CONTINUE MONDAY CLOSING
Danger of Widespread Suffering Pre-
vents Order From Being
Revoked.

Washington.-Danger of widespread
suffering from lack Of coal still is inn
minent, Fuel Administration officials
declared in announcing officially the
continuance of the Monday closing
order. State Fuel Administrators
have reported that thousands of homes
in New York and other cities of the
East and Middle West have n, coal.
and can not get it in sufficient quanti-
ties to make living conditions beara-
BILE This situation, coupled with rail-
road administration reports that
freight and coal movement was almost
at a standstill in the East, prompted
Fuel Administrator Garfield to an
neunce that the possibility of human
suffering is too imminent to permit
any relaxation in the present efforts
to conserve and increase the existing
supply of coal.

BIG CUNARD LINER SUNK
Was Used as Transport for American
Troops, Having on Board
2,1o7 Soldiers.

Washington.-Hi by torpedo, the
Canard liner Tuscania, with 2,l79
American troops aboard, has gone
down off the Irish coast. According
to dispatch from the American EN-
bassy at London, 2,079 officers and
men have been accounted for. Survl-
vors have been landed at two widely
separated Irish ports. News OF the
first great disaster to the armed
forces of the United States came in
brief dispatch to the War Department
from London. The War Department
announced that its records showed the
following were on board the Tuscania:
Headquarters detachment and Com
panies D, and F of the Twentieth
Engineers; One Hundred and Seventh
Engineer train; One Hundred and Sew
enth Military Police; One Hundred
and Seventh Supply Train; No. 100
Aero Squadron; One Hundred and
Fifty-eighth Aero Squadron; Two Hun
Gred and Thirteenth Aero Squadron;
Replacement Detachments Nos / and Z
of the Thirty-second Division; Fifty
one casual officers.
The first LOO survivors were landed
at Larne and Buncranna, two widely
separated Irish ports, and this, cou-
pied with the evident fact that rescue
ships were at hand, quickly gave rise
to hope that nearly everybody on
board the Tuscania except those in
jured by the explosion might have
been saved. Only the briefest dis
patches were received and none gave
details of the attack on the liner.

AUTHORITIES DECLINE
TO WISE CUSTOM PASSES
Nieuw Amsterdam First Neutral
Steamer to Be Thoroughly Ex-

An Att tic Port.-For the first time
In the history of this port spy
search on board an arriving passen-
ger ship in transatlantic service was
conducted when the Nieuw Amster-
dam, of the Holland-American line,
reached her dock here. Federal au-
thorities in charge declined to recog-
nize customs and barred zone passes
at the pier and an examination was
begun of passengers and baggage.
Agents of the Department of Justice
and the Treasury Department met the
vessel down the bay. The ship was the
first neutral one to arrive in America
since the European war started that
had not been subjected to search
either at Halifax or at Kirkwall.

mails are conscious Of their deceit, as
is shown by the fact that they try to
act secretly and noiselessly; they show
a sense of guilt if detected; they take
precautions in advance to arouse dis
covery; In some cases they manifest
regret and repentance. Thus, bees
which steal hesitate often before and
after their exploits, as If they feared
punishment.

FOOD and FUEL
NEEDED CHIEFLY
SUPPLIES FOR HOLLAND CUT OFF
THROUGH LACK OF SHIPS, SAYS
AUGUSTUS PHILLIPS.
Hollands New Minister to the United
States Declared Food Prices Have
Doubled in Recent Months-indus-
tries Closing Down for Lack OF Fuel.

An Atlantic Port,-Ships for Holland
are needed imperatively, Augustus
Phillips, Hollands new Minister to the
United States, said upon his arrival
here on the Dutch steamship Nieuw
Amsterdam. He declared one CT the
important aims of his diplomatic du-
ties would be consummation Of ar
rangemnts which would enable Hol-
land to obtain more shipping, as lack
of this had cut off supplies from the
outside world to an extent so alarming
that industries we're closing down all
over his country.
Food and fuel are needed chiefly,
Mr.. Phillips said, not only for the
Dutch people, but for the hundreds OF
thousands of French and Belgian refu-
gees and the interned war prisoners
OF English and German nationality.
Food prices have doubled in recent
months, he declared. Mr.. Phillips esti-
mated that about 20 or 80 Dutch YES
sells. aggregating 100000 tons, were on
the American side of the Atlantic. The
Neuw Amsterdam was the first Dutch
ship to cross the ocean from Holland
in many weeks. II shall try to make
the relations between my country and
the United States as friendly and as
amiable as possible" the Minister
said.

GAINS MANY NEW MEMBERS
Red Cross Adds Approximately 1890
600 in the Recent Big
Drive.

Washington, D. C.-Figures now
available on the Red Cross Christmas
membership drive show total enroll
ment of 23,475,C00, or % per cent OF
the population of the United States.
OF this total the Red Cross had
about 100000 members before the
Christmas drive started, so that the
gains from the drive was approximate
ly 17,500,GO0 new members. The CEN
trail division, of which Chicago is the
headquarters, leads the other twelve
divisions of the country in the number
of new members enrolled Christmas
week.
By divisions, the gains were as fol-
lows: Atlantic, 100000; Central, 81
soc, 600; Gulf, $4,000; Lake, 100000;
Mountain, 276,000; New England,
$4,000; Northern, 65S,000; North
western, $4,000; Pacific, $4,000;
Pennsylvania, 1900, GOO; Potomac, $780,
600; Southern, 10000; Southwestern
3,250,00O.
From the fourteenth division COM
prising all of the territorial insular
and foreign possessions of the United
States the new members added num-
bered $4,000.
Unprecedentedly unfavorable wealth
er prevailed during the drive so that
the showing is considered exception
ally good. Final figures are not ex'
pected to change the foregoing esti-
mates to any considerable extent.
One of the chief benefits anticipated
from the enlarged membership is the
addition of thousands Of active work
ers to Red Cross chapters where sup.
plies are being prepared for our army
and navy and the military forces and
civilian population of the allies.
