MAKES APPEAL TO REJECTED
Sporting Goods House Has Shrewd
Idea in a Combination of Pa
triotism and Business.
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.

Wheels of Industry Throughout
Eastern States Shut Down
by Order of Fuel Ad
ministration.
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. By Us provisions
manufacturing plants cast of the -Mis

ly all business activity will be stopped
on every 'Monday for a period of 10
weeks, beginning January 21.
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.”

sible attempt might be made in the

section of the food law under which
the order was issued, but many be

would be too late.

A sum of ?2G,000,000 will be set aside
for the purchase. Food industries with

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

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

A telegram from Rotterdam says that
beginning today all railroad passenger
traffic in Germany is being reduced 60
per cent. Correspondents sending the
reports say (hat there is every reason
to believe the transfer of troops to the1
western front is the real reason, adding
that It is reported these troops are to
be moved suddenly for concentrated of
fensive.
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.
't'lic'-occur* tier respecting the Gar
field fuel order is certain to cause
those senators who are demanding cen
tralization of authority over munitions
and war supplies to go abend the more
vigorously without reference to the
wishes of the administration.
in Issuing the order and adhering to
it, it is well known Dr. Garlield is not
proceeding alone. Tilt* president gave
his app.’jval to the order, as has been
) repeatedly stated, and he stands behind
the fuel administrator.

WANT RATIONING PLAN
Trouble Due to Mismanagement
of Distribution Rather
Than Any Actual Short
age of Supplies.
London, Jan. 19.—Increasing atten
tion is being given by the newspapers
to food troubles and popular im
patleneo with what is regarded wide
ly as avoidable privations. The Times
today prominently calls attention to
the persistence of the unequal distri
bution of food and its off-spring the
"queue system,’’ which It says is be
ginning to tell on the tempers of num
bers of persons. It refers to numerous
protests and to the demands for ra
tioning which are finding an outlet
in some instances in outbreaks of diS;,
orderliness. It writes sympathetically
of people standing In long lines In the
hitter weather prevalent is parts of
England, including London, and says
it would bo folly to Ignore the ob
vious symptoms of unrest.
Numerous paragraphs appear hi tho
newspapers recording demonstrations,
unsatisfactory distributions, "queues,"
sufferings, shortages, prosecutions for
hoarding and allegations of profiteer
ing.
The labor correspondent of the Times
says that it is evident that a situa
tion is imminent which will tax tho
food department to tho uttermost. Ho
says there is no occasion for alarm, but
a need of complete frankness and
prompt action. The writer restates the
view of the workers that not only are
the wealthy people able to escape
"queue troubles’’ by the power of their
purses, but they are getting all the sup
plies they require, while the poor stand
for hours exposed to the weather and
then often get nothing.
The workers also are convinced that
an artificial scarcity has been created
by the furmers, dealers and speculat
ors Tlie unrest, the writer continues,
will be allayed only when the fond
controller convinces the average work
ing man that curtailment Is unavoid- *
able.
Plan Big Demonstration.
Popular dissatisfaction with the food
distribution, which is particularly
strong in Industrial districts, will be
forcibly expressed at Manchester and
in that neighborhood January ihj. when
according to a decision Just reached,
100,000 workers In the Manchester en
gineering shops will cease work for a
day, with the purpose of protesting
against the unequal distribution of food
and demand a general rationing order
The engineers are supported by the
Manchester and Salford labor council
and similar demonstrations are to be
held simultaneously in Salford, Eccles.
Altrincham and Stretford. According
to tlie leaders of the engineers, there
is deep dissatisfaction and suspicion
among the men who believe that the
difficulties are due less to shortage of
food than to unequal distribution.
They cite instances of the men hav
ing to start work in the morning with
out food, owing to the inability of their
wives to obtain it the preceding day.
