Summary of Activity The national Red Cross has issued the following summary, showing what the organization is accomplish -1 ing: i The American Red Cross is the largest and most efficient organiza- I tion for the relief of suffering that ' the world has ever seen, j It is made up almost entirely of ' volunteer workers, the higher execu ! tives being, without exception, men . accustomed to large affairs, who are i giving their services without pay. It is supported entirelM by its ! membership fees and by voluntary i contributions. It is to-day bringing relief to suf ; fer'ng humanity, both military and civil, in every War-torn allied j country. It plans to-morrow to help in the : work of restoration throughout the I world. It feeds and clothes entire popu | lations in times of great calamity. It is there to help your soldier boy I in his time of need. In its thousands of workers. Its j tremendous stores and smooth-run | ning transportation facilities, it is a ! perfect example of America's genius i for organization, of America's gen erosity, and of America's will to Win j the War. Congress authorizes it. President Wilson heads it. The War Department audits its accounts. Your Army, your Navy and your Allies enthusiastically endorse It. Twenty-two million Americans j have joined it. Federation of Labor Men to Hold Noon Meeting Campaigners who are here organ | izing railroad shopmen are showing \ increased activity.

JOSEPH DIXON CRUCIBLE CO. £><*><s BORGLUM SAYS GROUP HALTED PLANE PROBER Officials He Approached Tried to Mislead and Keep Truth From Him By Associated Press Washington, May 7.—Upon learn ing of the publication of letters and messages addressed to him by Presi dent Wilson in connection with the aircraft program, Gutson Borglum, last night gave out the text of an open letter to the President In which he expressed the hope that the "cam ouflage deliberately planned by a group of men entrusted with a great arm of our military machine has come to an end," but added that the chart of reconstruction of the avia tion organization filled him "with definite alarm." Mr. Borglum said he had noticed the publicity given his correspond ence with something more than a shock and that he could hardly in terpret it as friendly. In the course of a long letter he declared that "the aero department Is full of prof iteering and that hundreds of mil lions have gone," and that when he commenced his investigation from an office in the War Department build ing assigned to him, his work was systematically blocked, to the ex tent even of threatening witnesses. He named in this connection Stanley King, assigned as an aid to his work, and asserted that Major General Squier, chief of the signal corps, "acted in like manner." Says Aid in Probe Was Withheld "Every official that I approached and from whom I had the right to receive aid and courtesy entered in to a general conspiracy to deceive, to mislead, and to prevent learning the truth about the aeronautic situ ation," the letter continued. "I do not presume to give the reason for this." Remarking that Colonel E. A. Deeds, an Army member of the air craft board, has said semipublicly that 1,200 American plane: were flying in France, the sculptor as serts. that in fact to-day there are less than 20 planes. "I have said the aero department is full of profiteering." the letter said, •"that hundreds of millions have gone, that factories have been creat ed where there were no factories nec essary and contracts to the extent of fifty millions given to men who had neither rhyme nor reason for the remotest connection with the emerg ency of airplane production, but who had the pull of Deeds and who are still floundering in their ignor ance and incompetency, unable and incapable of fulfilling their con tracts, still drawing under the cost plus system on the treasury of the nation. "I have said that aeronautic men have been snubbed and ignored, and that factories that knew the art of airplane building are even at this writing without the slightest con sideration by the group who dealt out the colossal funds for their own purpose." Charges Alarm Borglum Liberty motors were developed for the purpose of monopolizing the engine making business in the coun try, Borglum asserted and he con cluded: "Charges more grievous could not have been made against a depart ment or a group of men. Seven or eight investigations have been made besides my own and there is no sin gle denial of anything I charge. The camouflage deliberately planned by a group of men entrusted with a great war arm of our military ma chine has come to an end. at least 1 hope it lias come to an end, but the chart of reconstruction which I saw the day before yesterday tills me with definite alarm." Mr. Borglum also gave out a copy of a letter to President Wilson, dated January 21, transmitting his first report, which complained of at tempts to block his investigation by officials, but asserted that he had been able to connect "the broken links of a chain of dishonesty and disorder that runs throughout our production department." MtTl'AI, ASSOCIATION TO MEET The monthly meeting of Local As sembly, No. 4, Mutual Beneficial As sociation of Pennsylvania Railroad Employes, Incorporated, will be held in Odd Fellows' Hall, UO4 North Sec ond street, to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock. AH applicants whose appli cations were presented last meeting have been asked to be examined by Medical Examiner Dr. Dickinson, 228 North Second street, so as to be obli gated at the meeting to-morrow night.

Dr. Bagnell's patriotic war work, his stirring addresses and his grasp of the task the United States is facing in the war has brought him prominently to the front in Central Pennsylvania.

Dr. Bagnell is to make his head quarters at the offices of American University Union in Paris and will go from there to the front lino trenches and to the numerous Red cross, Y. M. C. A. and K.

Prejudice Against English Not Based on Fact, Writes Harrisburg Boy in France "The proper and principal bolster of Prance and Kngland is food; food in large quantities. Consequently I cannot make the point str6ng enough, that is. that our people should be ex tremely conservative in the use of all solid and portable foods." So writes Gordon C. Werner, a former Harrisburg boy from the front in Picardy. Werner was In the class of 1917 at the Technical High School. He is now in active service on the French front, and is a son of George A. Werner, city school director. In a letter to his brother, George A. Werner, Jr., 240 Kmerald street, he discusses the present situation; "People who grumoie and wiio are evasive about the food restrictions "know not what they do.' That old, wornout prejudice against lCngland la always uppermost In these people's minds. I wish we could rid our selves of that nonsense once and for all time. I wish we could consider that England at the time of our trouble was under a German kin#; a king who spoke little but German. "No people could have been more considerate of us than were the English last September. Crowds were congregated at every station from the north to the south. In fact, the people were universal in their desire to make our stay as pleasant as possible, from the King and Queen who reviewed us, to the most obscure Individual on the island. "That unwarranted prejudice, characteristic of we bigoted Ameri cans, finds Its root in the public schools. A nation must have some traditional likes and dislikes Us an heritage from the other days and In our case, England has been the vll lian and France the guardian spirit. But thanks to this trouble, Ameri cans have got to see England iis England and Englishmen as they realy are. wholehearted. inipulsiv and generous. 1 hope and believe that this war will break down bar riers and establish a closer under standing among English-speaking peoples.
