Was French Only the scapegoat?

r. Field Marshal Niscount French is chosen
1 10 MI the post OF British Secretary for
War, left vacant by the lamentab BILE death of
Lord Kitchener, as it is reported he may be-
something more than the much-Quoted for
tune OF war may be held accountable
II will be remembered that General Sir
John French was removed from the high
command OF the British forces on the western
front By order Of Lord Kitchener Whether
that action was fully justified is a question
that ii followed what was practically a sharp
Great Britan's heavy losses in the western
field OF war General French and his sup
portcrs contended that the ammunition sun
pied the British troops was not of the proper
character for the work required of them
that, in short, there was almost total lack OF
high-eXplosve shells
LORD HOrinClli!c, the most powerful news

could take charge OF the operations for Great

FIRE MARsHALs GET NOTICES

The following communication has
been sent out to all Montana fire
marshals by State Auditor William
Keating, relating to the unusual
number of fires in January, and the
unlikelihood of securing any lower
insurance rates if the record con-
tinues:
I'm communities where yara-
tions in temperature are sudden and
extreme, it is highly important that
heating plants be installed in SAT-
est possible manner, and even if the
bad experience had thus far in 1916
does not result in the increase in fire
insurance rates, there is no question
but that continuation of this rec
ord will effectively operate against
any general reduction of rates in
tn this state
This office has no proper means of
publicity whereby the attention of
the public may be called to these
conditions, to say nothing OF the
many temporary heating devices
that are put in hurriedly on account
