 SHORTAGE OF SUPPLIES
 Prior to the appearance of Secre- tary Baker before the Committee there had been a mass of testimony to show that there had been delay in se- curing arms and clothing for the army. So overwhelming was the testimony as to the shortage of clothing and blankets that the Senate Committee adopted a resolution asking the Sec retary of War to go into the open market and purchase these articles. The Committee found that the shortage amounted to 10000 overcoats and 47,- 900 blouses at Camps Wheeler, Shelby, Kearney, Dix, Jackson, Grant, Custer. Beaurgard and the camp at Fort Worth, Texas. The Committee had no information as to the other camps. Major General Sharpe, Quartermaster Central of the army, testified that the delays were due to department red tape.
 He said his department by an order of the Secretary of War had merely approved of awards, the contracts were let by the Supplies Committee of the Council of National Defense of which Charles Eisenman of Cleveland is the dominant figure. General Sharpe said he recommended that only 100, 900 of the National Army be called in September as his department could not furnish clothing and equipment for more. His recommendation was not followed and 6O0,O0O were called. General Sharpe was of the opinion that if the department dealt directly and not through the Supplies Committee the Government would have secured

THREE IMPORTANT INVESTIGA- TONS OF WAR ACTIVITIES ARE BEING MADE BY SENATE CON-
 COMMITTEES

The Military Affairs Committee is examining into the conduct of the army and has developed mass of testimony to show that inadequate pro. vision was made for the proper care of the men who have been sent to the contqnments; that a great number of deaths and large amount of sickness are due to the lack of proper clothing, that while the men sent to France have been equipped, there is a great short age of all kinds in the camps in this country. Besides, the letting of army contracts has disclosed, profiteering by members of the Supplies Committee of the Council of National Defense which committee lets th9 contract.
 The Commerce Committe investigat- ing the Shipping Board has developed that in all probability the expectations with respects to shipbuilding will not be realized because it is not possible to get the men to put it through. There has also been evidences of profiteering.
 A subcommittee of the Committee on Manufacturers inquiring into the cause of the sugar and coal shortage has developed that the American sugar Refining Company has fs%ctieal con trol of MT HooVer's sugar committee and that it has so manipulated the market as to give. that company a great advantage.
 It developed also while great care has been taken to protect the rcfiner's profits nothing effective has been done to stimulate beet sugar production.
 The testimony taken by these com mittees when completed will fill several large volumes aud will be of real value in arriving at just estimate of the purposes and the efficiency of the men who have been active in directing these new enterprises of the government
