While the New York World calls Fuel Comrai ssioner Garfield's conservation order the greatest disaster that, has befallen the United States in this war, and other journals are equally emphatic in condemning it, many other American newspapers view the action with tolerance, as being a necessary war measure, the Boston Herald declaring that we should not criticize military orders no matter how needlessly sweeping they seem, and in the same spirit we approach these provisions for the conservation of our resources. The port of New York is part of the battle-line, says Public Service Commissioner Whiiney of New York, in the Times, and the people shoul realize this as clearly as if the battle-line in the Connecticut Valley. The coal situation is exceedingly critical and it is no time for public officials to rock the boat. In THE LITERARY DIGEST for January 26th, public opinion, as reflected in the-newspaper press from all sections of the country, is presented in the leading article dealing with Commissioner Garfields drastic coal conservation order. All phases of the subject are dwelt upon in thi article, and a careful reading of it will make clear to the American people just why this order was necessary, how it will be carried out, and what its probable effects will be.

That in the past nine months an army six times greater than that maintained in the Spanish-American war has been raised and equipped, more men than served in the Spanish war transported to and the organization of the war department overhauled and placed on a modern busines basis at the same time, proves not only that the men in charge recognized the job ahead, but tackled it efficiently.
