ROOSEVELT NOW
IN WASHINGTON;
WARS ON BAKER

Washington, Jan. 23.-Politics In
today.
Col. Roosevelts arrival yesterday
morning, well press ACCENTED and care
fully timed, gave the final touch to a
picture remote from the subject of
war. In countries where the execu-
tive arm of the government is directly
responsible to the legislative the situa-
ton existing here would be called a
ministerial crisis. But under the
American form perhaps the best de-
scription that can be given is to say
that relations are tense between those
who criticise the Presidents conduct
of the war and those who support the
methods which have been employed.
The administration will be support
ed on Thursday when the test comes
over the passage of Senator Chamber
! lain's bill to create a war cabinet. To
| that prophecy can be added apother-
| that among the adherents of the Pres
! ident when the count is taken will be
found several Republicans who believe
that this is no time for partisanship.
7 Among certain of the Democrats
there is a disposition to criticise Sena7
tor Stone for having brought into
sharp relief the matter of politics in
4 his speech Monday, but those who JUS
tify the Missourian's position say that
he was countering against the move
made recently by Senator Penrose, who
stated in so many words that the in
designations and the proffered reforms
growing out of them had given the
Republicans great campaign material
for use this year in the congressional
elections and in 1920"

eff our responsible government and
it's allies had endeavored to appre-
ciate the real meaning of the revolu-
ton they would not have been SO
lukewarm toward that great event.
The government had sent Arthur
Henderson, then a member of the
cabinet. to Petrograd. Mr.. Purdy con-
tinued, but had declined to accept his
advice, and even today there was no
great anxiety on the part of the Brit
ish government to recognize those
who were representing the Russian
people.
Mr.. Purdy's statement that the de-
clarations of Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Lloyd-George made it impossible for
Germany to claim she was fighting
defensive war, but that no sign could
be seen that Germany was willing to
accept the principles proclaimed, was
received with some dissent, cries of
"Oh" and with applause.
will the German democracy"
Mr.. Purdy asked. will the German
democracy face its government as we
have faced ours?"
The conference took up the pro-
posed amendment to the party con-
stitution. Arthur Henderson, former
member of the British war cabinet,
on behalf of the executive commit
tee moved the membership of the
party should consist of all organiza-
ton, together with those men and
women who were individual members
of a local labor party and that they
should subscribe to the program of
the party.

STORM NULLIFIES
SAYING MADE BY
CLOSING ORDERS

New York, Jan 23-New York's
many industries, closed for the last
five days by decree of the national
fuel administration, resumed opera
lions today with the coal shortage
still acute. The saving of fuel result
ing from the closing order has been
virtually nulIihed, fuel administrators
declared, by severe weather. Storms
prevented the normal supply of coal
from reaching the city. The six-inch
fall of snow yesterday. which almost
Frustrated fuel transportation, was a
discouraging elimination of series
of setbacks from the elements.
At the end of the five day restric-
ton period no official could say today
just what were the effects of the in
dustrial shutdown except that it had
got coal to seahoard for ships.
Homes in many parts of the coun-
try still were without fuel, although
at the fuel administration it was said
that complaints of lack of coal for
household needs were fewer than they
had been in weeks.
Railroad congestion has not been
much relieved, but it was impossible
to say whether the closing order help
ed or not. Bad weather nullif1ed
much of the good effects the genera
closing might have had in clearing the
railroads and there was a wide differ
ence of opinion as to whether this
shutdown would have assisted mater
tally in moving freight even if the
weathAr had been good.

Would it not, then be of far greater

Would it not, then be of far greater
benefit to her allies for Japan to de-
vote her energies in other directions
than the one we were discussing?
There are many ways for Japan to
serve the allied cause. What she has
heretofore done in these lines I have
already described.
The foregoing reasons will, I hope.
suffice to explain why Japan has not
yet sent an expeditionary force to
Europe. I dare not say, however, at
the moment when every hour is
bringing to US news of tremendous
significance, that no emergency will
arise when it will become an impera-
tive duty for Japan to risk all, sacri-
flee all, at the altar Of the common
cause. No emphasis, then, is needed
that Japan stands ready to do every
thing within her power to see victory
perch upon the flags of the allied ma
lions.

WATER FAMINE IN
ANTHRACITE FIELD
HITS COLLIERIES

Pottsville, Pa, Jan. 2S.-Overshad-
owing the inability of the railroads to
move coal quickly from mine to mar
ket. a water famine has tied up sew
eral big colIieries in Pennsylvania
anthracite field.
About a dozen other collieries are
on the verge of a shutdown for the
same reason.
The scarcity of water has crippled
the production of coal seriously since
the severe cold weather began. Thou
sands of loaded coal cars still remain
in railroad yards and on s1dings. The
congestion, however, is being grad
uaIly cleared up.
