Woolen Mills Superintend-
ent Says It Is Far Below
the Standard Used for the
German Army.
Shortage Would Be Greater
if Quality Had Been
Higher Faulty Distribu-
tion System by Quarter
masters DepartM snt.

Washington, Jan. 3.-If the United
States had undertaken to clothe its
soldiers as well as Germany clothes
hers, the shortage in uniforms and
overcoats would be much greater, M.
e. Driscoll. superintendent of the Rari-
tan IN. J.) Woolen mills. testified to-
day before the senate military affairs
committee.
Driscoll, wool expert, was shown
samples Of cloth from American and
German uniforms. He unhesitatingIy
said the German cloth was much high
er grade. ;.la
Z 'aOf course 1t takes much longer to
manufacture than our Uniform cloth, ;
said Driscoll.
WEARING QUALITY LOWERED.
Driscoll testified that changes made
by the supply committee of the nation
al defense council in the specifica-
tions for shirting and uniform cloth
did not improve the wearing qualities
or the warmth Of the cloth. The wear
ing quality, on the other hand, was
somewhat lowered.
1T is my individual opinion that the
uniform now being issued to our SOL
diers Is too light" said Driscoll
The cloth used in marine corps uni
forms is much warmer than that used
for the army, he said. Wearing quail
tiles are about equal, he added.
NOT ENOUGH WOOL.
Driscoll declared II shoddy, or re-
worked wool, had not been used In the
American uniforms. there would not
have been enough wool to produce the
cloth. The use of scraps cut from
cloth from which uniforms are made
meant great saving to the govern
ment both in time and money, Driscoll
said.
Scraps are made into reworked
wool, he explained.
1T was to salvage these scraps that
the Base Sorting company was
formed" he said.

Thousand Men Of Glass

Taking Men From De-
ferred Exemption Glasses.

Washington. Jan. 3.-Immediate reg
who have become Fl years of age since
the first draft registration was urged
today by Provost Marshal General
Crowder in his annual report to the
secretary of war.
II this is done and similar registra-
tions held each year, 100000 physically
fit men of class one, the provost mar
shall general stated will be available
for service every IL months and this
would not, necessitate taking men from,
the deferred exemption classes.
"The policy and peiief of this office
is that in all probability 1t will be pos
sible to fill all our military needs from
class one," the report stated.
DRAFT SKILLED LABOR.
Skilled labor and farmers will be
drafted from the deferred classes,
Crowder intimated, should the situa-
ton demand"
"The situation in these respects Is
serious now, particularly in the ship
building industry and in factories
working on war munitions" he added.
1T is probable there will be short
age of farm labor in the spring. al
though the new draft regulations have
relieved that situation"
The report was placed before con-
gress today with the request for an
amendment to the selective service act
xxh iRh ahat fba Nln % 11at
ing quotas.
NEW BASIS PROPOSED.
In the first draft the quotas were
based only on the population, but
Crowder asks that the new basis be
made the number of men found in class
one in each district. Disaffection was
caused in many districts under the
last draft because the large number of
aliens. all of whom were exempt,
caused the quotas to be much higher
than the average.
The per capita cost of drafting has
been s4.93, which is about one fourth
the amount it cost the government to
get each volunteer into the army. The
lowest per capita cost was in Okla
homa, where the average was S1.57,
while Delaware led the list with SIC
for each man.
This includes all expenses necessary
to get the men to the.camps.
Crowder's report was submitted to
congress at noon.
Twenty nine per cent of the men
called for physical Xaminations were
found deficient, it shows.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
THE PAN-SOvIET TODAY ADOPT
ED RESOLUTIONS APPEALING TO
THE GERMAN PEOPLE URGING
THEIR ASSUMPTION OF THE
RIGHT TO NEGOTIATE A "GENER-
AL DEMOCRATIC PEACE"
The resolution declared that the Ger
man terms ''evade the principle of no
annexations and are not acceptable to

The soviet appealed to the people of
the central powers thus:

FRNMENT TO ACCEPT OUR MOT

TERMS HYPocRiTicAL.
Foreign Minister TrotZky announced
at the meeting of the soviet that
Germany's peace proposals were "hyp
ocritical" and declared the Bolsheviki
government, could not consent to
Them"
Evidences multiplied today that ir-
reconciliable differences between Rus
sian and German peace conferees will
force discontinuance of future separate
peace negotiations and that the ar
mistice may not be renewed.
The Russians are now apprehensive
of German trickery in every move by
the Teutonic delegates and agents here
md at Brest- -Litovsk.
SERIOUS DIFFERENCES.
Serious differences, it was stated,
had been developed here today at the
conference between Russian and Ger
man commissioners to discuss ex-
change of war prisoners. The Ger
mans. under Ambassador Mirbach,
are openly seeking to utilize the con-
ference for a reopening Of German
trade in Russia. The Bolsheviki del
egates have emphasized anew their
unwillingness to go beyond the lines
indicated in the armistice.
The Germans even proposed to reg
ulate Russian railway traffic but the
suggestion. was rejected as "untimely"
by the Russians.

about the ncw President of Brazil he

He was very aataSonistic against
our people in Brazil, ana looked on the
growth OF German influence with dis
trust and envy. He regarded our
power in Brazil a. mcnac!ns. and was
working day and night TO cXpci all
Germans from his country. Prompted
no doubt by the English. the new Pres
