rRepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Embar- goes which have been put into effect against the acceptance of new freight by several railroads were declared to- night by Director General McAdoo to be entirely local in character and not indicative of any proposed general pro- hibition against shipment of goods oth- CT than fuel, food and war supplies.
 Local questions are entirely in the hands of divisional representatives of the railroad administration" he said, and doubtless they took action be- cause of temporary conditions, which do not exist generally"

 We are concentrating on getting empties to the mines and movement oi coal out" said MT. Smiths report "also movement of foodstuffs east oi Chicago, which must be kept up.'
 At the beginning of the day, the railroad administration had to compete with blizzard conditions which recalled the unparalleled weather of severa days ago. The temperature was 3 degrees below zero in sections of Penn. sylvania, 20 below in northern New York and 15 below in Ohio. Ice in the yards delayed switching, the labol available to pick it out not being suf- ficient for the tremendous job.

DENYING, N. M., Jan. 21.-Thirty- five per cent of the sickness in the Thirty fourth division of the army at Camp Cody, here, could have been pre- vented if only physically able men had been accepted into the army, Major B.

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

The crisis in Austria, arising from discontent of people over continuation of the war, to food scarcity and a general desire for peace, has resulted in the resignation of the Austrian cabinet.
 For weeks there has been bitter op- position to the government by the people and during the last few days this has resulted in nation-wid strikes and some disturbances.
 Internal strife in Austria, apparently due to war-weariness, high cost of living and dislocation generally of economic life, continues interesting. Although the exact situation resulting from the trouhlous times is not given in available details. despatches that have crept through are indicative of a situation that will require skillful handling to bring the populace into a state of tractability.
 No newspapers in Vienna were per- mitted last Saturday. The only pub lication allowed was a single sheet bulletin, which told some details. As usual the hand of the German propa- gandists was to be seen in this one sheetxpublication.
 Evidently, however, these statements failed to placate the strikers in Vien- na, who sent a large delegation to wait upon the food minister to inform him of conditions among the working classes and to impress on him that their desire for peace took precedence over all other demands.
 l. In Hungary, also, the people are en- deavorlng to ascertain what are the prospects for cessation of hostilities. | The Hungarian premier has been forced to announce in parliament that the government adhered to the princi- pie of peace without annexations or indemnities-that even the king shared in this view. The premier, however, added that the question of, Alsace- Lorraine should not at the present time enter into the situation, as it was not calculated to strengthen the gov ernment's position.
 The censorship has closed down on the internal situation in Germany, al- though a Berlin newspaper is quoted as declaring that the oft postponed speech of the imperial chancellor to the reichstag will be delivered Thurs day. The debate is expected to extend over three days.
 Unofficial advices from Copenahgen are that Leon Trotzky, Belshevik for eign minister, has asserted that all though he has departed for Petrograd, peace negotiations at Brest- -Litovsk would continue. Trotzky is reported to have informed the chief German delegate at BrestLitovsk that his visit to Petrograd was to report to the con- gress of workmen's and soldiers deputies.
 No fighting of great importance is taking place on any of the fronts.

REVO[UT|OMST IN
 CHINA FIRE UPON AMERICAN GUNBOA7
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PEKING, Jan. Is F'riday). - The American gunboat Monocacy was fired upon by the Chinese fifty miles above Yochow, on the Yang-Tse Kiang yes terday. A sailor named O'Bfien was killed and two other sailors were wounded. The firing lasted for half an hour. It is presumed that the as- sailants were a detachment of the southern revolutionary forces.
 The reason for the attack and de- tails of it have not yet been received pr. Paul $. Reinsch. the American minister, will demand of the foreign office that responsibility for.the attack be fixed and the offenders punished and also that measures shall be taker to safeguard shipping. Dr. Reinscf does not believe that the attack indi- cates an anti-foreign feeling but rather that it was intended to bring up complications for the central gov ernment.

REORGANIZATTO FOR WAR CONTROL; INVESTIGATION
 BY CONGRESS, ARE OPPOSED
President Defe,ns11 ,4Secretary Baker

Nothing helpful or likely to speed or facilitate sne war tasks of the government has come out of such criticism and investigation. ] understand that congratulations by legislation are to be proposed- | have not been consulted about them and have learned of them only at second hand-but their proposal came a:ter effective measures of reorganization had been thoughtfulIy and matureIy perfected, and inasmuch as these measures have been the result of experience, they are much more likely than any other to be effect i've, if the congress will but remove the few statutory obstacles of rigid departmental organization which stand in their way.
 The legislative proposals have heard of wousd involve Iona additional delays and turn our ex- perience into mere lost motion. My association and constant con ference with the secretary of war have taught me to regard him as one of the ablest public officials l have ever known. The country will soon learn whether he or his critics understand the business in hand.
 " To add, as Senator Chamber lain did, that there is inefficiency in every department and bureau of the government is to show such ignorance of actual conditions as to make it impossible to attach any importance to his statement.
 am bound to infer that that statement sprang out of opposition to the administration's whole pol icy rather than out of any serious intention to reform its practice v

