Henderson to Explain.

A statement by Arthur Henderson. the
labor leader and minister without portfolio
in the British war council, who resigned
Saturday. is expected to be made this
afternoon in parliament and it is as
sumed that Premier Lloyd George Will
reply Immediately. 1t was reported
that Mr.. Henderson would demand the
production of all communications be-
tween the ISitish and Russian gov
ernments with reference to the Stock
holm conference. with a view TO show
ing that the premier put wrong in
terpretation on the Russian telegram
he quoted in a letter to Mr.. Henderson.
If the house of commons indorses the
demand a secret session is likely to

Only Necessary Trips Advised.

ITO sim up. every automobile owner
and driver can be taught to ask him
self each morning whether or not his
proposed trip is absolutely necessary
and act accordingly. Then the problem
is solved and with only slight volun-
tary sacrifices. On the other hand, if
the people continue to be thoughtless
and unwilling to do their patriotic bit
in this respect, it may be necessary for
the United States to take drastic action
which will stop excessive pleasure use
of all automobiles. This is not yet con-
templated, so L understand, but it is
the only alternative for the refusal of
the automobile owners to cooperate
and make the necessary voluntary sac
rifices
1T is generally estimated and con-
ceded that one-half of the gasoline
used in the United States G,250, 900, 900
gallons) is used in pleasure riding. In
my opinion a judicious use of the auto
mobile for this purpose will cut this
amount of gasoline in half which
would mean the saving of more than
a million gallons each day in the year"
Director Manning gives number of
suggestions as to how savings in gaso-
line may be effected and concludes with
the statement that his warning does
not mean that automobile owners
should lay up their ears nor that any
one should change his mind about pur-
chasing ear

Hope of Unselfish Response.

"a patriotic. thoughtful and unselffish
response to these suggestions" he said.
'swoufd at once solve one of the per-
picking problems now before the war
making authorities. In order that the
war may be carried on successfully. the
Army and Navy will have to have i'm
mediately on hand enough gasoline. for
the aeroplanes. trucks. automobiles.
tractors and other machines. There
must be no dilly-dallying about this
supply of gasoline, and there won't be.
1T is estimated that the Army and
Navy will need for this year, 35o. 600, ,000
gallons. and there are two ways of OBJ
tanning it. In the first place. the joy
rider whose pleasure is obtained by
covering many miles at high speed can
voluntarily give this up: the man who
takes his family on Sunday for a fifty
mile ride or more can cut this in half;
every man who drives machine daily
can ask himself if part of his riding
cannot be obviated.

Germans determined to regain il at any

Yesterdays counter attack was most
determined. The Germans preceded
their infantry advance by an intense
bombardment from guns Of all calibers.
and then sent troops forward under a
heavy barrage. The Germans were
met by strong fire by the British
artillery and. as they approached the
wood, were moved down in large num-
hers by machine gun fire. But the ex-
penditure of life did not enter into the
German calculations. They were will
ing to- pay the price for this important
position and the infantry was hurled
forward through a rain of death until
the wood itself was reached.

Two hours later the mother of Bes-
