THE ORDER TO STOP CONSUMPTION OF FUEL..
The stopping of fuel consumption for five dals, by Administrator Gar
field, has treated an alarming condition. The people were not prepared
for such a Grast:c ordei. Jaut this is no time to criticise or in any way
hamper ihe :,roceeus by wohich the war is to be won. It is presumed that
a man of the intceligence of Mr. Garrield has considered every result of the
order and fully realizes the effect it will have upon business and every
distres.ing consequetnce of a strict conforjnance to it. This conception
of his undo rstanding is still further emphasized by the fact that the strong
opposition in the Senate in nowise dot rred him from carrying out his
plan for relieving the fuel situation.
But wbhile it is the duty of every C.tizen to give aid and support to war
imeasures, it will not prevent inquiry in:o the causes that make such ex
tremne measures necessary. If there has been manipulation or specula
tion in coal it is bound to be inves..iga.ed. If there is mismanagement
of transportation or a poor handling o: facilities, the people will know
it and will in.,st that heals of departments shall understand their busi
ness--shall be properly qualilicd.
The order to step con:umption of fuel may he absolutely necessary, but
the provisions of that order .:hould be clear and precise so that unneces
sary hardship may xIt be incurred. What fuel is should be delined.
We have a manufacturing plant in Covigton that uses its waste wood for
fuel, yet it is undecided whether it may run or not, 'notwithstanding its
closing would mean a large loss. The St. Tammany Ice and ilanufactur
ing Company closed down at 12 o'clock, yet it uses wood for fuel and is
not required under the order to shut down at all. All the inconvenience
to users of electric power could have been prevented by a perfectly clear
definition, although it takes some stretch of the imagination to include
such public utility in the order. There are uncertainties in the order,
however, that should have ,been clearly defined.
We believe the people will stand solidly behind anything the Govern
ment may find it necessary to do to win the war, and that they winl take
their medicine without complaint, but on the other hand they will require
that unnecessary deprivation shall not occur.
The question of whether automobiles and other fuel consumers in com
mon use should be included or under what conditions excluded does not
seem settled.

I)iscitssion of American Troops.
And on foreign affairs:
S "Petit Parisien informs us that
live American divisions, numbering
125,000 mon, may be expected in
France in the autumn of 1917. It
is urgently requested not to produce
this information without some com
ment. We do not wish to underesti
mate the ability of America to ac
complish things, but must not, on
n the other hand, overestimate it. In
order to bring a division over from
America 75,000 tons must make the
trip twice. Therefore, from the
mere fact of lack of space the trans
portation of such a body of troops
within certain fixed limits is im
possible. Moreover, it is impossible
to train these troops properly by
autumn. These facts which have
recently been discussed in the Ger
man war news can not be too strong
ly emphasized in the discussion of
d that French news.
"The press has often 'been request
ed to omit the sensational puiblica
tion of unimportant reports or re
e spectively reports capable of misin
' terpretation.
"Urgent cause exists to point out
that it can be, on the other hand,
often important and right to give
- events and reports their proper
nr meaning through due emphasis.

1- lish theft of cipher telegram in the

no wise sufficiently stigmatized."

utterly failed on all fronts, that the
entente has no alternative but to at

statesmen are still against peace.
The other reason (a further reason)
for haste is the continually increas

is very dependent on water (the sea)
for its forwarding, the freight space
intended for the civil population
must be added to those transports.
In one of the future lsrmes it might

view to her (Russia's) continuing

The question about the secret
agreements between Russia and her

Governments try to frustrate the ef
fect of all pu'blications bearing upon
the agreements with all the mean3 at
their disposal, in order that their
people may not learn the war aims
and the reasons why they were egged
on into the war. Theer is no doubt
as to the existence of such secret

people will ultimately demand of
their governments the publication of

Take America "Sedously."
Pr. II-80+50.
While the news about America's
wiar preparations, such , as the or
'ganizaltion and outfitting of an army
of 1,000,000 strong to reinforce the
French-English front, is looked uop
on, in that form, as "bluff," the
spreading of which may unfavorably
affect the opinion of the German peo
ple, yet the fact must not be over
looked, on the other hand, that the
United States, with the support of its
capacity for material and industrial
management, is arming itself for war
with great energy and tenacity. The
war preparations iii America are
therefore, as was 'Intmated In the
Reichstag at the time, not at all to
'be made little of, but must be taken
seriously without on that account
being made a source of worry.
A few days ago the Austro-Hun
garian press was left free to discu's
the war aims. We can unreservedly
indorse the war aims given out in
the majority of the Austro-Hungari
an press. Of course the fully war

alms which are needed for the con
servation and development of the

ordinary degree into the discussion
of political (points, ,particularly those

it is, therefore, asked that it be left
out of all talk on political matter,
and abetter still, not to mention it at
