said he didn't know whether con-
tracts specified the manufacture

This delay, camp commanders
have testified, resulted In the
deaths of scores of troops, who
suffered from lack of proper
clothing and blankets.
Sharpe said it took him from
April to August even to arrange
for wool purchases. No consider
able quantity of wool was bought
until September. Here IL Sharpe's
record of the transactions;
How They Worked.
April 3, received a letter from
the Boston Wool Trading associ-
alton, offering all wool controll-
ed by 1t at prevailing prices.
(Sharpe made no effort to learn
how much wool was involved.
He referred the matter to Sec
rotary Baker, who, in turn, re-
ferred 1t to the munitions board.
June 6, Sharpe asked If funds
were available for wool purchase.
and the same month got authority
to 60 ahead.
July Is, he discussed with the
National Defense council the adj
visibility of purchasing WOO
from the Boston concern.
Aug. 1, he established a wool
buying office in Boston and
bought some wool.
Sept. he began buying In
quantities.
Costs U. 8. $f5O,OOO,OOO.

THE PACIFIST

He's really very fond Of war
Provided 1t be civil.
The pacifist is keen to fight;
To say he's not is idle.
He cannot get enough of strife
II II be fratricidal.
His right hand carries gentle peaeo
For foreign folks who vex M.
But with his left he loves to jab
His brothers solar plexus.
For liberty of every kind
A passion he discloses,
And dearly hates all tyranny
Save that which HE imposes.
He loves to ash his fellow-cit,
Aud purge his soul Of error,
He constitutes the rank aud file

Buy your Christmas candy now. If you
don't you probably will not get it, as Uncle
Sam decreed yesterday that the refiners
are not to sell any more sugars to con-
fectioners. and this will mean that as soon
as the latter have used up the amount of
sugar they have on hand the factories will
shut down. The order came from Food
Commissioner Rolph at Washington, and
referred not only to confectoners. but
also to manufacturers Of chewing gums.
syrups and cordials as well as manufac-
turers of all similar products.
The edct went forth the latter part of
last week that refners were to limit their
distribution to producers Of all luxurles,
but the new ruling means an entire elirTh-
nation Of sugar for all such products. This
means that many Of the manufacturers
will have to shut down until the new crop
sugars are available. which include the
arrival OF beet sugars IN this territory in
five or six weeks, and outside of the Lou

per pound until the critical period in the
sugar industry is passed. These steps We're
decided on yesterday at q meeting of the
refiners, wholesalers and retailers at No.
Ill Wall street, the headquarters OF the
national sugar refining committee.
DR.. Henry MoSkowitz, city market conf
missioner. presided at the conference and
appointed a committee represe ntative of
the trade to draw up definite agreement
on a basis Of pro rata distribution. 1t was
agreed that the refiners sell on the S.3o
cents basis, that the wholesalers price
that the small retailer could charge up to
IL cents per pound and the larger dealer
could limit his sales to 10 cents
1t was also agreed that the retailers
should not sell more than two to five
pounds at any one time to their regular
trade, this quantity to last their trade
from ten days to two weeks, according
to the size Of the family. The reflners are
also to continue their efforts to secure
some Of the beet sugar and the Louisiana
sugar that will soon be available for the
