Washington, Jan. Stay -at-homes
OF all fighting nations, the URlted
States included, may soon go about in
strange get-ups, 30 that tnelr armies
may be properly clothed. This has been
the experience Of the Teuton powers
and government data today reveals
world shortage of civilian clothing.
The situation has led the defense
council Is economy board to curtail shoe
and apparel styles and materials. Cut
ting 70 per cent Of wool and an equal
amount of leather from shoes now be-
ing made for next fall trade and elm
mating all feminine fripperies in duds
are only starters in what the board
will do.
Shoes and clothes are SO scarce in
Austria Hungary and Germany that the
government is seriously considering a
citizen s suggestion that civilian dead,
rich and poor, great or humble, be bur
led in gingham instead Of their Sun
day best" so that the needy living may
have their apparel.

proposed order for low heel shoes and

Of whose peacock alleys, when trod at
all, are trod by a very dowdy lot of

The Central Powers, government data
shows, have limited the amount of
clothing each man, woman and child
may possess, even stfpulating the num-
Der and quality of handkerchiefs, Much
of the clothing is made Of woven pa

Leather shoes are unknown outside
the army. 1t is next to impossible to
get any kind. Forbidden to use every
thing else, shoe manufacturers bought
up family table cloths and doilies and
lined wooden shoes with them. The
government stopped that, seizing the
table cloths for government use.
Shoe cards are issued to the populaee
but most Of the time are worthless as
the dealers have no shoes. When shoes
exist, they are made Of wood, paper or

Toxic, Dee. 4.-(By Mall Russia,
the wall which has hitherto protected
Japan and the rest of Asia from Ger
man influence, having collapsed, it is
feared here, Japan S attitude towards
the war has assumed an unprecedented
seriousness.
This feeling is reflected everywhere
in Japan--in press comment, statements
of military authorities, government con-
ferences and semi-official utterances,
For two weeks reports received here
from Vladivostok and Harbin have in
dieated that those districts have been
plunged into lawlessness, that Russian
authorities are losing, or have lost the
semblance of power. Riot reigns in Har-
bin. Two British subjects have been
mistreatcd, armed robbers have plum
dered Japanese warehouse and Rus,
sian soldiers have attacked the Mitsui
Bussan Kaisha, prominent japanese
company.
Unless something is done by the Rus
SLAMS to restore order, it is freely stat
ed here that measures must be taken
to protect the lives and property of
foreigners in Siberia, particularly in
the Harbin district. There are 25OU
japanese, 100 British and about 81
Americans there.

Message On Railroad Legis-
latiOn VIII Be Read to

MEMBERS ANXIOUS

There VIII Be Some Differ

tive VIII Dominate
By Lawrence Martin

Omitted Press staff correspondent,
Washington, Jan. 3.-Congress re-
turned to Washington today after the
holiday recess and promptly pulled on
to siding awaiting signals from Pres
ident Wilson.
Tomorrow the president will defiv-
er his railroad legislation message and
ask that it be given clear track un-
It'll disposed of. He will explain the
exigencies which led to governments
operation of the roads and detail the
need for prompt appropriations and en-
actment of protective laws that the
McAdoo directing regime may be un-
Ihindered in carrying out its gigantic
task.
Congress was full Of pep and pur-
pose when it arrived today. Tremend-
GUS problems of war work confront it.
Vast sums of money must be provided
But the railroad legislation loomed as
the most troublesome directly con-
fronting it. Scores of proposals are
waiting to be trotted out by the lcgis-
lators, once the president has mapped
out his program.
Two chief points of controversy will
be the three year average suggested
by the president as the basis for pay
ing the railroads and the question OF
getting back government money in
vested in new equipment. Aside from
the railroad legislation, congress comes
back without program. Thore is a
vague idea that many treIfsndous
things must be done but nobody knows
just what.
Suffragists doubled their activity
in an effort to get the Susan B, AM
thony amendment through the house
on January 10. There is no reason to
change earlier forecasts of the amend
ment s defeat

.SH|PDUILDING WAS
FINANCED BY BOARD
Private Concerns Could MOI
Secure Loans to Keep
Construction Going

