its reputa­ tion as a harmless pastime, it has been the object of abuse by a number of sources: Illegal parlors resort to tricks to circumvent the law or openly defy it. Racketeers are thought to control bingo games- legal and illegal- in a number of urban areas. Skimming and other scams are practiced by both organized groups and shady independent operators. Some bingo players have devised elaborate cheating schemes. Gambling in America. Final Report of the Commission on the Review of the National Policy Toward Gambling. Washington: 1976; at pages 160 and 164. Although the report was written over 20 years ago, its observations and conclusions are still essentially valid, if not possibly even a bit understated in light of the recent growth of the gambling business in the United States. 1. Introduction The subject of exempt organizations conducting gaming activities, ostensib­ ly to raise funds for charitable uses, has been the focus of a significant amount of interest. The April 1992 Pennsylvania Crime Commission Report entitled, Racketeering and Organized Crime in the Bingo Industry, at page iv, explains why, in its view, bingo may attract a criminal element: Promoters have infiltrated this industry and have very little to fear from law enforcement because of their low profile and be­ cause of the benign way in which society views Bingo.
