Blue Jean 0veralls Doomed.

CHICAGO, November 17.-If the Euro
pean war keeps up. it is quite likely
there will be no more blue jeans, and
toiiers of the future may be garbed in
overalls of pink or gray. according to
the prediction of +. 4. Hamburger, sec
retary of the National Association of
Garment Workers, which has begun its
semi-annuaI session here THE supply
OF blue vegetable dye is just about ex-
hausted," he said. "and we are unable
to get more. as Germany is the sole ex-
porter of the blue dyes used here"

100000 IN BELGIUM
IN NEED OF CLOTHING
If Not Helped Immediately Then
suferings Will Be Desperate Dur
ing the Winter.

NEW YORK, November 17.-More
than 100000 persons in Belgium and
northern France. mostly women and
young children. must be clothed and
shod by Christmas. If the garments
and shoes for these destitute people
are not forthcoming at once their suf-
ferings during the winter will become
desperate
Such is the note of an urgent appeal
issued to the people of the United
States by the commission for relief in
Belgium. The New York committee
has received from Mr.. Herbert Hoover,
chairman of the commission, the fol-
lowing statement:
1T appears to me that it is neces-
sary for us to go frankly to the Ameri-
can people and ask them to clothe the
destitute in the occupied areas of Bel
GUM and northern France during the
coming winter.
There are 100000 people in these
areas, and of these more than one
third are now either wholly or par
TALLY destitute, and are today receiv-
ing their food either wholly or par
TALLY without payment.
No Reserve for Clothing.
"As you know, we have set up eco
nomic measures based on the ability of
a portion of the population to pay for
its food, which, with the contributions
Of other countries, enables us for the
present to find the bare minimum of
food supplies for the whole 9.O0O.0 900
people; but we have no reserves with
which to provide clothing for the des-
titute. We now plead for help on their
behalf .'---'..'.'
even if these 100000 people had
money they could not import clothes
or the raw materials with which to
manufacture them through the block
ade into an area under military occu-
patton. While the better classes have
some clothing with which they can get
along, the destitute are composed of
the working classes, which naturally
had little reserves of clothing when
the war broke out. The only additions
they have received since then have
been the GENEROUS contributions from
America, Canada and elsewhere. BY
Christmas time all the clothing which
We have in our various establishments
will be exhausted.
"It is a certainty that the undue ex-
posure of underclad men, women and
children to the bitter winter Will
greatly increase mortality. The cloth
ing for these people can be provided
only if we receive gift supplies for the
purpose. We must depend upon the
American people. @

Must Have New Garments.

1--WE have arranged that the cost of
transportation of clothes from any
central point in the United States to
Belgium and northern France and of
the distribution will be paid for out
of funds which have been especially
provided, SO that the whole American
contributions will reach the destitute
without one cent of deduction.
"In the matter of the character. OF
clothing for these people, we are sur
rounded with multitude of difficult
ties. In the first instance the drastic
sanitary arrangements made by the
governments through whose territory
we must pass make the introduction

of secondhand clothing. especially in
the areas of the operating armies
where the want will be greatest, prac-
tically impossible.
I'VE therefore must ask frankly for
new clothing, and more particularly
for unmade material. Not that the
destitute in Belgium and northern
France are not intensely grateful for
of necessity. we are forced to ask only
for unworn stuffS."

AN INQUIRY FOR ONE
DEPARTMENT TO-DAY

ALBANY, Jan. Political interest Is
centred in the coming Investigation OF
State departments which was promised
today by Gov. Whitman in his inaugural
address An announcement is expected
tomorrow from state Comptroller Travis
that his examiners will begin an investisa-
tlon AT once OF one department.
Ex-Gov. Suffers first announcement two
years ago was that he would create
committee OF inquiry TO investigate all the
STATE departments and bureaus, but II is
not believed that Gov. Whitman intends
to have a committee 20 do the work. II
was asserted that he will name special
commissioner under the Noreland ac'.
The Governor is not seeking criminal
prosecutions What he wants to ind out
is the manner in which departments are
run and the need for certain employees,
George II. Glyn OF WATERFOWL, who has
been named executive auditor by GOV
Whitman, has had a long talk with stan
ley J. Quinn, who was executive auditor
for Gov. Glynn. and was told he will have
sufficient power as auditor to make
any investigations required by the Gov
ernor for the purpose OF gaining informa-
ton regarding the various departments.
AT the same time the presence in Al
bany Of John kirkland Clark, former As
sistant District Attorney under Whitman
who resigned last spring to become coun-
sci of the Sullivan investigating commit
tee of the Assembly, led 10 the belief that
Mr.. Whitman is considering naming Mr.
Clark to conduct the inquiry. Mr.. CLARK
said that nothing regarding an inquiry had
been said to him yet.
Gov Whitman himself refused To make
any statements regarding his inquiry
further than what he said in his inaugural
address. Mr.. Travis refused to make any
announcement regarding the department
he proposes to have investigated. but Il
was said that the State Tax Commissioner
or the Department OF Agriculture would
be the first TO be put under the knife
Politicians are being kept on the anxious
seat by Gov. Whitman. They are unable
to fathom his attitude toward the regular
organization. and one OF the oldest Of them
said that what most OF the old guard came
to Albany for was to Sense the atmos-
phere' about the new Governor. In this
connection It Is being noted that he made
no appointments and ired no one to-day
When asked about appointments he re-
piled tersely:
mo appointments no designations"
The indication is that Gov. Whitman
| intends to walt until the organizat ion
men who have been elected to State
ofice-State Comptroller Travis, State
Engineer Frank Williams and Attorney
General Egburt Woodbury-have made
1 all their appointments. and then will

ALBANY. Jan. standing with his
back to the big desk in the main room
Of the Executive suite Gov Whitman
shook hands with about 5000 people
directly after his inauguration this
afternoon. The eXpernece, ne afterward

strenuous than any he had previously

did not show any effects of the strain.
The Governor was carefully guarded.
Detectives on both sides OF the lire OF
people VINO swept into the Executive
Chamber carefully scrutlnzed the Gov
ernors callers. Some OF the unmindful
who approached the Governor with one
hand in their pocket were "frisked" by
tine detectives before they came within
five feet Of tine Executive. Others were
told to remove their hands.
The first man to shake Gov. Whitman's
hand as ne stood before his desk was
retiring Governor Gynn. Alr. Glynn
walked toward GOV Whitman with out
stretched hand and as he advanced Gov
Whitman rapidly stepped toward him.
Their hands were clasped for fully a
minute while they exchanged greetings
AfterWard Mr. Glynn stood By watching
the oncomlng throng lie was manlfestly
pleased at the reception given TO his sue
cessor.
Every one in all the line that marched
into the Executive Chamber received a
hearty shake from the Governor. Even
smut faced boys carrying "shinnies' were
cordially welcomed. The Governor gem
erously bent down each time 10 clasp the
small and sometimes dirty hands IN his
strong grip.
Behind a flock OF women and children

responded to their warm conErP' tons.
Then came the members OF Ia Legis-
lature. and practically every Assemblyman

alike, shook the Governors hand. To
each ot these the Governor responded.
