Railway Ruler Implies That Statement of Food Man
 Is Not Sustained and Mr. Hoover is Treasured"
IRepubIican A. p, Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Director General McAdoo today gave assurance that so far as transportation is con- cerned there is no danger of suffering from a serious food shortage in the eastern part of the country.
 This was prompted by the warning given last night by Food Adminnis- trator Hoover that unless the grain and meat movement is greatly in- creased in the next SO days, the coun- try is threatened with an acute shortage of food, and the program of food shipments to the allies will fail. In a letter, to Mir. Hoover the di- rector general declared that if the food administrator will give definite information on the location of stocks of supplies intended for the allies, the railroads will move them promptly to seaboard. Simultaneously the railroad administration gave out figures show ing that the movement of grain to primary markets in the west within the last ten days was far greater than in previous years.
 Although declaring their desire to avoid a controversy with the food administration, officials of the rail- road directorate today did not conceal their belief that MT. Hoover's state ment was not borne out by facts shown in their reports. Members of Mir. McAdoo's staff assumed the at titude that MT. Hoover had dealt in generalities, not supported by figures or other evidence showing such a pes simistic outlook on future food con- ditions.
 Writing to MT. Hoover, MT. McAdoo said:
 You are, as I understand, it, the sole purchaser in this country of food supplies for the allied governments. You must therefore, know the loca- tion of the food supplies which you from time to time purchase and the ports in this country to which you desire such supplies shipped If you will notify me from time to time of the location of the specific supplies and the port or ports in the United States to which you wish to | have such supplies transported, l will guarantee the necessary transporta- tion, subject alone, to interruptions from blizzards and floods.
 T wish to reassure the country by saying that so far as transportation is concerned there is no danger oi suffering from serious food shortage in the eastern part of the country"
 The food administration upon re- ceipt of the letter issued this state ment:
 While MT. Hoover is out of town food administration officials consider MT. McAdoo's statement very reas- surfing since it indicates that further cars will be furnished to westerI terminals and that the shortage iron these western terminals to easterI territory now will be overcome. A! the railroad directorate are evidentl. alive to the situation they will nt doubt take all necessary steps,

NINE PAIR SHOES |S
 \ SOLDIERS NEED
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Although the war department now has on hand and contracted for a total of 5,437 ,000 pairs of shoes, Secretary Baker an- nounced tonight that more than one million pairs of shoes will have to be secured for the army this year. This is made necessary by the building up of adequate stocks of reserves, both in France and in this country.
 General Pershing, having in mind the length of time shoes are expected to last the men in France, has requested shipments of 1S,590 pairs of shoes for each 25.000 men monthly, or apprexi- mately nine pairs of shoes per man an nually. This quantity is in excess of actual consumption and when a re- serve supply is built up. the quantities per man will be reduced.
 For troops in this country after the initial issue of 100 per cent, IT per cent month is required for uplleep and 12 per cent as a reserve stock At the em- barkation concentration camps 150 per cent is the ratio for equipping a given number, of men, with 325 per cent as the ratio for reserve stock In France the upkeep is placed at 75 per sGnt for given number of troops, with 75 per cent for the reserve supply.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-If the spirit of George Washington could have been abroad in New York this afternoon, and there were many who felt it was, the soul of Amer ica's first great chieftain must have thrilled with pride.
 There was a parade of soldiers on Fifth avenue-nearly ten thous- and of them. But Fifth avenue has seen so many parades there was nothing novel in military pag- cant. New Workers have cheered oyally all kinds and conditions of soldiers. They didn't cheer today. They felt more like weeping. What they saw was more than a parade. 1t seemed to them like a solemn dedication.
 Five hundred thousand men, women and children stood for two hours or more in a sweeping snow- storm and a stinging wind to see their sons and brothers and sweet hearts marching by-men of the national army.
 The men in line were New Yorks own, and they were typical Of the great polyslot city. Swarthy Armenians strode side by side with fair-haired Scandinavians. Irish boys rubbed elbows with Jews. Italians trudged beside Poles. Here and there was a Chinaman and there a face that was typically Yankee. Sons of Sons and Daugh- ters of the Revolution marctad with boys whose fathers were inn migrants generation ago. But every one of them was a citizen of

