cheese exports from Canada to in
crease greatly. From May to DC

out of the country; in the same
period of 1916, 1879 100000 pounds,
an increase of $4,000. 900 pounds.
The demand for cheese for the SOL
diers has caused the per capita con-
sumption to mount from 21a pounds
for Canada to 1871 pounds for
Britain. Cheese suddenly has grown

because it is one of the cheapest
foods on the market. A vast amount

Chicago's Third Heatless
 Monday Sees City in Worst
 Fuel Famine of the Winter

Chicago. February 4.-Chicago's third heatless Monday, also the coldest day of the year, saw the city in the grip of the
 worst fuel famine in its history. Suffering was widespread, hundreds of persons besieging the offices of the fper
 administration for the pink coal slins
 which proved valueless when presented In many yards which were closed be-
 cause lack of fuel.
 Chicago is freezing and something must
 be done at once. said Fred w. Upham. president of the largest coal company in
 the city. But the dealers with empty
 yards, are powerless to relieve the situa- :
 tion.
 Hotels were crowded with household CTS
 who had closed their homes because of
 lack of fuel. In the poorer quarters of
 the city neighbors huddled together in the homes having fuel.
 In the temperature 10 degrees below
 zero, men, women and children formed
 long shivering lines before coal yards begging meager supplies which were car ried of in baskets. Meantime, hundreds of carloads of coal destined to Chica eo were tied up in the traffic channels choked by recent blizzards Early clear ing of this congestion and relief for the city was promised by the state fuel ad- ministration tonight.
 In the face of the famine there came into the offices of the fuel administra- tion and the department of justice re. ports of more than 200 Violations of the
 heatless Monday order.

Coal Situation Ls
 Critical in Many
 Sections Country

Because of another cold wave over which drifted snow badly, the railroads today failed to establish the coal haul ing record for which officials had hoped, in preparation for the decision tomorrow whether to abandon the fuel- less Mondays in the future. By largely disregarding general freight on the lines. however, the quantity of coal de- livered was reported little higher than in preceding days.
 Railroad administration officials con- tinue to insist that the interference with normal loading and unloading activities by the Monday closing at freight ternsi- nals did more to disrupt the smooth working of the carriers than the suspen- sion of business contributes to help. This Is the attitude which Director General McAdoo Is expected to assume when he discusses the industrial suspension order with Fuel Administrator Garfield tomor- row.
 At the urgent suggestion of the rati- road administration. many shippers to- day kept their teams and trucks at work to remove the vast quantities of freight which are glutting the terminals.
 Reports from A.. 1T. Smith, regional director for the east on car movements today. indicated a change in the tide from preponderance of east bound trar- fic to a gerater flow westward. East bound laden cars amounted to 6a4OZ . decrease of s53l from yesterday: e4xt- bound empties numbered so7s. an. increase of i4s2; westbound ldads were 2.S07. an increase of 2s65. and west bound emptisA q. .707. q decrease of 1883.
