Company Officials.A compromise between the tele-

Phone company and the public In thematter of increased rates if advisedin the report of Jesse C. Crawford,adopted at the meeting of the jpsu-e ration of Citizens' Associations lastnight in the District Building. Mr.CrawfbrdL as chairman of the publicutilities committee, represented thefederation at the recant rats hearingsbefore the Public Utilities Commis¬sion.Mr. Crawford said that the follow¬

ing disclosures had been made at thehearing:"First.That the local company, is

a subsidiary of a foreign corporationto which it pays 41-2 per cent of itsearnings for certain contract privi¬leges. engineering advice, etc."

"Second.The Increased utilisationof the telephone since the beginningof the war and the company's in¬ability t© keep a sufficient force oftrained operators are alleged by therorapany as being responsible forpresent conditions. threatening a

complete breakdown in its service."Third.That for a long period

of time, and until about a year ago,the company conducted an exten¬sive campaign both by expensiveadvertising and by installation oftelephones for periods as high assix months, without charge, encour¬aging both the extension and theutilization of the telephone as aconservator of labor and a meansof increased efficiency."Fourth.That by the company's

own count recently made in one ofthe loeal exchanges for a shortperiod of time, the average callingrate on umlimited residence phoneswas found to be far below whati* known to be the calling rate forsimilar classes ot service in othercities."A motion was passed by the fed¬

eration giving Mr. Crawford power10 act on his own initiative in fur¬ther proceedings at the rate bear-ins:. and to file a brief as a repre¬sentative of the federation.

cross over into Egypt and steal thatcountry from the British. The Mo¬hammed-taught religion was to besupreme, the Kaiser.blackheartedcut.was to be 'protector of thefaith' of Mohammed."But they didn't count on the

United States getting into thisthing in the interest of humanity.We recognised thig isn't an econ¬omic war. as the Kaiser wouldhave us believe. It's an out andout battle against Christianity thatthreatens the very Cross of Chris¬tianity itself as well as the Starsand Stripes. The mask ha« beentorn off: the 'divine right' doctrineof the Kaiser originated, not inheaven, as he tries to make us be¬lieve, tout in helL

Mnnd by Government."Our government is in conflict with

I this 'divine right' theory and it be¬hooves you knockers about the gov¬ernment policies and about the warand its causes to get busy quickly andshow the loyalty and patriotism that'sneeded everywhere throughout theland today to drive back the advanceof that God-forsaken bunch defilersof the faith."The evangelist declared that tho.

Monroe Doctrine must remain a livingforce today, "if we want to protectour country.""And," he added, "it will stand for¬

ever unsoiled if it takes every-dropof blood in this country to saveAmerica.**"Stop your knocking and wake up.

The Cross of Christ is at stake.Christianity is being assaulted. Let'spledge ourselves to defend it withevery drop of blood in our bodies.Down forever with the Star and Cres¬cent and up with the Stars andStripes."The applause that greeted Billy

after his strenuous denunciations wasdeafening. It lasted fully five min¬utes. When he had finished theevangelist asked every person in thebig audience who would get behindthe fight "for God and country" tostand up. There wasn't a vacantseat in the tabernacle.

Volre Better.Billy's "war talk" came at the

close of his regular sermon, whichpictured the "faultlessness ofChrist." He had announced pre¬viously that he would explain thewar causes, but it wasn't until hehad finished the last sentence In hissermon that he broke loose in his»anti-German tirade.Former Governor Polk, of Mis¬

souri, sat on the platform andloudly applauded Billy. There waspresent also a delegation of Frenchsoldiers and they, too. cheeredlustily.When the "trail hitting'* invita¬

tion was extended, a batch of sold¬iers were among the first of the-300 to walk the trails. GovernorFolk came into the press box andremarked that the "trail hitting"was "wonderful."One of the "trail hitters" was a

young woman reporter on a Wash¬ington newspaper, who walked downfrom the press box to shake theevangelist's hand.

trators in Indiana. Illinois, Ohio andother Mississippi Valley States con¬tained the information that 'this partof the country is getting warm.' Thiswas taken to mean that quantities ofcoal held back by reason of the con¬gested condition of the railroads werenow getting through to consignees."

Results Achieved Quickly.Dr. Garfield, it is stated, hit the

crux of the situation within forty-eight hours of the Issuance of hisorder, in spite of the protests thathave concentrated on him fromvarious directions.While there is relief in the East,

the situation is bad in the Middlewest. New snowstorms have con¬gested that whole region. The lo¬cal and State administrators havereceived orders to do all they canto get coal into the tled-up cities.But the Fuel Administration seeshope even in this situation, as itwill back somewhat the movementof coal into the East and thus givea few days in which to ease the sit¬uation along the coast.

