states, as developed in the organiza-
tion Of the army for the war with
Germany. was given before the sen

Edwin F. Glenn and the revelations
that he made are expected 10 go a
long way toward promoting the es-

Gen. Glenn cited concrete in

THE RED CROSS
HAS ONLY SOLD
SURPLUS STOCK
Inaccurate Reports of Mer-
ChandiSe Sales Lead to
Official Statement.

PARIS. Sept. 27.-Because many
inaccurate reports Of large sales Of
American Red Cross merchandise
have appeared in the past few
weeks, Red Cross headquarters If
Paris has issued a statement ex-
planning that the only materials
which have been sold are certain
perishables. second hand equipment
surplus stock and articles which can
no longer be used for direct relief
work, either in France or in eastern
Europe.
The totaI sales Of surplus and
secondhand material by the Ameri-
can Red Cross in Europe will ag-
gregate not more than 100000
francs. says the Red Cross, while
the value of the relief material dis
tributed in Europe during July and
August alone will amount 10 more
than 100. 100000 francs.
Operate in IL Countries.
The American Red Cross is now
conducting operations in II Euro
pean countries. The relief mate
rial distributed in France, mainly
m the devastated districts, since the
armistice, is valued at over 1885,
600. 600 francs. while in the same
period other European countries
have received more than 100000
600 francs worth Of similar sup
plies, including not only medical
and surgical material. but also
clothing, food. barracks, etc.
Turn Stocks Into Cash.
Unexpectedly heavy expenses of
work in Poland and the Balkan
states, and the beginnings of new
relief activities in western and
Southern Russia made it advisable
TO turn these stocks into cash TO as
sist the relief programs. as well as
to save certain of the accumulated
stocks from total loss.
"Of all the relief material in the
American Red Cross warehouses on
May /. one-third was set aside for
distribution in the devastated dis
tricts Of France. The distribution
OF this material is still continuing
and will continue for months TO
come. while the shipments Of re-
lief material 10 the commissions in
eastern Europe are on a consta ntly
increasing scale and viii continue
thus for many months
In the meantime the shipment
Of further relief material from the
United States continues In a large
way. and we have recently received
notice from America of the early
shipment Of supplies valued at
nearly 4O.OOO.0OO francs"

RED CROSS TO SEND UNIT
AND SUPPLIES TO MINSK

PARIS, Sept. 27.-As a sequel to
the capture Of Minsk by the Polish
army. the American Red Cross has
authorized the sending OF a field
unit into that city from its head
quarters in Eastern Poland. The
efforts Of the Red Cross unit will be
mainly concerned with general re
lief and anti-typhus work. Supplies
for the new work are being furnish
ed from the American Red eros:
warehouses in Bielystok.
Reports from Minsk say that peo-
pie are dying fast OF hunger and
typhus. Medicines, soaps and nour-
ishing foods are the most impera-
tive needs. A soup kitchen will also
be set up in Minsk.

Packers Haze Them
All Skinned zOith
the Lobby de Luxe''

them they hired a considerable sec
ton OF a downtown office building
and went in strong for publicity
Their lobby has been conducted in
the open and has been directed to-
ward the end OF getting their side
Of the case before congress and the
country. This has been done so
thoroughly and skillfully that if the
packers came through with a whole
skin they may thank their lucky
stars that they were wise enough
to can secret methods and hire a
press agent who was onto his job
Getting Right People.
Coupled with the matchless pub
licity service Of the lobby de luxe
is the very effective way the packers
seem TO have of maneuvering wit
nesses and getting the right people
to testify. Witnesses could not come
to Washington from al over the
United States, pay the dominant
hotel rates and return home without
considerable expense. Did this stand
in the way? Oh, boy, Somewhere
around Washington there was a good
angel that took care Of these things
and nobody suffered.
On the whole, the lobby de luxe
has been so we'll managed as to chal-
lenge the admiration of even w. B.
COlver, chairman Of the federal
trade commission, whose principal
occupation for several months has
been 10 poke the packers with a
sharp stick.
What I call twentieth century
publicity has proved most effec-
tive" said Commissioner Colver
The packers took a suite Of rooms
in one Of the largest buildings Of
the city. hired newspaper men of
skill and then proceeded to put
witnesses through a course Of train
ing. The evening before they were
10 appear before the committee a
mimeographed copy OF what was to
be their testimony was handed each
newspaper correspondent in Wash
ington.
This was very good OF the pack
ers," continued Commissioner Col
YER with growing enthusiasm. They
saved the newspaper men a whole
lot Of work. They covered the hear
ings for them and made unneCes-
sary the appearance in person Of the
correspondent in the committee
room. Many of the witnesses claim
ed to speak for the farmers. They
gave testimony favoring the side of
the packers. This appeared to me
TO be extraordinary.
81 saw the light. however. when
some OF them testified that they
paid their own expenses. but were
urable TO tel what the fare was
from their home 10 this city. Others
said they were living at fashionable
hotels. but were unable to inform
the committee regarding the rates
they were paying. OF course the
packers paid their expenses"
Close observers here entertain
serious doubts as 10 whether the lob
by de luxe, as exemplihed by the
/ packers. will become a permanent
feature in the national life. It is
believed, however. that Il will have
its influence on future methods of
lobbying. which will bear more to-
ward publicity than heretofore. Not
every special interest has enough
financial axle grease 10 put across
the plan. but for those that have il
l seemG TO be the ideal method.

