FUEL CRISIS CALLS FOR DES
PERATE REMEDY.
Wednesday evening United .States
Fuel Administrator Garfield issued
a far-reaching order to relieve the
fnel famine. Tho order ia made un
der the provisions of the Lever Food
Control bill and ia approved by tlie
President and Secretaries Baker and
Daniels. It provides for the closing
down of many manufacturing plants
and other businesses for live days be
ginning at 12 O'clock tonight and
for a suspension of business of the
concerns affected for each Monday
thereafter up to and including
March 25th, except they may use
sufficient fuel to prevent damage by
Ineiing.
The order further provides that
.fnel will be furniahed the' following
in order named, to-wit, railroads,
honaeholds, hospitals, charitable in
stitutions, army and navy camps,
public utilities, strictly government
enterprises, public buildings, facto
ries producing foods foj immediate
consumption, and it a'pplies to all
States East of the Miasissippi. A
severe penalty la provided for the
non-observance 'of the order.
The step Is drasftc, but the situ-
I ation in fuel had grown acute and
the desperate situation called for
a desperate remedy.
Wherever the order can be modi
fied in justice to all concerned, and
eondltlans will permit, modifica
tions Will no doubt be mude.
NAVY IN GOOD SHAPE.
Without mentioning the name of
the Secretary of the Navy Jose
phua Daniel* in n report b.v a ape
daily appointed committee by Con*
great to investigate the progress of
equipment and preparation of thi*
department for war, the committee
found that the work had gone for
ward with wonderful rapidity.
Nothing, it seem*, wax found to
criticise, but there w»» a sum
ming up of the many ac
complished, which showed the Na
v; to be in a /moat satisfactory
condition and u revelation to the
committee.
Two to three year* a;|o a certain
mag a line publiahed articles full of
Violent attack* against the Sccre
• tary of the Navy, charging incom
petence and all aorta of things det
rimental to the g?od name and
fame of the Secretary. It Is grati
fying tq note that Secretary Dan
iela had the presence of mind to
■ay nothing to If!* truducers, but
kept his own counsel and pushed
hla department to efficiency.
ENCOURAGING.
A dispatch from London yester
day Bays there had boon a marked
decrease in sinkings of merchant
men by mine or submarine the
past week. The report says «yily
aix merchantmen of over 1,000
tons and two uuder 1,600 tons and
two flailing vessels were sunk.
The week previous there were
eighteen, three and four, respec
tively, of each class sunk, and for
tho week ending January 2 there
were 21—18 of them ovor 1,000
tons.
This iaan encouraging situation
but it may not continue. The
weather may have had much to do
with submarine activity, but it is
hoped the worst of it is past, as
preparations for successful)) com
batting the submarine are being
ateadily enlarged and improved
by America and her allies.
Some, no doubt, will charge the
•cute fuel situation up to the
Government's tnking over the
operation of the railroads, but
what about the severost weather
in twenty years aud the abnormal
demands upon the railroads on
•eoonnt of the war V
Peace parlying is still going on
between Russia and Germauy with
no definite ends reached.
Cold wnather haa gripped the
war fronts and military opera
tions are practically at a stand-
"TAGjT OUR-SHOVEL DAY."
Fuel Administration Urges Saving of
Goal—The Reason.
Greensboro—January, 30th has
been set/*iitl!& *» NAtional "Tag-
Your-^hovel-Day" by „ the United
States fuel administration. On that |
day school children will tie taga
bearing Instructions for £oal saving
to every coal shovel in the country,
the purpose of this being to remind
each man, woman and child, who
uses a coal shovel that every
shovelful of coal saved means Just
so much additional power and
health and support for the Ameri
can soldier and sailor on the firing
Une.
"Any worthy cause which enlists
the sympathy of the children is
already half cwon," says Fuel Ad
ministrator McAllster. "Their en
thuslams and eagerness is sponta
neous and catching. When the 21,-
000,000 school children of the United
States start to spread the word of
fuel economy throughout the coun
try, we may be sure that it will
be spread. It is only sane opti
mist to believe that practically
every eoal shovel in the country
will be tagged, and the message of
conservatim thus carried will hard
ly be lightly regarded or forgot
ten." m-
UnitcdStates Fuel Administrator,
Harry A. Oarfield. in a recent state
ment stressing the importance of
"Tug-YOur-Shovel Day," said
"The United -tfrati-a is mining a
record breaking amount of coal in
an attempt to supply the record
breaking demanJ caused by the
war. Coal is the great force >:••
hind the men In the trenches; be
hind the battleship, the transports
the munition factories and the rail
roads.
The war demands a hitherto un
heard of amount of coal. The fue
administration is doing itn utmosi
to supply the emergency demand.'
Through the adjustment of labor
troubles at the mine the increase oI
of the available number of coal
car# and the speeding up of coal
transportation,the fuel administra
tion is endeavoring to supp.'.v army
and navy needs and keep factories
running and homes warm.
"The miners are doin£ their part
to aid the fuel administration in
it* tack. v They are mining more
coal than ever before. The over
burdened railroads are grappling
with the problem of transporting
this unuual |uantity of coal, in
addition to the great amount o.'
war freight which is congesting
their lines.
"As a reult of all theße efforts
an extra million car loads of coal
have been mined this year. Thil
is 50,000 000 tons more coal than has
ever been mined before in any year
in the history of the l.'nlted States.
"We need another million car
loads. It is a physical Impossi
bility to produce thl* additional
amount at once. It must be saved
from the coal already available.
"The American people are asked
to do their port In this emergency
by saving shovelful by shovelful in
factory und home this additional
coal for war needs, and this is the
reason for "Ta{-Your-Shovel Day.

