The review was held in the large military observation near Berlin. More than 1o0,- 600 soldiers passed in review before the Kadser and his staff and their honored gueat.

He denied with vigor that he had
been actuated with selfish purposes
and insisted that his friendship for
President Wilson has never been mis-
used. A detailed statement OF how
an air craft manufacturer has been
blocked by Ohio groups is being pre-
pared by Mr.. Borglum and he is also
preparing a more comparative denial
OF the charges against him.
