SUBSTITUTE WOOD FOR COAL ID HELP
 MEET SHORTAGE
Fuel Administration and Agriculture Department to Wage Coal Conserva-
 tion Campaign

Washington, November 29-To help meet the shortage of 5O,oOo,0O0 tons in the country's coal supply, the fuel ad- ministration in co-operatior with the de- partment of agriculture has inaugurated an intensive campaign for the substi- tuition of wood for coal
 "One cord of hard wood is equal to ton of coal" said an announcement by the fuel administration. "A ton of coal is released for use in war work for every cord of wood substituted. Statistics show that there Is vast amount of dead wood in many sections of the coun- try and the supply of wood in many communities is sufficient for domestic purposes in these parts"
 Much of the wood in communities is destroyed by waste, 1t was pointed out and it's conservation not only would conserve coal, but would prove meas ure of economy to the users.
 New England and the south, the state ment said, have an abundance of wood and in the latter section activities all ready are under way looking to an inten- sive campaign for the substitution of wood In this connection, it was an that the department of agri- culture would provide the services of ex- pert forecasters without charge to su- pervise the cutting of wood so that no would be done to growing tim Der and that the largest use might be obtained of the wood supply.

 Condition Is Good

Amsterdam. November 29.-Speaking in the Prussian lower house today on food conditions. Herr Won Waldow. president of German food regulation board, said:
 Considerable supplies of grain for making bread have been provided by early threshing. The imperial grain bu- reau has already received 1,0O055o tons. as compared with S9o,00o tons last year. The potato crop may be regarded as atisfactory-almost as a good one, and we count on having S4.500,000 tons. Dis tribution will be carried out much more efficiently than in recen. years. The same quantity of sugar as formerly can be delivered
 we shall still have to bear many re- strictions. but we have adequate food supplies for the new year."
 Herr Won Waldow said that bread and potatoes would form the basis of the food supply.

LONDON'S PICTURESOUES SERVICE

London November 9-Thanksgivine Q, was observed in London by the flying of American flags an informal dinner at the American officers club, and a picturesque united service on behalf of the United States and Great Britain in the historic church of St. Ethelburga. It was tbis church in which Henry Hudson was parishioner and made communion before starting on his first voyage of discovery in the new world. more than 300 years ago
 Ambassador Page and Consul General Skinner were represented officially at the service, which was attended by sev- eral distinguished Englishmen and a number of American residents of Lon don. The quaint old church, which is one of the landmarks of the city, was decorated with American and British flags. The service included prayers for Britain and the United States, and the singing of Hail Columbia" the Star Spangled Banner" the Battle Hymn of the Republic,' God Save the King and My Country 'Tis of Thee"
 The Rev w. F. Cobb, the rector, in his sermon spoke of President Wilson as worthy successor to Washington and Lincoln, and as in some respects even stronger than they. No man, he said, ever so we'll expressed the great cause of freedom and justice for which America and Great Britain are striv- ino united in bond such as now ex- ists between the two countries; a bond of the heart, which never can be un- done.
