U.S. OFFERS NEW CERTIFICATES TO AID WAR FUND Four Per Cent, to Be Paid on Government Indebted ness Bonds.. An unusual opportunity was of fered to-day to banks, corporations and individuals with means by the If. S. government to buy federal certificates of indebtedness, with an interest of 4 per cent a year and due June 25, 1918. The tlmelmens O!' these new certificates as pointed out to-day by bankers of HarrhiburS is that they fall due just at the period when the federal taxes must be paid. In addition to helping the government therefore the buyer will have cash at hand to meet his taxes. The smallest denomination >s SSOO and the largest SIOO,OOO. The cer tificates may be secured/ through any bank. The government is greatly concerned in this issue for upon its success depends somewhat the starting of the next Liberty Bond campaign. Th'e more Uncle Sam gets from this issue the less there will be to sell in the Liberty Bond drive. These certificates will be exempt, both as to principal and interest from all taxation now or hereafter imposed by the United States, any state or any of the possession of the United States, or by any local taxing authority, except (a) estate or in heritance taxes, and (b) graduated additional income taxes, commonly known as surtaxes, and excess profits and war profits taxes now or here after imposed by the United States upon income or profits of individuals, partnerships, associations or cor porations.

Shipyards were not named In or-, ders, but will continue to operate under the special ruling, as will vir tually all ore-pftnlucing mines. There will be no more general exemptions, it was announced, except over the. signatures of Secretaries Baker and Daniels. Libei al Interpretations, how ever, will be given to rules applying to raw material. Agents nt I'ortH Backed by vigorous defense of the President, who yesterday gave his full support to the closing order as imperative to release coal to move supplies to the American Army and the allies. Dr. Garfield to-day gave his attention to the situation at At lantic ports. Fuel Administration agents have been sent to seaboard points and will remain there until all ships held up are hunkered. Imme diate improvement in the situation Is expected and more than a million tons of shipping detained would be on its way in a short time. I'reMlilent Approve* Order Confronted by President Wilson's statement that the order was issued with his full knowledge and approval iind by another explanation from Dr. Garfield declaring that the railroad congestion is threatening the food supply, vigorous opposition in Con gress apparently has spent itself. On instructions from Director Gen eral McAdoo to co-operate with the fuel administration, railroad officials set about directing coal shipments to the preferred class of shipping in terests. householders, hospitals, pub lic utilities and others whom the r.rder does not affect. Suggestions that a railroad embargo be placed on shipment of goods from factories shut down was overruled by the director general. Few violations have been noted by fuel administrators, and these. It was said, were due to misunderstandings. In some cases even state fuel admin istrators have not understood the order. Dr. Garfield said it would be easy for plants to evade instructions, but lie believed there would be few such cases. Be intimated, however, that violations would be dealt with vigorously under the food law and the coal supply of offending plants would bo cut off.

It Is not the idea for the young men to give up their schooling or other work in which they are engaged, but they simply agree .to hold themselves in readiness should their services be 1 needed before the close of the war. E. J. King, a student at the col lege, ivas the first young man to' sign up for the unit and It is said there are at least twenty boys front the Academy who have signified their Intention of joining. Those in charge would like to secure about one hundred and fifty members in the unit.—J. S.

To-day U. S. marshals and police aided the administrators in detecting violators of the rules and warnings were issued that prompt prosecutions would follow all arrests. Office buildings generally operated to-day, but heat was reduced to a minimum and elevator service greatly curtailed. Labor officials report thai probably eighty per of the workers.in.the city will lose their pay during the Idle period.

