They sang at once as Fairy Ybab
appeared on a messy mound and
waved her little moss-covered stick,
which she used for keeping time.
All the fairies who were in the Or
chestra played the different instru-
ments, but the woodpeckers beat the
drums, for they like such work.
The fairies in the orchestra and
Ybab wore bright golden robes and
crowns of gold. Such songs as the
birds sang and how the fairies played
soon there came the sound of
trumpet and then another sound of
the trumpet. Everybody listened and
looked, and In moment from out of
the woods came old Mr.. Giant dressed
as the spring.
His suit was made of new green
grass, his tall hat, which made him
look more enormous than ever was of
green moss, and growing out of the
moss were violets and many other
wild spring flowers, while growing
out OF the grass were tulips and even
little dandelions!
Behind him cane Witty Witch, and
what do you suppose she wore? She
was made TO look like the sun, and
she was supposed to be the summer
following the spring.
How they all enjoyed this surprise,
and how Mr.. Sun beamed and smiled
when he saw Witty Witch. And as
at last he had to go to bed he said !:
IT'S been fine to be a guest at a con-
cert-surprise party like this"
And they all thanked him, and
agreed that it had been a huge sue
cess.

Cloth Shortage on Wool
Shortage Scare"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Respon-
sibility for shortages of army
clothing was placed upon the sup
plies committee of the council of
national defense today by Col. Elmer
Lindsley, quartermaster' agent at
Philadelphia, testifying at the SEN
ate committees war inquiry An
other witness, William Bianchi,
New York dealer who has pur-
chased cloth for foreign armies,
charged that an unnecessary wool
shortage scare" was created TO in
crease the use of wool shoddy, or
dered for army garments by the
supplies committee.
Col. Lindsey contradicted the re-
cent testimony of Vice Chairman
Eisenman of the supplies commit
tee, that the committee had secured
an abundance of cloth for army
needs. He said there now is a short
age Of 1,0OO,O 600 yards OF cloth and
that the supplies committee system
was responsible for both delays and
friction

mer over prices had caused a loss
TO the government Of 900 600 yards
of cloth. many looms being idle for
two or three months. Strikes of
garment makers also have caused
some delay, he said.
Bianchi said the wool shortage

interest of manufacturers of shoddy
garments. Many American cloth

have factories equipped TO make all
wool garments and therefore could
not have shared in the war con-
tracts if shoddy had not been ap-
proved for army clothing Euro
pean armies, he asserted. are better
clothed than American soldiers and
he severely criticizes the use Of
shoddy. declaring it wholly unnec-
essary.
Chairman Chamberlain announced
that discrepancies in the testimony

sibiHty for the clothing shortage are
to be cleared up by reports Of cloth

for the committee. Each has placed
the responsibility on the other.

Up To People.
Associated Press Service :

Associated Press Service:
Great Britain's war aims were set
forth yesterday by Premier Lloyd
George in the broadest and at the
same time most specific manner in
which they have yet been stated.
IN one of the most striking and
comprehensive utterances of the
war, the premier made clear what
the British nation and empire
would regard as a just and durable
peace. This. he declared. must be
achieved by the reestablishment Of
the sanctity Of treaties, territorial
adjustments on the basis of self
government and the limitation Of
ornaments guaranteed by an inter
national organization.
Great Britain was not lighting.
said the premier, 70 disrupt Ger
many, destroy Austria Hungary or
take Turkeys capital or her home
lands from her The desire instead.
he insisted. was 10 turn Germany
from her schemes of military dom
ination to benefcent tasks in the
world and TO settle the territorial
questions Of the war in way that
would do justice TO the various ma
tionalities affected.
Rejects Latest Peace Terms.
In effect it is a reply to and re-
lection Of the peace terms Of the
central powers as voiced by their
spokesman recently at Brest-Li-
tovsk. the premier's speech was for
the most part an affirmative utter
ance. In great detail he went into
the many problems calling for solu-
ton OF the peace he had i'm mind
was to be forthcoming.
An interesting development Of the
day was the complication at Brest-
Litovsk, where the peace negotia-
tors of the central powers arrived
for a resumption OF the conferences
with the Russians only TO find the
Russian Representatives not there.
Instead a message was awaiting
them proposing the transfer of the
negotiations to Stockholm. IL ap-
peared later, however, according TO
German advices, that the Russian
delegates. on learning that the Ger
mans had returned TO Brest-Li-
tovsk, were starting from Petrograd
for the former place. accompanied
by Leon Trotzky. the bolsheviki for
eign minister.
