BUSINESS MEN MUST GRIN AND BEAR II, STATES UNDERWOOD
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington. January 1S--(Special) Alabama complaint regarding the order Of Dr. Garfield prohibiting the consump- tor of coal and necesstating the clos ing down of industries became as bitter today as that of any other state
 The answer to each case as it is stated to the senators is identical. Dr. Garfield, sustained by the President, declined to pay attention te.a request of the Senate that the effect Of his order be postponed. It follows that he will pay no attention to petitions of an individual.
 It is the opinion of Senator Underwood that no exception will be made in the case. of company burning wood or whose machinery is moved by water power, or even in the case of a com psny.operating with it's own waste mate rial for fuel.
 The order" said Senator Underwood, Ia. it is generally understood is not in- tended merely to conserve the fuel sup ply, but to prevent manufacture of mate- rials which would eventually become freight. The administration hopes not oEly to save coal, but to relieve railroad congestion.
 "Congress IS as much opposed to the Garfield order as any individual, but Con- gress, it has been demonstrated, can do nothing. All that is left for the country is to grin and bear il"
 The far-reaching effect of the order is demonstrated in the contention of Bir- mingham undertaken that unless the Bir- Mingham Casket company is permitted to operate the people will have to fore go the custom of buryins the dead.

RELATIONS BETWEEN
 RUSS AND RUMAN|A AT DANGER STAGE

Petrograd, January 1S.-A dangerous stage has arisen in the relations be- tween Rumania and the bolsheviki. A two hours ultimatum has been sent to the Rumanian military authorities by the revolutionary committee of the Ninth Russian army demanding free passage of Russian tropos through Jassy, the temporary capital of Ru- mania.
 London, January 1S.-The latest threat of the bolshevilxi to cause the arrest of the Rumanian royal family has created no surprise among the Rumanian authorities or London. Sometime ago the bolsheviki sent troops to Jassy under the leadership or the Bulgarian reactionary, Rakov- sky. to arrest General Tcherbatcheff. commander on the Rus an- Rumanian front, and at the same time to seize the Rumanian royal family and the mem- bers of the government
 General Tcherbatcheff. however, succeeded in capturing the rnglead- CTS of the movement and with the as- sistance of the Rumanian army dis armed 15,000 boIshevik irregulars The bolshevik ultimatum recently issued demanded the release of these ring leaders.
 The Rumanian army has refrained from armed conflict with the bolshe- vlkl, but it is declared will not toll crate any plans on Rumanian soil against the royal family or the Ru- manian people. King Ferdinand and the royal family are still at Jassy, cut off from the world and living almost entirely upon canned food, with bread three times week.

ORDER IS DRASTIC
 AND 50 IS WAR
 STATES CARE HELD

Washington, January 1S.-FueI Adminixtrator Garfield issued statement tonight reminding the public that while the fuel restric- tion order was drastic. war was drastic. and the order was n nec- cSsary war measure.
 The statement follows:
 s.The order snspending tempo rarily the operation of industrial plants in portions of the United States is drastic. Yes, war is drastic. This war Is the most ex- tensive and involves greater sac- rifices than any war heretofore. The American people led by the President entered this war delib- eratcIy. They are stalking every thing for the realization of n great ideal and the ideal is practical. We know that democracy must be made reality at home as well as abrcad; that it's benefits must he shared by all and it's sacrifices borne by no single class.
 CAPITAL AND LABOR ARE ONE
 "Capital and labor are embarked in this war because all Americans are in it and the American spirit cries out against the least suEEes- tiOn that the burden be shifted to the hacks of any one class, least of nll of labor, for labor has less financial ability to meet the pro- Ionged hardships of war than cap itnl. We are realizing the truth now ns never before that capital and labor are not two but one. Their problems present merely two aspects of the same vitnl Ques- tiOn. The unselfish and patriotic impulses and the calm look ahead will lead the country to approve of the order now in force.
 INDUSTRY UNBALANCED
 "Industry Ia in an unbalanced condition. We lack many essentials food. clothing. fuel. We have piled np enormous stores of things not essential to life. but very es-

ALLIES MUST GO ON OR GO UNDER, SAYS PRIME MINISTER Lloyd George Warns British People of Possible Fate
 if Defeated SPEAKS ON THE NEED OF MORE MEN AT ONCE Labor Delegates Are Re- minded How Near They
 Are to the Battle
 Front

London, January 18.-Pre- mier 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 prime minister said no democracy has ever long sur vived tf Eilure of it's adher- ents to b. Mady to die for it. Mir. Lloyd George said that he and consultation-there was no oppor- tunity-had laid down substantially the same programme of demands for the termination of the war There was no man willing to make peace without complete restoration of Belgium and reparation, the premier said. From Germany there had been but one answer, he added. "and it came from Won Tirpitz's soul-never!' CODtiHuiIS, tHe preiillcI Ssiiu.
 MUST STAND FIRM
 Our channel ports are not far from the fighting line, and unless we are pre- pared to stand up to the people who are dominating Germany, Britain, British democracy, French democracy and the democracy of Europe will be at the mercy of the most cruel military autocraoy the world has ever seen"
 Mir. Lloyd George said his and Presi- don't Wilson's war aims had been ae- claimed throughout the entente allies countries There had been hardly a voice of criticism save from few who wished he had made more extreme de- mands. The socialists of France. Italy and Great Britain. he said had accepted them as very fair general demands
 GERMANS ANSWER NEVER"
 The premier said that Germany had answered never to his demand for 2 reconsideration of the wrong of Alsace- Lorraine and had declared that Germany would go on until Mesopotamia and Pal estine were restored to the tyranny of the Turks.
 No single war aims conditions made by the British trade unions had been answered by any German authority. he added.
 MT. Lloyd George said there had been no answer from Germany on the recent entente's war aims.
 MILITARY IS DOMINANT
 Field Marshal Won Hindcnburg and General Won Ludendorff were brought back for conferences, but Foreign Min isier Won Kuehlnann was not allowed to speak.
 'Why?" asked the premier Be .ause the Prussian militarist power is domi- nant The answer to be given will be given from the cannon's mouth.'
 If any man here can find an honor able and equitable way out of this con flict, without fighting it through, the premier continued. let him tell it. My conviction is this: The people must either go on or go under"
 The view of the government, Mir. Lloyd George said was that 1t would be folly to withdraw men from industries one hour sooner than the need arose, but that it would be treason to the state. to democracy and to freedom if when the need did arse the demand should not be made.
