SALUTE MEMORY 0F FALLEN
 HEROES
(By Associated Press)

FRENCH FRONT, Oct. 29-"Atten- tion! The division will salute the memory of those of it's comrades who have fallen while fighting for their country"
 The voice of General Michel, one of the young French Commanders, who, by sheer merit has made his way to the front rank during the war, rang out clearly over a stubble field not far from the fighting lines. The troops of his division, drawn up in deep formation facing towards the point whence the sound of the Ger man guns could be heard plainly, pre-. sented arms and the drums tapped out general salute, while the colors of the various regiments were lowered out of respect for those who had fied on the field of battle. The long rows of bayonets remained perfectly still for several minutes while the roll of the drums continued, even after this had ceased and absolute silence reign ed, the men stood motionless for further period, their thoughts with their former comrades.
 This ceremonial honoring of those who have made the great sacrifice is always carried out after a division has left the first line trenches, for during the fighting it is often impossible to perform any religious service over those who fall and are buried where they die. Respect for the dead is deeply ingrained in the French char acter and the soldiers appreciate greatly such an opportunity to honor those who have died-a warriors death. The division concerned today had seen much fighting all along the front for it had served on Alsace, at Yer dun, on the Somme and on the Aisne, where attacks from one side or the other have been of daily occurrence for nearly four months. One of its units was a battalion of the famous chasseurs who are to be found where ever the fighting is heavy, and before the memorial service another cere- mony had taken place, for it was this battalion's turn to be entrusted with the charge of the regiment flag of the chasseurs for a period of three months. Each battalion in rotation is accorder this honor and every man in the battalion guarding the color seems to feel a personal pride in the emblem beneath which he marches. The ftus bears at the head of it's staff the three highest military decorations-the Le- zion of Honor, the military medal and the war cross-bestowed as a reward for the constant and conspicious bray e~y Of tSe soldiers who have fought under it.
 These chosen troops, the chasseurs, had made history long before this war. The first Napoleon had a bat talion of chasseurs in the Guards Di- vision of the Grand Army. Afterwards they disappeared from the army lists for a time, but were reconstructed by the Duke of Orleans under Louis Philippe.
 Solferino, during the Italian war of Liberation, and Sebastopol, in the Cri- mean war, added to the fame of the chasseurs, and during the war of the year 1870 against the Prussians they distinguished themselves on many oc- casions..

SUPPLY 1T COAL NOW
 THREATENED

CAIRO, Oct. 29-The fuel question threatens to become serious in Egypt during the coming year owing to the impossibility of obtaining adequate imports of coal Government experts hope to solve the difficulty partially by developing a useful fuel from cot ton stalks. Experiments to this end are being carried out by Prof. J. F. Wells.
 Egypt produces no coal, grows very few trees and those not for firewood, and her oilfields are not as yet suf- ficiently developed to meet local re- quirements. Both oil and coal inn ports have fallen off more than fifty per cent. since the war. To econo- mize fuel, street lighting has been de- creased by quarter, all shops are closed at ' p. m., all restaurants at 10 and all places of amusement at II.

 The Italian minister's request was not supported by the other Entente ministers. But it is difficult to make China believe so. Secret agreements have wrought so much havoc in the republic that all Chinese are suspi- cious.
