Caustic is Comment


 NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Fuel ad- ministrators in New York tonight applied a voluntary censorship to their comment on Administrator Garfield's drastic order for the con- servation of fuel. They declined. to talk about it until they had an op- portunity to digest the unexpected regulations.
 Business men were not so reticent and it was easily gathered that they did not look with favor upon the order. Most of them, especially newspaper publishers, expressed more or less confusion as to just what il meant.
 A delegation of theatrical men an nounced that they would go l. Washington tonight and appeal tc the administration to permit them to keep open Mondays but close Tuesdays. It was explained by them that the 'physochological effect upon the public of having a holiday MoLday and no place to go except home, would be demoralizing upon the Ne< York public.
 The president of the stock eN- change said the exchange would re- main open if the traders on the floor and the employees had to wear over coats. Brokers took the same posi- ton.
 F.. H. Outerbridge, president of the chamber of commerce of the state ol New York. said Dr. Garfield's ordel seems to give great encouragement to the enemy, great discouraSemen' to our allies and great interruption to the war preparations of thi' | nation
 It seems to me that the program of a suspension of industries is destructive rather than a construc' tive program" he declared. "l seems that the most drastic efforts should be made to increase the pro duction of fuel rather thar to hav' to curtail production of the necessl | ties for lack of fuel"
 The following telegram was sen to President Wilson tonight by tn publishers of the World, Herald Evening Post and Brooklyn Eagle:
 We earnestly represent that tn order just issued by the fuei admin istrator is calamitous in its characte and unnecessary under the fast i'm proving conditions. It will dislocat industry, throw millions out of em plovment and impoverish familie who depend upon daily wages. : five day interruption. and ten Monda, | shutdowns will wipe out their llVini margin. Why not order five work ing days of sixteen hours on coa | deliveries and mine production

Intercepted Messages of Bernstorff Implic a t e Former French Premier In German Conspiracy
Republican A. P. Leased Wir..l


 WASHINGTON, Jan 16.-Evidence which will play a part in the treason trial of former Premier CaillauX in France was given to the public by the state department today in another se ries from the departments store of in- tercepted diplomatic correspondence.
 The messages, exchanged between Count von Bernstorff, former German ambassador here, and the Berlin for eign office, show that during his visit to Argentina in 1915, CaillauX was in communication with German agents, condemning the French government and asking that his position at home be not damaged by praise from the German newspapers.
 A final dispatch gave notice that the captain of the ship on which CaillauX was sailing carried important papers, and urged that in case the vessel was captured CaillauX, in an unobtrusve way be treated with every courtesy and consideration"
 Tie messages were furnished to the French government before CaillauX' S arrest It is understood that they were made public here by arrangement with | Paris.
 1 | The news of NJ. Loustalots arrest spread quickly and a crowd which gathered to see him leave his resi- dence. cried:
 Down with the traitor"
 Premier Clemenceau's paper L'Hom- me Libre, says that additional docu- ments have reached Paris from the United States concerning Loustalot and Comby. These give details of Con- bys trip to Switzerland, when he was accompanied by Loustalot who was then in close relation with Salin Muni, Pasha, the former Turkish ambassador to France
 When NJ. Loustalot arrived at the Sante prison he acclaimed bitterly:
 Who would have thought when was a member of the commission that assisted in the inauguration of these buildings thirty years ago I one day would occupy one of the cellS?"
 Mot Proven" is Defense Ferite, a pro- Caillaux paper, say: that M. Caillaux during his examina ton on January 3 described the con. tents of his safe a s including proof! t of a book e1i Agiftiit and document. throwing light on certein acts of Pres ident Poincare and M Clemenceau. NJ Caillaux pointed out the indiscretiol of allowing any foreign power to gail knowledge of the documents.
 Madame Caillaux, says the paper emphasized that if Count von Lux burg the former German minister a Buenos Aires, telegraphed to Coun von Bernstorff, the former German ambassador at Washington, concern ing conversation with M. Caillaux, i had not been proven that the conver sation ever took place.

Besides shipyards and factories pro- ducing foodstuffs the few exceptions to the general rule forbidding the use of coal in the periods specified are plants which must be continuously operated to prevent injury to the plants them selves, newspaper plants and printing establishments which publish current and periodical magazines.
 On the Monday holidays besides manufacturing plants tho following consumers will be forbidden to use coal:
 Business and professional offices (except to prevent freezing). except those used for government officers, or banks and trust companies and those housing physicians and dentists. wholesale and retail stores with excep- tiOns for drug stores and those that sell food; all amusement places and sa- looms. State fuel administrators may close the bank and trust company buildings if they think necessary. On these holidays subway. surface, elevated and suburban cars cars will be permitted to use only the amount of coal they normally consume on Sun | days.
 | Some domestic utilities probably will | be exempted from the order in supple mentary rulings including laundTics, ! ice plants, and hundreds of others up- on which the people are dependent for 1 supplies and service. Officials tonlsu. foresaW that the l German government might distOrt and make much of the order to improve the morale of the German people. but they said this danger was negligible when 1 compared with that of permitting the fuel situation to continue un;rnproved. The order Was issued under authority conferred in the Lever food act. which l provides fine of S5.000 or impTison- ment for violation of its provisions and warning was given that it would be strictly enforced.
 To precent industrial unrest it was said tonight the government might make formal request on industries affected by the order Go pay their em- ployes during the time they are idle.
 Comes Without Warning
 The governments move came entire ly without warning in an order issued by Fuel Administrator Garfield with the approval of President Wilson pre- scribinS stringent restrictions govern ing the distribution and use of coal. IL was h-AAufa hlttAi anN lilt president and government heads as a desperate remedy for the fuel crisis and the transportation tangle in the eastern states.
 Officials would not discuss the far reaching effects the action would have or the industrial fabric. and questions as to how the order was 10 be inter preted to meet specific problems went unanswered.
 The order prescribes a preferential list of consumers in whose interest il was drawn. These users will get coal in the following order: Railroads.
 Household consumers, hospitals charitable institutions and army and navy cantonments.
 Public utilities, telephone and tele- graphic plants.
 ; Strictly government enterprises ex- cepting factories and plants working or : government contracts.
 Public buildings and necessary gov ernment, state and municipal require
 ments.

sales agent of the Owl Oil Company,
who has just returned from the oil
fields of Oklahoma, brings encourag-
