WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Caught N
the whirlpool OF business confusion and
dismay, Fuel Administrator Garfield to-
day sought TO draft an tntelligible order
that Will suspend industrial activity
east Of the Mississippi for hve days be-
ginning at midnight.
Demands for postponernent of the or
der ere nado IN congress resolutions in
introduced today. Garfield himself was
summoned before tho senate coal prob
ers TO explain his action.
And behind it all today stands the Of
hciauy admitted fact that Garheld may
rot have the legal power to enforce reg
ultions Throughout the morning Gar
field consulted with legal advisors and
members OF congress. At every hand he
faced the declaration that he has not
the needed authority 70 go through with
hts program.
The war government, operating IN tho
greatest confusion, was showed under
with Inquiries from every state in the
nation as TO the applicability of the or
der.
The fuel administration was ia a tux-
Inoil. utterly unable to answer tho eues-
ticn5 fred at Il from every source. Some
questions vrero answered differently two
CT three times, leaving many districts
utterly confused as to how to proceed.

= This was the FIRST time that drastic
action had to be taken by the county
fuel administrator TO save coal for the

in sight that DR.. Henry jameson, fuel

predict. There is no coal insight to

AS far as could be learned. the order
was obeyed by everybody, although
some persons wondered how some Of
the saloons could close up even under
such an order. Some Of the saloons
have been open day and night for years.

NAVY WILL NEED
 100000 MEN
 FOR NEXT YEAR
Will Take Places of Men Enlisted for the War Now
 Being Discharged.
PERMANENT FORGE
 OF 35O,OOO NEEDED
Appropriation of $12,OOO,O 900 Asked For Recruiting
 Expenses.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Two hundred thousand men must be recruited for the navy next year to take the places of men enlisted for the war, who will be demobilized. Captain H. Laning, chief of the bureau Of navigation, made this estimate today in asking the House naval affairs committee for an appropriation of S12,000,000 to cover transportation and recruiting expenses.
 After July l, next, 350,000 men will be needed in the regular naval force to man the naval and shipping board vessels, Captain Laning told the com- mtttee. The regular navy at present has 215,0 ,00O men ana 1855, 900 of these enlisted since the war began, 120, 900 for four years and 45,000 for the dur ation of the war. More than sixty per cent of the war recruits have ask ed to be discharged, Captain Laning said, and the navy is in honor bound to release them.
 ''The navy has made no promises to release the men who enlisted for four years" he added, "but all understood they would not be held after the war ended. Unless they are released, the navy will be made up of discontented men and it's efficiency will be low cred"
 In addition, it was explained as soon as peace terms are signed the naval reserve force, numbering 290,O00 men, must be placed on inactive duty.

NO LEGAL METHOD FOR SURRENDER Ebert Says No Provision in Law For Seizure of
 Fix Emperor.

London, Dec. 17-(British Wireless ervice)-Friedrich Ebert, Socialist premier of Germany, declared in an interview yesterday that he did not know of any legal method by which William Hohenzollern's surrender could be forced.
 'I cannot think of any provision in law upon which the former emperor would have to be given up,' he said. "But that is not a question which closely concerns us. We have separat- ed ourselves from him and now desire only that guilt for the outbreak of the war should be finally fixed in order that he may be exposed, once for all
 As to his view of the future, Ebert said: 'I am optimistic, but you must remember that our influence upon the course of events is limited. We can not create bread for the German peo- pie. If the nation is allowed to starvG then the inevitable will follow. Ina a, nation can be brought to a desperate pass and burst through all restraint: has been shown by the experiences ot the past year. Our old system came to the ground as a result QT Rus&ar events which it, itself, provoked. l is poor consolation, however that, il falling, one drags ones enemy to thu ground. To us any other solution would be preferable"

MANY PRECEDENTS |. FOR PUNISHMENT

London, Dec. Responsibility for punishing the former German en- peror and other high German officials for crimes committed during the war must rest with governments and not with jurists, according to the Marquis of Crewe, former secretary of state for the colonies, in a letter published in the Westminster Gazette. He writes:
 ''The atrocities in Belgium, the ill., treatment of prisoners, and the ex- cautions of Captain Fryatt and Miss Edith Cavell are acts that can be brought home to the individual per- sons concerned, and punishment can be inflicted by tribunals. When, how ever, we go beyond these persons, re- ] sponsibiltty is altered. The former German emperor and the higher Ger man politicians must be surrendered i first and then punished by executive acts. For this procedure there are
 most ample precedents. These crim-
 inals can be put away where they
 will have no further chance of bring
 ing mischief on the world, or they car be executed"

Before leaving the prison they attempted to tear it down, and while they were thus engaged were fired upon by German sentries.

.PENROSE URGES PROMPT ACTION
 ON REVENUE BILL
Favors Abolishing War Fix cess Profits Taxes and
 Early Passage.
WILL REMEDY
 DETECTS LATER
Measure Has Received More Careful Thought Than
 Any Previously Drawn.

Washington, Dec. 17.---Prompt pas sage of the war revenue bill was urged in the Senate today by Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, senior mem Der of the finance committee.
 Senator Penrose gave his views when the senate reached the income ton of rates in 1920. Chairman Sim mons, of the finance committee, in charge of theb ill, had normally an nounced that every effort would be made to reach a final vote on the measure before the holidays.
 Although strongly dissenting from the provision for 1920 taxes, Senator Penrose urged early passage of the bill with a view to revision later. He favored abolishing war excess profits taxes and substitution of new sys- tenn of fiat income taxes.
 Tt is because the bill is essentially a war measure" he said, that I am willing to support it, although dis senting from the special 1920 pro- visions It has received more careful thought by far than any previous in- ternal revenue measure in this coun- try It is more clearly and consistent ly drafted and supplied with wiser administrative provisions than any other measure.
 T cannot disguise the fact that ] feel anxious as to the effect upon the public of the attempt to apply such | higher rates off, income and profits i taxes as are provided. I am also con- vinced that the great body of intelli- ! gent and patriotic business men and 1 taxpayers throughout the land are willing to accept these rates and de- l sire the measure passed.
 l Undoubtedly many defects will
 have to be provided for by remedial | legislation in the future. It seems however, to be the best that can be
 had at the present time and it is
 unquestionably better than arJ pre- 1 ceding law. It is to be earnestly
 hoped that the bill will be passed promptly"
 The bills rates, Senator Penrose
 said, reach the limit of endurance and only are entitled to support as
 war emergency. He added that tax
 reductions as government require
 ments shrink during demobilizatior
 and reconstruction, are certain in the | future.
