RIVER IS CROSSED
 BY ROAD 28 TIMES
(NcW York Times)

Asia Minor has it's River Meander. South America its River or Doubt, and now Nevada comes to the fore with the Humboldt river-for it's width and length, the crookedest river in the world.
 The Humboldt flows southeasterly through the central part of Nevada, vending it's devious and irrational way over desert sands from a place whose origin is not yet charted to end itself suicidally in huge hole in the desert The Nevada natives know it by va rious names, among them the "Lo- coed" river, and with good reason, for the cratic stream turns, twists and corkscrews it's path in 8 manner be- yond comprehension, or explanation. At one place in it's flow, between points two and a half miles apart, it pursues tortuous existence of eight miles, during which it's course is alternately north twenty-five times, east eighteen times, south thirty times and west forty-one times.
 Every time it takes one of these radical twists it seems to try to run back and touch itself; at thirty-three different places it is within 150 feet of itself, or less. And at all these points it presents the spectacle of the same river flowing in opposite direc- tions 150 feet apart. The Southern Pacific railroad crosses it twenty eight times.

FUR
 LABOR HALTED ON
 GOVERNMENT WORK
Republican A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Measures to check competition for labor be- tween the war industries and gov ernment agencies have been taken by the department of labor. This was announced today after delega- tlon Of Virginia truck growers had called on Assistant Secretary Post with protest that the farmers would lose a million bushels of potatoes this year if the enticement of farm labor CTS by industrial concerns continued
 The delegation was told that the department already had directed the cancellation of extravagant advertise ments for men, which he considered detrimental to the governments war program.
 Mobilization of shipyard workers, q department statement said, has been placed entirely in the hands of the employment service by the shipping board. Independent recruiting by the board the individual plants will be discontinued to permit a concentra- ton Of effort which will eliminate in a national ship builders registration week, February Il.
 Confusion and suffering are said to have resulted from careless state ments as to shipyard needs, attract Ing many men to places where an ample supply of workers already was gathered.
 Published statements of the num- Der of men who will be wanted have been misinterpreted," said the state ment, "as meaning that great num- bers are wanted now, whereas they are wanted only in limited quantities and of particular types at any one time. Men should stick to their jobs until the department tells them that there is a shipbuilding position wait ing and what the wages and housing conditions are.
 By registering in the public re- serve men can be assured that they will be told when they will be wanted. The reserve now is enlisting men willing to serve on railroad, munition plants and in the divisions of the army which require skilled me- chanics
 Employers of labor, even in so- called unessential industries, will be i helped by the success of the regis l tration which will make it possible i for the department of labor to make a fair distribution of all calls for men, and to minimize and equilize 1 ally LII eilt< OIl WHICH results from unregulated competition for men between war industries and dif- ! ferent branches of the government. Labor is in entire sympathy with the creation of this reserve because it will help to prevent the great hardships which fall upon working men who have no certain way of knowing whether or where there may be employment for them''
 It was estimated that between now and August 400 900 men will be need ed for shipbuilding. Many times this number of voluntary workers are ex- pected to be enrolled registration week.
 An appeal to President Wilson to | speed up governmental machinery in aid of production so as to relieve the anxiety of farmers as to labor supply, credit facilities and seed shortage, was made today in a me morial from the federal board o1 farm organizations in behalf of more than 2,000,000 organized farmers.

