Force in France, Feb. 4.-(Delayed)-
The American army is hungry for re-
venge today. The baptism of big shells
the soldiers received Saturday mght
Just whetted their appetites for more.
Those who were wounded in the ar
tillery duel are most anxious for more
fighting. Many Of them, after they had
been hit during the height OF the en-
counter, refused to leave theirplaees
on the trench firing step. They waited
there in eagerness, hoping the boehes
would come over No Mans Land, They
remained on the firing step until GER
tain the enemy had given up all hope
of attacking.
This brand of heroism was apparent
an during the engagement When Ger
man shells cut the communication
wires. American dispatch runners re-
peatedly attempted to penetrate the
enemy barrage. With splendid dlsre-
gard for their own safety they took
their lives in their hands again and
again in their efforts. to fight their
wav through the rain of shells.

from a ration wagon by direct MT
His wagon was demolished, his mules
were hurt and the soldier was sent
spinning. As soon as the New YORKER
was sure he had no wounds, he round

shooed them on to headquarters.

10 weeks.
While violent protests poured
into the capitol from all points,
100000 people and thousands
OF industrial plants began the gi-
gantic task of adjusting them
|selves to the new regulations.
Millions of dollars in wages
and output are affected-but .3O,-
00O, 000 tons of coal must and
can be saved by the order, 1t is
stated.
Problems rising out of the
hardships faced by more than sew
en- millions employees in the at
fected teAtory, are admittedly
great.
In Effect at Midnight.
Under the avalanche of hun
dreds of thousands of kilograms,
Garfield laid plans with state
tides for putting the order into
effect at midnight.
Dismay, confusion and vigorous
charges of inefficiency were re-
vealed in the protests of business.
That the country does not be-
lieve the need exists for the dras-
tic step is plainly evidenced.
Unprecedented numbers of tele-
grams flooded the White House
protesting, demanding revocation
of the order, calling for Garfield's
removal from office and pointing
out the dangers, nationally or in
ternationally, of throwing the
economic status of the country
into furore.
Charges that Garfield had
usurped powers he does not pos
sess were heard from all points,
including both houses of con-
gress. To which the fuel admin
istration replied that under the
Lever bill and priority powers
authority is granted for restrict
ing fuel, the measure providing
powers to stop shipments of fuel
to any consumer who fails to obey
government mandate.
Much Confusion.
The war government itself
was confused as to the scope of
the Garfield order. Hasty con-
ferences between Garfield and
shipping board officials today re-
suited in the declaration that
some plants-among them the
fabricating steel plants-must
close down. There will be no de-
lay to the shipping program,
however, because sufficient sup
plies are now en- route to yards
to supply all needs.
The Monday holiday order has
caused general confusion thru
out the country. This order, Gar
field explained today, affects
only the eastern half of the
United States, but fuel admins
traitors in the western states have
the power to enforce the Monday
holiday there also.
For the time being all must
rely on the newspapers for infor-
nation and detailed orders will
be sent out as soon as possible,
Garfield said.
