The public and press have been daily exhorting the government to a more liberal policy of publicity, but few thought that there would be any deviation from the policy of secrecy hitherto pursued. Hence the first lords showing how submarines are being fought by destroyers, seaplanes and other means, and with what ap- parent success, together with his promise of further publicity in the future, proved the most attractive fea- ture of his speech.
 GREAT WORK OF NAVY
 Besides indicating the gigantic work of the navy during the war, the trans port of s,e00,000 men, 9.0o0,0oo tons of ex- posives and 100000 gallons of petrol and the examination of over 25,000 ships, Sir Edward Carson gave statistics of ship movements, which will tend to restore public confidence as to the extent the submarine war is likely to achieve it's object indicating the progress of arm ing merchantmen, with an increase of 4 per cent in the last few months.s
 Sir Edward, claiming no magic rem edy for the evil, expressed the confident belief that the evil would be gradually mitigated He admitted that the allied losses were serious enough, but were not equal to the blatant and extravasant bravado' of the German account of them

FORTY ENCOUNTERS CITED

Citing 40 encounters of British ships with German submarines in the last IS days, he gave interesting details. While admitting that in some cases the evi- dence of actual sinking was vague and doubtful, nevertheless he considered that

Washington, February H.-Drastic measures of precaution were adopted to- day by the chief railroads of the east to meet varying emergency needs for coal and foodstuffs from the Mississippi river to Maine, due to the acute shortage and congestion of freight cars.
 Chief of these measures was the dis patch of rush orders to all roads con- cerned for the prompt transportation of gas coal and coke to IS towns and cities, including Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Toledo and Springfield, H., in the middle west where, it was announced, possible interruption of light, heat and power serv- ice would result unless the shortage were relieved at once.''
 The shortage was said to be most acute at Indianapolis. where the coal supply for gas was reported to be only three days ahead of requirements.
 COMMISSION WORKING
 The interstate commerce commission is working to meet the situation, in CO., operation with the railroad men. A tele- gram from President Griffin of the Chi cago Board of Trade, appealing for relief and asserting that riots would result un- less an embargo were placed immediately on all products out of Chicago except fuel and foodstuffs stirred up consider able indignation at the commission and drew a prompt reply. Assertions in the message were declared erroneous" in so far as they reflected upon steps taken by the commission to relieve the situa~ ton at Chicago. Commissioner McChord, replying to portion of the telegram not made public which apparently charged that he had ruled Chicago could not ex- peet relief from the commission, declared the telegram contained emany statements which are not true.''
 DECLINE TO COMMENT
 That portion of the dispatch referring to possible food riots was not specifically answered and officials declined to com ment on it. Members of the commission are understood, however, to regard the situation as depleted by MT. Griffin as highly improbable, Commissioners de- clined also to comment on dispatches from Chicago indicating that the Chicago Board of Trade might request President Wilson and Congress to take the entire car shortage and congestion situation out of the commissions hands.

FOREST FIRES ARE COSTLY
Cause Average Loss Of $25,COO,oO0 and
Seventy Lives Every Year in the
United States.

The direct annual fire loss in the
United States from forest fires is said
to be about $25,O0O,O0O, to which must
be added an equal amount from the
destruction of sawmills, farm build
ings, crops, and stock that are burned
by fires originating in the forests.
Apart from the property loss there
is an average death list of 20 human
lives each year. The indirect losses
through the destruction of raw mate
rial, the shutting down of sawmills and
woodworking industries, the losses in
wages through unemployment, all tend
20 increase the price of wood products,
and these losses cannot be estimated.
If q city burns it can be rebuilt from
the insurance; when a forest burns
everyone in any way dependent on it is
left empty handed.

expected discovery Near to an Old
hut, which he had not noticed before,
well sequestered in ,eafy grove, was
young man, pale, thin and invalid
looking. He was supported by girl
ish companion.
She was Rachel Clare, and, noting
the resemblance, Willis at once knew
that this must be the fugitive brother.
Rachel was supporting him as he paced
to and fro. Finally they disappeared
into the hut.
Willis arose to his feet with firmly
set lips. He had made up his mind.
The sight of that anxious, innocent
face, and of the wan, stricken face OF
her brother had appealed to all that
was noble and manly in his nature.
He sat down again, to act promptly
upon the impulse that seized him. He
removed the hateful badge Of author
ity, the star. He took out the war
rant and tore it in two. Then he in
dited a brief, but telling note, to Miss
Clare.
In it he bitterly accused himself Of
unWOrthineSS. He made no pretenSe
of concealing his love. But he delre-
Gated the undetermined part he had
taken. He could never hope to APP
proach her again, but he could benefit
her brother thus far-to take warning
that the law was on his track and that
he had still time to flee.
He made up 4 package of the star,
the warrant and the note. He turned
to retrace his way to the village His
plan was to leave all at the home of
Rachel and straightway leave for the
city, not caring what fate might await
him there. He was tearing through
the timber, needless of marks that to
a woodsman would have warned Of
peril, when a half-cut tree, blown by
the wind, struck him PROSTATE.
It was in the hut where he had last
seen Rachel and her brother that viii.
lis returned to consciousness. His
nurse was that self-same brother, who
moved to his side, gentle and atten-
tive, at a moan from the patient.
He had been there two days, dis
covered under the tree by Sidney Glare
and his sister, and removed to the hut
the letter he had written discovered,
too, Willis learned later.
A soothing draught was administered
and when Willis awoke again Rachel
was there.
1--WE are going to remove you to our
home" Sidney Glare told him, and Will
lis hid his face in his pillow, feeling
his unworthiness as he recalled the
spying mission that had brought him
to Durham.
'The truth has come out about my
brother" spoke Rachel brightly.
'There was a motive in his disappear

Pneumatic Tires for Hiking Shoes.


Taking his inspiration from automo-
bile tires, and going the ordinary rub
Der heel one better, Oscar Musslnnn
of New York city has invented Il pneu-
matte tire for his own shoes. Inc
tire" differs very decidedly from the
ordinary heels in that partition or
rubber is built in it half way up It's
thickness. The partition thus forms
an air chamber with the bottom of the
leather above it, and still another one
with the ground when the heel comes
down upon it, explains the Popular
Science Monthly. Each of these two
chambers is connected with the out
side air by small opening. When the
heel strikes the ground, the air IN the
chambers becomes slightly compressed,
causing the jolt OF the walking to be
very greatly cushioned in n manner
very much similar to that in which the
automobile tire cushions the jolts OF
riding. TO prevent the air from be-
coming too suddenly compressed ana
so putting the bottom Of the heels out
of shape, the air is allowed to escape
slowly through the openings.
