I. ATKINS IGNORES
 PEACE DISCUSSION
Too Busy Wagin8 War to Attend
 to Diplomats Notes

With the British Armies in France, Jan. 26.-Peace conversations and peace notes, however, much of a furry they may cause in the capitals of the world, have no effect upon the British armies. The work of war progresses, and one of the first inn pressions the visitor gets on a tour behind the British lines in France is the absolute permanence and thor oughness of the British war machine. There Is no fimsy construction any where. Is is as if the English were preparing to fight through countless years to come if necessary.
 While built primarily for war eff ciency, the telephone and telegraph lines, the railways and the motor highways the English have put into France will be left here when the war is over as a permanent legacy. The war railroads will in effect be an offset to the so-called strategic rail- ways of the Germans. and will enable France to develop her northern coun- try far more rapidly than otherwise would have been possi ble. Already the telephone and telegraph lines are linked up with the French official sys- tens and represent a permanent ex- tension of those facilities.
 The telephone has played won derful part in the war. When Canadian battalion made daylight raid on 400 yards of German trench es few days ago, each company commander in the raid had 8 tele- phone with him as he went into ac- tion, the signal men in charge unreel- ing the wires as they pressed forward. The instruments were connected with battalion headquarters back in first line English dugout and there was not moment during the offensive that the contact was not complete. Through the various telephonic links leading from battalion headquarters to brigade headquarters, to division headquarters, corps headquarters, general headquarters and thence across the English Channel. it would have been possible, if so desired, for the company commanders in the thick of actual hand to hand fight ing to talk direct from German trench to the War Office in London. The trunk telephone lines erected by the British along the main high ways to the war; represent the latest improvement of equipment. At some points there are as many as thirty wires on single line of poles, with second line of sixteen wires being strung. From the peaceful, pastoral scenes of non-invaded France out toward the battle lines tho wires reach in ever diminishing numbers until at last only a few strands may be laid along the ground-across that stretch of mud and shell-shat- tered dissolution representing the gains of some recent "push.'

LIVING IN FRANCE
 IS ALMOST DOUBLED
Failure to Build Inland Canal
 System Partly to Blame

Paris, Jan. 2e-Nothing has availed to check the increase of the cost of living in France, an Associated Press man has found. Bread only has es- capped the tendency. Everything else considered, it costs at least 75 per cent. more to live in France today than it did three years ago. War, of course, Is the first explanation, but economic experts declare that d1ffi- culties of transportation and high fre1ghts form the chief factors and that these difficulties are due largely to the failure of the government to have ever carried out the projects for interior navigation which were urged by de Freycinet, Baudin and Audif- fred, years ago. Tn the opinion of these same economic authorities the failure of France to realize these canal projects has been responsible for her anomalous position in the world-carrying trade.
 Although some 200 to 500 miles nearer America and from 200 to 1000 miles nearer the extreme Ori- ental markets than Antwerp or Ham, burg, the French port of Marseilles before the war was surpassed by those Belgian and German ports in Gen. tral European trade to the Orient. while Bordeaux, Havre and other French Atlantic ports were far behind them in trade with the two Amer icas. The marvellous internal organi- Zation of navigation and transporta- tion in Belgium and Germany enabled them to drain toward their ports nearly all the foreign bound traffic of Central Europe though lengthening the route and increasing the time of delivery.
 Geneva, for instance, Is further from Antwerp than it Is from Bordeaux, yet in 1912 Bordeaux received almost nothing from Switzerland while Ant werp received 31,0OO tons to be shipped by it's longer route to Euro pean ports. In the same year Bor- deaux received and forwarded to Geneva only 4,5OO tons while Ant werp was a way station for 44,000 tons going into Switzerland.
 The new necessities created by the war, however, made Bordeaux the port for 35.000 tons of cotton and grain and other commodities en route for Switzerland in 1915. Economic authorities argue that with proper facilities four years ago Bordeaux would have received a lions share or the 15.OO0 tons of ingoing and out gong Swiss traffic in 1912.
 The question is one of the Rhine
New Britain herald., 1917-01-26

against the Rhone so far as concerns Central European traffic for Whlch Switzerland acts as sort Of turn table, and with it are connected ln- timately the long discussed pro]ects of the Rhone canal, the canal from MarseiTles to the Rhone, and the canal from the Rhone to the Glronde with Marseilles and Bordeaux as the termini.
 De Freycinet and other far-seetng statesmen who ella aborated these canal projects fell from power before they were realized, but economic authori- ties believe that the era of recon struction after the war will see France turning first of all, in the mat ter of public improvement, to the question of transportation.
 Two of the most important pro- iected waterways remain to be built; one of them lateral to the Rhone will continue the system from Havre and Paris to Marseilles by way of Lyons and will enable the Rhode to compete with the Rhine for Swiss trade to the Mediterranean; another connecting the Rhone with the Dor dogne-that is to say connecting Lyons and Marseiles with Bordeaux will give Switzerland a shorter route to American ports than that by the Rhine.
 Ill-conceived rivalry of the stronger railroad interests is accused of retard ing these projects as well as a shorter line but of mparatively greater inn portance in the North and East con meeting the canals of the EScaut, the Meuse and the Chiers, and serving as connecting link between the iron and coal districts.
 Had the canals built and projected been in efficient operation at the be- ginning of the war it Is probable that they would have eased transportation difficulties so as to have kept the cost of living much nearer normal; they would at least have kept coal from going from 40 francs to 1SO francs a ton.

ENTENTE EXPECTS
 VICTORY IN WEST

Lack of Fuel Increases Hears of Na
 tives of Jerusalem of Cold Winter
 Months.
 London, Jan. 26.-Advices receive ed here indicate that this winter is looked forward to with the greatest dread by relief workers in the Holy land. The food situation is no better than 1t was a year ago, and the greatest suffering is caused by the want of fuel and light.
 The cold in Jerusalem during Janu- ary and February is intense, and the scaracity of fuel is so severe that 1t is difficult to have fire even to COOK with. Petroleum, formerly brought in abundance from the Russian oil- fields as well as from American sources, is not to be purchased at any price. Coal, formerly obtained from France and Wales, is nowhere obtainable even in the smallest quantities The only fuel remaining is wood, and very little of this is to be had and that at a very high price, Even before the war the wood supply had become very scanty, owing to neglect of proper forestry work and the lack of forest laws. In many dis trcts even the fruit trees are being cut down to provide wood requisi- toned by the government for the operation of trains.
 Although the harvest throughout Palestine has been fairly good the people have derived little benefit, owing to the requisitioning of all the crops by the military authorities. Sugar has long been practically un- obtaina ble. There are no stores of food available for the peoples of the towns this winter. but the peasants in the country districts have in many cases been able to hide a part of their crops from the military. Tn the towns the Restitution ard exhaustion is so severe that actual starvation seems the inevitable lot of a considerable part of the inha bitantS.
 The Turkish governments intro ductiOn of paper money has caused great hardship. The inhabitants of Palestine are unused to such money. and have no desire to become ac- customed to it. Tn spite of the most stringent government regulations against any preference being shown for coined money, no shopkeeper will
