says the main reason is that ne
armed foe has invaded the United
States The night skies have
not been reddened by the burn
ing byrcs and farmsteads OF
America, that no raiding parties
have hurried off our cattle or
horses. No Saber rattlers have
insulted our women. In fact, it
has seemed to many of us that
we were not at Lwar, the thing
was so far off and it came to us
in some unfamiliar guise.
Again it says, ''The farmers
everywhere love peace. The
American farmer especially
loves peace. Since the dawn of
history the farmer has been the
man who suffered most from war

dwellers in the cities because it
takes longer to send to the farms
than to the cities the call to

farmers from the fields than the

many do not hear the first blast
Of tie trumpet and others do not

\ notable feature of the address was the sympathetic attitude of the president toward the Russian repre- sentativeS who dealt with the Ger. mans al the peace conference.-the BolShevtki. often eNecrated for their defection from the entente and for permitting themselves to be drawn ia. to the Teutonic peace trap.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-In order quickly to press in the senate legisla- ton which it regards as necessary to improve the army purchasing system, the senate military committee today decided to suspend its war inquiry after hearing Secretary Baker Thurs day.
 When his examination is completed the committee plans to report to the senate and recommend legislation which Chairman Chamberlain is ex- pected 10 outline in the report.
 Examination of Charles Eiseman. vice-chairman of the supplies commit tee of the council of national defense. was completed today.

 In his testimony NIT. EiSeman de tended the work of the supplies com mittee. it's policies and personnel and criticized the war departments pur- chasing system which. he said was handicapped by red tape" and the lack Of officers trained in business The committee. he said. had saved the government not less than S75.00O.OO on purchases and he emphatically de- nied that any members of the commit tee had sought advantage through their official positions for companies they were financially interested in.
 Capitalization of authority in the war department in making purchases for army cantonments. NIT. Eiseman said. was a prime evil of the general purchasing system. A plan for decen- tralization was submitted to Quarter master General Sharpe. the witness said, and was approved ''in spirit but not in practice"
 Eiseman presented new statistics of cloth secured for the army by bis com mittee to subStantiste his assertion that an overSupply had been furnished which claim was not in accord with information previously given the sen ate committee by General Sharpe.

PLAN IS ANNOUNCED FOR
 ECONOMY IN FUEL
"Non Essential" Industries Needs in Coal Will Be Cut Just Enough to Furnish
 Amount Necessary for War.
CRr Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Jan. s. - A coal budget plan based on the voluntary agreements Of manufacturers not en- gagged in war work 10 reduce their fuel consumption and backed by orders of the fuel administration making the agreements applicable 10 all factories of each industry, was announced to- night by the fuel administration as ;tS method of adjusting demand to supply in 1918.
 Reduction in consumption of pos sibly 50.O0O. eco tons Of coal for the year is contemplated. The army and navy. munitions works. other war ma terial factories. public utilities and dO- meStic consumers will be the only classes of consumers to receive loo percent of their needs while the war continues.
 Manufacturers Conference
 Manufacturers already have been called into cOnferencetO put the plan into operation. and the annual saving promised by the first group will be be- tween 15.000. .000 and S0.O00 900 tons. In 1917 the increased demand for coal amounted to lO0.0000O0 tons, while the increase in output was about l5.- OGO.0O0 tons Under the same oOndi- tions this year the untitled tonnage would be taken care of by the reduc- ton in factories not contributing di- rectly to the prosecution of the war.
 Curtailment of fuel consumption necessarily implies reduction of out put by the factories. so the fuel ad- ministration sees in its program aid Tn the diversion of labor and materials to war work The budget" by agret- ment is adopted in lieu of the often proposed arbitrary classification of in- dustrfes into essential and nOn-essen- tial divisions.
 Tt is believed the fuel administra- tiOn's announcement says. that the operation of this plan will lay the ghost of the agitation to cut of non essential industries and will automat- ically balance the relation between the production and consumption of coal and prevent any repetition of the present coal shortage"

 LARGE, CLAIM
Newport News Shipbuilding Company's General Mana ger Tells Committee That Program Will Not Be Full filled.
fRr Review Leased wirel

WASHINGTON. Jan. S-America's 's prcbable output of merchant ships m 1918 was nut at three million tons today by Homer l. Ferguson. presi- dent and general manager of the New port News Shipbuiiding company testifying at the senate shiphuilding inquiry. Estimates frequently made of from five to eight million tons, he declared. were misleading to the pub lie and should not be permitted to go unchallenged.
 The greatest obstacle now in the way of rapid construction, NIT. Fergu- son said. is poor housing facilities Tor shipvard workers. His story Of sous ing conditions at Newport News so stirred the committee that a sub-com- mittee comprising Chairman Fletcher and Senator Harding was appointed to confer tomorrow with the proper government officials with a view to obtaining immediate relief there and elsewhere.
 Mir. Ferguson did Rot hesitate to criticize the shipping board and the emergency fleet corporation and held them to blame in large measure for the slew development of the govern ment's program.
 Housing Problem
 The housing problem" NIT. Fergu- son declared. ''is one of the most vital facing the government in the conduct of the war. You cannot get the ships unless houses are provided for wOrkmen. We want to add 5000 men to our force and there is nowhere in Newport News for them to live I understand that conditions elsewhere are equally bad.
 There is no limit to the amount of ships this country can build if really sets itself to the task. The shipyards already built and those building can turn out five million tons annually under proper conditions and the coun- try could. if put to it. add still other yards and produce ten million tons year. But it cannot be done without man power and man power cannot be obtained unless housing is provided"
 Lack of Coordination.
 Members of the committee were in- terested to know what had caused the NN4AN AAAC housing facilities and NIT. Ferguson replied that he thought it was dut to lack of coordination by the war and navy departments. the shipping board and the council of national defense. In Newport News. he said. the growth of the military establishment had ab- sorhe1 all available housing.
 Would the program, in your opin- ion. have moved any faster if practi- cal shipbuilder in the first place had been put in as general manager of the fleet sorporations Senator Martin asked.
 Yes" Mir. Ferguson replied. 50 far as l know this is the first time since the program was put under way that a practical shipbuilder ever was asked officially for his advice or Sug- gestiOns as to shipbuilding."

LONDON, Jan S.--The additional strength which the enemy can obtain from the events in Russia and Italy al ready ras been largely discounted. and the ultimate destruction of the enc nIy-s field forces has been brought ap- preciably nearer is the confident summing up by Field Marshal Haig. the British commander in chief in France and Belgium. of last years work by the British army on the west ern front The statement is contained is an official report of General Haig's spring and summer campaigns, in to- days official Gazette
 The report covers the period from the opening of the Arras offensive, April 9th. to the conclusion of the Flanders offensive in November. Sub seeuent events of the year. including the Cambrai battle. will occupy a sep arate report. which is to be published shortly
 General Haig closes tOday's report with a brief tribute To the Americans.
 Americans Praised.
 During the year. says General Haig. the Unitei States has entered the war and taken up their part with all the well known energy and ability of that great nation. Already many thousands of American soldiers are in France. Warm as is the welcome they received from the French people. no where will they find more genuine or friendlier greeting than among the ranks Of the other great English speak ing armies"
 At the outset of his report General Haig explains how the general allied plan of campaign for the year was settled at conference at French head quarters in November 1916.
 The plan" the report says. com prised a series of Offensives on all fronts. so timed as to assist each oth- CT by depriyins the enemy of the power of weakening any of his fronts to reinforce another.
 This plan had 10 be modified on a wholesale scale from the very start