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The presidents statement follows:
 When the presidents attention was called to the speech made by Senator Chamberlain at a luncheon in New York on Saturday, he i'm mediately enquired of Senator Chamberlain whether he had been correctly reported and upon ascer- taining from the senator. that he had been the president felt it his duty to make the following state ment:
 Senator Chamberlain's state ment as to the presen. inaction and ineffectiveness of t.e government is an astonishing and absolutely unjustifiable distortion Of the truth. As matter of fact, the war department has performed task of unparalleled magnitude and diff ficuIty with extraordinary prompt ness and efficiency. There have been delays and disappointments and partial miscarriages of plans, all of which have been drawn into the foreground arG exaggerated by the investigations which have been in progress since the con gross assembled - investigations which drew indispensable officials of the departments constantly away from their work and officers from their commands and contrib uted a great deal to such delay and confusion as had inevitably arisen. But by comparison with what has been accomplished, these things much as they were to be regretted were insignificant, and no mistake has been made which has been repeated.

GARFIELD STATES FACTORY CLOSING
 |S GREAT SUCCESS
Republican A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Two of the chief accomplishments sought oy the government in closing down industry by cutting off fuel supplies nave been achieved, Fuel Adminis- trator Garfield announced tonight.
 Homes throughout the east. he said, are receiving coal in larger quantities than has been reported for weeks and bunker coal is nov ing to seaboard in sufficient volume to supply shipping.
 A third aim-the clearing of rail- road congestion-ias not been at- tained as yet, largely, Dr. Garfield declared. because of unusual weather conditions.
 The first of the ten Monday holi- days was observed generally and business everywhere in the eas, was at a standstill. Few violations of the order were reported.
 Tomorrow will be the last of the five-day shutdown of manufacturing plants.
 Reports tonight said New York had on hand enough coal to fill the bunkers of 50 vessels, and Hampton Roads had received supplies suf- ficient for the more than 100 ships held in port.
 We are supplying coal to the piers" said Dr. Garfield. '1t now (Continued on Page Three)

GLOBE, Jan. 21.- Following the sending of a number of blackhand let ters to local merchants demanding money under penalty of having their places of business cynamited, Police Chief Pinyan and Sheriff Arrner to- night arrested Frank Tuftin, a recent arrival from Deming.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-Smoulder- ing fires of partisan feeling were set abalze in the senate today by Senator Stone, veteran democrat, with a long prepared speech accusing republicans of playing politics in their criticism of the governments conduct of the war and calling Theodore Roosevelt the most seditious man of consequence in America"
 There had been plenty of advance notice of the speech, which administra- ton leaders sought vainly to induce the Missouri senator to abandon or post pOne. The senate galleries were crowded, and republican spokesmen Were waiting with replies. There were many sharp interruptions during the two hours Senator Stone was speak ing and when he closed Senators Pen rose, Lodge, New and others on the re- publican side answered with vigorous defense of their right to make proper criticism of inefficiencies and with counter charges of partisanship.
 Senator Lewis, Kirby and other dem- Ocrats joined in the fray, which lasted until the session ended tonight with ad- journment until Thursday. It was sug- gested in the Hobbies that the two day recess was arranged in the hope that both sides would cool off and permit the controversy to be dropped. Many senators who did not take the floor today were busy with notes, however, and doubt is generally expressed that another outbreak can be prevented. Senator Johnson of California was par ticularly busy with his pencil when Senator Stone attacked Colonel Roose- wolf

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 21.-The Aus trian ministry has resigned, according to a Vienna dispatch to the Berliner Morgen Post. Count von Toggenburg, minister of the interior, has been charged with the task of forming a new cabinet.
 The brief Vienna dispatch does not make it absolutely clear which of the ministries has resigned, the imperial ministry, of which Count Czernin is the head, holding the portfolio of min- ister of foreign affairs, or the minor body of which Dr. von Seydler is pres ident But the fact that Count von Toggenburg, who held the post of min ister of the interior in the von Seydler cabinet has been asked to organize a new ministry, would indicate that it is the latter
 Recent dispatches from Vienna re- ported a crisis in the Austrian cabinet, Dr. von Seydler, being opposed not only by the Czechs and the south states but also by the socialists, while the German deputies also were hostile ow- ing to von Seydlers weak attitude.

 Senator Stone delivered his attack in characteristically vehement fashion. He strode the middle aisle, shouting, menacing with clenched fist or wagging finger at his political opponents on the ether side.
 Senator Penrose in his reply con- ceded his desire to oust the democrats from control of the government, de- claring a more efficient administration would thus be secured.
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts spoke more seriously. He deplored in- jection of politics into the war, defend- ed Colonel Roosevelt declaring that the republicans have given and will continue to give their support to the administration toward winning the war. but will continue criticisms of mistakes and inefficiency.
