SAVING ORDERS
TO BE IN FORCE
6O,OOO,0OO Tons Will Be
Taken from Nonwar
Industries. -
MUST AVERT DISASTER
Auto Industry Expected to
Curtail Production Is
Per Cent.

Sixty million tons Of bituminous
coal will be taken from the non-war
industries to keep the war industries
running full steam ahead and save
the country from national disaster.
| This unqualified statement was
made yesterday by DR.. Harry A.
Garfield, the Fuel Administrator, in
announcing the complete program of
enforced conservation that will be put
into effect imnediately.
| Every industry that Is not turning
! out war supplies Will have to cut
! down on its consumption pro-rata:
some must either convert their facill-
ties to war production or cease oper-
alton; every public utility will be
affected; every hotel, office building,
theater and household will be COM
PEELED to enter upon a period of rigid
economy. The program will reach
ont only into the large factories using
thusands of tons of coal, but into
houses and hotels, which will be
ordered to cut down on such things
as the number Of electric light bulbs
in use.
OhIces Work I'm Harmony.

Offcial announcement was made
that the automobile industry will
receive only 25 per cent of its coal
for the 1918 output In spite of
declaration of the automobile men
to the contrary. Mr.. Noyes declared
that the conservation program will
force the manufacturers to curtail
their production IS per cent. This
tallies exactly with the purpose of
the War Industries Board, officials
Of which have stated positively that
the automobile men would receive
only rs per cent OF their steel re-
quirements. and possibly not that
much. The manufacturers are oper-
ating up to August 1 on a 10 per
cent basis; after that they must
agree to the War Industries Boards
idea or go without steel The Fuel
Administration will take care of
! the coal. An inspired story from
Detroit declared that the automo-
bile industry was not to be curtaiI-
ed and that "an irresponsible en-
ploye of the government" had made
the statement. The man who made
it is one who has a great deal of
power in the allotment Of steel The
automobilists also stated that they
had sufficient material to build be-
tween $4,000, 100000 and s30,0OO,-
100000 worth of automobiles.
When Mr.. Garfield was asked what
would be done II the government
learned that the manufacturers had
such a supply of steel, he said:

NAVL WORK PLEASES

By agreement with the Navy
Department, the Fuel Administra-
ton yesterday ordered the re-
sumption of the shipment of coal
by water from ports south oi
New Jersey to New England. The
barges and colliers will be con,
voyed by armed vessels, to points
where they will be able to escape
the U-boat menace by using the
inland waterways of the New Jer,
sey and Connecticut coasts.
The Navy Department again re-
fused to give credence to the per
sistent report that an American
warship got in one shot against a
U-boat in the act of submerging
Officials dismiss the report with
the cryptic statement There is
no evidence that we have sunk a
C-boat:" 1t is known, however,
that some officials are inclined to
the belief that the single shot
from the American warship was
a direct hit"
A navy official who has recent
ly returned from active duty with
the American fleet now operating
ing European waters, said:
"There is no reason for disap-
pointment in the inability of the
American ships off our coast to
find trace of the enemy undersea
craft. The field is much larger
in some respects, than that in
which we operated abroad. More
over, it is much easier to sink
U-boats when you are searching
for twelve than when you are
trying to locate two, assuming
that there are two on our coast
now"
No Explanation
American navy officers fyankly ad-
init that there Is no information
available to explain the ability Of a
German submarine to make a three
thousand-mfle trip to the American
coast, remain here for thirteen days
or more, and then have fuel supplies
sufficient to carry IL back to a Ger
man base. 1t Is admitted that a new
type Of engine may have been de-
veloped, or that new means of carry
ing great fuel stores may have been
perfected.
No satisfactory explanation has
ever been made Of the means by
which two German submarines left
German bases late in 1917 and re-
manned at sea for four months, eruis-
ing far south in the ship lanes leading
to South African ports. These two
ships sank ten out of twenty-eight
steamers attacked and sank four sail
ing vessels, using the torpedo metho
Of attack only once. In their 24O
days at sea they sank 5000 tons of
shipping.

Frightful Losses.
DEATH TRAP FOR FOE
Matz Valley, Where Center
Is Fighting, Shambles Of
Five Divisions.
By ERNEST p. ORR,

Staff Correspondent I. n. S.
Paris. June Io.-Battling with
unparalleled fury, the Germans
are throwing fresh divisions into
vain assaults on minor positions
not the main line of French de-
fenses, on the front between
Montdidier and the Oise. Ten and
twelve times these attacks were
repeated in the last twenty-four
hours, each time with the same re-
sult-frightful loss to the attack
ers.
The Mstz Valley, where the
German eenter is fighting, is prov
ing a death trap for the Teutonx.
The French, unsurpassed by yes
terday's offensive, lost no time
counter attacking with strong
forces. 1t was the enemy who
was surprised this time, for mani
festly he had not looked for sueh
a strong wall defense.
Five German divisions already
have had to be withdrawn because
of the terrific losses. The Ger
mans still are attacking SIX men
to one yard. All day yesterday
they were targets that could not
be missed.
French ARTILLERY Murdeross-
The French prevented two Germsa
divisions from reaching the jumping
on places which they were franticaliy
trying TO capture. Those two divls-
ions had TO be retired before being
actually engaged IN hand to Eand
fighting, so murderous was the
