Paris. Oct. 10 Cby maiI.)-"The
Chief" has smiled for the second
time since he came to France-and it
Is the talk of the -th Infantry.
The Chief is Private Ross, a
fullblooded Ute Indian. About a year
ago he threw up his job herdins

Arizona, walked fifty miles down to

and enlisted. In the training camp
he was nicknamed The Chief"
There also it was discovered that
The Chief" had unusual scouting
abilities-both hereditary and ac-
quired.
He was assigned as battalion
scout That's when he smiled the
first time. Chief Ross is hardly a
model soldier. He hardly ever sa-
lutes an officer and says Ugh" for
Yes, sir" and shakes his head for
mo. sir" Although he has a fair
command of English, he talks very
little. Once only he was detected
saluting an officer; that was when
he had gone to the officer three
times to ask for a leave pass. The
third time he saluted.
But The Chief wipedj out all the
little black marks for sins of omis-
sion in the lighting up on the Vesle.

building about 200 yards in front Of
the Americans was holding up the

Crowd a Polite One.

On the whole the crowd was a re-
markably polite one. There were no
fights over favored candidates for the
police to quell or arguments as to the
outcome of the election. Though the
throng was the largest that has been
on the street in many months the
police detailed to keep order along
the avenue had little trouble in per
suading the people to stay off the
car tracks and behave themselves gen
orally.
1t is the belief of the police authort-
ties that the absence of liquor was
partially responsible for the orderl-
ness of the crowd. Then. too, the
greater part Of thc throng seemed %
realize that more than an el@cdoh
was in the air, a general attitude OF
listening for more serious news
marked the entire crowd.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-Amerca felt the wars pinch perhaps for the first time when houeands of indus tries were stopped at midnight under the ue Admins rratons oders despite the protests predicting disastrous consequences and the formal request from the Senate ot the United States to stay execution temporarily.
 Fuel Administrator Garfield signed the order last night and signed it with the full consent and approval of President Wilson.
 The President stated that he did not intend to inter fere and said that he believed that the people of the United States will shortly be convinced if they not now that the order is necessary All principal munition plants were not included the order suspend for five days ow ing to the fuel shortage
 At 53O o'clock yesterday afternoon the resolution of Senator Hitchcock requesting the fuel administration to suspend for five days the coal conservation orders closing down industries east of the Mississippi river was adopted by the Senate by vote of 50 to 19 The resolution did not require any action by the House. The fuel order was signed by Garfield at o'clock
 When Congress assembled this forenoon attacks on the fuel restriction burst forth in the Senate the members of which are resentu because the fuel admins tration ignored the resolution for five days delay Sen ator described themselves ina state of mpoent ndigna ton Senator Smith of Michigan declared that the Sen ate should clip the wings of those who seek such authority which was never intended to be given Representative Snvder of New York said that President Wilson made fatal mistake in permitting Administrator Garfield to ls-
 sue the order which meant utter chaos want and suffer ing.
 Other representatives came immediately to the de- ense of the President and said that he had shown spen- did guiding hand so far and if the Senators and disgunt led representatives would stop chewing the rag on things they knew nothing about it would be better for the coun try.
