Perhaps the most important Of waste
fuels In the United States has been
spent tanbark. A rough estimate would
indicate that this material generated
few years ago an amount of steam
that would have otherwise required
the yearly consumption Of about 2,000,-
600 tons of high grade coal. Yet this
valuable fuel was at one time consid-
cred a mere detriment and an expense
to the leather industry 1t was dis
posed Of by dumping II into rivers, fill-
ing In waste ground and by making
roads with II, often necessltatlng the
paying out Of large sums for its dispo-
sition. This striklngly illustrates a
case of how the Improvement Of fur
mace converted a hitherto supposed
combustible into valuable waste fuel
of the autocombustible class and
shows how an enormous waste was
converted into an equally great econ
omy.--Engineerlng magazine.

GENERAL VON KLUCK, With MAIN
Division OF TEUTON|C ARMIES
BEFORE PARIS, REPORTED BEATEN

In any case, from the estimate Civ
en- of the numbers of the troops sur
rendered, which, according to one re-
port was $4,000 and according 70 an
other $4,000, it would be a misnomer
to call it surrender of General Won
Klucks' army, which must total in the
neighborhood of 100000.
That Won Kluck's position is diff
cult one seems to be unquestionable,
if, as reported. the Germans line is
swinging its eastern extreme right
back to the Meuse in the vicinity of
Mezieres, Vervines, st. Quentin and
Peronne. General Won Kluck, howev-
err, has shown masterful skill, and,
even should he have been forced to
sacrifice a part of his army to an
offensive stroke of the British and
French allies and unless heaten by a
a break in the weather which is turn
ing the roads into quagmires and MAX
ing travel most difficult, observers
here are Of the opinion that he will
reach his appointed position.

ress, which his army has been be-
sieging for a week past. However,
no news of the actual situation there
has yet come through, nor is official
confirmation of the reported fall of
the fortified position of Maubeuge
Forthcoming from Fench sources.
A dispatch from the German general
staff on the battle of Marne, received
in London today, suffered at the hands
of the censors. In its truncated form
the only claim made for the German
army is that having successfully de-
feated the French it is endeavoring to
break through the German lines.
This apparently is quite true unless
the report from Dieppe, which alleges
that Won Kluck's army on the German
right had been forced to surrender,
turns out to be correct Up to the
present time there has been no con-
firmation of the story.
