Representative Rainey
Praises Accomplish

HIS CRITICS WILL

Future Will Show Far
Sightedness of u. S.
Fuel Supervisor.

Washington, March~1 - The
Fuel Administrations recent
closing order was defended in
the House today by Represen-
tative Rainey Of Illinois, who
declared~that when the "entire
story is told there will be mem
bers of the House who would
be glad to expunge from the
record, if they could, speeches
they made Immediately after
the coal orders PRONUNCIATION"
The Illinois representative asserted
that too much already had been dis
closed regarding military movements.
| Not only was coal shipment falling
off by the middle of January, he as
serted, but shipment of steel plate and
steel bars needed for the great new
fleet the United States is building had
fallen off so per cent. More alarm
ing still, he added, was the falling off
in shipment of projectile steel, needed
for munition manufacture. This had
fallen off by the middle of January As
per cent.
He said the relief brought about by
the heatless Monday order was i'm
mediately apparent and as result 48O
ships have been loaded and coaled
since Jan. IT. Forty of them, he said,
were loaded with food, II with coal,
oil and gasoline, and $50 with NUM-
tons, and nearly every one of them
has safely reached it's destination, and
the supplies are being distributed to
the armies in France. Steel move
ments now, he said, have become nor
NAL.
Despite unprecedented increase in
coal production there still is a short
age of 50,000,G0O tons, the represent
alive said, which must be met by i'm
mediate1y building more coal cars and
more engines and by conserving coal.
Mr.. Rainey said DR.. Garfield is blaZ-
ing his own trail and that the fuel
administration had perfected an Or
ganization to save 100000 tons OF
coal annually in homes, 100000 tons
in locomotive and stationary steam
plant, and 100000 more by an in
crease of 10000 900 cords of wood used,
$500, 900 tons by consolidating public
utility plants and using natural ice
instead of artificial, 100000 by elm
linating unnecessary advertising signs
and out Of door lighting, 100000 by
the proposed daylight saving bill,
100000 by natural reduction of build
ing material, 1,5oO,0OO by trolley cars
stopping every other block, and TO-
0OO, 900 by other plans now being de-
velopedL
The speaker deprecated what he
said was 1.-THE impression created by
the speeches here and by partisan
newspapers throughout the country
that DR.. Garfield is a college presi-
dent and nothing more" Mr.. Rainey
said Dr. Garfield is a lawyer OF
marked ability, that he had organized
a mine railroad and one of the great
trust companies of the country, the
Cleveland Trust Co., and that no man
in the United States better under
stood the business of operating coal
mines.

President Pondering- ST.
berian Middle New
Message Expected.
EXECUTIVE DROPS
ALL OTHER PLANS
Coming of Ishii Awaited
in Washington to
Clarity Situation.

Washington, Mar. 1-Japan's
proposal for action in Siberia
has crowded German Chancel-
lor Won Hertling's speech into
second place in the considera-
ton Of officials here, and there
were indications today that de-
cisions were being formed
which soon would show them
selves in some arrangement of
an international character to
prevent the vast stores in
Vladivostok and control of the
Trans-Siberian railroad from
falling into the hands of the adj
vancing Germans.
The expectation that President Will
son was planning to address congress
very soon in reply to Won HertIing's
speech was dissipated today by evil
dence that the president is making no
such plans at tits time and probably
does not consider it as necessary 20
reply to the German chancellor for
the present at least. Before the
president speaks there doubtless will
be an Interchange. of views with Lon
don and Paris so that if Mr.. Wilson
speaks he will express the view of all
the co-beligerents as on previous oc-
casions.
Outward indications today were that
the president was studying the ques-
ton Of American participation with
the japanese in Siberia to the exclu-
sion of other subjects.
Japan has informed the United
States that Americans going to Japan
must have their passports vised by q
japanese diplomatic or consular Off
Ger in this country before leaving. It
is a wartime measure which has been
adopted by practically all the co-beI-
ligerents.

ing to information received by Col
lector of Port James L. McGovern
this morning. This ruling will apply

have contracted with American ship
building concerns for vessels.
In accordance to the order it has
been Interpreted that all ships built
here since February 1 unless they fly

they are.
Orders were also received this
morning by McGovern regarding the
buying and selling of vessels. When
application is made to buy or sell a
vessel such information as to the

number, dead weight. names of the
purchaser, citizenship, and number of
years of experience of the purchaser
in operating vessels will ave to he

board.
In the case of a corporation buying
a ship the president and managing
directors must be United States citi-

