Pershing's strong endorsement of the American Red Cross was given here to-day in a statement in support of the third Red Cross roll call, now in progress throughout the United States and possessions. The state ment by the Commander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces was as follows: "The American Red Cross is now engaged in a drive to increase its membership. The end of the war has caused many to feel that fur ther activity in support of this so ciety is not necessary. I cannot too strongly urge upon all citizens the desirability and neeessity for lending their heartiest support to the con tinuation of the work of the Red Cross, particularly during the pres ent period of social unrest through out the world."

I PLENTY OF COAL IN STEEL MILLS Big Stock Was Laid in For Emergency; Shutdowns Seem Remote New York, Nov. 6.—The iron and steel industry has not been adverse ly affected by the coal strike so far as all the large producers had ac cumulated large stocks -of coal In readiness for this emergency. Most of the steel companies could con tinue operations for weeks without serious curtailment for lack of fuel and there is no immediate danger of shutdown, even of the merchant blast furnaces, which would feel the fuel shortage first. The United States Steel Corpora tion is in the most fortunate position as its cooking coal comes almost en tirely from nonunion mines. The independent steel companies get coal from both union and nonunion mines. Regarding conditions in the iron and steel trade at this time, the Iron Age says: "Pig iron production figures for October bear out the estimate made by this Journal during the month of the extent of the shutdowns in the various districts. The total output of the country was 1,863,558 tons, or 60,115 tons, or 60.115 tons a day, against 2,487,965 tons in September, or 82,932 tons a day, the falling off being about 25 per cent. Three weeks of September were free from the strike. "The blast furnaces of steel com panies had an average of 41,796 tons a day in October against 60,954 tons a day in September, a decrease of about 31 per cent. "The improvement in blast fur nace operations has been mnrked in the past two weeks. For the mon a the net gain was 51 furnaces, 213 being in blast on November 1 against 162 on October 1." A. E. F. Sends Back 2,000 Airplanes Washington, Nov. 6.—Since armi stide day 2,000 airplanes, Including 347 of German make, have been re turned to this country from the American Expeditionary Forces, ac cording to a War Department an nouncement HARRISBURG flSslSg, TELEGRAPH JAP NAVAL HEAD TOVISITAMERICA Vice Admiral Kato to Extend Greetings' to All Allied Countries London, Nov. 6.—Vice Admiral Kato, Japanese minister of navy, has arrived here at the head of an official mission which is to visit all of the principal Allied countries, to convey the friendly greetings of Japan and congratulations on the winning of the war. The Japanese admiral has been received by the first lord of the Admiralty to whom he delivered the messuge from his country. The mission will go to the Conti nent to visit France, Belgium and Italy. It will return home byway of America. In a statement pub lished under his name, Admiral Kato says: "My mission is to give to all of the Allies the friendly greetings of Japan and congratulations on the winning of the war. But we are hoping to see something of what is being done by each country in the way of reconstruction after the war. "The great problem for all of the nations now Is to economize, and In Japan we would like to see a gen eral agreement for disarmament. "In my country there are no plans yet for a reduction of the navy or army. We are waiting to see what is done in that way by the othei great powers. That seems to me to be the position of all of the nations. They are willing to disarm, but are watting for a general agreement for that purpose. "The Japanese people are fervent ly hoping for the success of the League of Nations, in which they see the prospect of the establish ment of a permanent peace. All the nations have had enough of war. and the world must now give all its energies to securing lasting peace. "This being so, I rather regret that the Allies are retiring from Russia before the complete pacifica tion of the country has been ob tained. While Russia is in such a disturbed state there is always the probability of another great war breaking out, and I would have been glad to see the Allies energetically take in hand the establishment of a sound, permanent government for that country. "However, Japan will loyally as sist her friends in keeping the peace of the world, and will especially give her aid in this direction to her ally, Great Britain. "We have nearly settled our dif ferences with China, and things in the Far Bast are settling down rapidly."
