SEND FORTY THOUSAND TONS
Agent of War Trade Board will See

SEND FORTY THOUSAND TONS

Washington, Dec. 22.-Permission
Tor the shipment of about forty
thousand tons of corn and oats to
FINLAND by way of Sweden has been
granted by the food administration
and the war trade board upon evil
dence that thousands of the Finnish
people are starving. An agent of the
war trade board will be sent into
Finland from Sweden to investigate
conditions make certain that Ger
many will not benefit by the Amer
lean shipments.
A July frost killed Finland's crops
last summer, and the situation in
Russia has made it impossible for
them to import food from that coun-
try, on which they ordinarily depend
ed for half their supply. Twelve
million dollars had been paid for
food in Russia, which never was de-
livered, because starving Russians
looted the trains before they could
reach the Finnish border.
In addition to their farming, by
supporting Russia in the war the peo-
pie had been stripped of raw mate
rails for manufacture. their indus
tries had been disorganized to turn
out munitions and their finance i'm
poverished by the payment Of mil
lions a year to the. Russian govern
ment and the receipt OF worthless
paper rublss for their goods.

Found Too Big.

Men In Camps Are Well Supplied
With Food, General Sharpe
Says-Sharpe Grilled for
Clothing Shortage.

Washington, Dec. 22.-American
troops in the trenches IA France are
forced to eat cold food because
someone overlooked the fact that the
present fireless cookers used in the
army are too large to be carried thru
a narrow trench. This was brought
ont today at the senate military af-
fairs committees investigation by
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, who
charged delay in a new device TO
furnish hot food in the trenches.
General Sharpe detailed plans
made in advance of the draft for
feeding the national army. He said
the men upon arrival at camp were
as we'll provided for as those OF the
regular army and national guard.
Reverting to clothing manufactur-
ing. Senator Chamberlain said uni
form manufacturers had complain
ed that cloth was not furnished
promptly by the department. Cen

Slonment of Camp Funston, Kan, be-
cause 1t is infected with spinal men
nights germs, as shown by the re-

uation disclosed by Surgeon General
Gorgas' report was characterized by
MIN as appalling" and one that de-
manded a change.
"The report of Surgeon General
Gorgas with reference to camps
brings to light a condition that h
appalling" said Reavis. "The report
states that the cantonment at Camp
Funston, Kan, is located in the river
bottom and has been known to all
health officers as a center for spinal
meningitis for years.
For the past few months, accord
ing to this report, there have been
eighty-four deaths in this camp, OF
which twenty-four were from menin-
gifts. There were fifty-four deaths
from pneumonia, while the average
death rate of the command should

Hood Is thicker than water, but 1t is thinner than politics. This bit of philosophy comes to mind after re etd. ing a letter addressed to the Sacra- mcnto Union by Grove l.. Johnson. father of Gov. Hiram L. Johnson.
 Johnson the elder does no: hesitate tc say that Hughes was betrayed in California. He adduces instances where the managers of the republican campaign in that state neglected the national ticket in order to pull the lctal ticket through. In this, of course. he Is in direct conflict with the opinions held by his distinguished SOD and with the units who make up his sons political organization.
