Graft in Airplanes
Doubted by Anthony

WASHINGTON, May Discussing

House to-day. Representative Anthony
OF Kansas, Republican member of the

not believe there was any "graft' in

"lf Charles +. Hughes expects to find
any criminal graft in his investigation
he will be on wild goose chase"
The army men who are in charge of
spending the money arc not that kind"
Mr.. Anthony added. "Thc blundcrs
that have been made are due to lack
of business sense. That is why we
haven't an adequate supply of combat
planes now. Under the new arrange
mcnt, however, l believe we will get

Mr.. Anthony said the War Depart

With Dual Monarch,

WASHINGTON, May ga tele-
gram from Zurich to-day says the
"Stuttgarter Neucs Tageblatt" pub
fishes long article about the famine
in the German provinces Of Austria
and the political danger from such a
situation. The "Tageblatt" article
says:
"Heartrendng appeals from our
brothers have been reaching us for
two weeks, as they are starving, not
only in western Bohemia, but in Car
inthia, Styria and Tyrol. The fate of
the unfortunate Germans in Austria
does not arouse enough sympathy in
Germany. Many of our compatriots 20
as far as to say that if the Austrians
are starving it is their own fault.
This policy, which seemed justified
at first, is no less dangerous if one
considers that Hungary is tightly
closed and does not allow anything to
go into Austria. On the other hand,
the Czechs and Jugoslavs keep their
food supplies for themselves and re-
fuse to share with the Germans. If
Germany does not find some remedy
for the situation, the alliance itself
will be Threatened -