Dr. Garfield issued a new orderyesterday, making also a fuellessTuesday. This will apply to thea¬ters and other places of amusement.It is done partly because the the¬aters appealed to be allowed to keepgoing the old custom of Monday asthe opening night; and partly toafford places of amusement for thethousands of persons who will beput out of their factories and otherworking places on Mondays. If thetheaters were closed Monday theirlist of patrons necessarily would becut down. So now, besides the.Bresent periods of auspension, therewill be fuelless Mondays for gen¬eral observance and fuelless Tues¬days for amusement enterprises upto March 26. The new order alsoincludes cabarets.

Mr. Tmanrtty laterveaes.Dr. Garfield's change in the ruling

with reference to theaters wasmade largely through the influenceof Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary tothe President, and was looked uponaa psychologically the most effec-JHfJUMSS SlK' ProPWygfrM

attempting: to stir trouble and dia-senslon.Mr. Tumulty suggested that grant¬

ing: the theaters' requqest for thechange from Monday to Tuesday asclosing day would be* granting nomore than was considerate In viewof the fact that the theaters hadlent themselves freely for the fur¬thering: of the liberty loans and allother war funds. To close thedoora on Monday, when everyonewas out of work, would meangroups on the corners and every¬where protesting:. With the mov¬ies open, the crowds will have placesto go to for entertainment, and noone around tiie Fuel Administra¬tion can be found who will admitthat he does not go to the movies.Mr. Tumulty's suggestions were ap¬proved by the President and thensubmitted to Dr. Garfield. |The order says that cabaret shows

(where fuel is required to heatrooms in which liquor is sold),must be closed.Reports are coming In.particu*

larly from Boston.that cabaretplaces are planning to circumventthe order by having liquqor soldiand served in unheated rooms, or Iin rooms adjacent to the cabarets.Such action, it is pointed out bythe Fuel Administration, will re¬sult in a violation of the spirit ofthe order and will result in thefuture in drawing such restrictionsso tight that there can be no eva¬sion.

Praise for Patriot*. .

Administrator Garfield cent the fol-lowing telegram to all State Fuel Ad-ministrators in connection with theenforcement of the regulation curtail¬ing the industrial use of coal:"Will you kindly give public expres¬

sion of my appreciation of the publicspirited and patriotic action of em- |ployers In the State who may deter-mine to pay the wages of their em- |ployes during the suspension period Ispecified In the regulation of January |17. They are bearing their share ofthe sacrifices? which we are called upon |to make to the common good."In common with others concerned.

Cabinet officials who had not been con- isuited before the Garfield order wentinto effect, permitted their ruftledfeelings to subside somewhat, and ef-forta were made to minimize the dif-

! ferencea of opinion that had develop-'| ed among: the presidents advisers. Itwaa specifically denied at the WhiteHouse that any resignations were iforthcoming.

CLOSE DOORSOF ALL STORESIN WASHINGTON

Administrator J. L. WeaverAuthorizes £. J. Colum¬

bus to Issue Edict.Resolved to aland Arm behind the

fuel administrator, John L. Weaver,authorisation wai last night givenCharles J. Columbus, secretary of theRetail Merchants* Association, by thefuel administrator and merchant* ofWashington to Issue the followingstatement:Washington stores wfll.be closed to¬

morrow as a mark of patriotism inresponse to the order of the Federal

Administrator, and to furtherhelp out in the conservation move¬ment there will be no deliveries fromthe retail stores to their customerson Monday.The closing of the stores is, how¬

ever, the purpose of the National FuelAdministrator's order. >>This is the latest information from

Fuel Administrator John L. Weaver,who has requested me to make thispublic.It is in consonance with the inter¬

pretation of the order that has beensent out from the National Fuel Ad¬ministration, and Is understood to bethe result of suggestions that havebeen made to the Fuel Administrationfrom all over the country.Merchants are warned that the max¬

imum amount of heat in any storeor part thereof must not be morethan forty degrees. This is Juat a

few degrees above freezing, and isthe official temperature that has beenprescribed by the Fuel Administrator,and which will be enforced by the ad¬ministrator's order in the stores ofthe National Capital in this emer¬

gency.Stores that secure heat from out¬

side plants or those located in hotelsor residences are expected to shutoff the heat and close doors enteringthe heated portion of the building.In view of the emphasis on the

words "prevent freexing" as appliedto store temperatures for Monday, Iam distinctly of the opinion that thelogical thing to do is for the storesto close. The express desire of thegovernment, headed by President Wil¬son. will thus be practically observed,and the efficiency of the Fuel Ad¬ministration's conservation plan there¬fore have a practical and real Amer¬ican try-out.Keep the stores closed Monday and

show your patriotism.There will be no deliveries. Divert

your trucks to the relief of the freightsituation.
