FREIGHT
 EMBARGO
 ORDERED
McAdOo Bans Every thing Except Food, Fuel and War Muni- tions on Three Big Lines, to Get Coal Into New England.

Washington, Jan. 23-An embargo on all freight except food, fuel and war munitions on the Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburgh, Baltimore & Ohio east of the Ohio river, and the Philadelphia & Reading was authorized today by Director General McAdoo.
 The action was taken on the recommendation of A. H. Smith, assistant director general in charge of transportation in the east. No action was taken on the recommendation submitted last night by Fuel Administra- tor Garfield. The embargo is temporary and is to continue only a few days.
 "On account of the extremely se- were weather which has particularly affected operation of railroads cross ing the Allegheny mountains" said the railroad administration announcement, Director General McAdoo, on the recommendation of Regional Director | Smith, has authorized him to place an embargo on all freight except food. fuel and such war munitions and war supplies as are specifically approved by the war department, on the Penn 1 sylvania lines east of Pittsburgh. the l Baltimore & Ohio east of the Ohio river, and the Philadelphia & Read ing, for the purpose of enabling those lines, which are the heaviest bitumin- ous coal carriers, to continue special izing on coal for the double purpose of supplying the acute conditions ir New England and the harbor of New York and elsewhere and in the pro- vision of empty cars for mines anG
 coke ovens.
 This embargo is a temporary one
 It should last only a few days if the
 weather moderates."
 A threatened serious coal shortage in New York also is said to have has
 tened the decisions Many industries
 it was expected, would continue to op crate on part time as a result of tn, !, embargo order today. This will tent
 to save coal further for domestic us , and bunkering of ships.
 Diversion of coal shipments to the
 preferred list of consumers, including
 householders, ships and strictly wal
 industries, fuel administrations say
 has improved the coal situation ma
 terially.

London, Jan. 23-Ihe peace agitation in Austria Hungary is receiving a great rousing in Germany. The Socialist news paper Vorwaerts of Berlin em- phatically declares the solidar- ity of the German proletariat with Austrian labor in the peace struggle and maintains that events in the dual mon archy must have a deep reac- !. tion in Germany.
 We have been walking on the edge of a precipice in the last few days" it says, and goes on to demand that the German government resolutely take its place by the side of it's Aus trian ally.
 "As the frut of Pan-German prop [ aced not only with the Wrecking of the peace negotiations with Russia but also with complete political iso- lation. This danger can be averted only if the German government de- cares itself in agreement with For eign Minister Czernin's declaration Prospecting adherence to the princi- pies of no annexation and no indemni- ties) and draws therefrom practica conclusions, which must be drawr honestly. If the government act: otherwise, the consequence would bt that, while Austria-Hungary ant Russia enter lasting relations O friendship, Germany will remain ex cluded therefrom and we shall los our last neighbor and friend.".
 Among the newspapers of a differ ent complexion there are indication of considerable irritation toward Aus tria, which in some cases is express ed frankly. The Tagliche Rund schau of Berlin declares that, owin to support from the Austrian gov ernment, democratic internationalisn has come to the surface, stirring u strike after strike and preparing fo deroocratic peace of the sort Trotzk stands for. It also speaks of fires crisis arising in Germany though tn cticn of the German Social DemoC racy.
 The Frankfurter zeitung expresse much concern at the peace agitatio in Austria, remarkng that German cannot be asked to agree to an UT conditional peace after such g. war { this, nor can Austria It complain that the Austrian government migl do more than it is doing to make clear that it is not in the special il terests of Germany that the two ni tons are standing together in u peace negotiations. The zeitung col lectures that the strikes in Austr are attributed to Count Czernin stage management"
