Charges Burleson
Tried to Mislead
Senate on Tubes
Bankhead Writes of "Mis-
statements" and Untrue
Remarks
Especial Dispatch to The T,ibune)

IT1OunG)
WASHINGTON, May S.-Postmaster
General Burleson is charged with
"glaring misstatements of facts" in
a letter sent to every member of the
Senate to-day by Senator Bankhead of
Alabama, chairman of the Congress
slonal Pneumatic Tube Commission.
which recently recommended that the
government acquire the pneumatic
mail tubes in New York, Boston and
other cities. The letter, which is
signed by Chairman Bankhead and
Senators Hardwick, of Georgia. and
Weeks, fof Massachusetts,, of the COM
mission, is in criticism of a personal
communlcation seat to each Senator
py the Postmaster General, in which
ne urged abandonment of mail tube
service. '"'0
The Congressional Tube Commission
not only severely criticised the nro-
prlety of Mr.. Burleson's attempt to
influence the action of Senator's" after
ne mad had ample opportunity to pre-
sent his case previously, but 20 so far
as to charge that some of the state
ments sent to members of the Senate
were untrue"
Regret the Necessity"
The commission letter reads in part:
Ihe undersigned members of the
commission appointed last year to in
vestlgate the pneumatic tube mail SER
vice In six of the largest cities regret
the necessity for calling attention to
personal letter to members of the
Senate by the Postmaster General, in
whlch he protests the action of five Of
a MI Nf
who, after a thorough investigation.
recommended the purchase of the pneu-
matte tube system, contrary to the pro-
nounced views Of the Postmaster Cen
eral.
The Postmaster General, apparently
not content with having repeatedly
recommended the abandonment of tube
service, attempts to influence the ac-
tlon OF Senators, and addresses a per
sonal letter to each Senator, which,
aslde from number of glaring mis-
ments against the utility value of the
tubes which he and his assistants have
heretofore repeatedly submitted to Con-
gress.
Hot Denial by Senator
"The commission not only did not
ignore the department during it's in
vestigation, but, on the contrary. and
at the very outset, requested the Post
master General to designate one of his
experts, having knowledge of tube SER
vice, to assist the commission, which
was done.
'In each tube city the postmaster
was requested to accompany the com
mission, and from three to five of the
supervisory officials in each office also
accompanied the commission and were
HFeSent throughout the entire. invas
tigation.
"The implied statement in his letter.
expressing regret that the commission
did not summon his officials having
knowledge of the subject, and that
thereby the position of the department
was ignored, cannot be construed other
than as an attempt to prejudice the
minds of Senators and to discredit the
report of the commission"

Of German Charges

WASHINGTON, May 3.--The State
Department has requested the Spanish
Foreign Office to obtain from the Ger
man government information concern
ing the Berlin allegation that Amer
lean aviators have been transported
to France on hospital ships or as am
bulance service members.
The Berlin announcement contained
the claim that the German government
possessed documentary proofs. This
claim was fatty contradicted to-day by
the State Department. The War De-
partment denied it several days ago.
The State Department has taken up
number of cases of alleged mistreat-
ment of American prisoners of war by
Germany, but in every instance the
Berlin government has replied through
the Spanish Embassy at Berlin that
American prisoners are treated exactly
as are other prisoners oe war in Ger
many.
Information received through official
channels indicates that none of Ger
mauy's prisoners of war are very we'll
treated, but that on the contrary their
treatment is bad,

THE THRESHOLD
OF PROSPERITY

The man who talks calamity and
trouble ahead" is looking through
the wrong end of the telescope; he is
blind to the world about him; he is
totally ignorant of existing facts
and conditions; he has not even be-
gun to analyze the situation-take
him in hand and show him the light.
Bounteous crops and good prices
have put greater purchasing power
into the hands of the agriculturist-
the Governor Of prosperity. Building
of all kinds, except for actual war
needs, has been at stand-still for
more than a year; there has been no
road making; the purchasing OF luXu-
ries has had a sharp decline; farm
machinery of all kinds, automobiles
and innumerable other kinds of ar
ticles, implements and equipment
have been under the ban during the
crisis in order to avert mechanical
and human energy to the quick and
successful elimination of the war.
Now that the war is over it is clear
what is going to happen. Advertls-
ing campaigns of great magnitude
will be launched in all lines of busl-
ness: plants working on government
requirements were enlarged to IN
crease production-these plants must
now turn to peace for time products,

ENTITLED TO
ALLOTMENTS.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 4.-The
bureau of War Risk insurance has
asked the State Council of National
Defense to continue it's efforts in
reporting persons who wrongfully
receive allotments from soldiers or
sailors, and all county councils are
urged to be vigilent in running down
such cases and reporting them to
Washingtong, especially during the
period of rehabilitation.
There are cases where dependents
of former soldiers and sailors are
still receiving allotments, after such
soldier or sailor has been discharged
There are cases where pesons ae
Cceiving allowances who are not en-
titled to them under the provisions
of the act.
There are women named as the
wives of men who are not their
wives, and cases where allowances
are being received in the names of
children who are not living.
All such cases should be reported
to the chairman of your county board
in order that the Bureau of War
Risk instance may be Immediately
notified. Unjustified allotments and
allowances breed tendency to idle
ness, says Maj. Rutledge Smith, and
tend to cripple the morale of the
community Besides, they increase
the already large expenditures which
the people are forced to meet through
taxation.

THIRD LIBERTY
 LOAN CAMP AIGN sazE,sy----.kEs....Is ssssszSasB :, BEING PREPARED

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 4. - Probably no other section of the coun- try has made more elaborate prepara- tions for the third Liberty Loan cam paign that the Third Federal Reserve District which embraces two-thirds of Pennsylvania, New Jersey south of Trenton and all of Delaware. Phila- delphia, as the headquarters of this territory. will be the focal point of spectacular interest during the new drive.
 Four art figures in heroic mold have been installed over the four archways of the City Hall here to stimulte in terest in the campaign. Notable among these is a reproduction, in all but the dimensions, of Bartholdi's sta tue of the Goddess of Liberty in New York harbor. Sumounting the other entrances of the municipal building are respectively, gigantic represen- tation of khaki-clad soldier going over the top; tank on the advance and a portrayal of an American bat tleship destroying a German subma- rine.
 The statue of liberty, including the torch. is twenty-nine feet high and, with the pedestal, towers aloft about fifty feet. It is the largest imitation of the bronze presented to America by the French nation ever made and it is expected that it will be entirely ven eered with a coating of medals and nails, the latter to be driven in by bond-subScribers.
 In the base of the statue there is a large room with two entrances. From this a ladder leads to the figure of the goddess. Bond-buyers will be fur nished with medals on which their in- itials will be stamped and with these they expect to weld a complete coat of mail for Liberty" long before the campaign is completed.
 Delegations from all over the Third Federal Reserve District have planned oilglimages to the city to take part in this unique pledge of patriotism.
