department stores and retail estab-

not only are not burning coal, but
they are closed.

supposed to run only for those ex-

But, despite the general close-down
of business, the government is having
violent fight to keep coal moving.
At both northern and southern
ports loading Of vessels is continuing
on a 24-hour schedule.

measures to continue coal move

pension order ends, tomorrow night,
will have to be invoked.
officials say priority orders now in
effect will be continued after tomor-

This would mean that after tomor

have coal on hand could operate,

Washington, January 21-Within 30
days application of the Garfield Mon
day holiday order may be discontin-

general, asserted today before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee.
Summoned before the committee tt
explain further the proposed opera
ton of the railroads under federal
control, McAdoo said the holiday
probably will not be necessary be-
yond the middle of February.
At the same time he startled men,
bers of the committee with the de-
claration that between one billion and
one and a half billion dollars must bC
put into the railroads by the fedora
treasury to make them effective IL

McAdoo, also came out definitely
against government ownership of the
roads.
McAdoo said his survey of the rail
situation has convinced him govern
ment funds must 60 into the roads to
help them expand.
He forecast the continuation of gov
eminent control for some time, when
he said congress should not limit that
control to any definite period.

the duration of the war, or for fix.

the committee, financial chaos is like

THE FIFTH REGIMENT

Most everybody remembers the day
When the Fifth Regiment marched
away.
Trouble in Europe, the worst they've
ever seen,
So they cabled Uncle Sam to send the
marines.
The first to go was the gallant Fifth;
They wanted an outfit that was sure
and swift.
OF course the army followed as will
ing as could be,
But the first to land in Europe were
the soldiers of the sea.
To Wilson lots of praises are due;
He is going to see it over, that is true.
Our navy is we'll fed on pork and
beans,
And we are the guys who put sub in
submarine.
So here's to France, land we love,
Hoping she is guided by the Powers
above;
And when we leave Europe every
German will turn green,
II he ever sees picture of U. S.
Marine.

That the migratory habits OF rats
have a bearing upon the spread Of the
disease is not generally known. but
the U. S. Public Health Service, as
result of experiments conducted a.

case.
Several hundred captured rats were
marked for purposes of Identification

These rats were released IN the

was labelled as TO the locality caught.
Fully one.fourth Of the rats made
widespread excursions. That is, they
we're recaptured at points from one to
four miles from where they were lib