Ambassador Francis Stood Off Rus
sian Mob.
Speaking in St. Louis Saturday,
Chas. 11. Crane of the Americm
mission to lltissht, told how Ameri
can Ambassador Francis stood at
the door of the American embassy
in Petrograd and stood off a Rus
sian mob with a pistol. The in
cident occurrd months ago but has
not heretofore been published.
Mr. Crane said that a mob, be
lieving that a man named Muni
(in reality Mooney, the San Fran
cisco dynamite suspect), was to be
executed in this couutry, started
for the American embassy.
Petrograd authorities warned
the ambassador by telephone that
the mob was approaching. Guests
begged him to flee with them, but
he refused, said Mr. Crane. Mr.
Francis told a negro servant to
get a revolver. With this weapon,
the ambassador met the mob at
the door.
"Your government is going to
hang Muni, and we
are going to cleau out the Ameri
can embassy," said the leaders.
"No you are not"! replied Am
bassador Francis. "This is Ameri
can soil and I will kill the lirst
man who crosses the lino."
Mr. Crane said the mob then
dispersed. He said he heard the
noise at the embassy, and arrived
there just as the crowd went away.
From the negro servant, Mr. Crane
learned the details.

NO "DEMANDS" OR STRIKES
NEARLY ALL CLASSES OF ORGAN
IZED RAILROAD LABOR TO\
MAKE REQUEBTB.
Many Pending Wage Disputes Will Be
Traneferred to Government —Many
Rate Revisions Will Soon Become
Neceesary.
Washington.—Hither wages will be
asked of the railroad adminißt-ation
soon by nearly all classes of organized
railroad labor/ It was learned that
many pending wage disputes will be
transferred Jto the government from
railway execuUve's' boards, and In oth
er cases new demands will be formu
lated for presentation to Director Gen
eral McAdoo, who pubbably will deal
with them through Investigation
boards.
Strikes are not contemplated by any
organization. It Is said, and wage ques
tions will not be put up to the direc
tor general as demands. Railroad la
bor leaders are represented as not
seeking to take advantage of govern*
ment operation to press for more pay,
but rather as pointing out the neces
sity of wage Increases to keep em
ployes from being attracted to other
Industries.
Up to the present, the only general
demands for wage increases consid
ered by Director General McAdoo are
those presented by the four railway
brotherhoods and the switchmen's
unloji, whose president, S. E. Heber
ling, conferred with Mr. McAdoo. The
brotherhoods' rase will be investiga
ted by a board of four to be named
by the director general, and he also
may ask this body to Inquire into the
switchmen's demand, which now is be
ing considered by a committee of rail
road executives reprelentlng all roads.
The director general announced that
ha expected to name railroad directors
for certain sections of country to as
sist him In administering government
operation, but said he had not deter
mined how many would be appointed
nor what territory each director would
supervise. It Is considered probable,
however, that not more than six or sev
en will be named. Mr. McAdoo said
specifically that he did not plan to
name state directors. Thousands ol
applications for positions as state rail
road supervisors have been received
within the past few days.

C. S. Pritchett Tells How He Was
Delivered From Terrible Stomach
Pains, and Kidney Disorder.
Thousands of men and women
have stomach trouble and don't
know it. They pay little or no
attention toSj the small warning
signals which come lo them after
every meal—that heavy, uneasy
feeling, flight gas formation in
the stomach, acid risings, and
other symptoms which gradually
grow worse as time wears on until
finally, the victim finds himself in
the grasp of that most common of
all humau ailments, Indigestion.
This, even with the best of care,
is likely to develop inlo kidney
complaint, constipation, rheuma
tism, liver trouble and other seri
ous ills.
"I am a painter," says C. S.
Pritchett of 700 North Graham
street, Charlotte. "For a long
time I suffered from iudigestion
which soon spread to my bowels
and kidneys. My stomach seemed
to bloat with gas until the pain
was almost unbearable. Then I
became costive and was forced to
take powerful laxatives. But all
■ny troubles are over now because
I have found a medicine that has
corrected all these faults. It's!
name is Dreco. I am no longer
troubled with that gassy, bloated
feeling and the pains in my stom
ach are gone. My bowels now
have a regular normal action.
Formerly I had to get up during
the night as mauy as 8 or 10 times
to relieve my kidneys, but Dreco
has stopped that.
'•I now sleep sound and well
and don't have that drowsy feel
ing mornings. I now eat many
things that I couldn't before.
"1 had 'Painters Colic' often
hut since taking Dreco that never
bothers me.
"I gained 10 pounds iu weight.'
Mr. Pritchett is a prominent
member of the First/ Baptist
Church of Charlotte and is well
and favorably known among his
large acquaintanceship. He is
most enthusiastic in hiß praise of
the new herbal medicine, Dreco,
and urges all his friends to try it.
Dreco is sold by almost every
good druggist aad is strongly
