The article presents several developments related to various fields. The U.S. Fuel Administrator, H.A. Garfield put into force a drastic order directing nearly all industries east of the Mississippi River and in Minnesota and Louisiana to shut down for the next five days, and on the subsequent nine Mondays until March 25, 1918. The order was signed with the disapproval of the U.S. Senate, but neither the President nor the Senate has interfered with its execution. U.S. Senator George E. Chamberlain has passed a bill to establish a war cabinet with powers affecting military organization.