Mines Should Reach Maximum Production During Coming Week Washington, Jan. 19. Reports to the fuel administration to-day showed transportation congestion throughout the east being cleared and bunker coal being unloaded In increasingly large quantities. Few empty cars, however, have begun to move back yet to the coal mines. Enough bunker coal will reach the docks within the next three or four days It was said to supply all ships now awaiting for fuel. Bunker ing, however, depends largely on handling facilities after the coal is unlouded on the docks. A Week's Delay Fuel administrators predicted that it would be at least a week before the coal mines began to receive enough empty cars to keep produc tion at a maximum. Confusion re sulting from diversion of coal at destinations is slowing up the move ment of empty cars back to the mine districts. It was made clear industries pro ducing materials on which munul tions plants are depemfent are ex cepted from provisions of the clos ing order. This permits operation of virtually all mines producing metals and ore. The fuel administration to-day ruled that lumber producing con cerns working on orders for the Emergency Fleet Corporation and for the aircraft production board are exempt. Fuel administration officials said the tone of telegrams coming was entirely different from those of yes terday and that most of them elthe'r approved the government's action or expressed willingness to co-operate. Four More Smallpox Cases Are Reported Four new cases of smallpox have been reported to-day to the office of Dr. Samuel G. Dixon. State Commis sioner of Health.

