NO RELIEF FROM
COLDFORESEENAS
CAPITAL SUFFERS

LittIS relief Is promised in today's
weather forecast from the intense
suffering that Is gripping Washing
ton with the coming OF another cold
wave that sent the mercury below
the zero mark. The cold win con
tinue today. and tonight there viii
be more zero records Tomorrow,
however, the cold will decrease
slightly,
The most cheering news contained
in the forecast is that there is no
more snow in sight. The skies will
continue clear.
In the poorer sections OF the city,
where coal is almost a minus guam
tity, the distress presents a serious
problem.
Many Plead for Help
The missions. police stations and
charitable organizations of every
sort are flooded with pleas for help
and are straining every enSgy to
meet the new crisis.
From midnight through the night
the temperature dropped steadily. At
midnight IT was degrees above zero
In the following hour it dropped to
4 and by 3 o'clock this morning zero
was reached. One and a half degrees
below zero was the record at 8 and
the mercury was AZ one degree above
FOR the next three hours
Gale Wrecks Hangar.
The cold rode into Washington on
the wings OF a wind that out-dis
tanced many railroad trains-and
street cars actually were seen to
shake. Practically all day long the
wind raced at a velocity OF twenty
five miles per hour. About noon.
with a rush that froze ears and made
chimneys bowl, there came a gale
that made a record on the inStru-
ments at the Weather Bureau OF.
thirty miles an hour.
During the gale the aero hangar
OF the British mission In Potomac
Park, in which two high power BIZ
planes that are to make exhibition
flights over Washington are stored,
went crashing to the ground.
The two bipIanes, fortunately, were
unchanged. and the flights WIN be
made as soon as the cold dIminishes
and weather conditions permit.

ton in Germany. There Is just one
way to beat Germany and that is to
beat her army"
Germany has 100000 men. per-
fectly trained and Splendidly equipp-
ed" Miller declared. The weak spot
in our preparations to beat such an
army is our weakness in the depart
ment of transportation. And British
officers tell me transportation IS 30
per cent of the game"
Summing up the submarine situa-
ton. Miller said the Germans had
bnilt, all told, 265 submarines, and
the allies had destroyed more than
100. New submarines are being de-
stroyed as fast as they are manufac-
tured. With the return Of summer
there will be a large increase In the
total tonnage destroyed by U-boats,
Miller predicted.

He insisted that to increase the ef-
nciency Of shipping the United States
must put the whole transportation
problem in the hands OF the navy. He
sal deach man at the front will re-
uuire six tons OF shipping a year and
therefore to maintain 100000 men

.-The first duty of our navy is to
protect the line OF communication
from France to America" Miller de-
clared.
tThe navy never will help win the

They regarded the war as an indus

That we may now advantageously
abandon the use Of substitutes in our

the present we need conservation in
butter and condensed milk; that ui-

the fats.
