HARVARD AERO CORPS
NOW IS BEING PLANNED
Frazier Curtis, go, Starts Move.
Would Train Students for Service
Here or in France.

Cambridge, Mass, March 19.-Plans are
already under way fot the organizati ton
of a Harvard aero corps to be main
tained In connection with the university
regiment. Its purpose will be to train
the students for service with the United
States army and navy, or If the govern
ment permits. for the French war front.
The man responsible for the movement
Is a Harvard graduate, Frazier Curtis,
'9& late of the Escadrille Americana,
DeuXleme Group d'Aviation.
He will obtain the signatures of all
members OF the university interested
in the project, and If the number Is suf-
hcient viii establish a training camp,
to be the preparatory school for the
Aero Corps. The location of the camp,
hangers and repair shops will probably
be on Long Island, or at the old Har-
ward aviation field, in Atlantic City.
An estimate based upon the expenses
of the French military aviation corps at
Pau, places the cost of establishing a
Harvard camp for 200 pupils at about
100000 for fifty pupils $4,000. Mr.. Curtis
will take the French camp as a model In
the organization of the Harvard corps.

APOLOGIES TO
Chairman Webb
U. S. Attorney Marshall Ex-
plains His Charges Against
Judiciary Subcommittee.
HOUSE Is NOT SATISFIED
Second Letter May Not Prevent Fed
eral Official Being Summoned Be-
fore Bar for Contempt.

United States Attorney H. snowden
marshall. of New York, has written a
letter TO Representative Webb, chairman
! OF the House Judiciary Committee, eX-
planning the charges Of unfairness he
made two weeks ago in letter written
70 the Chairman of the subcommittee now
making an investigation of the affairs Of
his Office
Mr.. Marshall's second letter is in the
nature of an apology, but as such it does
not go FAR enough to remove the pos
sioility that he may be summoned be-
Tore the bar OF the House for contempt
In It he says that he did not intend TO
cTiticise all of the members of the Judici-
any Committee nor of the House. But
ne evidently does not include in this
number, II Is said Representatives Car
lin, OF Virginia: Nelson, Of Wisconsin;
ana Gard, Of Ohio, the three members
| of the subcommittee whom he charges
with unfairness in conducting the in
vestigation.
The members of the subcommittee have
been. 1t is said, far from appeased by
Mr.. Marshalrs letter explaining that his
charges did not refer TO the House or
all the members OF the Judiciary Com
mittee,
Both Of Mr., MarshaIl's letters together
with his conduct toward the members Of
the investigating committee in New York
viii be considered by the full Judiciary
Committee tomorrow. At this time the
full committee will take up the question
whether Mr.. Marshall shall be called upon
for an explanation more satisfactory
than the one he has voluntarily made
or whether harsher measures shall be
taken.
| In his original letter to the chsirman
of the investigating committee, Repre-
sentative Carlin. Mr.. Marshall implied
that the inquiry was ordered by the
House TO shield one of its members.
that there were pro-German influences
behind It, and that the subcommittee

Persons interested in the founding In

"Ah. then we must starve," the lanquid

Yep. it's true. The high cost Of liv-
