The two new sections are the first ambulance drivers, enlisted as such, in the United States, to reach France. All of the American ambulance work so far has been done by men who' were volun teers with the French army prior to the time that the United States govern ment took them over last fall.

Officials who, up to the present, have been ex tremely optimistic, admitted this fact The only possible relief must come from the weather. - -r The railroads are doing their best, but most of them are almost out of com mission. The mines are working, but under tremendous handicaps, due to the intense cold and the enormous . snow drifts which practically block them. From almost every city and town in the east today reports were being re ceived that vital Industries either were shutting down or were about to do so. In many places It has been, necessary to commandeer coal from industrial estab Ustments to keep people warm. Even nere in Washington the public schools are closed and it is estimated that more than 10,000 families are with out fueL Many state fuel administrators have recommended to the fuel bureau that It order another general shutdown. In this connection the Suggestion has been made, and is being given, considera'tion, that a four day shutdown be ordered for the period ending with Lincoln's birth- aay, February ,. iz, and -v. commencina: with Saturday, February 9.

Retailers who have been getting 9 cents for the loaf, making a profit of a cent and a half, are now getting 10 cents, which is a profit of 2 cents. They are, accordingly, getting half a cent more profit under the new order, than before. Food administrators consented to al low the bakers to raise the cost of their bread on the showing that the.manu facturers are losing money on the loaf which for the last 60 days has been re tailing for 9 cents. To obtain , enforcement of the food rules of the administration a delega tion of hotel and restaurant men con ferred with' Mayor George L. Baker to day. - They asked that the - mayor name a city Inspector whose duty It will be to see that the rules are enforced. What the consumer will lose on bread he will more than make up on potatoes served in public eating places.
