Saving Days.
PROBLEM IS SERIOUS
Chicago Goes To Use Of Coal Cards
and New York Faces Fuel
Famine-Heavy Shows
Continue.

Washington, Jan. 29-As the re-
suit of series of unprecedented
storms of an unprecedented winter
which have swept over the East and
into New England more fuel holidays
are in prospect. Railroads are block.
AIDED, making the problem of alleviat.
ing the coal famine more serious than
it has been at any time this winter.
DR.. Harry A. Garfield, national fuel
administrator, speaking before 1000
persons in the Billy Sunday taber.
nacle, declared that unless the
weather abates Immediately it prob.
ably will be necessary to declare
more fuelless Mondays to relieve tho
situation.
The snowstorms that swept over
the country west of the Mississippi
river stopped all traffic on many of
the Eastern lines. The handling of
sufficient coal for homes and neces.
sary war industries became more Of
q problem than it has been since the
Garfield order was issued.
Officials of the railroad and fuel ad.
ministrations were frankly worried,
but explained they did not believe it
necessary to declare another five.
days industrial shutdown.
No extension Of the official East
ern freight embargo is necessary, rail.
road administration officials said, be-.
cause railroads are now accepting
practically no shipments except of
fuel and food.

HAS FINANCING PLAN
McAdoo Would Have Government
Extend Aid.
Proposed Corporation Would Make
Loans to Enterprises e.
sential to War.

Washington, Jan. 20. Secretary
McAdoo has recommended to congress
the creation of half billion dollar
government corporation to make loans
and advances to enterprises essential
to the war and otherwise assist in
private financing.
The secretary also asked that all
private issues of securities of more
than 100000 be made subject to the
approval of the government body, to
be known as the "War Finance Cor
poration."
The proposed corporation would
have power to make advances to
banks which finance industrials, es-
sential to the war, or buy direct the
securities OF such corporation, sub.
icct to certain restrictions concern
ing price and length of the loans.
The corporation also would make
short time advances to the savings
banks.
Would Deal In Bonds.
Further powers Of the corporation
would be to Subscribe for, acquire.
and own, buy and sell, deal in bonds
and obligations of the United
States" 1t could issue notes of or
bonds of its own of an amount not
more than eight times its capital.
which would be supplied originally
by the government.
The corporation would be managed
by the Secretary of the Treasury
and four directors to be appointed by
the secretary with the approval of the
President.
The draft Of bill embodying
Secretary McAdoo's suggestions was
prepared and will be introduced
shortly in both houses of Congress.

The Cause Of All This Blood and

mind which caused this war:

lingly into a forced war !. That
national selfishness does not seem
a duty to you, but a sin, is some
thing you must conceal from for
eign eyes. Not as weak-willed
blunderers have we undertaken
the fearful risk of this war. We
wanted it. Because we had to
wish it and could wish it. MAY

When the Gumshoe Bills and

personal and political prejudices
become clogs in the wheels OF
America s war machinery, when
in order to keep thmselves IN the

can war work, they should be put
where they can harm no one but
themselves. BY their silly and
villaneous wrangling they are as
sisting in the butehering of good
American young men-the best
blood of the country is being spill

ness as they exemplify. If their
