new Jewish battalion.
As at present constituted. about so
per cent of the Jewish battalion are
British-born or naturalized. The re-
mainder includes the members of the
old Zion mule corps, a large number
Of Russian Jews, and a curious me-

States While Back on Business Trip
That He Win Retain Office
e. O. Deitz to Serve.
PLACE IN ARMY Is UNCERTAIN
Announces He VIII Make No Change
Here Until Situation Clears
Leaves for Camp Monday.

Contrary to the somewhat general
belief that Judge B. S. Bell, who is
now a lieutenant in the army and
stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison,
Ind. would resign as judge of the
probate clerk here, he stated today
that would retain his Office and that
G. 0. Deitz would serve during his
absence.
Judge Bell, who is back in the city
until Monday attending to certain i'm
portant matters pending in the pro-
bate court, said that his place III the
army was at present a decidedly un-
certain one and that until the situa
ton cleared he had no intention OF
making any change in his connec-
ton here. He explained that while
he was stationed with the regular
army at Fort Benjamin Harrison hi:
status was in no way permanent as
he had been assigned to the camp
only temporarily, and may be changed
any time.
Not Going to France.
Rumors to the effect that inasmuct
as Judge Bell is stationed with tbs
regulars he probably would be OF
his way to France in the near fu-
ture were repudiated by the judge
himself in his explanation of the un'
certainty of his present assignment
He stated, however, that Monday he
would return to Fort Benjamin Har
rison and that he could not tell how
soon he would be back in Rocl
Island.

POOR FOOD IN VIENNA.

Zurich. Switzerland.-Vienna news

and insufficient food there is said to
be a large increase in skin diseases
manifested in boils, assesses and
eczema.
The working capacity of the labor

the health Of the children is seriously

General Sharpe Claims Boston Offer
To Sell ut Prevailing Price Never
Reached Him.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Clothing Of
Americas fighting men was further
investigated today by thesenate milf
tary committee with Quartermaster
General Sharpe under examination.
Senator Weeks brought out that on
April Boston wool dealers offered
all their wool to the government at
prevailing prices, but the offer never
reached General Sharpe, being re-
sferred to the general munitions board.
When orders were given to prepare
to clothe / 100000 more men, General
Sharpe said soaring prices, rather than
shortage, was the worst factor in
the situation.
II was told by responsible man
that the failure of the government to
accept the Boston wool mems offer Of
April has cost the government $780,
000,000," said Senator Weeks, and I
want to find out who is responsible for
delay in its acceptance, and also who
is responsible for delay in beginning
purchases. I, for one, am somewhat
dismayed by the length OF time it takes
in the war department to do things.
/ Apparently injection Of the council Of
the council of national defense makes
for further delay"
Senator Wadsworth said that on
June the treasury authorized the
war department to buy wool, but that
no considerable amount was bought
until September.
I General Sharpe insisted that there
was no unnecessary delay and that
the council had to thoroughly study
I the new subject and organize, neces-
stating great care and consideration.
General Sharpe said that if the Bos-
ton wool dealers offer of April 8 had
been accepted promptly it would
have been very advantageous, as wool
advanced after that" He reiterated
