.' Washington, Feb. 13. Fuel Adrain
j isfrator Garfield today suspended the
j Monday closing order, but left the
' way open to put it again into opera
tion if it appars that that would be
necessary.
State fuel administrators were given
permission to keep the order in force
in their states it appears that
it should be done to relieve
.fuel shortage and also . were au
thorized to put into force any other
restrictive measures that special cir
cumstances make necessary.
The part of the Monday closing or
der establishing a priority list in coal
distribution will be continued gener-
ally, as will the embargoes placed on
railroads by Director General Mo
Adoo.
The operation of the priority ar
rangements and the embargoes, Fuel
Administrator Garfield said today,
promise to solve the fuel problem,
unless there is a return of bad weather.
Dr. Garfield said that the New Eng
land states were the only ones that
had requested that the order be con
tinued in force, and that J. J. Stor
row, fuel administrator for New Eng
land, probably would issue a special
order continuing its operation in
those states.
He described the New England
fuel situation as critical.
WAR LORDS SHOW
NO DESIRE FOR
PEACEGEORGE
After Careful Examination of
Prussians' Speeches British
i Premier Says He Finds No
Chance for Settlement.
(By AiMttUtfd Frou.)
London, Tuesday, Feb. 12. The
('government, Tremier Lloyd George
'"said in ( his speech before Parliament,
would stand by the declaration of war
li ims he made last month to the trades
ctmions representatives.
He said he had read with most pro
! found disappointment 'the replies of
Count von Hertling and Count Czer
" nin to the statements made by him
f self and President Wilson.
No Difference: in Substance.
;' There is a great difference in the
Jitone of the Austrian and German
f- speeches, he said, but he could find no
24' As to the reply of Chancellor von
3 ' Hertling, the premier said:
q wv,, ..... v,io anwr tn the allies
! ryery moderate demand? His Answer
rwas that Great Britain was to give up
t T its coaling stations,
r T '" .. Tfci nalinir station had been as
iiivav vw""6 " '
accessible to German as to British
ships. In the past the German fleet
always has received most hospitable
treatment at all these stations. Dur
ing 1913 some 65 visits were paid to
them by German men-of-war and they
received exactly the same facilities as
British men-of-war. The same thing
applied to German merchantmen.
Germany Not Reasonable.
, "Tn mat iirh demand for the
J, first time in the fourth year of the
a war is the best possible proof that the
I German emoire or those at present
controlling it is not in a mood to dis
cuss reasonable terms of peace.
"I regret it profoundly, but there
is no use in crying 'peace when there
is no peace.
"These terras, were examined care
fully and were examined with a real
desire to find something in them
which indicated the central powers
were prepared to come somewhere
near a basis of agreement, and , I
confess the examination of these two
speeches proved - profoundly disap
pointing to those who were sincerely
anxious to find any real and genuine
desire for peace in them.
"The action of Germany with refer
ence to Russia proves that all its dec
larations about no annexations, in
demnities or contributions have no
real meaning.
No Answer on Belgium. '
"No answer has been given with
regard to Belgium which anyone can
regard as satisfactory.
. "No answer has been given with
nnnl a PnlanH nr the legitimate
French claim for tie restoration of
its lost provinces

of war aims it already has made.
"Until there is some better proof
than is supplied by the speeches of
the statesmen of the central powers
that they are prepared to consider
them, it will be our regrettable duty
to continue making all preparations
necessary, in order to establish inter
national rights."
Premier Lloyd George then turned
to the question of the Versailles con
ference and said he was not prepared
to enlarge upon the extended duties
of that body.
He said it was giving no military in
formation to say tht until the pres
ent year the allies had Ir ' a pre
donderance on the western front and
no attack which the Germans could
bring to bear upon the British or
French armies could have been dealt
with in the main by the reserves of
the respective armies.
"That situation is entirely changed,"
he said. "If we had not dealt with
that situation we should have been
guilty of gross dereliction of duty."
Refuses News of War Council.
Contrasting previous councils with
that at Versailles, the premier empha
sized the fact that at Versailles the
civilian and military members were
sitting together the prime ministers,
the commander-in-chief and the
chiefs of staff of three countries.
The discussion was absolutely free
and there was complete unanimity
reached. There was no division of
opinion upon any resolution ar
rived at.
"I must speak cautiously." the pre
mier continued, "because military de
cisions are involved. To give away
such information (concerning the en
largement of the duties of the Ver
sailles council) is treason beyond de
scription and 1 decline to do it.
There is no army whose security
more depends upon these decisions
being carried out than the British
army."
borne commotion was caused in the
house by the premier's refusal to give
more details of the Versailles confer
ence.
In conclusion, Premier Lloyd
George said that if the house and the
country are dissatisfied with the con
duct of the war and if they think
there is any government that can con.
duct it better it was their business to
put the other government into power,
Baby is Badly Scalded in
Bucket of Hot Water
Camille Gilmore, 18 months old,
was severely scalded Wednesday
morning when she tried to wash her
hands in a bucket of hot water in the
kitchen of the Gilmore home, 1708
Leavenworth street. The child's
screams attracted the mother's atten
tion, and a physician was sum
moned. The baby was removed to
St. Joseph's hospital.

POSTMASTERS DO
QUEER TRICKS TO
FOLLOW ORDERS
Local Federal Officials Com
plain That Alien Registration
Cards Are Being Sent On
to Washington.
Officials here in charge of the reg
istration of alien Germans complain
of the "boneheadedness" of some of
the postmasters and other officers
out through the state who are doing
the registering. Some of them have
befti sending the registration certifi
cates to Washington, although the
instructions plainly state that they
are to hold these for 10 days and
then send them to the Omaha head
quarters.
Postmasters are to send the cer
tificates after 10 days to the postmas
ter at Omaha and chiefs of police are
to send their certificates after 10 days
to the United States marshal at
Omaha.
A long telegram was received
Wednesday by the marshal from
Washington stating that the certifi
cates have already begun to come in
there from some postmasters and
asking that they follow instructions.
One postmaster mad- an amusing
blunder. On the outside page of the
blanks is a place where th: name is
to be written. In the space for
"given name" and "surname" the
postmaster wrote "none."
The publisher of a small town
newspaper sent in a bill for $11 for
"publishing the notice of registra
tion.' He'll have a merry time try
ing to collect it.

POISONED WATER
A T STOCK YARDS
KILLS 325 SHEEP
San Francisco, Feb. 13. Federal of
ficials and San Francisco health au
thorities have united in investigating
the death here Tuesday under mysteri
ous circumstances of 325 sheep and
lambs in a stock yard corral in which
approximately 7,600 head of stock
were quartered.
All indications, according to those
making the investigation, tended to
show that the animals were killed by
poison placed in the watering troughs.
Animals in other pens were not af
fected. Further loss of stock was antici
pated, it was reported last night, as
many other animals in the pens in
which the dead sheep and lambs were
found gave evidence also of having
been poisoned.
United States Marshal James B.
Holohan reported the matter to Attor
ney General Gregory at Washing
ton, D. C.
Arthur Dunn Dies ii. East.
Secretary Miner of the Elks has
received information that Arthur E.
Dunn, former newspaper photog
rapher of this city, died in New York
City two weeks ago of heait disease.
Mrs. Dunn and family were in Ana
conda! Mont, at the time of Mr.
Dunn's death. A report was received
from Anaconda two months ago that
Mr. Dunn had been shot.
