At least one of the downtown •porting goods houses is making much of the fact that applicants for enlist ment in the army or navy have been rejected because of undeveloped physiques. Using this as a basis, a gymnasium has been set up in the main show window and at intervals during th« day a so-called strong man goes through a series of exercises wldet sre calculated to correct the physical defects that humanity is heir to. While the strong man goes through his motions the men and boys grouped outside the window steps at him in open-mouthed astonishment. Hr does everything from picking up a pit to hoisting a lOO-pound dumbbell above his head. And, while the man exercises, a message of hope is conveyed to those who have been rejected, through -tin medium of a large sign in a con spii-uous position in the window. The -igri reads thus: "If you have beer rejected, buy a home exerciser and correct your faults. Uncle Sam need* you."—New York Times.

EXTEND THE EXEMPTIONS None of Essential or War Plants Are Shut Down—Millions of Laboring Men Are Laid Off New York, Jan. 1!).—Considerable improvement in the movement of coal to this port and in transit to new England was announced today by A. H. Smith, assistant director general of railroads. Washington, Jan. 19.—United States attorneys wtll take action against any manufacturing con cern or coal dealer refusing to com ply with Fuel Administrator Gar field’s order, the department of justice announced today. Dis trict attorneys have instructions to watcli coal dealers. Washington, Jan. 19.—The first day's enforcement of the order closing down Industry east of the Mississippi by denying it fuel, was attended today by the greatest confusion at the fuel administra tion. Demands for rulings and inter pretations poured down in a flood I and it was physically impossible to keep track of or reply to queries. Consequently the country early this afternoon was still much in the dark as to some provisions of the order. Criticism of the order broke out again in congress, re ports to the fuel administration told of wide interpretations of the mandate by industry and conflict ing rulings by local fuel adminis trators. While some industries in one state were closed down completely, in some instances the same class of business in other stales went on | as usual. An additional list of exemptions of industries was prepared by the fuel administration. The food ad ministration made a ruling ex empting alt businesses connected with food. Washington, D. c. Jan. 39.—Ameri ca felt the pinch of war perhaps for the first lime today with its industries hanging idle under the fuel administra tion's order issued to relieve the coal shortage and release fuel for ships loaded with supplies for the Amerlcar. armv and the allies. In the face of protests predicting dis astrous consequences and a formal re quest from the Senate to stay its exe cution temporarily, the order was signed last night by Administrator Gar field with tile approval of President Wilson. As sent out to state fuel ad ministrator the order contained but few changes from the form of the ab stract made public Wednesday, net* did it clem- up to any great extent the con fusion resulting from its .acl< of de tailed Interpretation.

Expedite Army Supplies. Through its application the fuel ad ministration expects coal to move to essential consumers, including rail roads. householders, public utilities and shipping interests and producers of food, in whose behalf the order is is sued. A supplementary list of exemptions Issued last night embraces various in dustries engaged in imperative war work. Shipyards working on navy con struction, plants filling contracts for army and navy woolen uniforms, tent manufacturers and manufacturers of other products deemed necessary for Immediate use of the military forces, : were named in this list. In the origin'll order, outline of which was made public Wednesday night, newspapers were unaffected by tlie five-day closing, but limited to holiday editions on heatless Mondays. Indication was given also that plants requiring heat to maintain themselves would be permitted to burn c-oal for this purpose, but would not lie per mitted to operate. This was inter preted by many as applying to blast furnaces. Protests Stiii Pour In. Protests from business interests ; throughout the country and the* storm in congress continued today. Failure of the fuel administration to heed the Senate request that the order be held up until an investigation could be made led to an agitation by many senators in favor of making a direct appeal to ' President Wilson. The Senate’s request was in the form i of a resolution debated an 1 passed by a vote of 50 to 10 about the same time Mr. Garfield’s name was affixed to the order. Prior to that time the fuel administrator had been before the Sen ate investigating committee to give his reasons for the move. In the House action on a resolution asking a postponement, introduced b> Acting Republican Loader Gillette, was prevented afle” sharp debate by refusal of Representative Cox. demo crat. t i give un. ml me:.-? consent for its considera lion. Defends His Action. The fuel administrator justified hie ! action in a lengthy statement last I night, in which he said this order was i prompted by the necessity for furnish ! iiig the American array abroad and I the allies with food anil supplies. The corutt*y. li» said, hail reached a I point of over production as far as distribution was concerned and manu facturing plants could well afford 1<> remain idle for a short time until transportation, both rail and water, could catch up. In replying to insistent questions as to why plants already supplied with coal should be shut down. Dr. Gar field declared railroad terminals were filled with loaded cars and unless pro duction ceased temporarily, cars would continue to be loaded with manufac tured products and stalled in yards when they should be used fur the movement of coal. ‘War munitions, food, manufactured products of every description,” said the statement, ‘lie at our Atlantic ports in tens of thousands of tons, while liter ally hundreds of ships* waiting loaded with war goods for our men and allies cannot take the scan because their hunkers are empty of coal.” Further Action Too Lato.

