 REFUGEES OF WAR
Sending Clothing to Men, Women
 and Children

Washington. Jan. 17.-Appeals to the school children of the United States to make garments for needy children, women and old men, who fled from the invaded districts early in the war are being made by the Red Cross. Some of these people are in France, others daily cross the Swiss border A recent cablegram from Paris states that an average of 250 children arrive daily from behind the German lines at Evianle- Bain and that 'in the first week of the Ameri- can dispensary over 2,40O children were examined, more than 1900 being between the ages of three and thirtee years" The refugees are destitutj and ill. They must be given both food and clothing before being sent on their "billets'' in various towns anu villages. The French government which is putting all it's force into the fighting line cannot care for these wrecks of war. They depend for all the first needs of life. for food, shelter and clothing, upon the American Red Cross.
 The Red Cross will continue to meet these heavy responsibilities as long as the people in America stand behind it with money and supplies. It is calling upon it's newest members, the girls and boys in the school auxi- liaries to clothe these children and their parents. The American children are assured that not an atom of their work will be wasted. Every garment turned in to the Red Cross for this purpose adds to some refugees fight ing chance for life.
 The Red Cross association says: Keep in constant touch with the nearest Red Cross chapter to find out what articles are most needed. Use only the warmest and most durable materials you can obtain, following directions in the American Red Cross pamphlets Jos. COP, 497, 40s, 4o9." The appeal from these destitute French children, whose fathers are fighting side by side in the trenches with the fathers of American children should set going the little fingers on this side of the water
 English schools took up this work in the war, sending in a few months 10000 Exits" to Belgian and Servian children.
 Normal school girls in France came 10 the aid of pupils driven from schools in the invaded districts. mak ing clothes for them and receiving them into their homes. American school auxiliaries are beginning we'll The Chicago school auXiliaries turned in 17,122 hospital and refugee gar ments between the beginning of the school year and December first. The children knit even as they walk to school.

Opinions Widely Divergent

New York, Jan. 17.-Surprise, and in many instances frank criticism, that greeted the first news here of the drastic measures promulgated by the national fuel administration for the conservation of coal today, found oftl- cials and employees studying the provi- sions of the orders, their possible ef- fleets on the citys industry and the manner in which they would be en- forced
 Fuel administrators frankly admit ted they were not prepared for such startling announcement from Wash ington and it would be some time be- fore they could familiarize themselves with the complex detail of the plan.
 Business men and officials views as to whether results would be beneficial were widely divergent. Many criticize the order as unnecessary and furnish ing no real solution of the problems, while others declined to believe that stern measures were needed to cope with the situation.
 Industries unable to carry their en- p1oyes on the payroll during the days of idleness will be forced to bear the brunt of the burden.

GARFIELD HEAD OF
 WILLIAMS COLLEGE
Fuel Administrator Also Held
 Chairs at Other Universities

pr. Harry Augustus Garfield, na- tional fuel administrator, is a son of James A. Garfield, president of the United States, who was assassinated in 1881, and a brother of James Ru dolph Garfield, secretary of the in terior under President Roosevelt. He was named as federal fuel adminis- trator by President Wilson on Aug. 23, at which time he was just com. pleting his work as chairman of the committee to fix the price of wheat until next year.
 The findings of this body, an- nounced a few days after his ap- pointment as fuel administrator, set the price at $2.20 a bushel, which aroused a good deal of criticism from the farmers, who had been getting nearly 50 per cent above that figure. Dr. Garfield began his work in charge of the fuel situation in the first week of September. Within a month he was in difficulties over the situation in his home state of Ohio, where mayors of cities were communicating coal that passed through because there was none in town; and since then the problems which his admin istration has had to struggle with have steadily grown more involved and ex- tensive.
 Dr. Garfield was born at Hiram. Ohio, in 1863, and was graduated from Williams College in 1885. He taught Latin and Roman history at St PauPs school, Concord, N. H., the next year, and in 1888 started to prac- tice law in Cleveland in a firm of which his brother was a member. During his fifteen years as a lawyer he rose to g. leading position in the public life of Cleveland. He was president of the Chamber of Com merce in 1898 and 1899, was an or ganizer of the municipal association, and served as vice president of sav- ings bank and director in several other financial and commercial cor po~ations.
 From 1891 to 1897 he was pro- lessor of contracts in the law school of Western Reserve University, and in 1903 Princeton, then under the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, called him into service as professor of politics. He served in this post for five years, becoming close friend of Grover Cleveland and Wood- row Wilson. Tn 1908 he was elected president of his Alma Mater, Williams, to succeed the Rev. Dr. Henry Hop kins, and is still serving in this ca pacitv in addition to his work for tho government.
 For several years his secretary in this position was Francis B. Sayre, who married Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter of the president. He is a member of the American Historical Association, the American Economy Association, the American Political Science Association, the American So- ciety of International Law, the Amer ican Bar Association, the National Municipal Leagues, and the National Institute of Social Science

STATE WAR COUNCIL
 OPENED IN CAPITOL
Governor HOICOmb Outlines Fur
 ther Duty of This State

Hartford, Jan. 17.-A war council under the direction of the state coun- cil of Defense, the first to be held in Connecticut to exchange views on eral government in it's prosecution of the war, was opened today in the capitol.
 Each town had been asked to send one delegate at least besides the chairman of it's local defense com mittee and the chamber of the house of representatives was filled when Governor Marcus H. Holcomb made the opening address of welcome and outlined the need of cooperation on the part of the towns with the state council.
 The governor urged that the people at home back up the soldiers at the front. He said America cannot is- ten to peace which means nothing but "a German vacation which will give the German emperor time to prepare to strike again. He contin- ued:
 We are here to learn what Con- necticut can do as it's part in the war. Connecticut has been in the fore so far among the states of the union which have co-operated Loyalty with the federal government. Let us see to it that our state does not lag. Thus far we have furnished 28,000 men for the war, but we have just begun to do our part in perpetuating the liberty of the natiOn.'

How are we to keep paying for these bonds and continue to subscribe for war funds, if they are going to take away a large percentage of our earnings? We feel that incompetent men are handling the fuel situation, and in tho interests of the country and our fam flies we demand that these incompen- tents he removed and their places filled by competent and practical men who understand the coal and trans portation systems"

 Steels, coppers and allied issues broke 1 to points and speciaIties in- cluding Motors to points. Rails were relatively steady, recessions in investment issues averaging little more than a point. The selling pressure relapsed after the first 15 minutes and by the end of the first half hour most losses were largely restc red. Lib- erty bonds eased slightly.
 Trading Quieted on the rebound with a firm under tone. Assurances that the exchange would hold regular sessions as long as the banks and oth- CT financial institutions continued their daily operations were most effec- tive in establishing confidence.
 Rallies of i to 3 1-2 points includ- ed, steels, coppers and equipments, rails also recovering substantially. At noon another buying movement was in progress which not only effaced virtually all losses of the opening but placed a number of stocks well above yesterdays final price.
