Debate in House of
Commons.
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.
He added that in one village where j
transports were being unloaded, the j
Germans walked down the streets bor

At its first meeting today the board!

"The demand for certain food com

"One of the fundamental purpose*

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? I ool I.", i v?/>..u
Furnaces arc built specially for
burning" wood in or -1 loot length:-.
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. Wood grates arc sold which
are made ii> two pieces and which
may be inserted in the fire d >< r an I
