New York City is still nearer the
end of her slim fuel resources and
no relief is in sight.
There Will We no break in the ex-
tremely cold snap, now holding the
city in its grip, for nearly week to
come, according to reports from the
Washington Weather Bureau.
Efforts of Federal. state and CITY
officials to bring reserve supply of
coal to the city yesterday failed
utterly. Ice gathering in the river
and Lower Bay blocked the coal
barges and detied the ice breakers.
Thirty-one public schools remained
closed yesterday because of the fuel
shortage and continued cold.
The supply Of kerosene, to which
many persons turned when their coal
was exhausted, is running low.
Nearby New Jersey is suffering
greatly by shortage not only of coal.
but of gas. light and water. Short
age of fuel and water has resulted
in interruption of train service, de-
laying thousands Of commuters.
The peril from lack Of water sup
ply was reflected on Manhattan last
night when mains burst in two diff
ferent parts of the city, causing
great damage.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-04

and the only way to secure prompt ac-
ton is to stop investigating and begin
constructive work. Accordingly de-
termned effort will be made to finish
up next week.
Little of real Importance remains to
be done. The medical bureau and sig
nal bureau Of the army will have to be
inquired into. But the subject of the
health Of the camps has been treated
IN the testimony of the commanding
officers already called to the stand.
An inquiry into the signal service will
probably disclose that the air pro-
gramme is failing behind. Too much
was promised by the enthusiastic men
who undertook to create an. airplane
industry virtually out of nothing.
But nothing of Importance compara-
bic to the failure of the Ordnance Bu-
sue the subject too hard would be to
incur the disfavor that has fallen upon
Senator Reed for his obvious attempt
to make q case against Mr.. Hoover.
The reorganization Of the Ordnance
Bureau, which has just been an
nounced, is not regarded by the Senate
Military Affairs Committee as adequate.
Manufacture still is under the military
head of the bureau. And, moreover,
the committee finds the system of man
ufacturinr and buying uniforms as un-
satisfactory as that of manufacturing
and purchasing guns. The reorganiza-
tion in the Ordnance Bureau just an
nounced is not taken as an effort of
Secretary Baker to put his house in
order in an attempt to ward off a de-
partment of munitions. What has
been done is understood to have been
done by General Wheeler, the new act
ing chief of ordnance, on his own initi-
ative. General Wheeler is supposed to
be doing the best he can to Introduce
efficiency into the bureau in case Con-
gress or the President does not create
new department.
The Military Affairs Committee
spent most Of its time to-day upon the
subject of woo!len uniforms On this
subject it seems to be established that
4 great mistake was made in adopting
too light weight cloth for present
day fighting. No witness has been
found who defends the sixteen ounce
uniform. Germany uses a twenty-four-
ounce cloth and England and France

[Staf Correspondence1

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a circum-
stantial story related here to-day gave
a reason for the retirement Of William
j. Flynn, chief of the Secret Service
of the Treasury Department. It was
stated that he found it impossible to
render effective wartime service to
the government without the necessary
cooperation and support Of the De-
partmcnt of Justice, and that he pre-
sented statement Of the situation to
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo, to-
gether with reluctant expression of
his determination to resign unless
these conditions improved.
Mr.. McAdoo, friends Of Mr.. Flynn
declared to-day, submitted the matter
to President Wilson, who was said to
have declined to take any action or to
submit any recommendation, as a de-
cison favorable to the Treasury Depart
ment and the Secret Service as against
the Department. oe Justice might have

Latest advices from Petroerad saw
that Russia has made counter offer
to the German peace terms. which
includes the immediate evacuation
by the Germans Of occupied Russian
territory, this to be governed bv
local bodies, assisted by local militia
until referendum can be taken.
The Russian terms will be discussed
at the peace conference which recon-
venes at Brest-Litovsk on Saturday
Leon Trotzky. the Bolshevik For
eign Minister, has announced that
Russia will never consent to the
"hypocritical' German peace terms.
and that negotiations may not be re-
sumed at Brest-Litovsk.
The Council of Soldiers and
Workmen's Delegates supports him
and has adopted a resolution calling
on the German people to make real
peace based on q genuine no-annexa-
ton formula.
Petrograd is discussing possible
renewal of fighting with 5000 900
revolutionaries in the field.
Recognition of the Bolshevik gov
ernment by the Allies is impending,
according to Londen adviees.
Meanwhile there are reports of
great perturbation in Berlin over
Russia's unexpected attitude. The
Kaiser has held a conference of his
chief leaders, military and political,
and the leaders of the people de-
mand that the Reichstag be sum-
moned.
The Socialists oppose Won Kuehl-
mann's plan of annexation fatty.
Reports from Amsterdam say that
Chancellor Hertling is '.ill' and that
Prince Won Bulow may soon sue
ceed him. Nevertheless all the Ger
man peace delegates are hurrying
to Brest-Litovsk in the hope that
negotiations will be resumed where
they left off.

cloth two ounces lighter. How grave
the results of this mistake will be
will not be known till the health Of
the camps under winetr conditions is
on record.
With regard to the adoption Of shod
dy. witnesses testify that the new
uniform is not apprcciaby less warm
of the army, which has 10 per cent
more new wool in it than the present
cloth and 20 per cent of cotton, as
against 35 per cent of shoddy or "rc-
worked" wool in the present garment.
Charles Eiscnman, OF the Supply
Committee Of the Council Of National
Defence, was on the stand again to-
day and much time was wasted while
he made speeches to the committee,
cross-examined the committee itself,
evaded issues, answered one question
when he was asked another, and got in
to quarrels with Senators.
Typical of the way Mr. Eisenman
answered the committee were his an
swers in regard to the failure to ac-
cept the offer of wool by the Boston
Wool Association. First he said:
well, you know wool might have fallen
in price 1t did, in fact, go up. But
that proves nothing"
When asked by Senator Weeks #
wool ever did go down when war was
declared, he said:
"How do l know? Wars are nothing
in my life"
And then he said that that was not
the reason why they had not accepted
the Boston offer. The real reason was
that at the time it was made the sup
ply committee had not the power to ac-
cept it. In the course of his testimony
on this subject he asserted the failure
to accept this offer was CT no conse-
quence, since there never was any
shortage Of wool, although the danger
Of such shortage has al along been
given as the reason for using shoddy.
Mr.. Eisenman on the stand strength
ened the opinion of the committee that
centralizing, manufacturing and buy
ing for the army was imperatively
needed.

Kuehlmann Confirms
Refusal to Grant
Socialists Passports

PETROGRAD, Tuesday, Jan. Re
plying to Russian protest, the Ger
man Foreign Minister, DR.. Won Kuehl
mann, has confirmed Germany's re-
fusal to issue passports to Hugo
Haase. Georg Ledebour and Karl Kaut-
sky, Socialists, who desired to go to
Stockholm to attend an unofficial peace
conference. DR.. Won Kuehlmann stated
this refusal should nct~be interpreted
as an act in opposition to the move
ment for peace The German govern
ment believes, he said, that the prog
ress of peace negotiations might be
hindered by an unofficial conference
held simultaneously with the official
negotiations.
