BULGARIAN ENVOY
AS MILITARY LEAK

Informal inquiry may be made OF
the State Department by one Of the
entente governments as to the present
status Of Stephan PanRrstoff. the
Bulgarian minister, with particular
reference TO his privileges with re-
spsot to secret code cables, according
to q Warrington dispatch published
in today'H issue Of the New York
Sun. There has been no severance
OF diplomatic relations between the
United States and Bulgaria, although
the latter country Is at war with the
entente, and diplomats are somewhat
uneasy over the possibility OF mill
tary information OF value reaching
the enemy through the Bulgarian
legation.
Under prescribed conditions for
members Of the Diplomatic Corps the
Bulgarian minister has the privilege
of sending anything he wishes to his
government by his official secret
code. II would not be proper, from q
diplomatic viewpoint, for American
officials to question any message 60
ing out or to seek to know its con-
tents.
Admittedly there IL nothing specific
TO Justify belief that the enemies Of
the entente profit by the presence
OF Bulgarian diplomats IN. Washing
ton, but on general principles the
idea that q means OF transmitting In
formation exists causes them concern.
It IL pointed out that Germany and
Austria might well be in q position
to profit by advices receiyed from
their ally Bulgaria. and It Is realized
Of course that the Bulgarian minister
viii seek to serve his own country
TO the best Of his ability here.
II may be that some mutual agree
ment will be reached-or perhaps al
ready has been reached-by the Bull
Earian minister and the State Depart
ment whereby messages from the le-
cation are sent In cipher to which
United States officials have the key.
This would admittedly be 4 diplo-
matte irregularity. but, at the same
time, It would serve to relieve the
anxiety Of entente diplomats here.

FUEL ADMINISTRATOR ADVISES ECONOMY
 POINTS NECESSITY

WASHINGTON, october 15.- The householder must realize that lwhen he throws a shovelful of anthra- cite coal into his furnace its value Is equivalent to half pound of sugar, or half a pint of milk"
 ! That is the manner in which Van. H. Manning. Director of the Bureau of Mines. Department of the Interior endeavored to impress the state as- sistants of the Fuel Administration with the necessity for the economical use of fuel. The state deputies had been called together in Washington by Dr. H. A Garfield, the Fuel Admin istrator. for family council concern ing the urgent work to be taken up in each state.
 The householder must, therefore. appreciate .,. -t Is nov worth while Q examine his house and to overhaul 1 his heating equipment" continued Mir. Manning. Weather strips, double windows, pipe coverings. clean fiues and chimneys, and tight fittings in ash pits. doors. dampers and furnace parts will all pay. Damper control is one of the chief secrets of economical heating Clean heating surfaces are most essential. as soot is a poorer con ductor of heat than asbestos. Care, attention, and taking pains will be the greatest factors in saving domestic coal
 i MT. Manning said that about twenty ] per cent of the six hundred million tons of coal mined in the United States is used for house heating and that it is shoveled by more than ff teen million people.
 Americans have been as wasteful of coal as of other resources. continu- ed Mir Manning. "largely because coal has been abundant. To many consumers it has seemed hardly worth while to give time and thought to the saving of coal. Conditions have sud denly changed. To-day it is every hody's business to save coal. Coal is he foundation stone of industry. " ''eat it the production of equip Ii Il. for war must halt. One mans careless and wasteful use may mean al idle factory or a cold house for

With more ef- fort thorough instruction and a moder- ate remodelling of coal-burning equipment. which could all be accom- plished during the war. a further con siderable saving could be made.
 The possible saving when present practice is compared with the best ideal practice is very large. If it were possible 10 supply the need Of this country for light, heat, and power through the highest type of mechani- cal devices. and if We could make skilled user out of the average user, we could probably get along with half as much coal as We are now consum- ing. This ideal is far beyond present realization. We cannot scrap all out ot-date power plants. We must start with doing the best with what we have We must begin saving coal at once"
