He conferred with Secretary Baker

Actual leaders of Allied armies,
war ministries and division command

that the Americans will be the equal
of any soldiers on the western front
when they come to grips with the Ger

Washington, Dec. 21.-Quartermas-
ter General Sharp today told the
Senate investigating committee that
the War Department authorized pur-
chases Of supplies for million troops
before the United States entered the
war, without waiting for appropria-
tions.
George Rolph emphatically denied
the charge made by Chairman Reed
of the sugar Investigating committee
that Food Administration sugar regu-
lations gave refiners the chance to
combine and fix purchasing and re-
filming prices.
The Senate committe investigating
the Shipping Board developed the fact
that the Denman- Goethals row cost
the government dozen ships, which
foreign governments obtained previ-
Gus to the communicating order. A
few were lost while the new board
was organizing. Chairman Hurley
said the navy's utilization of ship
building facilities slowed progress on
merchant construction. He said that
henceforth he would be blamable if
ships were not built, because he is en-
tirely responsible for the building pro-
gram.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Efforts of
Mexican and German diplomats in
Buenos Aires to keep Argentina in the
neutral column will probably fail
within the next fe wdays, it is an
nounced from the State Department.
Latin-American diplomats today be-
lieved that Argentina will almost GER
tainly declare war on Germany as the
result Of the simultaneous publication
here and in Argentina of series of
intriguing kilograms which the noto-
rious Count Luxburg exchanged with
the Berlin foreign office.
A Luxburg telegram, dated August
1, informed Berlin that President Iri-
goyen had at last decided to negoti-
ate secret agreement with Chile and
Bolivia for protection against North
America.
Another intimated that an attempt
would be made to include Peru and a
plan would be perfected "before the
conference idea was taken up again"
Publication of these messages was
accompanied by statement from For
eign Minister Puerreydon that the
inaccuracies" of Luxburg's reports
were so surprising that there was no
epithet to fit them.
