Quartermaster Sharpe Tells
Committee Over 2,000,000
Overcoats Delivered
Washington. 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

"Well, this has been a matter t of
ccnsidcrable controversy ever since the
civil war," said Sharpe.
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
