1T is evident that rumors and
innuendoes critical of and calculated
to embarrass and injure the Ameri-
can Red Cross are being Industrious
" circulated as part Of an ANTI-PA-
TRI0TIC PROPAGANDA. In so
far as such statements or questions
are merely efforts to obtain infor-
nation; they should be earnestly and
sincerely met; but many Of the sto-
ries, utterly unwarranted in fact,
emanate SIMULTANEOUSLY from
too many different parts Of the coun-
try to be merely accidental or a CO.
incidence. Please advise ali Chapters
in Southwestern Division to notify
all workers, personally and officially,
as well as advising their local press
and other forms of publicity, and
everyone with whom they come in
contact, of the character of this an
ti-patriotic movement which is on
foot. Red Cross members and the
public generally should be urged to
proceed on the theory that nothing
should be believed against the Red
Gross until thoroughly investigated.
Ask each Chapter to send to your
Division Headquarters Office account
of all such rumors and criticisms be-
ing circulated, as well as state
ment of the source from which they
come, with whatever information is
obtainable, definite or indefinite. Ev-
cry criticism should be carefullv in
.vestigated and if found to be iusti-
fled, cause for criticism should be
removed either in the Chapter, in
the Division Headquarters, or in the
National Headquarters at Washing
ton. In all cases the Red Cross will
bring facts to the attention of inter-
ested persons.
at is very important that Division
Headquarters and each Local Chap
ter should clearly understand that
the reputation and standing Of the
Red Cross is entrusted to the local Of
ficers and interested members in each
community. and hope that every crit
icism or innuendo against the Red
Cross should be Immediately chal-
lenged and followed up as a patriot
ic duty, without regard to hurting
somebody's feelings or any personal
consideration.

To All Chapters, Branches and Aux
iliaries-Southwestern Division:
We are daily amazed at the dis
closures by United States Depart
ment of the state showing the lengths
to which Prussian intrigue, infamy
and conspiracy has been conducted
in this country to form public opin-
ion favorable to our enemies. That
same policy is still being insidious-
ly cultivated throughout the entire
country, in large places and small.
When you made application for,
and accepted. the direction of the
Red Cross organization in your COM
munity, you undertook a solemn OBJ
legation to protect the interests of
the Red Cross in every way. You,
Of course, are quite ready to fulfill
that obligation. One way in which
you can do so now is to be energetic
in ferreting out every kind of a re-
port or rumor which tends to assail
the character, integrity or effective
ness of the work Of the American
Red Cross. If our enemies can shake
the confidence of the American
people in this, it's most representa-
tive and democratic organization,
they will have accomplished more
than they could accomplish in many
battles and much bloodshed at the
front. |, therefore, commend to you
most earnestly the careful study of
a telegram today received from the
General Manager of the American
Red Cross, Mr.. Harvey D. Gibson, and
request that you make every effort
to give it publicity, and to have ev-
cry person in your community I'M
derstand that whenever there is sus-
picion or doubt on any subject what
ever regarding the Red Cross, its ac-
tivities. its methods, or its integrity,
that such things should be immedia-
tely reported to you-the custodian
of the Red Cross honor in your ter
ritory You should then promptly
"kill" any false rumors, at the same
time reporting them Immediately to
this office, whether they seem to you
important or not. Please do your
b 4st to have this letter, including Mr..
Gibson's telegram, published in all
of your local papers, trade papers,
etc,

that is not of standard grade when mixed
with acid phosphate as good as 1922
fertilizer. and which is the cheaper when the
meal sells at SIS ton and the 1922 at
S33 tUnt
Presumably the grade of meal about
which you write contains only 0.1S per
cent of nitrogen. In that event there
is only q little more than 100 pounds
of nitrogen in a ton. along with about
so pounds of phoSphOrlc aciG and sc
pounds of potash. ZOO pounds of this
if mixed with 1000 pounds of acid
phosphate, would give you formula
containing about 2.5 per cent available
nitrogen. 81 per cent available phos-
phoric acid. s. per cent available potash.
Your formula would thus run somewhat
lower i'm phosphoric acid and potash
than that which you indicate you can
buy at $500 per ton. On the other
hand. presumably you can buy 6 per
cent acid phosphate at $1,000 to $4,000
per ton. In that event 1000 pounds of
ii would cost $1,000, while one-half a
ton Of meal would cost $3.50. Your
home produced formula would. therefore
cost you, as I'VE understand it. about
$3.50. We believe this shows about
the relative difference between the two
mixtures indica ted In other words. we
are inclined to think that the 1922
formula at $4,000 a ton about as cheap

buying the materials and mixing them
