Private Hopkins Explains

Soldiers of General Persning's ex-
peditionary force who undesignedly
raised rumors that the American
Red Cross--or its representatives
had been selling sweaters and other
articles to the troops, are Fastening
to correct the false impression. A
careful investigation made by the
Red Cross clearly establishes the fact
that there is no basis for any such
charge.
A cablegram states that Lleuten-
ant H. A. Deesback, of the 10th In
fantry, American Expeditionary
Force, h asobtained the followin g
signed copy of a letter from Oscar
B. Hopkins, Co. G, 18th Infantry, to
Mrs. Minerva Allison dated February
IT, 1918:
Il am writing line to correct a
statement regarding letter l wrote
you November IA, 1877, concerning
the Red Cross In a thoughtless mo-
ment 1 wrote that the Red Cross
charges two prices for things they
sold us; but as a matter of fact l
have never known them to sell any
thing to anyone. | am indeed sor-
ry that my thoughtlessness caused
ter to any of the Red Cross workers
and offer my apologies"
Reports concerning the alleged
sale of sweaters were contained in
letters written by Private Emmett
Murphy, of the 149th Field Artillery,
and Private Douglas A. Ferguson, of
the 18th Railway Engineers. Sub
sequently Private Ferguson volun-
tarily gave a signed statement to the
effect that the references in his
letters were based purely on rumor
and his intent was that mis- sister
should take the hint" and send a
sweater direct to him. Private Fer
guson says in conclusion: L hope
on the other side everything will be
done that can be to correct my er-
ror in making a statement based up
on rumors only"
Uncle Sam has started to round up
alien enemies and similar move
ment is under way in northern
