NEED RUBBERS AT CUSTER
Thousands of Soldiers From Wisconsin
and Michigan Suffering From
Wet Feet-Many Shoes Are
Distributed to Men.

Camp Custer, Battle Greek, Mich,
Dec. 26.-Though Michigan has S.
100000 war fund to relieve critical sit
uat1ons that cannot wait for red tape
to be unwound, and Camp Custer is
asking for $4,000 pairs Of rubbers and
overshoes to keep the Michigan Wis
consin soldiers from getting wet feet,
there has as yet been no response to
the rs. 0. S." call of the soldiers. A
dispatch from Lansing suggests that
receives a personal or written request
from Maj. Gen. James Parker, the
commandment; yet General Parker,
serving the National government, can
not make formal request for aid. So
the soldiers are still suffering from
wet feet.
Tuesday thousands of pairs of shoes
were distributed. They went to men
who had been unable to secure govern
ment shoes before, because of the lack
Of equipment for large men.
The men were delighted to get shoes,
but the rubbers are still needed, for
the camp Is sea Of mud. Many CIV
ilians who tried to wade through Gus
ter circle to help dedicate the Red
Gross Christmas tree, gave up in
despair and returned to the city. The
tree was given its first illumination
with few civilians on hand to cheer.
A couple of thousand soldiers stood In
the mud and sang Christmas hymns,
while the bands, massed for the occa-
sion, rendered the accomplishments
and also gave separate numbers. There
was no attempt att speech-making. The
men had turkey dinner on Christmas.

HOOVER CUT PROFITS
White House Makes Public
Statement Offered Senators.
Says Fixing Price Of Sugar Saved Peo-
pie 5000, 900, 0oo-shIpments to
Europe Caused Shortage.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Food Admin
istrator Hoover's statement on the
sugar situation, which he tried unsuc-
cessfully to get before the senate COM
mittee investigating the sugar short
age, was made public by the White
House.
1t attributes the shortage here to the
heavy movement of sugar from the
western hemisphere to Europe and as
serts that without the fixing Of prices
by agreement sugar would be selling
for Is or 80 cents a pound and more
than S200000,000 probably would have
been profteered from the American
people by this time.
The statement contains the food adj
ministrator's reply to charges made be-
fore the committee by Claus A.
Spreckels, president Of the Federal Re-
fning company, that the sugar situa-
ton was mismanaged, and sets forth in
detail the administrations efforts to
keep sugar prices down, while supply
ing large quantities to the allies.
The committee, of which Senator
Reed is chairman, not only had re-
fused to make the statement a part Of
the Congressional Record, but has de-
clined thus far to permit Mr.. Hoover
to take the stand to answer Mr..
Spreckels' charges. When the hearing
Is resumed Friday, however, it is I'M
derstood Mr.. Hoover will be permitted
to tell his story.
ct the outset the statement presents
the world sugar situation as it existed
prior to the European war. The al
lies then produced much Of their own
supplies and purchased the remainder
from Germany.
Before the war they took only 30O,-
600 tons annually from the western
hemisphere. This year they have taken
], 100000 tons.
THAT" says the food administrator,
'1s the cause Of the sugar shortage !;
and nothing else"

The state forestry department also is
cooperating, showing where wood may
be obtained and issuing instructions
for the converting OF coal-burning
stoves to woodworking ones with lit

Petrograd, Dec. 26.-Raymond Rob
ms was handed a special order by
Foreign Minister Leon Trotzky clear
ing the road for 30 cars of Red Cross
supplies to Jassy. The train had been

was free from suspicion and it was
allowed to proceed, The train was
seized in dramatic manner by the
red guards. Robins went to Smolny
institute and asked for an investiga-
ton. He assured the authorities the
train only carried Red Cross supplies.

Chicago May BE Munitlon Center.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-A government

shop in Chicago to do machine work
on shells. The subject was discussed
at a conference Of Association Of Com
merce executives, including John w.
O'Leary, Lucius Teter, James B. For
gan, George NJ. Reynolds, and others.
"The government wishes to centralize
munition-making as much as possible"
said Mr.. O'Leary after the meeting.
objection is made to making q part
and then shipping 1t elsewhere for
completion, when all the work could be
done at one place at less cost. Chi
cago already Is the center of quite q
munition industry, but the government
wishes us to go more deeply into the
matter. Not that Chicago will equal
Bethlehem for instance, but there Is
no doubt that before the war is over,
there viii be whole lot Of munitions
made here. Nothing definite was done
at the conference, but plans were
made, and we will be ready to make
an announcement in few days." ''The
conference was called by Mr.. OTeary
to talk over the idea Of making Chi
cago a bigger munition CENTER" said
Mr.. Teter. Already quite a lot of
munftion-maklng Is going on here. In
Guiding that Of the United States Steel
corporations plant, but the govern
ment feels the work should be central
lied and recommends that we build
factory or two 80 that shipping NUM-
tons to other points for finishing
touches can be avoided. For instance,
there is no factory in Chicago capable
of handling machine work on shells
in large quantities. The work has to
be done elsewhere. causing loss Of time