The office of the Collector of Port
is in a position to aid persons in buy
ing ships. Information will, how
ever, have to be submitted to the

.FRENCHPEASANTS
LOSE HEAVILY BY
COLLAPSE

Paris, March 1 - The reputation
by the Bolshevik government of Rus
sia's entire bonded debt caused some
anxiety among French people who
held at least half of the debt of the
empire outstanding at the beginning
of the war.
Eighteen billion Of francs of Rus
sian bonds, at the price of issue, were
listed on the Paris Bourse. Twelve
billions according to the lowest esti-
mates and Is billions according to
other calculations, were bought by
the French public.
Servants in white aprons, bare
headed market women, domestics of
all categories and men in the blouses
of the peasant and the 1aborer made
up the long lines of investors in front
of the wickets whenever Russian
loans were offered for sale.
ct haven't a SOU invested in Rus
STA" a millionaire Partisan said to
the Associated Press, but every one
Of my servants has one or more Rus
sian bonds. Another millionaire, said
the same was true Of his household.
Instead of hitting the counting
house and the salon. the Bolshevik
| are hitting the servants hall and the
| backstairs," was the way he put the
situation.
There is no little apprehension in
socialist circles as to the effect of this
heavy blow the extreme revolutionary
element in Russia has delivered at
| the extreme liberal element in
| France. A peasant or workingman
who may overlook or disbelieve news
of Bo1shevik excuses or misconstrue
their effect will be unable to doubt
the evidence of his own despoilment.
Until now the holders of Russian
bonds have been treasured by the
payment of the January coupons
which the French treasury assumed.
1t doesn't appear yet, however,
whether the French government will
assume the burden indefinitely and il
the bankruptcy Of the revolution is
allowed to become effective, the
greater number of the smaller in
vestors who have been financing the
Russian empire since 1888 will be
ruined.
A contrast is drawn here between
the action of the BolsheViki and thai
of the French revolution. The Max.
imalists pretend that the money loan.
ed to Russia was used to buy arm:
to keep the people in subsection. Thi:
was tried to far greater extent of tn,
money borrowed by the French mon

American officers in France cannot

The American forces are remarkable

A MEXICAN TARS
HOLD NO FEAR FOR
C OLD WEATHER

Base of American F1otilla in Eng
hsh Waters, March 1.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press -Ad-
miral Henry T. Mayo, commander of
the Atlantic Fleet, has cabIed to Vice
Admiral Sims, in charge of American
naval operations in the war zone, a
request for information regarding the
suitability of the special winter out
fits of clothing furnished to the naval
men by the Navy Department at
Washington. Admiral Mayo also
wants to know of any recommended
tons for changes in these garments.
The Associated Press correspondent
has yet to hear a word of complaint
against the present outfits worn by
the men. Thanks to the busy women
who knit. Most of the men, early in
their arrival here, received excellent
sweaters, jerseys and socks which
were sent by wives, relatives and
friends back home. When the cold
weather came on these were aug
mented by an entirely new issue of
extra heavy winter clothing. Many
of these garments were designed by
the British from their long experience
IN torpedo boats in the hard winters
off this coast.
Here are some of the things, which
when donned, make some of the men
hook more Ike Arctic explorers than
bluejackets:
Helmets of wool which cover all
but the eyes, nose and houth; light
knitted coat sweaters, jerseys and
cardigan jackets; knitted mittens and
gloves; extra heavy coarse under
clothing; heavy wooden socks and
knee length stockings; leather sea
boots; wind proof khak-colored trous-
ers; great coats lined with lamb s
wool. The last named are worn over
the life jackets and help to make up
the most serviceable combination
worn by Americans over here. They
keep the men warm on the damp,
cold days with the biting winds when
the sleet squalls are hourly affairs
and ''ypu can't see an inch"
| Relatives of large majority of the
men ever here continue to send them
knitted things All sorts of knitted
garments arrive and are deeply ap-
preciated Oftimes the men receive
knitted garments from vito or sweet
heart that are not very serv7ceable
but accompanying letters from home
are SO enthusiastic that the men hes
| itate to utter a word Of criticism.
| Experience has shown that the wo-
men folks back homo ought to con-
centrate on socks as they are in the
greatest demand and most appreciat-
ed OF all things they send to the
sailor boys over there.
