Mr. Taft points out that the reports have intimated that the Austrian consulate In New York plotted to obtain possession of the cases of serum, which had been prepared by the New York City board of health. In justice to the Aus- trian consul general Mr. Taft, on behalf lof the Red Cross, denled the intimation of the published reports and makes known lm- factsin detall as follows: | “The American Red Cross had a con- | signment of eleven boxes of anti-tetanus |serum, prepared by the New York Ofty board of health, for the Austrian Red Cross.
