SNEERS AT OUR ARMY
Semi Official Berlin Paper Speaks
 Contcmptuous1y of Force as "Wood Cutters, Railway Men and Doctors"

Cutters, Railway Men and Doctors."
 London, Jan. 1S.-Commenting on the statement made by Secretary Baker before a congressional commit tee regarding war preparations the semi mi-otficial Norddeutsch Allgeimine Zeitung of Berlin says:
 The American secretary of war speaks of an American army in France. There is an American army in France, but it consists entirely of wood cutters, railway men and doc tors, except two or three divisions whose precious lives are being spared in quiet places.
 MT. Baker speaks as if shortly there will be I,500,0OO Americans ill France. Can the United States spare such large number Of men? The answer Is no, because 8 large part of the army must remain behind for the protection of the frontiers, the coasts, the colonies, and for other duties of a political nature. The political situ- ation compels the United States to keep at home the greater portion or it's army and the country can at the most put only 10000 or 100000 men into the European battlchelds.'

The country is aghast,'' the Michi- gan senator shouted Our enemies must be jubiliant. Some united ac- ton should be taken to stay this blow so serious and far-reaching''
 Senator Hitchcock, democrat of Ne braska, author of the resolution ask ing five days suspension of the order, said he could not plan any further ac- ton in the senate for a, stay. He felt, that time for action by congress was insufficient.
 A letter from pr. Garfield dated to- day, received by Senator Smith of Georgia. stated that the ruling does not apply to newspapers or other in- dustries operated by the use of hydro- electric power.
 Attacks on the fuel restriction or der blazed up in the house. Repre- sentative Snyder of New York de- nouncing it, said the president had made a Hateful error in permitting MT. Garfield to issue the order which, he said, meant utter chaos, want and suffering in the country. Many men- bers took part in the discussion
 Instructions were sent to all local fuel administrators in the terFitDrs east of the Mississippi directing them to distribute to the preferential class of users described by the order all coal reaching their jurisdiction during the five-day period of industrial curtaii- ment.
 Federal grand juries in many dis1 tricts are Investigating complaints thad coal operators and wholesale and re l tail dealers have violated the govern ment's fixed prices
 Only a Smal proportion of actual cases under investigation have been reported to Washington but officials believe many indictments will be rel turned soon

 Beyond the direct food industries the fuel administration has agreed ts the exemption of binder twine factor ieS ammonia makers, inSecticide anS fertilizer manufacturers as being ne cesssary to maintain the constant flow of foodstuffs.
 Beyond this, again, the state food administrators have been authorized to determine for the state fuel adj ministrators any other industries, thd continuous conduct of which are esi sential to obtaining the uninterrupted flow of food"
 Food Administrator Hoover issued the following statement:
 '~Fhe Food Administration wishes II clearly understood that Dr. Garfield'i order does not include grain elevators potato or vegetable houses, cold storI age, all forms of grain storage. graf ! and feed mills cereals product manl ufacturerS, bakers, canners, milk dealI CTS, creameries, condensers, and all other milk product manufactured packing and slaughter houses, icI plants and refrigerators, sugar manul lecturers, commission, wholesale ani retail trades-in fact, every sort oI food-handling, manufacturing or dis1 tribution agency"
 Later in the day 1t was tndicatef at the Fuel Administration that thI additional list of exempted tndustrleI would not be made public on thI ground that those industries not m cIuded would demand exemption anI that 1t would be harder to enforcl the closing order.

MORE MEN URGENT
 NEED OF BRITAIN
Value of Democracy Gauged by
 Willingness to Die for It
APPEAL BY LLOYD GEORGE
EngIand;s Premier, Addressing Labor Men, Says Cruelest Military Autoc- racy World Has Even Known Is Not Far From Channel Ports.

London, Jan 1S.-Premier Lloyd George, addressing the labor delegates today, said no man standing on the watch tower could deny the urgency of the need for raising more men.
 The premier said no democracy has ever long survived the failure of it's adherence to be ready to die for it.
 MT. Lloyd George said that he and President Wilson without previous conversation-there was no opportun- ity-had laid down substantially the same program of demands for the termination of the war.
 There was no man willing to make peace without complete restoration of Belgium and reparatiOn, the prem fer said. From Germany there had been but one answer, he added, and it came from von TirpitzJs soul never"
 Continuing, the premier said:
 "Our channel ports arc not lar from the fighting line and unless we are prepared to stand up to the peo- pie who are dominating Germany, Britain, British democracy, French democracy and the democracy of Flu rope will be at the mercy of the most cruel military autocracy the world has ever seen."
 MT. Lloyd-George said his and Pres ident Wilson's war aims had been ac- rlaimed throughout the Entente allied
 1untries. There had been hardly a
 oce of criticism save from a few who
 ished he had made more extreme de- hands. The socialists of France, Italy and Great Britain, he said, had accepted them as very fair general de- mands.
 Go On Or Co Under.
 The premier said that Germany had answered "never'' to his demand for g. reconsideration of the wrong of Alsace-Lorraine, and had declared that Germany would go on until Mes opotamia and Palestine were restored to the tyranny of the Turks. No single war aim conditions made by the British trade unionists had been answered by any German authority, he added.
 There had been no answer from Germany to the recent statements of | the Entente powers on war alms ne l continued. Won Hindenburg and Von | Ludendorff were brought back TOT l conference but Foreign Minister Voh Kuehlmann was not allowed to speak | why" asked the premier Be cause the Prussian military power Is dominant. The answer will be given by the canpons mouth"
 If any man here can find an hon. orable and equitable way out or thls conflict without fighting it through, the premier said, "let him tell it. My conviction is this-the people mus' either go on or go under"
 The view of the government, MT Lloyd George said, was that it woulc be folly to withdraw men from indus tries one hour sooner than the neec arose, but that it would be treason tt the state, to democracy and to free dom if. when the need did arise, the demand should not be made. Whatever terms were put forward by any pacifst orator here, the pre- mier declared, would not be cashee by Ludendorff or the Kaiser unles the British had the power to enforce l them.
