QUESTION OF SHOES
FOR ILIPnNO SCOUTS
Better Barefooed Than Shod They Are Says General
Wood-Tropc Costume Not a New Controversy.

Cen Leonard Woods criticism Of the
kind of shoes issued to the scouts II,
the Philippines in his annual report,
made public the other day, has aroused
comment among army officers.
General Wood said that the shoes
furnished the scouts are altogether in
appropriate. since they pinch and ruin
the scouts feet, rendering him a cium-
sy and poor marcher.''
In this connection army officers re-
call the controversy which General
new style marching shoe. which he ad-
vocated should be adopted for the gen
eral use Of the army. General Wood
took such an enthusiastic interest in
the matter that he personally had a
shoemaker prepare a design which was
submitted to the quartermaster's de-
partment for inspection, and was final
ly exhibited to Mr.. Root, then Secre-
tary Of War, to pass upon.
Secretary Root. after long investi-
CATION Of the entire shoe subject. con-
cluded that General Woods design
would not do 1t was thrown out on
the ground that 1t was too elaborate
and too expensive.
Since then the quartermaster's depart
ment,o with the approval OF the Secre-
tary OF War. has adopted a new style
of shoe which is to be issued to the
army as soon as the present supply is
used up This. it is said. will be in about
a year.
The shoe which General Wood advo-
Gated was OF russet calf with tops
reaching about four inches above the

ankle. doubie-soled. and pegs on the
soles. II Is realized that General Wood
could not have had this design in mind
when he recommended a change. as the
double soles are rarely used by the
troops In the tropics.
The whole subject of equipping the
soldiers In the Philippines and at South
ern stations. has been a troublesome one
TO the War Department, inasmuch as
only limited amount of money is al
lowed for the preparation of new de-
signs. and often It has been found that
the patterns are not altogether satisfac-
tory after the issue has been made.
General Wood. in discussing the equip
ment Of the scouts, goes so far as to
suggest even that they be allowed to go
barefoo.ed- This is against the pre-
scribed military regulations.
Inasmuch as the value OF these troops
probably most important in the Philip
pines-is, according TO General Wood.
practically destroyed. it Is felt certain
that there VIII be serious consideration
OF his project
General Wood says at present the
scout Will .-if left 10 himself. carry
his shoes most of the time and only
wear them In exceptionally rough and
thorny country
He recommends In his report that a
lighter blanket be issued to the troo-.
