! A Puposky correspondent wishes
| to correct a very evident mistake
made in last weeks Pioneer or at
least right a wrong impression con-
corning the carload Of wood for the
Red Cross which the paper stated
was furnished by Buena Vista people.
AS a matter of fact about as much
wood was contributed by Puposky
people as Buena Vista people, and as
we believe in giving credit Where
credit is due, some mention of the
loyal patriots of Puposky who mot
only contributed wood but who load
ed the car here as well, should be
made. r.
We do not wish to- be patted on
the back or to throw bouquets at
ourselves, but we try to do our share
and we want fair mention Of what
we do. We are not fond of blowing
our own horn, preferring to let 9th
ers do that, so our names are With
held. We are merely loyal patriots
of Puposky. ..
Editors note-Thats the stuff
| Puposky. If we got on the wrong
track we're sorry. Fact is, we were
informed that the car of wood in
question was contributed by the
patriots cir the vicinity Of Buena
VISTA" hence the unintentional over.
sight on our part. Glad to have you
straighten it out for us. We assure
you we're "for" you all up that way
and you may rest assured you fellows
got your "horn blowed" for you,
both by the Red Cross officers and
members of the chapter.

Major 7. B. Anderson
Killed While Calamity
Leading His Troops

The Latrobe Bulletin from letters
received publishes the story of how
Major Thomas b. Anderson, COM
mander of the Third battalion Gin
cluding Company NJ, Caotain e. j.
Stackpole) of the 1tGth United
States Infantry, met lis death on
Thursday, September 5. after hav-
ing experienced single days rest
back of the line" SAYS the narrative,
following siXty-seVen days of con-
tinuous service under fire the regi-
ment had been hurriedly summoned
back to the front to participate in
the drive against the Huns who had
begun to fall back from the Vesle to
the Aisne. The regiment was in the
action about a mile and half north
of the Nesle river in the vicinity of
Fismes. The Third battalion under
Major Anderson was in the lead. The
Germans were being pushed back
steadily, but were employing their
customary methods of harassing
and trying to delay the advance of
the Americans through the use of
hidden machine gun nests"
Major Anderson decided to lead
the patrols himself against a par
ticularly annoying nest of machine
gunners and refused to stay back,
replying to a protest of one of the
officers: do you think I would ask
my boys to do anything l would not
dc myself?" Turing to the men he
shouted, Come on boys, let's get
them!" leading the way with a club
in one hand and his revolver in the
other.
He led the patrol along a sunken
road for nearly 500 yards and Just
after starting over the crest was hit
by seven machine gun bullets. He
was carried back and died in twenty
minutes without speaking.

HUGHES MAKES AIR REPORT

Charles Evans Hughes arrived here
from Washington and announced
that he had completed his report on
the aircraft situation, and had given
it to Attorney General Gregory for
presentation to the President. lie
would not discuss his findings
According to a Washington dis
patch published late in August, the
report of the Senate Military Com
mittee on the airplane program rep
resented in general way the ma
ture of criticisms to be made in the
report of Justice Hughes, for the De-
partment of Justice. This report, it
was then said, would seek to lay
blame for inetiiciency, extravaganza
and doubtful contract practices to
individuals or interests. These will
be named in the report submitted
to the President.

COMMITTEE WILL
MEET TO DECIDE
ON AIRCRAFT INQUIRY
Hughes and Gregory Go Ahead
With Preparations For
Complete Probe
By L. C. Martin

Washington, May 22.-Granted full
authority by the senate to investigate
aircraft production and every other
phase of war department work, the SEN
ate military affairs committee met this
afternoon to determine whether to hold
its aircraft inquiry in allegiance.
Senator Chamberlain, committee
chairman, indicated that developments
during the day" might result in the
committee deciding that for the present,
at least, it will not investigats along
lines parallel to the department of jus
tice inquiry.
Chamberlain was to place before the
committee the new developments and
ask the committee to decide.
In any event the subcommittee on
air craft will be named and even if it
does not plunge at once into an inquiry
will visit aircraft factories, gathering
data which will be used either in the
committee s own probe or by the de-
partment of justice.
The committee today will decide on
its contention that an investigation
should be made in spite of President
Wilson'S expressed view that congress
sional investigation is unnecessary in
view of the appointment of Charles E.
Hughes to assist the department of jus.
tice in its probe.
