London.?The I ?riti^li government will investigate the reasons for the British reverse on the Southern end of the Canibrai salient. This was the 1 assurance given by Andrew Bonar ; Law, chancellor of the exchequer, in < answering criticism of military opera- i lions >n the House of Commons today. < Mr. Bonar Law said that the gov- j I crnmcnt's information was that ru- < mors concerning- the Canibrai opera- j i tions were exaggerated greatly, and i lie had ben tempted to warn the j i House that nothing in the shape of a < decisive result was expected from ,? that operation. > Mr. Bonar Law could only say that < the government and military author1'- ( ties were determined to discover the 1 whole truth of the matter and to < take necessary action. ? Considerable Criticism. 1 In the debate in the House of Com- 1 nions after the statement by Andrew < Bvnar Law. chancellor of the exehe- i ijuer, there was considerable criticism I of military operations, especially < those at Cambrai in the ligth of the | l editorial in The Times demanding1 an 1 investigation, John Dillon, irish na- ,' tio-nalist, condemned the government for keeping th.e public in the dark, and said there were rumors that the Germans got three or four miles behind the British lines in the Cambrai affair before they were discovered.

PEOPLE ARE URGED TO BURN WOOD Thus They Can Save the Use of the Coal For The Government. That it is entirely piactioable i> many rases to replace coal with wood in at least 17 States is the declaration of department officials. In these States?Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, lewa, and Missouri?there is a rurai population of about 20,000,000 which it is estimated, uses annually about IS,000,000 tons of coal. I'sc of Wood Will Help Relieve Freight Congestion. A maximum price for coal has been fixed by the Government, says the statement. This does ot mean, ho v. nor, that the railroad will be able io transport all of the coal which tin* consumers may desire <? r want. Id very freight ear is performing; a heary iuty, and the fewei the ears that are used for coa' the greater will be the lumber available for carrying other kvar commodities. Manufacturers, .if course, can not substitute wood for real, nor can city people, because tins c.ould usu't in even greater railroad (ingestion. It is not likely ihat eithr.) in the South or the West the use of wood tor fuel can he greatly increased. but farmers in the States mention d fre(|Uently are situated so that [hey can profitably supply fuel from their woodlands not only for the*., own use but for the fuel market. It is where team-hauled wood can he used in the place of railrond-haul[ *. wood that the substitution should he made, the statement adds, farmers who own woodlands and people in cillages who can purchase wood from nearby farm*! are in the best position to reduce their consumpt'on of com. It is not xepected that such substitution will be complete, or universal; fo; many purposes coal is much more con vcnient. But for heating* some kinds of buildings wood is the more convenient and cheaper fuel. This :s particularly true in the ease < v churches, halls, summer cottages, and other buildings for which beat is required only occasionally. Wrnrl \1 :iv lt<> l'vorl ir?

Short lengths of course, can readily be buined in an ordinary coa1 furnace or in a box stove, though this is rather wasteful of fuel. Many furnace manufacturers, however, make a special wood grate for use in then* furnaces. II' a stove go ate is too coarse for wood, a sheet iion cove* over a good part of the surface will make it suitable, or a few bricks can he used.
