Statistics go to show that service in
the army during the present war is
hardly more dangerous than many of
the hazardous occupations in which
men are employed, a fact which should
mitigate the apprehension of those
who are trying to escape service from
fear of death or injury.

Bishop Cook of the Methodist Epis-

Bishop Cook of the Methodist Epis-
copal church was asked his personal
attitude toward the conscientious
objector" to war, and he hits the nail
squarely on the head in the following
language: SHOULD such persons be
punished, be put in prison, or intern
ed? No! Government has no right to
punish a man for his opinion. 1t
seems to me, therefore, that the SIM
plest way to deal with this difficulty
various and complicated as the ques-
tions are, is Let the government re-
spect the conscientious DIRECTORS"
opinion, thus giving him all benefits
of doubt, but at the same time let the
government severely insist that he
shall take the full consequences of
his opinion. If he is sicere, he cannot
object to that. Let him be deprived
forever of all benefits of war, of all
political, social and civil rights eff
any man will not work, neither shall
he eat" He has no inherent right to
these privileges. He was not born with
does not obtain them because he is Il
human being, but on the ground that
he is citizen Of the United States.
They are political grants. The power
that gives has the power and the right
to take, away again. Let the Director,
then, hold to his opinions, but let him
also abide by the consequences of his
opinion. The hair must go with the
hide. The conscientious objector has
no claim upon a government he dis
owns, upon country, it's laws, it's in
situations, its life and civilization, he
will not defend. He is a man without
a country, and if he Is not cowardly
shipker he will be sufficiently moral
to abide by the natural consequences
of his convictions"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-Recruit-
ing machinery of the American army
showed signs OF breaking down to-
night under the enormous strain put
upon It by the thousands of men who
have offered themselves for enlist
ment within the past few days. In
some cases recruiting officers have
found themselves without means of
accommodating recruits and have
been forced to discharge them and
close their offices until the men al
ready in their charge can be dis
tributed.
This means that many men OF draft
age will fail IN their effort to enlist
before noon tomorrow. after which
time they may join the regulars only
in their status as members of the
national army. Protests against turn
ing the men away have come, one
from New Rochelle, N. Y, but war
department officials said tonight moth
ing could be done about it. as It was
impossible for the recruiting stations
to handle the food OF applications.

would be a betrayal OF the trust"
Thus in forceful form the British
premier, David Lloyd-GeOrge. has
summarized the situation in the
world war from the viewpoint of him
self as head of the British govern
ment and of his colleagues.
The premier said it was folly to ex-
aggerate the situation created by the
events in Russia and the possibility
of release of hundreds of thousands
of the enemy to attack Great Britain.
France and Italy, but that il Russia
had decided TO abandon the struggle
the American democracy was taking
it up. Germany, he added. was gam
bling on the failure OF the United
States to transport her army to Eu-
rope, and the future of the world de-
pended on the efforts of Great Britain
and the United States to increase
their output OF ships next year.
On the fighting front there has been
everywhere a great decrease in the
activity of the infantry but artillery
duels of huge proportions conlinua
between the British and the French
and the German in France and the
Italians and the Austro-Hungarians on
the Italian front To the east of
Ypres the Germans in a local attack
have captured British front-line
trenches on a front of 800 yards,
while the Germans. according to the
Berlin official communications, have
repulsed British attack in the Cam
brai sector east of Bullecourt, launch
ed in an endeayor to recapture lost
positions. The Germans are carrying
out heavy bombardment in the lat
ter region.
Big Guns Working
The big guns are doing most of the
work on the Italian front. where the
Italians still are barring the way of
the Teutonic allies toward the plains.
In Thursdays fighting the enemy in
attacks between the Brenta and Piave
rivers again made an insignificant
gain. but as on the previous occa-
sions only under huge sacrifices of
men.

