Cross button," a little Dallas girl wrote; it wa3 authoritatively stated today that a decree would be issued Thurs day allowing members of the imperial family, including those at Tobolsk, to "go abroad" in compliance with their request. This action of the Bolsheviki is due to insistence of the Germans in the armistice negotiations. The German negotiations, it was stated, had raised the question of dis position of the former members of royal ty, at Brest-Litovsk. The Bolsheviki leaders asked the opinion of the Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaievitch and Paul Alexandrovitch, who suggested that all members of the royal family be allowed to leave. The newspaper Vetchemey Vremi as sorted today that the kaiser had de manded from the Bolsheviki plenipo tentiaries release of the czar and his family from banishment and that the Atlanta, Ga.

Dec. 21. In the fact of a Btartling lack of clothing supplies, thousands of men will be called to the colors by December 31, Quartermaster General Sharpe admitted to the senate military committee probe this after noon, lie refers to the 23 per cent of the last increment of the first diatt not yet called out. At present Sharpe declared there isn't enough clothing for the men in train ing, and American troops sent to France are going over in uniforms 27 pet cent lighter than those worn by the ireucn and British troops. Ho advised the English system oi a "purveyor general of supplies" to order ordnance, lood and clotning lor tue army. Sharpe said one uiutorin eacn nati been issued to 1,640,000 men now, al though a small part of these uniforms were cotton. Switching to the subject of overcoats committee members began grilling Sharpe on complaints of overcoat snort ages that had been coming in from camps. A table submitted by the gen eral showed 2,090,01)0 overcoats had been completed by December 15 last. "How does it come then," asked Senator Hitchcock, "that with only ap nroximatelv 1.500.000 men to equip and with over two million overcoats made, the men had been without coats" "The bulk of these overcoat deliver ies came late in November and Decem ber." Shame replied. "Prior to that time we didn't have the coats for all the men." Major L. Hardeman of the quarter masters' department, testifying for General Sharpe, said there were suffi cient overcoats but the sizes were wrong "How did that cornei" he was ask ed. "Because in most draft cantonments the men are larger physically than those in the regular army and in the euard " said Hardeman. " Has every man iu the army an over Jcoat today?" Senator McKeller asked, j "As far as requisitions have been made," Hardeman replied. Klmrno read a Ions memorandum do- tailing how the time the army and the national guard were mobilized for Mex innn hnrder service his department had bought clothing, practically exhausting its funds. , When demobilization of the nnhor.nl guard was halted, Sharpe said ho got Secretary Baker's approval to an order for elothina, for 500,000 additional men. that being approximately the number of tho national guard and the army at war strength." In April, this year, he was authorized by Baker to order for 500,000 moro men and i;; June for a third 500,000. "What did these orders include for each man?'' asked Senator Weeks. "They were equipment C, or clothing and tents to last three months," re plied General Sharpe. "You know you now haven't got enough clothing for your men, don't you? " asked" Senator McKeller. "Yes," said Sharpe. "That's due to the way the men have been called out." "It'sthecause of the methods of pur chasing through the Council of Nation al Defense, isn't it?" demanded Mo liellcr. "No," said Sharpe. "We've got to have Borne system like that. If we did switch to the English plan we would be even better off. They have a purveyor general of supplies, through whom or ders for ordnance, food and clothing come from the heads of tho three divis ions. ' ' "How much clothing is General Per shing buying in England?" asked Sen ator Hitchcock. "I don't know," said Sharpe. "lie asked permission to buy and did not state tho amount." Sharpe said that the British embar go on Australian wool has been remov ed as far as this country is concerned and that American manufacturers are now working Australian wool into cloth for uniforms. Sharpe said he hoped there would not be another draft call soon as his department had been flooded with 700, 000 new enlistments iu the regular army which had upset his program. Sharpe said ho hoped they would be ready for a new call some time in January. Askiiie if there had not been some trouble as to shoes, Senator Wadsworth said he had heard that at Camp Custer, half of an infantry detachment was marched out to target practice and then returned, giving their shoes to the other half so, these men could practice. Sharpe admitted such a condition exists. Senator Weeks declared that a Massa chusetts shoe manufacturer who exam ined the, shoes issued to 20,000 men re ported that about eighty per cent of the men were wearing shoes too short for them. "This condition has been brought to tho attention of Secretary Baker and of tho medical department," said Weeks "The medical department concurred in the view of tho shoe man that the wearing of these short shoes would not endanger the foot-health of the men." General Hliarpe said that as a result of the report to Baker the system of fit ting shoes had been changed and ad ded: "General Pershing' has asked us to omit some narrower widths because his men are wearing heavy woolen socks." Sharpe placed the blame for improper fitting of shoes on company commanders u-:f i u,l Ilieui' ill umrun, sheriff j 4. -.i . that sends telegrams, contracts and IS DRAWING CROWDS Come Today, For it will mean a big saving on Xmas Gifts of MEN'S HATS, CLOTHING, SHOES and FURNISHINGS Also Xmas boxes filled with useful and dainty gifts.

Senator Wadsworth asked why blue overalls were issued to men iu canton ments. Sharpe said the overalls were given to protect uniforms from dirt in trench digging. "I was informed," said Wadsworth "that ono division commander bought tho overalls because ho had no regula tion uniforms and 7ater got your ap proval." "I was Informed General Glenn at Cliillicotho did Hint," said Sharpe. German Professor CenEiiied Suicide Palo Alto, Cal., Dec. 21. Professor Ernest W.
