Are Ordered.

from which the men of a camp came what
the average size of their feet will be.
Careful examination of men at four rep
resentative camps, one a navy post, one
a border command of regulars, one a Ma
tional Guard and one a National Army
division, showed clearly these conditions
as to misf1t shoes, the figures following
closely those for Camp Devens, already
given.
Under the old Regular Army condi-
tions. sizes 7E. TIE and Sc were most
in demand. Sizes 90 now is the one to be
supplied in the largest numbers.

The American Army. both at home
and in France. is rapidly developing
liberty feet" with which to march to
victory. Under the hard work of mill
tary training soldiers feet are ex-
panding in length and width and
some part of Gen. Pershing's forces
will do their work in Nos. IS and IA
shoes. instead of the old maximum
No. Il of the regular. At his recon-
mendation these two new big sizes
have been added to the Quartermas-
ter's stock.
A review OF. the Army shoe situa-
ton, issued today by the War Depart
ment, shows that of $3.50 men ex-
amined by medical officers only Is per
cent were found to be correctly fitted
with marching shoes. The following
reasons for misfits are assigned:
Choose Shoes Too Small.
'Inclination of men to choose shoes
too small; faults in methods of super
vision of fitting; insufficient numbers
of larger and narrower sizes; incor-
rect marking of sizes by manufac-
turers."
OF groups of men at Camp Devens
Mass, examined. 2S per cent had shoes
a half size too short. Is per cent size
too short, 10 per cent Il size and hall
too short and per cent two sizes too
short. AS a result the old Regular Army
practice of allowing men to select their
own shoes has been abandoned and now
a system of slipping metal gauges into the
toes of shoes has been adopted. When a
man can walk comfortably with the gauge
in place. it is removed and he is certain
to have big enough shoes to give him
marching efficiency.