Coal operators under contract to sup ply industries will not be shut down. Orders from the fuel administration in struct them to ship their coal as usual consigning it to state administrators with drafts attached. The government will buy all coal from the mines, where industries are forbidden to receive it. A sum of ?2G,000,000 will be set aside for the purchase. Food industries with out exception will be permitted to operate on full time, according to an i interpretation of the order made public | by Food Administrator Hoover. "It is my understanding.” said Mr. Hoover, “that the order does not in clude grain elevators, grain mills, bak eries, stock yards, meat packing es tablishments, cold storage plants, sug ar factories Or any other form of the good industries." Special orders issued by the fuel ad ministration last night concerns pack ing beans, canning milk and roasting coffee for government contracts, also are exempted. Manufacturers of optical glass are al lowed to operate on government orders. Gompers Supports Garfield. Support of the measure, despite the fact that organized labor would be one of the chief sufferers, has been an nounced by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Gompers, however, expressed doubt that the five-day suspension was the best way to meet the situation and sug gested that all industries be placed on an e,ight-hour day basis. It was ordered today that only one ice making plant may operate in any one place. The exempted plant, how ever, will ho required to furnish its product to the closed ice plants at pro duction cost. All the principal munition plants will he permitted at full capacity under the fuel restricting order. As announced last night by the fuel administration, only portions of the plants making condenser tubers would have been permitted to operate. It was an official mistake. All the Dupont Powder plants and the plants of IS other great companies mentioned in last night's official an nouncement as being restricted to manufacture of condenser tubers are by the official modification today per mitted to run full blast. •--■ — ' Senate Commitee Drafting Plan for Drastic Changes in the American War Machinery.

Entire Austrian Companies Shot; Disaffection Grows in Germany London, Jan. 19.—According to a telegram received in London, German Chancellor von Hertling has again postponed the speech which he was to have made toduy in reply to the defi nition of war aims by President Wil son and Premier Lloyd George. Petrograd, Jan. 19.—Whole companies of Austrian guards have been ordered shot for their sympathy with Russian socialistic views, according to reports reaching here today. According to reports reaching here many units of the Austrian forces on the Italian front have been executed l’or their refusal to obey the orders of the officers. This disaffection among the mili tary is spreading among the masses of Germans at home and the German gov ernment is making strenuous efforts to stop the Russian propaganda. Trotzky telegraphed from Brest-Llt ovsk today that tho German govern ment is deliberately garbling reports of the peace negotiations. Presumably ■ tills Is in line with the Teuton effort to mislead public opinion in the central powers. News from the camp of 25,000 Ger man troops who have deserted, con tains the announcement that they have accepted the principle of the Russian socialists. It is reported today that the force is well armed and organized. Tlte men live by food which they for age and by contributions made by tho peasants. A similar situation of disaffection is reported along the whole Italian front. T/ondon, Jan. 19.—The political situ ation in Germany and the relations with Russia continue to be agitated in the German press. An article quoted from German newspapers received by way of Switzerland gives an idea of the trend of feeling. The Frankfurter Zeitung warns Its readers against undue optimism in re gard to the negotiations with the Rus sians, whom it accuses of attempting to hinder the proceedings for their own interests. Demonstr^ions Spread. The Volkasteinmo of Manhelm, a so cialist paper, says that serious popu lar demonstrations against the German annexationist policy occurred at Buda pest and other towns In Hungary and Austria after Chancellor von Hertllng made his statement in the relc.hstag. The Deutsche Tages Zettung publish es agricultural reports showing that In consequence of t lie shortage of fodder the dead weight of cattle sent to the Berlin market is only one-half the nor mal. A telegram from Rotterdam says that beginning today all railroad passenger traffic in Germany is being reduced 60 per cent.

People Held in Iron Grip. The Times publishes a long report attributed to a neutral who has made an extended stay in Germany, describ ing Internal conditions. The writer re iterates that the effects of food short age are severe. The shortage of coal in Berlin is an other source of trouble. After enumer ating the difficulties the correspondent writes: "Nothing but the iron grip of Prus sian militarism restrains the nation from making more pronounced advances to its adversaries than any which have yet been made. The Germans are long ing for peace, but they want peace with victory. They no longer abuse their en emies as in tlie early days of the war. Doubtless the shortage of supplies lias much to do with the change of mental attitude. The proudness of the flesh has given way before the discipline of fasting. This accounts for very much j in recent developments of German pol- } icy.” SENATORS INDIGNANT OVER DEFIANT ACT BY GARFIELD Washington. 1). C., Jan. lit.—Wtien congress assembled attacks on the fuel restriction order burst out anew, mingled in the Senate with resentment that the fuel administration has ignored its resolution asking for de lay. Senators described themselves as be ing in a state of “impotent indigna tion.” "All tills chaos is shameful,”) Senator Smith of Michigan, republican declared. “The Senate should rise and clip the wings of those who seek to exercise such authority which was never intended to be given." Attacks on tile fuel restriction order blazed up in the House again today. Representative Snyder, of New York, denouncing it said the president had made, a fatal error in permitting Dr. Garfield to issue the order, which he said, meant utter chaos, want and suf fering in this country. Many members took part in the discussion. In the course of the discussion on the Senate floor yesterday, Senate leaders indicated they fully expected the re quest of the Senate to be complied with. What adds still more to the remark able nature of the situation is the fact that the Hitchcock resolution emanated from a democrat and commanded wide democratic support. One thing evident is that the dis regard of tile Senate by the adminis tration is likely to have profound ef fects on legislation from this time on. For weeks it has been apparent the breath between the legislative and ad ministrative end of tlie government lias b 'l ii widening. Will Press New War Bills.

Tilt* president gave his app.’jval to the order, as has been ) repeatedly stated, and he stands behind the fuel administrator.
