UNIVERSITY ADDS
 TO RED CROSS WORK

Fayetteville, Jan. 22.-A large in- crease in the output of Red Cross supplies by young women students in the University of Arkansas will come as result of the action of the department of home economies in turning over all its rooms and sewing machines for the use of the Red Cross at all hours of the week when not used for class room purposes. Mrs. Martin Nelson, who has had exper' fence in supervising Red Cross work among the women of Fayetteville, and Mrs. Hoeltzel, who has been engaged in supervisory work in Little Rock, have agreed to oversee the work of the university women.
 In response to an inquiry made by the young women of the University, the Red Cross officials at Washington stated that the University workers are in the best position to make surgical dressings since that work requires careful supervision. Many young women who are now in the university expect to go out over the state in vacation and supervise the making of surgical dressings.

WILSON SAYS WAR

Nne oi Great Accomplishments, Says President GhaMhcrlain'> s committee Will Show Shortage of Supplies
 and Other Deficiencies.

WaShin@ton. Jan 22-Ncither tho aggressive opposition of President Wilson nor the apparent certainty that their measure would have no chance in the houSe-rven if passed by the senate is halting t}.c campaign of the advocates in congress of bills to establish d war cabinet and a dircc- tor of munitions. When the senate reconyenes Thursday, according to plans made by Chairman Chamberlain and his associates on the military committee behind the legislation, the contest will be opened. They pro- pose with a motion to refer the war cabinet bill to the military commit tee as the vehicle of debate to open discussion of the merits of their war machinery oraanization program, and Senator Chamberlain expects to reply to the statement issued by President Wilson last night criticising him for his Kew York speech, in which the Oregon senator said the military es- tablishment had broken down."
 Says War Record Coed.
 Administration leaders also con- ferred today at the capitol and plan ned to fight the Chamberlain Dlli and answer attacks upon the governments conduct of the war. The president ad- viSed his visitors that under the pres ent organization the war record of the government has been one of great accomplishment and would result in placing abroad by next June twice the number of Americans originally plan ned. Mistakes in such a gigantic task, he suggested, were to be expected.
 To meet the arguments of the ad- ministration spOkesmen, Senator Chamberlain and hi supporters are preparing to elaborate on the def iciecies in providing army supplies and equipment disclosed in the commit tees war inquiry. The record of the investigation to date was hastily com. 'pleted today, to be furnished to sena- tors in readiness for Thursdays de- bate.
 Late in the day Senator Chamber lain included in the record a state- ment furnished by the war depart ment, showing shortages of equipment in national guard and national army cantonments on January 1. In some instances shortages of overcoats woolen coats and wooden brooches were shown to range from 50 per cent fo @ per cent in different camps. Secretary Baker submitted with his report letters restricting certain statements made to the committed some time ago regarding sufficiency of clothing at Camp Sherman, Ohio Prompted by President Wilson's state ment last night the ordnance bureau of the war department has embarked upon a new publicity policy.

DR. GARFIELD ASKS EMBARGO 0N ALL BUT FOOD AND C0AL Fuel Administration Tells Railroad Director Situ-
 ation Is Serious. M'ADOO DISAPPROVES, BUT IS INVESTIGATING Says Railroad Control of Roads Has Enabled Them to Handle Necessities
 Fast as POssible-Opp0ses
 Further Restrictions.

Washington, Jan. 22.-An urgent recommendation that an embargo be declared for {: few days on acceptance by the railroads of any freight, except coal and food. was submitted to Dtrec- tor General MeAdoo tonight by the fuel administration. This action is imperative. Administrator Garfield said. to insure adequate movement of fuel during the balance of the week. when the general transportation sit uation east of the Mississippi threat ems to become worse daily, owing to the prolonged strain on railroads of deep snows and intensely cold weather.
 Tonight the five-day period of in dustrial suspension ended. and with the resumption of manufacturing to- morrow. railroad officials look for a new flood of traffic. which the rail- roads cannot handle until normal weather returns.
 McAdo0 Opposed.
 Director General McAdoo tonight was not inclined to look with favor on the embargo proposal. He held that under the government operation and consequent, pooling of facilities and short haul routing railroads would be able tc clear all freight offered for transportation without priority and without embargces. Coal and food al- ready have preference over all other classes of freight, he pointed out, and are being moved to tide water and to localities where domestic needs are greatest as fast as is physically pos sible.
 Will Study Situation.
 Mir. McAdoo promised, however, to study closely pr. Garfield's figures showing how coal production has been curtailed in recent weeks. and to take whatever action seemed best. Mean- while he and Dr. Garfield set about devising a scheme by which gross hauls Of coal will be eliminated large ly. and fuel will be transported from mines to consumers over the shortest possible route; by this means it is planned to save many thousands of miles of useless hauling and devote locomotives and labor thus conserved to transporting greater quantities to regions where the coal shortage threatens to become more acute.
 May Make Coal Districts.
 If blizzard weather continues for few days longer committee of two officials from the railroad and fuel administrations will work out a plan which may be based on division of the East into districts, each of which is to get it's coal mainly from designated mining area. The neces- sity for some new method of dealing with the coal transportation problem was emphasized today 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, nearly two weeks ago.