ready have preference over all other classes of freight, he pointed out.
 MT. McAdoo promised, however. to study closely Dr. Garfield's figures showing how coal production had been curtailed in recent weeks, and to take whatever action seemed best. Mean while he and Dr. Garfield set about devising scheme by which fuel will be transported from mines to consum- CTS over the shortes. possible routes. By this means, it is planned to save many thousand miles of needless haul ing and devote locomotives and labor, thus conserved to transporting greater quantities to regions where the coal shortage threatens to become more acute.
 A committee of two officials from the railroad and the fuel administra- tions will work out a plan, which may be based on division of the east in- to districts, each of which is to get it's coal from a specially designated mining area. Howard Elliott, presi- dent of the New Haven, and A. G. Gutheim, an official of the interstate commerce commissions car service bureau, will represent the railroad ad- ministration on this committee.
 NEW METHOD HANDLING
 COAL MUST BE FOUND
 The necessity for some new method of dealing with the coal transportation problem was emphasized by scores of reports that weather conditions were as bad or worse than at any time since the unprecedented period of cold and stormy weather started two weeks ago. Heavy snow throughout New York and New England, in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and elsewhere. made traffic movement extremely slow, and cut the supply of empty ca1s to coal mines far below even the late sub- normal supply.
 The bright phase of the situation vas report of Fuel Administrator Garfield that ships were being bunkered more rapidly than last week and that coal was going in sufficient quantities to domestic consumers These were the main purposes of the industrial curtailment order of five consequently the result of the indus trial suspension was satisfactory. pr. Garfield Summarizes
 In q statement summarizing the results of his fuel curtailment order, Dr. Garfield said
 Our reports show that the prime purposes sought to be accomplished ! by the regulation, the bunkering .of ships and the supplying of domestic | consumers and public utilities with coal. have been greatly served
 Local officials of the fuel admin | istration in all parts of the east, re- 1 ported that consumers, on l the preferred list in the industrial 1 curtaiment order were being given
 the full benefit of the coal moving l into the consuming territory.
 As a result of the patriotic CO., l operation of American industry, capi- | tai and labor the way has been
 cleared for the prompt bunkering of ships which long were tied up at At 1 lantic ports, waiting to carry vitally
 needed supplies to the American | forces abroad and to the nations as-
 sociated with the United States in | the war"
 l Fuel Administration officials called ] attention to the fact that coal will continue first to household users.

 The record of the investigation to date was hastily completed today to be furnished to senators in readiness for Thursdays debate. Late in the day Senator Chamberlain included in the record a statement furnished by the war department showing short ages of equipment of national guard and national army cantonments on January l.
 Prompted by President Wilson's statement last night, the ordnaLcc bureau on the war department has embarked upon a new publicity pol icy. While no official statement was available, it was indicated that wher- ever military necessity does not de- mand suppression of facts and fig ures, full information as to what the bureau is doing or has done will be i given to the press.

PERSH|NC DENIES
 ACCUSATION AIMED AT TROOPS MORALS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-There nev- CT has been a similar body of men tc lead as clean lives as the American sol. diers in France, General Pershing said in cablesram todayto Secretary Bai- CT in reply to inquiries as to the truth of reports of immodeTate drinking among the men.
 General Pershingq's message was made public by MT. Baker in his letter to Governor Capper of Kansas:
 You may recall writing to me sev- eral days ago concerning persistent reports as to the immoderate sale of liquor among our forces in France. My impression was that these rumors were not well founded in fact; but I felt it my duty to convey their contents to General Pershing. and to ask him to communicate with me as to the facts. You will be glad to know that I have just received the following words from the commander of the American eXpe- ditionary forces:
 There has never been a similar body of men to lead as clean lives as our American soldiers in France. They have entered this war with the highest devotion to duty and with no other idea than to perform these duties in the most efficient manner possible. They fully realize their obligation to their own people, their friends and the country.
 A rigid program of instruction is carried out daily with traditional American enthusiasm. Engaged in healthy, interesting exercises in the open air with simple diets, officers and men alike trained athletes are ready for their task. Forbidden the use of strong drink and nr0tectcd h.- Stri,rapt regulations against sexual evils, and supported by their own moral courage their good behavior is the subject of most favorable comments, especially by our allies.
 American mothers may rest as- sured that their sons are credis to them and to the nation, and they may well look forward to the proud day when qn the battlefield these splendid men will shed new lustre on Ameri- can manhood "

DEFINITE POLICY SOUGHT BY SILVER
 LEADERS IF WEST
(RepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

