War Work Exempt
Under New Ruling

1t became clear tonight, however.
that the order will not be nearly so
sweeping as originally intended,
despite the failure to modify its
wording to any marked extent.
A supplementary statement issued
with the order embraced list of
industries engaged in imperative
war work which will be exempted
from the orders enforcement. 1t
includes shipyards engaged in naval
work, few plants turning out prod
ucts needed Immediately by the
army and navy and portions of
plants producing tubing. The list
was prepared by Secretaries Baker
and Da4.iels.
Plants making woollen army and
navy uniforms and cloth used in
their manufacture and concerns en-
gagged in filling contracts for tent
and other equipage made Of heavy
duck were exempted from the five
day closing period in special order
issued tonight by the fuel admins

milk and roasting and packing cof-
fee under army and navy contracts
also were exempted by the order
The action of DR.. Garfield in Sign
ing the restrictive order when he
knew the Senate was about to pass,
or had passed. resolution asking
him to delay it, is regarded as GER
tain to bring about situation with
out parallel in Congress tomorrow.
Senator Hitchcock, who introduced
the resolution which passed to-day,
thought tonight Congress would
probably repeal the sections of law
under which DR.. Garfield had acted.
Senator Hitchcock and others
looked for widespread refusals on the
part OF manufacturers to comply
with the order, as exceeding the au-
thority bestowed by the law.

Senate 5 Messenger
Arrived Too Late

Senator Hitchcock said:
II had hoped that DR.. Garfield would
be guided by the wishes of the Senate.
When the resolution was passed the
secretary OF the Senate called Dr. Gar
field on the telephone and told him OF
the action. saying he would take the
resolution to the fuel administrator at
once. He arrived at 6:30 p. M. and
was informed that Dr. Garfield had
signed the order at 5:45 D. m.
Il will not be surprised if those who
have fuel resist the order. The gen
eral opinion in the Senate is the law
does not grant such power to the aa-
mnistrator. Certainly it is outside the

1t is possible to see that revolution
in process to-day. All that is ncces-
sary to bring it about is for the coun-
try to see in its true light what the
istration has just done in order

OF the Administration failures and
an invitation to the country to bear

failures. 1t has failed to provide ships
to take away the manufactured war
supplies to Europe, and they have

given for stopping production.

is another reason for stopping produc-
ton.
1t failed to adopt policy with re-
spect to the price and distribution Of
coal until ii was too late to get out of

under war conditions. Shortage OF coal
is given as another reason.
1t has failed to formulate a plan and
policy for the production of war sup

War Department Merges
Various Branches Of
Army Into Regulars

Through recent order Issued by
General Peyton C. March, Chief of
Staff Of the United States Army,
Reserve Corps, National Guard and
National Army all lose their identity
as such and are merged into the
United States Army. The United
States Army includes all the land
forces insthe service of our govern
.ment regardless Of how raised, all will
wear the same insignia.
& The new order YIELDS all the COM
ponent fighting forces of. the nation
into what will eventually be the larg-
est and without doubt the most Of
fcient army in the world The same
rule applies to officers who have been
commissioned in the Reserve Corps
and in the National Army hereafter
all will be regarded as holding CONF
mission In the United States army.
General March's order will wipe out
all distinctions which heretofore have
existed and it already has met with
the hearty commendation Of all. men
in the service as wen as receiving the
stamp Of approval Of the general pub
lie. This country has but one army,
with but one aim and object, and dis
tinctive appellations such as National
Army, Regular Army, ETC., are not
conducive Of the proper unity.
As regards the new draft act, no
definite action has been taken as yet.
The general belief, however, is that
Congress will take speedy action on
the measure as soon as it is brought
up. The age limits agreed upon in the
preliminary draft Of the bill, namely
from 18 to 45 years, will doubtless be
accepted by Congress without change.
