SUCCESS DR. STAMPS

Director Archer Points out
Some timely Truths.

Responsibility fer the success or
failure Of the war savings stamps
campaign in West Virginia rests
With The people Of The state. The
cali for the sale Of S2S,O00.o00 OF
war savings certificate stamps in
the state is definite one put for

thtoush the national war savings
committee The ruldllment OF this

casioned by the war, and opposition

cred by Robert L. Arr8ar. state di
rector for war savings, IN state
ment issued in reply to certain in.
terests in the state which have been
putting forward the business as us

it is impossible to hope for business
as usual under existing conditions
and that the people OF the state must
realize. in common with those Of the
entire nation, that the question OF
goods and seryicess IS ineradicably
connected with the business Of the
winning OF the war,
He declares further that though,
through mistaken sense OF person

fuse to sacrifice their personal com

that shortly. when they will do with
out things because they are not to
be had. just as many have been do
ing without sugar and coal during
the past few months. and that what
they waste now they will probably
want in the course of another year
He explains. too, that the success
Of the war savings campaign Is of

Here It COmes-What?
 Cold Wave Prediction;
 We'll, Wait, It's Coming

Washington, January 2S.-Much colder weather throughout the south east as far down as northern Florida was forecast tonight by the weather bureau. The lower temperatures will extend into the Florida peninsula by Wednesday,. while by that time 1t will be somewhat warmer in the lower Mississippi and Ohio valleys. Rains in the south Atlantic states Tuesday will be followed by generally fair weather.
 Warnings have been issued of the breaking up of the ice in the Ohio river from the mouth of the Kanawha to below the mouth of the Big Sandy within the next 24 hours, the weather bureau announced, although on account of the colder weather in the Ohio valley the next 36 to AS hours, gem eral break-up is not probable.
 The southwest disturbance of Sun day night now extends in a thin trough from the east coast of the Gulf of Mexico far north to Georgian Bay and there also is a moderate sec- ondary disturbance off the Virginia coast Both are moving northeast.

CITY COMMISSIONERS
 COMMENT ON SERMON

Birmingham yesterday talked about many things, heatless, meatless, wheat less days and many other things, but it did not forget to talk about the sermon delivered by Dr. George R. Stuart at the First Methodist church on Sunday morning
 The most interested group of men to be found, however, was at the city hall, where the members of the city commis- sion discussed the minister's sermon.
 Commissioner John II. Taylor of the de- partment of public safety commented very briefly upon the sermon He said: "I was there. and I heard every word of his sermon
 If 1t is the purpose of Dr. Stuart to institute public remorms we are only too glad to have him go ahead" said pr. N A. Barrett. president of the board of commissioners. Such a move ment would be great help to us. and we would appreciate his efforts
 .'Dr Stuart called at my office Sat urday afternoon to talk things over,' said Commissioner Hornady. He had been somewhat misinformed about sev- eral things I set him right on them, and he changed his sermon somewhat"
 We realize that as commissioners we are the legitimate objects of public crit icism,'' said Commissioner Burruss Intelligent criticism from public men makes us see ourselves as others see us. and we appreciate that greatly. However, I know that all the commis- sioners are doing theIr level best to force the compliance with all the laws strictly and firmly. Such criticism as that which we received yesterday is dis tasteful when we are all doing every thing we can.

 H. J. Holgate. an Anglo-American business man, said:
 Instructions were given to the pas- sengers at breakfast to prepare for boat drill at 10 o'clock. We were making ready to go to our stations when the .or- pedo struck and consequently there was little confusion. Owing to the heavy list. some of the passengers experienced difficulty in making their way 10 the sta tions promptly.
 The passengers in our boat included a Belgian woman of T years and a Russian woman with two small children. They behaved bravely
 "A friend of mine, w. J. Nichols of London, told me he saw submarine twice, once within 20 yards of the life boat again 50 yards distant

TRANSPORTATION IS
 BECOMING SERIOUS
 IN EASTERN STATES

Washington, January 2s.--In tho face of blizzards which completely stopped traffic on some eastern rail- roads today. the hauling of sufficient coal to homes and important war in dustries in the eastern part of the country became more serious prob- lem than at any time this winter.
 Officials of the railroad and fuel administrations said. however, they did not believe it necessary to declare another five-day industrial shutdown in view of the general observance of today as the second of the 10 so- called "heatless Mondays" No exten- sion of the eastern freight embargo was needed, it was pointed out. be- cause railroads are accepting practi- cally no shipments except fuel and food
 There was general and heavy fail of snow today from the middle west to New York and it extended tonight into New England In the middle west sleetstorms interfered with traffic while in some sections rain fall Added to the concern of railroad ad- minstration officials was the fear ot floods which would follow a sudden thaw. In parts of West Virginia to- day railroad authorities reported streams swollen with melting snow were threatening interruption of coal transportation.
 Unofficial reports received today in- dicated that the production of bitumi- nous coal last week was more than 40 per cent below normal, largely be- cause of the ear shortage. The stop- page of traffic by today's storms will result in decreased supply of emp ties to the mines
 Many coal trains were tied up in the snow today while the continued cold weather was expected to make in- creasinglv difficult the unloading of coal cars
