Fuel Administrator Garfield yesterday gave an exhibition | of bureaucratic Incompetency unequalled in the history of this Government when he issued his order shutting down the, industries of the United States to conserve coal and reduce) railway congestion. | The Government has had ample warning of the crowding | conditions, but instead of exerting itself to remedy them by) energy and intelligence, it accentuated the problem by. hurling special consignments at the railroads, taking no| steps to remove the accumulations at terminals or to stop, the flow. | Now that its entanglement is complete it seeks a rem-! edy, not in increasing exertion, but by choking the country. The President should rescind the order and remove the} man who issued it. He should lose no time, if he Is to save} the Nation from calamity beyond measurement. Power without limit has been given to the Administra-| tion. Public willingness has been unstinted in support of every need. In return, the people have a right to expect help, not hindrance, victory over obstacles, not surrender to them, | Never before have a free people so fully surrendered their, cherished ‘iberties, disregarded their sacred traditions, to} meet the needs of the hour. The result is bitter and unde- served. | Our allies must stand aghast at this breakdown. What will be thought of a nation entering the most gigantic war! in all time as a deciding factor which cannot withstand the} mishaps caused by ten days of misplaced weather? { ica pases It is to laugh—in Berlin! FIX STANDARDS FOR KNITTERS. OBODY needs to be reminded how many American women are diligently knitting sweaters, socks, helmets, etc., for soldiers and sailors, ‘The War and Navy Departments Indorse the appeals of the Red} Cross for certain types of knitted woolen garments that add greatly | to the winter comfort of the nation’s fighters at the front, on ea and | in camp. - Why, then, can there not be a clear and definite understanding as to the way such articles should be knit? Why not consult the soldiers and sailors themselves as to whether they prefer tight or loose knit garments? Why leave questions of this sort to the varying taste or discre- tion of well-meaning but opinionated ladies who preside over knitting! circles and muke rules for knitters? : ‘They are not going to wear the sweaters and helmets, Th sir| first aim should be to meet the requirements of the men who are! going to wear them. There would appear to be a quite needless amount of doubt, dis- couragement and heartache among knitters owing to tho fact that! one knitter is continually being told by other knitters that her wool is constant nagging of | Kean CAN aa glass 100K | fluently. “Well, I eare, for 1 have all|Jarr say, And be was dimly con- too large or too small or not the right kind, and that she knits too! > the man as to the}say: “How do I measure up in com-|the trouble with you when you aro|sclous that ho was being divested of . } Seomtapereiae Cho mistake made] purison to the woman who made on® | sick, And I suppose you'll be as cross|his shoes and stockings, and that tight or too louse (according as the fault-finder has been taught to} yy tne wite 14 almost unbelicvadie TARR COU CAre T Ser A ftanderd las w beur and refuse to take anything |Gertrude, the faithful family retainer, knil herself). ‘Aad now comes o letter trom alinyselt?’ oe 1 want you to!” | ae aeeistiog Bre.

Gen. Burnside commanded the Union “Army of the Potomac.” The leadership of that crack Union force was a pitfall which broke the neck of more than one lofty military reputation, for as soon as one com~- mander proved himself unable to make good against the Confederates ho was deposed and bis job was given to another man, Generats who had done brilliant service 1n minor positions were put in charge of the Army of the Po-" tomac one after another, only to score more oF less” slastly failures and to be removed. | Just now—in January of 1863—it was Burnetde’s turn to realize how other men tn his own predicament had felt. He had been outfought and out~ generalled at Fredericksburg by the Confederates under Lee and Stonewall Jackson. The War Department was dissatisfied with his work. Unless ho could win a strikingly brilllant success—and win It mighty quickly--he was slated for removal from command. ‘Tho Army of the Potomac lay at one alde of the ice-edged Rappahannock, River, Along tho other side was the Confederate army. Hoth guarded foulously the fords and bridges of the river to prevent attack, The Ume was mid-winter—a season when wholesale military oper- ations were not to be expected. It was on this detatl of uaexpectedness that Burnside relied, in a stupen dously daring plan that hoe now made, to suvo his leadership, Me learned that Banks's Ford (about five miles above Fredérickebursy was defended by a mere handful of Confederates. Ho decided to move the main body of bis army secretly und swiftly to this point, cross the ford, end, \by hurried marches, to fall upon Lee's left flank before the Confederate {commander should have time to prepare for so audacious a move. +" Suddenness and total unexpectedness were tho qualities most needed te make this attack a success. Victory might well mean the routing of the qhole Southern army and the restoring of Burnside’s shaky prestige, ‘The ford, in wipter, was too deep to be waded, #o Burnside ordered up a set of twenty pontoons to bridge it for his advancing army, Jan, 20 was the date set for the great mianocuvre, A Union division had been sent several miles downstream to make @ pretended effort to cross the river at another point, and thus to prevent the Conefderates from suspecting an aty tack at Banks's Ford. The roads were hard frozen, so that the heaviest ar- tillery could be moved over thom with ease, ct secrecy was main- Everything seemed favorable for Burnside’s venture. The night of Jan, 20 was to be passed in bringing the pontoons to the ford, in placing them {n position and in massing the army for crossing the river at dawn, ‘Then, at dusk, just as the work began, tho January thaw set tn. Up went the temperature with a jump. Down came the rain in tor- rents, By dawn of the 2ist the Rappahannock was no longer a mere creek put a wide, and raging river, Tho flinty ground all around it was turned into a trackless swamp, waist-deep in soft mud, There were only fifteen pontoons at the river edge. ‘The remaining five, needful to span the stream, were « 4 mile or two away. An attempt was made to load them. on wagons and” bring them up, | ? the hubs {n mud and etuck there, calssons. Tho infantry waded above thelr knees tr down. Through the downpour of warm rain the teamsters worked like slaves” to move the pontoons. It was no use. For nearly two days the futile labor continued. By this time all chance of secrecy was gone. The Confederate {pickets on the far side of the stream sat down and roared with laughter at sight of their focs' hopeless efforts. One of them yelled jeeringly acroas- the flood: “Stick to tt, Yanks! Wi you build your pretty bridge Tho great plan was a dismal failure. “Stuck in the Mud.” The wagons sank to So did the artillery ime. The horses bogged jen the rain lets up we'll come across and help Burnside gave up the useless project, and he accepted with stately resignation his almost tnstant removaf | from command, ‘Bachelor Girl Reflections By Helen Rowland a 918, by tho Prvse Publishing Co, (The New York Prcuiog World), OMETIMES the sweetest kiss is the one you didn't take.