DENVER,>e Jan. 22.-Efforts to unite the silver producers of the west behind definite policy in regard to government regulation and the excess profits tax took definite form today at the opening session of the fifth annual joint convention of the Colo rad Metal Mining association and the Colorado Chapter of the American Mining congress. Committees were appointed to confer with silver pro- ducers from other states, here to at tend the convention, and determine a plan of action.
 The silver men are particularly anxious to have congress amend the excess profits tax law, which they contend works a hardship upon the mining industry The committee is expected to outline aH amendment satisfactory to the industry, which will be presented by the two organ izations, backed by silver men of the west, for consideration of congress.
 George M. Taylor of Colorado Springs was reelected president of the Metal Mining association today. George W. Argall of Leadville, and R. Nj. Henderson of Breckenridge were reelected first and second vice presidents, respectively; E. N. Funs- ton of Denver was elected third vice president. M. B. Tomblin of Denver, secretary, and A M. Collins, Creede, treasurer, were reelected.
 Tonight a public meeting was held at which Senator Key Pittman of Nevada spoke on the Walsh -Pittman coal and oil land leasing bill and Senator John B. Kendrick of Wy oming discussed the silver question.
 Senator Kendrick also spoke in support of the Walsh-P -Pittman bill and praised Senator Pittman for his efforts in getting the measure ap- proved by the senate. He cautioned the oil men that they would be un- able to get everything they wanted, and advised them to be satisfied with the Walsh -Pittman bill and bend every effort to obtain it's passage by the house. The Wyoming senator encouraged the work of the mining mems organizations in getting legis- lation. Any kind of an organization makes an impression on congress, he said.

KORR|CK ANNUAL
 GREAT SUCCESS

Not since Korrick's Benevolent sO- ciety was organized about four years ago has that organiZs ton held a more enjoyable gathering than that of last evening at the Arizona School of Music when more than 150 members of the society and invited guests participated m the annual social gathering and ball it was an occasion when heads of de- partments, employees and even the owner of the big store, met in a truly happy spirit and entered fully into the spirit of the occasion
 Patriotism held an important place on the program. The affair was in augurated with the calling to the front of the stage where the orchestra was stationed, of the big assemblage. And then while the strains of The Star Spangled Banner" drifted through the auditorium, great American flag swung from the ceiling over all, while the korriCk service flag, with it's star for Abe Korrick, the absent member of the firm, appeared over the pros ccnium. And then partners were chosen and the evenings dance pro- gram began. For those who did not care to dance, tables were provided for cards.
 Cahrles Korrick, head of the big mousse, was present, mlnSllng freely with his employees and their guests. He seemed to be the happiest, merriest of the party.
 Korrick's Benevolent society was or ganized for the purpose of aiding the individual members, composed exclu- sively of Korrick employees and for the further purpose of bringing about closer relations and heartier co-opera- ton. The officers are: E. $. Yarwood president; W. T. Chalmers, -presi- dent; Miss Dora Reed, secretary; Al fred Duran. treasurer; Miss Hill and Mrs. Walker, social committee.

 Administrator Disappointed
 It was evident that the fuel ad- ministration was disappointed in that the order did not relieve railroad congestion as much as hoped for. Weather conditions were blamed for this but it was clear also that fuel administration officials felt that general embargo against the receipt of freight during the fiveday closing period would have helped materially in this respect.
 During the last A hours the tenn perature has ranged from 20 below in Ohio, to from below to F above in the Pitisburg districts; four below in Central Pennsylvania; 15 above al St. Louis and Chicago; 22 above al Buffalo, and 10 to 21 above in New York and New England
 The movement into New England yesterday was about 2,200 cars, an increase of 200 over the preceding day At Chicago the yards are slow ly being cleared of snow. but they had not yet recovered from the ef- fects of the cumulative storms of the last ten days.
 PerishsbIes Moving
 Dressed beef, livestock and perish ables were moving east freely, and the delivery of box cars to western roads was reported increasing. Yes terday 2,70O cars of coal, 20 per cent less than normal. were received at Chicago. In Ohio and Indiana trail.s moved with light tonnage, the move ment being about 50 per cent of nor nal. At Pittsburg there has been reduction in the accumulation of ,astbound freight but movement still $ slow.
 Everywhere, according to reports, the shortage of labor was becoming more pronounced, men refusing to work when the weather is so cold.
 Director General McAdoo an nounced during the day that about seven new engines are being delivered daily to eastern lines by manufac-
 urers, and that this number will be doubled in a few weeks.
 A number of passenger trains were temporarily withdrawn from service by individual railroads, but the action was not general or under orders oi the railroad administration. The di- rector general explained that the gen. eral movement to cut down unnec- essary sleeping car service was not intended to cripple traffic to the Pacific coast.
