for the Administration
fStaf Corrcspondence1

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-Secrctarv
Baker will appear before tho House
Military Affairs Committee Saturday
morning and make a general statement
in behalf Of the War Department hc
said to-day in refusing t. .dnswer the
charges of inef'iciency in the depart
mcnt made by Senator Chamberlain in
his Senate speech

answer through the press a speech q
Senator made on the floor of the Sen
s.e," Secretary Baker said. 81 am to
appear before the House Military AZ
fairs Committee Saturday morning and
will make 4 general statement then.
The War Department is unable to dis
cuss in detail many of the things in
which it is engaged. and in my state
ment before the Senate Military Affairs
Committee is included everything it
seemed wise to make public at that
time. My statement before the House
committe, will be complete"
Asked if corrective measures had
been taken to remedy conditions COM
planned of at cantonments in equip
ment. additional space for the men and
skilled hospital help, Secretary Baker
replied in the affirmative. lie dis
agreed with Senator Chamberlain's
statement that cantonmenr sites had
been selected without approval Of Sur
seon General Gorgas. asserting that
department commanders had selected
boards to pass on the sites. and that
on each board member of the Medical
Corps had been included.
Secretary Baker declared that addi-
tional floor space had been provided all
cantonments. as recommended by Cen
eral Gorgas. and he asserted that re-
ports just received indicated that
clothing was now ample at all camps.
He said the complaint about lack Of
skilled help in camp hospitals was
justified. but that skilled help was
most difficult to get and efforts were
being made to train hospital attendants
as rapidly as possible.
There was no comment at the White
House on the Chamberlain speech It
is known. however, that Admnstra-
ton replies are to be made soon by

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Hoarding
of hides by meat packers, while shoe
prices have been climbing upward, and
excessive profits to the packers, who
practically control the hide market, arc
charged in a report by the Federal
Trade Commission submitted to-day to
Congress.
The commission points out that
Strengthening of cattle and calves in the
United States increased during the last
five years by 100000 head, or vrtu-
ally 80 per cent.
"Such record of food animals ought
not at the same time to mean that the
country should be forced to pay alb
normally high prices for leather prod
ucts made from the correspondingly in
creased take off OF hides" the report
declares.
No Shortage in Cattle Shown
Estimates of the international lnst
tutc of Agriculture up to 1916 do not
indicate any shortage in the world to-
tai OF cattle. the report said.
The commission reported that the
quantity Of hides stored by the "big
five" Chicago packers Swift,
Morris, Cudahy and Wilson--lncreased
as per cent during 1916 and the first
half of 1917 These five concerns were
declared to be the "chiefT factors" in
the hide market. While they had on
hand January 81, 1916, a total of 49,
633 1913 pounds Of hides, the amount had
increased to 127 ,694, 1863 pounds July
81, 1917.
Stocks held by the smaller packers
showed an even more striking increase,
amounting to SO per cent in the same
period, although the total was only
2O,O86,1O2 pounds July 81, 1917. The
grand total held by PTS interstate pack
ers, including the "bg five" increased
from 9S,980,726 pounds to l47,780,271
pounds, or practically one-half
Imports Also Increase
Imports of hides also were found by
the commission to have increased III
1917 70 per cent more than in 1912.
The commission reported that the
values which the packers have placed
on their hides are much greater than
the increase in the price they have paid
for cattle. While the farmers received
only II per cent more for their cattle
from Swift's five principal plants in
19l6-17, the value Swift 4 Go. put on
their hides from the same cattle, ac-
cording to the report, increased 35 per
cent.
"Phenomenal increases" in the leath-
cr profits Of Armour and Swift were re-
ported by the commission. Net profits
of the larger tanning companies in 1915
were said to be from two to five times
as large as in 1919. One unnamed COM
pany, said to have made $644,390 in
1914, cleared $3,576,544 in 1916.
Tanners Are Inactive
Although stocks of hides we're found
by the commission to be abnormally
large, many tanning companies report
ed they were operating at far from
capacity.
at has been suggested that the prices
Of hides arc so high" the report de-
clares. that tanners have been keeping
out OF the market in the hope that
prices would dcclirc'
Exports Of mems shoes were found
by the commission to have dropped
from the high level of 100000 pair in
1916 to slightly over 100000 in 1917.
apparently the large demand Of our
own army has been Offset partly by
lcssencd EXPORTS" the report concludes.