Bolsheyiki and counter-revolutionary
forces are arrayed against each other.
is still obscure. unofficial dispatches

Mr. Spreckels. who said his refinery
was closed because of lack of sup

president OF the American Sugar Re-

PRESIDENT IS
LOOKING FOR
Great TALENT
Though No Definite w or d
Has Been Given Out, Presi-
dent is Thought to Be Con-
sidering Man for Position.
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Without
any reason for it apparent on the
surface, the impression grew today
that President Wilson will settle the
question of how the government is to
deal with the railroad problem about
Monday.
The president still is deliberating
over the various proposals that have
been put before him-the government
operation or suspension of anti-pool-
ing laws, alternatives of the interstate
commerce commission, the plan for
naming a federal administrator to di-
rect operations by the present rail-
road management and the confident
assertion. of the railroad war board
that the lines can handle the situa-
ton themselves with certain changes
in government policy.
Looking for Man
In considering the appointment OF
a federal administrator or director. it
is understood the present is occupied
chiefly with the question OF who the
man shall be. Several names already
have been discussed at the capitol
and in railroad circles, without, how
ever, any indication that the presi-
dent actually is preparing to select
one OF them. First on the list has
been Secretary Lane, whose knowl-
edge of railroad questions is Will
known because OF his service on the
interstate commerce commission. AS
sociate Justice Brandeis of the su-
preme court has been mentioned, and
the visit of former Justice Charles E.
Hughes to the White House a few
days ago added him to the group.
Today the name OF Secretary McAdoo
was brought out, and the president
was said to be weighing the question
whether the head OF the treasury de-
partment could be spared from the
tremendous task of handling the ma
tons financing.
Aid in Future
Senator Newlands, chairman of the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee and of the joint congressional
transportation committee, referred in
a speech in the senate today to the
possibility OF government aid in
financing the railroads.
NO one can measure the loss to
this country as the result of made
quate facilities for transportation
both on water and on land" he add
ed. THE railroad ficilities are ade-
quate for normal demands. but they
are not adequate for the extraordi-
nary demands of the war. and the re-
suit is that the cars usually applied
to the transportation of coal from The
mines to the places of consumption
are used for other purposes.
THAT car shortage caused an in

COAL ICE bound
CAUSING GREAT
DISTRESS IN EAST
New York Facing the Worst
Shortage of Fuel In Its His
tory. Thousands of Tons of
Coal Are Tied Up.
(By Review Leased Wire)

NE WLORK, Dec. 14.-Homes and
industries in New York were con-
fronted tonight with the most seri-
GUS coal shortage in the city's history
because of inability to get supplies
across the river on barges from New
Jersey tidewater pointes where thou
sands of tons are icebound. The situa-
tion which was already bad, was
greatly aggravated by last nights
storm.
An investigation by the fuel .ad-
ministration today disclosed that
nearly one-half of the city's coal
yards are empty while others have
only few tons on hand. Thousands
of families have no coal to heat their
homes and scores of the city's manu-
featuring plants are said to be on the
verge OF shutting down. 1t may be
necessary to close many of the pub
lie schools unless fresh supplies are
received at once.
Poor Hard Hit.
Dealers throughout the city are be-
seigned by poor persons seeking coal
in small quantities.
The coal has frozen solid in
dumps and coal cars and it can be
shoveled only with the aid of live
steam. Fuel administrators held out
hope that the shortage would be re-
lieved in "a hours.
Two blocks from model tenement
houses on the East Side occupied by
nine thousand persons ran out of coal
today. The owners announced that
until sufficient fuel can be obtained
to heat the apartments, tenants will
be allowed 10 cents day on their
weekly rents for extra gas.
II is said that within a radius of
300 miles more than 100000 carloads

andise are at a standstil

When his sugar was getting low in

asked Food Administrator Hoover
that he be allowed to pay more than

declined, saying spectators were

Under questioning by Senator Jones

understood that about half of the TO-

Recruiting Offices Working
OUertin,e to Enlist Men Into
Fighting Force Ofthe Nation

1t was pointed out that registered
men who do not get into the regular
army through the recruiting stations
may do so after noon tomorrow by
volunteering through their local
boards. Their applications will be
acted upon Immediately, but they will
appear on the rolls as membersof the
national army.
The recruiting list made public to-
day shows a total of 14,291 men ac-
cepted yesterday, which is probably
5000 less than half the number taken
in. as 10 districts failed to report.
Indications came that even a greater
number applied today. AS no quar-
ters were available It was decided at
several stations to send many of the
men home.
To care for those accepted during
the rush it has been necessary to
send many to national guard camps
or to national cantOnments for TEN.