GERMANS HAVE
NEW PLAN FOR
RESERVE ARMY
As Yet Scheme is Confined to
One Regiment Without
Sanction of Ministry.

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY. Sept. 27.-An en-
tirely new scheme for establishing
reserve army in Germany in antici-
patton of some future opportunity
to establish German military pow
err is seen by some German newspa-
pers in a plan they have just dis
covered and exposed.
While the scheme is confined to
only one regiment and so probably
has no sanction from the war min
istry it is an indication, in the opin-
ion of American army officers who
for eight months have been studying
rehabilitation of the German forces
of how hard Prussian militarism
dies.
Urge Signing Up.
The lightschlag corps in West
phalia. now the 62nd reichswehr
(national army regiment of the
31st reichswehr brigade, has sent
out circulars TO all men who have
served in this volunteer unit since
the armistice, urging tn n to sign
a pledge TO answer to a call to the
colors in the event Of general dis
order or a new revolution. The
Freiheit. the independent socialist
organ in Berlin, suggests that the
men responsible for the scheme
really have i'm mind something more
than suppression OF disorders. the
paper then quoting from the circu-
lar as follows:
soon the time viii come when
the fatherIand will have need of ev-
cry resolu-e and proven arm.
The circular, according 10 the
newspapers, says that the corps is
organizing a reserve" from among
the best o. its released soldiers this
reserve to be called into the service
of the corps in time Of need. De
tails are then given Of the method
of issuing such a call The Fret
heit in a recent issue, demanded to
know who had given the corps the
right to establish such a reserve and
to promise regular reichswehr or
national army TO these 'reservists'
whenever called.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Sept 27.-
Behold the lobby de luxei
1t remained for the Big Five"
packers 10 develop what amounts TO
the last word" in lobbying. The
national capital has seen Hobbies
come and Hobbies go. but the one
that is now performing here in be-
half OF the packers has got them
all skinned" to use a phrase that
seems not altogether out of place
in connection with the packing
business.
1t is the best creased financially
speaking), most skilfully engineered
and, on the whole, the most effec-
tive lobby Washington has seen. Its
operations are conducted with more
wisdom than former Hobbies, and on
altogether different lines. Just as
Prest Wilson has frequently de-
clared that service is the keynote Of
human happiness, this lobby would
not be happy unless it could serve
somebody, which it is always striv-
ing to do.
One of The Best.
As the head Of its newspaper
work it has employed one of the best
and wisest newspaper men Of his
day. This man is shrewd and
sagacious politician, big enough and
capable enough to be the political
adviser Of a president Of the United
States His newspaper ability is of
the superlative degree and be knows
how to organize men and get re-
suits.
From the standpoint of the Wash
ington correspondents he has made
the newspaper service o. the pack
erS' lobby a thing Of beauty and a
JOY forever. Through his organiza-
ton he has covered" all OF the
meetings of the senate agricultural
committee during the long investi-
cation of the packers, covered them
thoroughly. honestly and accurately.
His reports have been entirely de-
pendable from the start. If a wit
ness kicked a lung out of the pack
ers ne reported the testimony Of
that witness as completely and &C
rurately as he reported the testi-

packers His reports became gem
orally accepted for their dependa
bility, and they certainly did come
in handy, being delivered by mes
senger at the Offices of the cor
respondents e.ery day.
Special Reports.
Furthermore this wonderfully
organized and conducted press lob
by went further and specialized for
the benefit OF the correspondents
who wished particularly to cover To-
cal fields. If a witness came here
from Podunk and submitted a line
of testimony that was highly inter
esting 10 Podunk but OF no interest
to the remainder of the country. the
packers press service would see TO
II that the correspondents OF the
newspapers that circulated in Po-
dunk received special reports OF
that testimony II they desired it.
This much must be conceded by
the most violent enemies Of the
packers. Their lobby has been con-
Quoted on exactly reverse principles
from the typical Hobbies with which
Washington has been most familiar.

in private and sequestered quarters

praises Of Glaman for valuable as
