Denies U. S. Metals Refining
Company Taken by Government

The statement in the EVENING
NEWS yesterday that the plant Of the
United States Metals Refining Co,
Chrome, would be placed under the
governments immediate supervision,
was incorrect. The United States Met
ais Refining Co, with copper refinery
and smeltery at Chrome, and with an
eiectrolytic lead refining plant at East
Chicago, Indiana, Is operated and con-
trolled entirely by the United states
Smelling, Refining & Mining Co. of
Boston, Mass.
The further statement that Messrs.
l.. Vogelstein & Co. of AZ Broadway,
and Landheimer & Beers Co. beer,
Sondheimer & Coz of New York City,
have the controlling interest in the
United States Metals Refining Co, was
Incorrect and the EVENING NEWS -
glad to get its readers Alright. 1t is
true that l.. Vogelstein & Co. hold
nearly one-third of the United States
Metals Refining Company's stock, but
they nave had no part in either the
policy or management of the plant for
the past nine years. Beer, Sondhei-
mer & Co. have never been stockhold-
ers IN the United States Metals REIN
ing Co. The EVENING NEWS Is glad
to state that the United States Metals
Refining Co.'S plant at Chrome is run
ming to its full capacity of approx
mately 10000 toni per month of cleo
trolytic copper which it is producing
for the use of the government and its
Allies In the War with the Hun"
The management of the United
Metals Refining Co. is 100 per-
cent. American and there is not a
single Office or director of the United
States Smelling, Refining e. Mining ca.
of Boston, which controls the United
States Metals Refining Co, that is not
an American citizen. The copper
plant at Chrome Is one OF the four big
eastern refineries engaged at the mo
ment in producing electrolytic cope
practically all of which is used for war
purposes. The statement IN the
EVENING NEWS that on
ciais of L. Vogelstein & Co. were at
present at Fort Oglethorpe, Ca, as
enemy aliens. is incorrect. MI. L. Vo-
gelstein. president of l.. Vogelstein &
Co. is an American citizen, and the

RED CROSS NOTES
Aggressive Campaign Of coneerva.
ton 10 Of Vital importance

The Augusta Chapter Of the Red
Cross has received the following
notice:
We must vitalize the campaign for
Fruit Stones. Nut Shells, Platinum
and Tin. 1t Is tagging. People don't
yet appreciate its Importance. Re-
suits show it-they are so far very
discouraging.
Once arouse the Red Cross to the
vital need Of any work and the Red
Cross will do miracles. Now this
campaign is vital. We must have
fruit stones and nut shells: we must
have tin; We must have platinum
and we must have them in ten
times the quantity and ten times as
fast as we are getting them now
You cannot make the right kind of
carbon for gas masks without fruit
stones and nut shells. You cannot
make motors without platinum. You
cannot make steamships and rail-
road cars without tin.
There must be receptacles for
fruit stones and nut shells and others
for tin in every household. in every
public place. and at branch and
chapter headquarters.
Tell all organizations engaged in
this work to send fruit stones and
nut shells to the nearest collection
center, whether 1t be al your juris-
diction or not. Tell those collecting
platinum and tin to send only to
Chapter headquarters in whose
Jurisdiction they are located.
The Government cannot get all it
wants alone; it asks the Red Cross to
help it. Will the Red Cross fail the
Government in this? You must ans
wer this by your actions. A per-
functory campaign won't do. It
must be rousing big one. thorough
~ organized to last as long as the
necessity exists.
Remember that it is only from the
shells Of nuts that carbon is made,
but for convenience. the husks need
not be removed.
