ONLY ONE DAYS SUPPLY
OF HARD COAL IN CITY
Snowstorm Viewed With Apprehen-
sion by Fuel Administrator
Weaver.

With another snowstorm, containing
the possibility of interrupted railroad
traffic, Washington today is taking
stock of its coal supplies. AS a result
of increased shipments during the last
week, it was estimated at the Office of
Fuel Administrator Weaver. there has
| been accumulated a surplus of about
5000 tons of anthracite, a little more
than one days consumption.
This is more Of a margin than there
has been at any time since the coal
shortage became acute, but it is en-
tirely too narrow for comfort. It would
tide the city over considerable period
unless there should be complete STOP
page of transportation, but the return
of snow is viewed with apprehension.
saving feature is that the snow has
not been accompanied by a return of
extremely cold weather
MIR. Weaver was baSing hope this
morning on the chance that the snow
will not be sufficiently heavy to cripple
the railroads.
There is no Serious apprehension over
the supplies of soft coal, though stocks
in the city are not sufficient to insure
against prolonged interruption Of traf-
fic.
Administrator Weaver has accepted
the offer of the Washington chapter
of the American Association of En-
gineers to conduct in Washington q
campaign Of education in coal economy
Members of the chapter, armed with
authority from the fuel administrator,
will visit manufacturing plants, hotels,
apartment houses. office buildings and
other structures which are large users
of coal and give Instructions in ef-
flcient' and economical operation of
heating and power-generating plants.
The proprietor or manager of each
establishment will be taken to the
engine room and shown where it will
be to- his financial advantage to have
the instructions of the engineers car
ried out

LONDON, February 22.-The British

Push, Ahead Steadily.
Since the capture Of Jerusalem the
British have been pushing ahead stead
lily. striking out to the north and east.
Official statements from London in the
last few days a have ,, rsposstsd rapid prog.
offered no determined resistance.
Aside from its historical Importance. in
connection with the British plan to free
the Holy Land from the domination of
the Turks. the capture of Jericho is of
little significance. It consists, merely of
a group of squalid novels and few
shops, with about 300 Inhabitants
Its chief strategic value lies in the
fact that it gives the British domination
of the valley of Jordan and also control
of network Of highways radiating from
the town. A further advance eastward
of twenty-five miles, however, would
take the British to the railway from
Damascus to Mecca, which would cut of
the Turks line Of communication with
1f ho
Arab tribes which are cooperating with
the British. Jericho is near the north
ern extremity of the Dead sea, fourteen
miles northeast Of Jerusalem
The ancient Jericho. which was sit
uated to the west Of the modern Jericho,
was a town Of considerable size. It was
the first Canaanfte city to be reduced by
the Israelites, who. the biblical story
relates. encompassed its destruction by
the blowing Of trumpets.

RUSSIAN SITUATION
Capture of War Material by
Germany Not Considered of
Great Importance.
REPORT BY GEN. JUDSON

The American general staff is watching
the new German sweep into Russia with
little more than academic interest, quite
convinced that Russia is no longer a
military factor to be considered and that
the situation has little bearing, for the
present at least, upon the other battle
fronts.
Large captures Of military stores
bear little relation to the equipment of
troops on the Italian or west fronts.
officers here say. as the guns and rifles
captured can be OF use only as long as
the ammunition supply captured with
them holds out.
Observers. both here and in Russia,
1t is understood. are satisfied that as
the German drive continues it will meet
with more resistance. !.
The greater the distance the Germans
advance. the more effective would be
that resistance, the military experts
say. since it would require great mum
oers OF troops to maintain the German
transportation liDes and give the best
opportunity for guerrilla warfare
Eventually. they think the vast extent
OF Russian territory and the great pop
ulation will form a more definite move
ment Of resistance.
The government will receive a detailed
report from Brig. Gen. Judson, who has
Just returned from duty at the American
embassy in Petrograd.
The turn Of events in Russia, in the view
here. swings upon the object Of the Ger
man high command in renewing opera
tons. The capture Of war material from
resisting foe is considered of no great
importance, and the capture of thousands
OF prisoners Is regarded as an added en-
oarrassment in many ways. The taking

the modified Enfield. in the opinion of

When the decision 20 make the change
was reached 1t was supposed the men
from the cantonments might be sent
across much earlier than it is now
known they can be sent, owing to lack
or transport facilities; and therefore

into consideration. AS matters are
now, it Is positively stated, there will
be plenty of time for all of the men in
training to familiarize themselves with
the new weapon before they start for
France.
As a. matter of fact the country's pro,
ducing capacity as regards military

been so expanded within the last nine
months that it Is furnishing the army

Less than a month ago." said an Of
ficer of the ordnance department, the
Senate military affairs committee was
asking how great the shortage OF fines
for the Army was as regards camps
and cantonments. Now the arsenals
and factories of the country are giving
the answer by sending rifles to the
government at the rate OF more than
25O.000 a month. and they are at least

When the United States entered the
war the arms manufacturing compa-
nies mentioned above were manufac-
turing Enfield rifles for the British
government at the rate Of 5000 day.
1t was expected the ordnance depart
ment would take over these plants for
government use as soon as the foreign
contracts were filled, and considerable
adverse criticism Of the War Depart
ment followed its failure to take
prompt advantage Of the opportunity to
obtain this supply of rifles for use in
the training camps. The department,
however. had in mind that 1t was bet
