Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 21.-Ten thous-
and manufacturing plants closed, an
industrial army of 100000 workers
idle was Chicago's response Friday to
the sweeping order of the federal fuel
administration for the conservation
of coal.
With the stilling of the activities
and the consequent lifting of the bur-
den from storm harassed railroads,
great streams of coal began moving.
The storm of protests which greet
ed the announcement from Washing
ton died as the day wore on and the
public adjusted itself good natured-
ly to the hardship as part OF its 'bit"
in the war. Street and elevated traf-
fic was cut down materially and
watchful guards kept the temperature
in the cars at minimum while out
side below zero weather prevailed.
Meanwhile organized efforts were
being made to care for small wage
earners whose families had been left
in distress. Some plants announced
that they would pay part salaries of
workers left in enforced idleness.
Others prepared to Immediately re-
lieve any distress that their forces
might not be disrupted by migration
of the employees.

Ged.
Referring to the activity of German
agents in the United States. DR.. Birk-

Norway Bitter
Against Allies

Christiania, Jan. 21.-Feeling in
Norway against Amer ca and to Il
less degree against the ether entente
allies is growing bitter. 1t is report
ed here that America demands the
stoppage of Norwegian exports to
Germany in return for shipments of
grain to Norway, but refuses to guar
antee Or promise Norway any supplies.
The Norwegians are asking why
they should offend Germany by cur
failing supplies at the request Of
America, and also risk being left
empty-handed by America, after all.
Reports that Denmark is receiving
provisions and other goods from
America are received with amaze
ment and some anger. The Norweg.
ians say it is an open secret that the
Danes have fed Germany during the
whole period of the war while the
Norwegians claim to be comparatively
innocent, yet they say Denmark is ia.
vored by America and the allies and
they ask why.

Fargo, Jan. 22.-"Don't get tired
making surgical dressings" said Mrs.
u. McLaws Kiefer in talk last eve-
ming before the, surgical dressings
workers Of the two cities. "You can
make surgical dressings from now
until we are in Berlin, and there won't
be too many.
II know that you must sometimes
become discouraged, continually MAX
ing dressings without seeing any re-
turns and without realizing the extent
of the good they are doing. If you
could see the appreciation of the
nurses and doctors when they have a
good supply of we'll made dressings
you would feel repaid.
"Make large dressings. They are
most needed, for the wounds we have
to care for are huge and cannot be
dressed with a little gauze. When a
surgeon calls for wipes and is given
a package of these finger sponges that
YOU make, he will almost fire them
across the room. They can be used of
course for small eye wounds and for
other small wounds but they are not
nearly as necessary as the larger
dressings.
''It is perfectly awful to have to
stop and substitute something TOR
gauze when you are dressing wounds.
Other things do not absorb and are
unsatisfactory besides being bother
some to procure"
In response to questions from the
workers, Mrs. Kiefer told of the need
and usefulness of certain of the gar
ments being made for use in hospitals
and in the trenches.
Of the knitted articles, she said that
wristlets were greatly needed to pro-
tect the arms as their were many
cases of frozen wrists. Sweaters are
splendid and she said that the socks
were greatly appreciated if the heels
and toes were not too large. These,
she explained, are bunglesome under
shoes.
"There could be nothing more SEN
sible and warm than your knitted he'll
mets," said Mrs. Kiefer. ''They are
far better than the trench caps. More
abdominal bands are needed as the
men have to lean against the cold,
damp walls Of the trench for hours at
a time and we nave many cases of in
ternal injury as a result.
"We have difficulty in keeping the
men in hospitals warm when they are
able to sit up in bed. Something
should be devised to be worn over the
back and shoulders"
Mrs. Kiefer is the sister of Mrs. A.
W. Fowler of this city and has been
her guest for several days. She leaves.
this morning for Enderlin where she
will visit for a time and will then
meet her husband here.
