fits. OF :he remainder. 22.7 per cent
Of the shoes were one-half size too
short, AIS Ler cent were one size too
short and ll.6 per cent were more than
one size TOO short. These figures are
sdbstantated in a report written by
Captain Arthur s. Jones, ard reviewed
by Major William VI. Reno. Of the
regular army. which appeared in "The
Military Surgeon" for August. 1917.
Similar Investigations conducted at
cantonments show like results.
At the Council of National Defence
il was stated to-day that no change in
the existing shoe specifications of the
quartermsster generals department
was in contemplation. That the War
Department, however, recognizes the
seriousness of the complaint is evi-
denced by the fact that a special corps
of Investigators is at work trying TO
develop plan for improved shoe fit
ting among the soldiers. The trouble
is not with shoe sizes, il was stated, as
much as it is with improper fits due to
the lack of expert advice in fitting
This explanation, however, is chal-
lenged by the complaint Of the shoe
expert to the Council of National De-
fence, who alleges that shortage OF
certain sizes is responsible for the larg-
est percentage of insists.
1t is expected that the question OF
army footwear will be included in the
investigation of the qusrtermaster gen
erals department by the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee. Members Of the
committee declined to admit such an
intention to-day, though it is known
that copies of the attack on the shoe
specifications of the quartermaster
generals department have been made
available for the committee.

[StGf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-"If the
United States has 100000 soldiers in
France next year 100000 of this
number will be wearing shoes that are
from one-aalf to three and half sizes
too short
This charge has been laid before
the supply division of the Council Of
National Defence by leading shoe
manufacturer who has made an eX-
tcnSive study of the situation in the
several camps and environments. An
tiquated shoe specifications of the
qusrtermaster generals department
arc blamed for the condition. 1t is un-
dorstcod that the surgeon generals
Office concurs in the representations
made to the Council of National De
fierce.
Hitting shoes, il is stated, not only
seriously impair the efficiency OF the
soldier ut reduce the serviceableness
Of the shoe from a third TO half.
When il is taken into consideration
that the quartermaster generals de-
partment has purchased over twenty
million pairs of army shoes, at an
average price in excess OF $3.50. the
importance OF this latter phase of the
attack on srmy shoe specifications
becomes Obvious.
The complaint to the Council of Ma
tionsl Defence reviews the fact that
examination of soldiers footwear at
FL Paso during the mobilization on the
border disclosed that only l7:S per
cent Of che shoes were satisfactory