the United States and they were soldiers all. They had been fused in the great melting pot of war.
 Five month ago the same boys had rambled through the same street. nondescript throng of in dividuals-clerks and mechanics, bookkeepers and brokers, grocers' boys and longshoremen- repre- sentine almost every trade and profession and almost every race under the sun. They were the raw material from which armies are made.
 They came back today men of the 77th division, national army, Camp Upton, welded together into compact military units. Brigades, regiments, battaIions, batteries and companies strode through the wide streets in heavy marching order with the swinging stride of vet erans. Their bronzed cheeks glowed with health and their clear eyes shone with pride as they stepped briskly through the haze of falling snow to the stirring music of their regimentaI bands.
 Not a sword nor an inch of gold lace was to be seen. Brigadier General Edmund Wittenmeyer, with single gold star on the sleeve of his service overcoa., marched at the head of the line like the humblest doughboy of the lot. They were grim, determined, busi- ness-like. Young captains and lieu tenants who were carving out peaceful careers few months ago, parked commands which were obeyed with machine like pre- cision.

REPLIES TO STATEMENT OF
 HERBERT HOOVER
DEARLY BOUGHT BY YOUNG
 MARION SWENSON

Marion Swenson, a pretty six teen-year-oId girl, living at 1906 East Washington street, wondered what would happen if she applied a match to a dynamite cartridge. That was about o'clock last evening. The wonder grew into a determination to find out.
 The match was lighted and ap- piled. There was an explosion that reused the entire eastern part of the city. Three policemen hurried out Washington street and found a girl with a severe gash in one leg, lacerations in her face, which was also badly powder marked, and her left arm bleeding from several small wounds.
 Marion had gained the know ledge she sought. pr. Allen H. Williams spent nearly an hour dressing her wounds and making the girl as comfortable as possible.

PARIS, Feb. 22.-Standing on the steps of the equestrian statue of Wash ington in Place dIena, Stephen Pichon. foreign minister of France, made an address to great throng today. speaking in the name of the French government, he said:
 What we glorify at the foot of this statue is not only the commander -in- chief of the troops that won inde- pendence for America, but the personi- fication of the people without whom, in the terrible hours in which we are living, humanity would be on the point of perishing."
 Assembled around the monument were some hundreds of distinguished Frenchmen and American residents of Paris. Two companies of marines were drawn up before the monument. Standing with NJ. Pichon were Ambas- sador Sharp and Consul General Thackara
 M. Pichon said that Wilson and Washington contendeC Tor the same principles. After quoting from Wash ingtons speech of acceptance of the command of the Continental armies. M. Pichon exclaimed:
 Do you not find in Washington's words the very foundation of the idea that inspires the messages of Presi- dent Wilson? From Washington's work there was derived something more than the creation of the republic,
 Every day stronger and more pow erful, she is called upon to group around her all the nations of the new world She is destined by fertility, example, genius and expansion to mark indelibly with her imprint the future organization of the old world
 Tt is not we, gentlemen, who shall ever have to complain of the support which comes to us from America and which raises an insurmountable barrier to the designs of conquest and oppres- sion with which all people are men aced. She is one more guarantee of the aspirations. which France has had for long time, the symbol in the eyes of the free nations of Europe"

Republican A. p. Leased wirel

CHICAGO, Feb. 22-Harvey G. FL lerd, supervisor of Armour & Com pany's employees welfare and relief department. testified in the stockyards wage arbitration today that living con- ditions back of the yards" are better than. in Chicagos ghetto and other con- gested, Overerowded tenement house sections of the citys industrial centers.
 He admitted there were many fami- lies in the back of the yards" district who lived in overcrowded, unsanitary quarters and who might not be proper ly clothed and fed, but he said all of them were not employed at the stock yards and that many of these cases might be accounted for by the fact that the husband was either dead or had abandoned his family. Bad personal habits. lack of thrift and poor man. agement of household affairs by either the husband or wife, or both, were mentioned as other causes which led 10 poverty and suffering by packing house employees.
 The witness did not discuss wages, saying he had no information on that subject.
 He said he did not know whether the big packers ever consider the cost of living when fixing wage scales. The witness said the question or the amount of wages employees should re- ceive was always open to discussion.
 He referred to two typical homes re- gently visited by Judge Alschuler, the arbitrator, in his trip through the back of the yards district" The heads of both families worked at the stockyards and received S16.50 week one house was a model of .neatness and comfort, with the children we'll dressed and properly nourished. while the other was filthy and uninviting with the children ragged and poorly fed. He said the only way to account for the differences of the two home: was in the character of the heads O the family.
 He read figures from three of thu largest stockyards savings banks t' show that large majority of th'