The Governor commended the' ac tion of the saloonkeepers of Union town in agreeing to close their places on the designated days and on re ceipt of a telegram That there were iIO.OOO aliens in Cambria county, tele graphed to Judge Francis J. O'Connor at KbensUurg, urging that some ac tion toward closing' saloons on the days be taken. Similar telegrams were sent other judges and men who had wired the Governor on the sub ject of closing saloons. Cut I'ansrnKer Train* In response to a telegram from Ohio asking views regarding reduction of t;ain service. Governor Brumbaugh replied that he favored a drastic sus pension for a period of passenger traffic to release engines to haul coal, suggesting that only, national needs, public business and the mails be the exceptions. "Use passenger engines to move the coal to harbors nnd hemes. The people should every where be loyally submissive," said he. The letter of the Governor to Dr. Garfield was "Pennsylvania always loyal and steadfast to national wills, begs in a most trying situation to give you, from its best-informed citi zens, the consensus of opinion con cerning effect of the order which the newspapers report you have issued af fecting the industries in the country east of the great river. I am, there fore, making bold to send you here with the views in full of many of the FOOD SHORTAGE MOVED GARFIELD [Continued from First Pnffo.] The President's Defense of Garfield 1 wa(. of course, consulted by Mr. Garfield before the fuel order of Thursday was issued and fully agreed with lilni that it was neces sary, much as I regretted the ne cessity. Tills war calls for many sacrifices, and sacrltlees of the sort called for by tills order are Infin itely less than sacrltlees of life which might otherwise he in volved. It is absolutely necessary to get the ships away, it is abso lutely necessary to relieve the con gestion at the ports and upon the railways, it. is absolutely neces sary to move great quantities of food and it is absolutely nec essary that our people should be warmed In their homes If no where else, and half-way measures would not have accomplished the tleslred ends. If action such as this had not been taken we should have limped along from day to day, with a slowly improving condition of af fairs with regard to the shipment of food and of coal, but without such Immediate relief as had be come absolutely necessary because of the congestions of traffic which have been piling up for the last few months. I have every confidence that the result of action of this sort will justify it and that the people of the country will loyally and pa triotically respond to necessities nf this kind as they have to every other sacrifice involved in the war. We are upon a war footing and T am confident that the people of the United States are willing to observe the same sort of discipline that might be involved in the ac tual conflict itself. and patriotic impulses and the calm look ahead will lead the country to approve of the order now In force. "Industry is in an unbalanced con dition. We lack many essentials — food, clothing, fuel. Wo have piled up enormous stores of things not es sential to life, but very essential to war. We have piled up so high on our docks and in our storehouses that the ships available cannot carry them away as fast as they pale up. For lack of bunker coal held back by traffic congestion, the number of ships in our harbors increases men acingly. "The food supply Is threatened to an even greater degree than the fuel supply. This condition is in large part due to the congestion that at many points holds the loaded cars In its grip. "To single out industries not en gaged to some extent in war manu facture is to select industries which in the aggregate will bring relief only If suspended indefinitely. To require all industries except a comparatively small part to cease for a few days quickly accomplishes the desired re sult and permanently injuries none. The order as it stands puts all in dustry on an equal footing, favoring none and avoiding unfair competi tion, but this reason alone is not suf ficient. This reason, plus the fact that that the order will put coal in the empty bins of the people will save coal, will aid in breaking up conges tion of traffic and in furnishing an adequate supply of coal to the peo ple who need it and to the ships which cannot sail without it—these are sufficient reasons and justify the order. War Industries Operate "Only those industries producing nocesaary war material that can be promptly delivered are permitted to operate during the suspension period. To permit Industries with a coal sup ply on hand to operate would allow many of the least essential to con tinue while some of the most essen tial would be compelled to stop. "Moreover, to allow those fortu nate enough to possess a coal pile to continue would result in adding to the tfatfic congestion, and, unless they also are suspended at a later period, the needed saving In con sumption of coal would not result "To have delayed the application of the order would only have added to the congestion. It is no condemna tion of industry to say that each would have striven to the utmost to Increase Its supply of coal and other raw material during the days to the application of the order." BITUMINOUS MAY PREVENT FAMINE [ Continued from First Page.] Bituminous la best used with an equal supply of wood, dealers say. Mr. Hickok remained In communi cation with officials of the Pennsyl vania Railroad all morning, following receipt of a telegram from State Fuel Administrator Potter yesterday, em powering him to divert all ooal arrlT \B in the city during th* flve-day in dustry shut-down period for use by local dealers, public Institution*, hos pitals and public A num- •most thoughtful leaders of public! opinion In this Commonwealth to th<* oud that you may haw at first hand/ this data." > The Governor's telegram of yester day asked that conferences be helcß with lending manufacturers and oth ers of the respective counties "as tuj effect and nWessily of shut-down or der," and requesting: a consensus ofl opinion by wire. Mr. .leiiniiiKit' Ke r -ly Many of the replies were to the ef-* feci that there was much criticism of the lack of notice to prepare for th suspension, although in some cases, notably William Jennings, chairman, of the Dauphin county public committee. It was reported that every* one was complying with the order* Mr. Jennings said: "Parties consulted, considered some relief necessary and. are willingly complying with order. Employes for most part accepting sit nation in a patriotic way." Jumes If. Maurer, president of thu State Federation of liabor, declared that closing down industries will not remedy conditions due to loaded coal cars being held on sidings but will add to trouble. He declares that if organized labor was in charge of pro duction and distribution there would he no coal shortage. Telegrams from Erie, Easton, Reading, Rochester, Washington, Unlontowu and othef places criticise the order, while oth ers from York, Williamsport, PhilaV delphia, Scranton and West Chester* say that people are making the best of it. Col. .T. H. Cunimings, Philadelphia, wirpd that "the administration is to , be severely criticised for gross inconn petence In handling the coal situa tion." Jilayor A. T. Connell, Scran* ton. wired, "Mere is one of the great sacrifices we are asked to make. Let us do it patriotically." ber of the dealers reported this morn- J ing that they are momentarily ex pecting shipments of bituminous coal from railroad sidings In and near the city, and they are preparing to sell the coal to their customers. To Al<l Consumer* Mr. llickok last night appointed Frank J. Brady as the chairman of a committee to be formed to prepare instructions on the use of bituminous coal for consumers. The committee will be appointed In the near future. It Is Mr. Brady's opinion that the people can be educated to the use of [ bituminous coal ,and the conditions will bo greatly relieved through its use. There were but six cars of anthra cite shipped Into the city yesterday. These came over the Pennsylvania Railroad, and were disposed of In a short time. None of the dealers re ported the arrival of any coal in the city to-day. With the exception of a few small cars, the Reading Coal and Iron Company has not shipped any coal into the city this week. .Shipments over the Pennsylvania lines have been fair, sixty-one cars havintr been received. This is not one-third as much coal as is necessary to pre vent serious suffering in the city, dealers say. Through the Investigating bureau at the Chamber of Commerce, much of the actual suffering attendant upon tho coal shortage has been prevented. The investigating board, through the efforts of the city police force, has seen that families where there is dis ease are supplied with coal. Families where there are small children are also attended to by the investigating i j board. The members of the board ' | and the dealers announced that they will be busy all day to-morrow re lieving the suffering in tho city. FEEL FINE! TAKE "CASGARETS" FOB LIVER, BOWELS Spend 10 cents!
