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. Meetings are be
j ing hold daily by American Federa
i tion of Dabor representatives. To
! morrow at noon I.ucknow shopmen
will gather on the Lucknow golf
j links for a big session. Short
speeches will he made and reports
| presented on the progress of the
work.
Engine and
Wheels Aren't All
It takes more than tires and gas to
keep a car running. Friction in bear
ings must be overcome to make a car
run regularly and right. There's one
common sense way to do it—Dizonize.

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

cations were presented last meeting

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.
