SEES NO DANGER HERE
FROM SHOE SHORTAGE

The United States army or navy will
not be affected by the shoe famine which
now prevails in European countries due
to the fact that the requirements of the
allied armies are so great" said an OFF,
cial OF one of the large rubber companies
of Akron yesterday.
This statement was brought forth by
the publication OF an announcement from
Rome, made by John f. Stucks, vice
president of the American Chamber of
Commerce and general manager of the
American Shoe Machinery Company, in
Italy. when he said. "A barefooted Eu-
rope is not improbable IL the war con-
tinues. At the present time a pair of
heavy mountain shoes will last a soldier
about six weeks and the soleS and heels
of these shoes are even studded with hob
nails to secure this service"
One of the officials of the B. F. Good
rich Company. in commenting further
upon this article. said, IF this govern
ment should adopt rubber footwear for
its army and navy, thereby securing not
only an unlimited supply as compared
with the leather shoe, longer service and
greater comfort to the men would be as
sured at no greater cost than leather
equipment"
Continuing, he said: There are few
American people who have come to real
iEe the immense production possibilities
OF the modern rubber boot and shoe fac
tories In this one Goodrich plant alone
we manufacture upwards of 10000 pairs
army corps every working day.

HERTLNG REFUSES
TO Be CHANCELLOR
Fears He Cannot Command Major
ity in Reichstag. Says Rumor.

Amsterdam. Oct. 31.-Count George
Won Hertling. according to uncon-
firmed dispatches from Berlin tonight
has refused to accept the imperial
German chancellorship. stating as his
reason that he could not command a
majority in the Reichstag.
Another version given in earlier
Berlin advices is that the count
stipulated as a condition for his ac-
ceptance that DR.. Michaelis, the re-
firing chancellor, be eliminated as a
candidate for any high office. Still
another report Is that Count Won
Hertling has asked for time to con-
fer with the political party leaders.
From these conflicting versions il
seems clear that the whole matter
is still hanging fire. The most
plausible explanation for the counts
reported declination is that upon find
ing the Socialists unequivocally OPP
posed to him he refused to take the
responsibility of causing new strife
In the Reichstag.
