crew OF the submarine joined them,
after loading til small boats with
bombs. each about the size of a
tomato can.
"Our men were told to unload the
bombs on the decks Of the Briardene."

Germans boarded the Briardene and

Of all the above possible sources,
the most interesting, owing to the low
cost of raw material, is the waste from
the lumber industry, particularly that
in the form of sawdust or small chips
This material in the vicinity of saw
mills or woodworking plants is often
an item of loss owing to its production
in excess of their own power require
ments, its value never rising above
50 cents ton, even when used as a
source of power The disposal of this
superfuous waste from figures gath
cred by the forest products laboratory
at Madison, Wis, costs from 80 to 66
cents cord of 1900 pounds, the total
annual loss from this cause amounting
to about 100000 annually, in addi-
ton ITO the value of the wood so
burned.
This represents an annual wastage
of approximately 100000 cords OF
wood, and constitutes only about 50
to so per cent of the total waste ma
terial produced in this form. Thus we
see that there is produced annually in
the United States waste material
amounting in volume to about 10000
600 cords, or around 27,000,000 tons,
which is now burned as the easiest
method of getting rid of it.
Wood Alcohol Useless as Fuel.
From experiments which have been
carefully conducted by various expert
mentors ton of dry sawdust has been
found to yield with proper treatment
around twenty to twenty-five gallons
Of IS per cent alcohol (ethyl or grain
alcohol not wood alcohol, for this lat
ter is useless for fuel purposes owing
to the formation of products of COM
bustion which would wreck the cylin-
ders) and we could have therefore an
estimated production from this source
alone of around 5GO,000,000 gallons an
nually.
If we add to this the amount of
wood wasted in the form of stumps
and branches sufficiently thick to be
barked, which on conservative basis
is equal in amount to the sawdust and
chips produced, we would get from
this waste" wood volume of alcohol
almost sufficient to supply with fuel
even the stupendous number of auto
mobiles at present in use.-New York

New York, Jan. Lies Darcy, the
Australian niddleweight champion,

America in Brooklyn today In a
ringsode box he watched Billy Miske
of St. Paul and George Knockout"
Brown of, Chicago fight ten hard
rounds, in eight of which the st. Paul
man gave the Chicagoan a beating.
Miske, who is prominently men
toned as an opponent for Darcy, had
the advantage in height, reach and
five pounds i'll weight, but Brown
withstood terrific punishment and was
still fighting gamely when the bout
ended. Brown won the first two
rounds. ...
Strange to Darcy.
In the sixth Miskc landed a right
swinging uppercut under Browns
jaw, but the Chicago man clinched
and stalled out the round. In the sew
enth Brown took three short arm
jolts in the same place, besides some
hard blows on the body, but Miske
could not get his right over for a
knockout.
THE arrangements here are rather
strange to me-" Darcy said. Both
smoking and coaching from the cor
ners are absolutely prohibited in Aus
tralia, but both are allowed here. The

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS;
SYSTEM SU UNMARRIED
CAN BEGIN WITH rs CENTS
STAMPS BEAR INTEREST
PAYABLE ANY TIME.

The war savings plan provided for
in the last bond act, of September "a,
1917 has been formulated and an
nounced by the treasury department
and goes into operation on Monday,
December 3.
The plan puts it easily in reach of
avery American citizen to save money
and at the same time aid the govern
ment by supplying it with the sinews
of war.
Stamps, which are the government y
certificates of Indebtedness, are to be
sold in two denominations-thri
stamps, which cost 25 cents EACH and
war savings stamps, which cost from
s412 to- $423 each according to the
month in which they are purchased.
With the first thrift stamp the pur-
chaser is given a thrift card with the
spaces for 16 stamps. When 16 thrift
stamps have been purchased and af-
fixed the thrift card can be exchanged
for war savings stamp by paying the
difference between the "a the thrift
stamps represent and the current
value of a war savings stamp, which
in December, 1917, and January, 1918,
will be $4:12, and thereafter / cent for
each succeeding month during the year
1918.
RedeemabIe in 1923.
With the first war savings stamp
obtained by purchase or exchange the
owner is given war savings certifi-
cate containing spaces for 20 war saw
ings stamps. If the 20 spaces are fill
ed during December, 1917, or January
1918, the cost to the purchaser will be
SAP for each. stamp, or $S2.40 for the
full certificate, and on the LIST day of
January, 1923, the government will re-
deem the certificate at 800, giving the
holder a net profit of $3.50 for the use
of his money.
Although these investments do not
mature until January 1, 1923, provi
sion is made whereby upon 10 days
written notice after January l, 1918.
such certificates will be redeemed by
postmasters at their cost to the pur
chasers plus 1 cent a month on each
war savings stamp on the certificate.
Bear Per Cent Interest.
The thrift stamps do not bear in
terest, but the war savings stamps
bear per cent, compounded quarter
ly. The certificates will be dated jan
uary 2, 1918, and mature January l.
1923.
Under the plan an amount as small
as rs cents can be invested in a gov
eminent security, and as soon as $4
has been thus invested an interest
bearing certificate of the United
States government can be secured.
The stamps and certificates can be
obtained from postoffices, banks or
trust companies, at most railroad sta
tons, stores, factories and many 9TH
er public places.
Having the entire wealth of the
United States back of them, and be-
ing redeemable as above stated, there
is no danger of any depreciation IN the
value of the certificates