Washington, Jan 3.-Inability on the
part of dozen shipbuilding companies
to get loans on government contracts
necessitated the emergency fleet cor
poration coming to their aid by ad-
vancing money in order to keep ship
construction moving.
Admiral Bow!es, construction chief,
who so testified at the senate ship in
quiry said that several of these con-
Germs were old established ones who
for various reasons had found them
selves without the necessary capital
to proceed.
al don It know why the banks will
not advance money on government con-
tracts, but they won IT," he said
Strikes on the Pacific coast which
stopped work, allowed deliveries Of ma
terial to pile up, was one of the main
causes of the situation, he said.
The Sloan Shipbuilding corporation
of Olympia, Washington, which he
said, the government had to take over
after it investigated disquieting"
rumors that it had received payment
of $1,724,6O0 on its contract for 16
ships May Is, 1917, which are now
only three percent completed.
The contract was made by General
Goethals, Bowels said, the money was
advanced by the government in June
and July and represented II payments
in accordance with the contract.
The government audit of the com
pany's books made in August, Bowels
goid SboEuad 4bot Of Ahie amount oulU
$530,000 had been expended directly on
ship work. Over $500,000 had gone to
the Clinchfield Aviation company, New
York, and for private purposes of the
Sloan company and the remainder had
gone into subsidiary companies of the
Sloan corporation, he said

MISUNDERSTANDING
TO SUGGESTIONS OF
HOUSE COMMISSION
Men Are Being Hurried to
Front After Shorter Period
Of Training

Washington, Jan. 3.-America is al
ready responding to the plans and
recommendations of the house mission.
The navy has started "the more ac-
tive utilization" of our ships which
the mission arranged and is constantly
giving "fuller cooperation" in the
war against the submarine and in pro-
tecting vessels. The army is undergo
ing overhauling which will make it
more responsive to the urgent House
appeal for speed.
The navy's share in the program is
cloaked in secrecy because its portion
involves naval movements, publication
of which the voluntary censorship for
bids AS for the army, the recent crea-
tion of war council to coordinate the
various major branches Of the services,
plus the announced reorganization of
the ordinance department with Amer
lean businessmen included in it, con-
stitute the outward steps toward more
speed, unity and cooperation.
Vital legislation is being prepared
by the war council and should be sub
mitted to congress within few days.
The matter of speed has at last come
home. Red tape is being eliminated
and every effort is being made by the
shipping board, army and navy to full
fill the requirements of the House
recommendations.
Secretary of War Baker and other
officials foreseo possible temporary
German successes on the west front,
but apparently they propose to cut
down the American training periods
and send men faster than the original
schedule, which looked to at least four
or five months training on this side.
The navy's share in the new program
will help in accomplishing destruction
of more German U-boats than ever be-
fore. While last week 3 tonnage
destroyed was large, as predicted in
yesterdays United Press London dis
patches, it was regarded here as one
of the crests' of ups and downs in u
boat warfare. The December average
was gratifying; more and more u
boats are constantly being bagged.

JAPAN MAY ENTER BIG
WAR FOR PROTECTION
OF INTERESTS IN EAST

"Should Lenine establish his control
ever Russia said Lieutenant General
ogino, former Japanese military at.
tache in Pctrograd, Germany might
invade Russia further and advance to-
wards the far east. The entente cannot
send troops to Asia, America would
find it difficult, Chinese soldiers can
hardly be trusted as orderly protectors
1t is absolutely necessary, therefore
that Japanese troops be modified. :"
Lieutenant General Horiuchi who
was at Esing Tao, holds a similar view
He points out, however, that despatch
of Japanese troops to Siberia would be
fruitless unless the whole japanese ma
tion is alive to the gravity of the oc'
casion.
The Yorodza, newspaper which has
consistently urged increased Japanese
participation in the war, asks: May
not Germany drive towards Vladivostok
by means of the Trans-Siberian rail
wayq May not German aeroplanes and
German submarines strike at japan
across the sea of JapunF"
Other journals do not take so alarm
ing a view, but declare Japan must re
main on the alert, prepared to act al
any moment for protection of allied anc
her own interests.
