Extinsuishins Burning liquids.

Many people have often wondered
why 1t Is permissible to use water for
extinguishing some burning liquids and
no. for others. For instance, water Is
effective for extinguishing burning a.
cohol or acetone, but quite the reverse
In the case of gasoline or oil. The
difference lies in tho fact that water
mixes readily with the first two uQ.
uids, while gasoline and oil do moi
mix with water, but float upon its sur
face and are thus scattered over =
large area.

FRENCHMEN ON
BREAD RATION
Wheat Shortage Results in
Apportioning Small Guam
titles to People.

France has had her war bread doled
out in small fixed quantities for more
than six months. for since January.
1918, France has been on a bread
ration. Long before this date. how
ever, owing TO the alarming and con-
slant decrease Of cereal supplies two
bread rationing systems had been
worked out and the dates set for their
enforcement But neither one ever
became effective except in one or two
communes.
Under the present system no tickets
are required for bread served in res
taurants, but the restaurants are al
lowed TO serve only IS ounces per
meal
Although almost from the first year
OF the war the price of bread SCARED
in England. the price was kept down

housewife until the first Of this wear.
This was done by the French supply
commission which buys all foreign
wheat and re-sells It TO the DEPART
ments in need OF it
Between May and the end Of De-
cember, 1915, this commission bought
wheat at a price much higher than
that charged the consumer. the loss
being borne by the state. The French
housewife was paying the equivalent
OF 1874 cents in April. 1917. for loaf
Of bread weighing four pounds six
ounces, while In England a loaf
weighing four pounds cost the equiv
alert OF 202 cents.
The wheat crop for 1917. however.
was so far below normal that the
commission found itself unable 10
meet the deficit between the cost OF
the increased amounts Of foreign
wheat and the pre-war selling price.
The result was that the French house

war level for her bread

TRAWLER SUNK
NEAR HALIFAX
American Boat Either Tor
pedoed or Mined S.
Miles Off Coast.

The Navy Department issued a
brief bulletin last night to the effect
that it was informed that the Amer
lean steam trawler Kinghsher had
been torpedoed fifty-ive miles east
OF Halifax and that the crew had
been landed.
The departments announcement
seems to confirm the press reNort
that the. SihChsher was hit by a
torpedo. but some OF the high officials
believe the vessel was destroyed by
a mine
Whether it was mine or torpedo,
however. the Navy officials do not
regard the sinking of the trawler
as Of any great Importance. The
cry of "a submarine along the
coast" no longer alarms as it did
when the first raid was made more
than three months ago OF the
Jersey Coast.
1t is noted by one OF high officers
Of the Department last night that
the German submarine, as a threat
against the North Atlantic Coast,
was heard the last time August 22,
exactly a month from the present
incident. This official said that
even granting there was a German
submarine operating again on the
fishing banks. it would indicate the
submarines that were here before
had been. obliged to return home
for repairs and oil.
II was not probable. he said. that
the submarines would have returned
to Germany IL they had had a base
either on our coast or any nearby
coast. and If there were such a base
the Uboats would not have ceased
their activity for a month. In addi.
ton to that, the navy secret service.
both ashore and along the coast
waters. has made a long and minute
investigation without discovering
either base or a source of informa-
tiOn from shore points.
The officials who believe the King
fisher was sunk by mine. not tor.
pedo, say they know that the last
German submarine strewed mines
near the fishing banks They con-
tend that if the submarine was not
actually seen. the mine theory is the
more probable. Others, who credit
the report OF the master of the King
fisher, Captain Reilly. that there was
submarine. assert that the protec-
ton of the fishing banks by navy
vessels has not been withdrawn and
that this supposed foray of a SUB
marine will not prove successful,

TWO CAPITALS
LOCATED HERE
Czecho-Slovak Government
Seat in the District
Of Columbia.

This one time restful and repose-
full old city awakened 20 find that
the war. which had turned things
topsy.turvy all around, had given
II = new thrill.
For Washington learned. and
learned officially to boot. that in
addition TO being the seat OF gov
ernment for the United States OF
America II was also the capital of
another country. thousands of miles
away. This state of affairs was
brought about by our recognition
OF the Czecho-s -sloveks as nation
and offering them the Official hand
OF our friendship.
The government OF the Czecho-
slovaks is vested in the National
Council and the head OF the Ma
tional Council is Prof. T. G. Masaryk.
who is here. Therefore the capital
OF the Czecho-slov is a modest
apartment in the northwest section
Of Washington. where Prof Ma
saryk makes his home.
This situation il perhaps without
an equal in history. Seats of gov
ernment have been changed before
in war, but never has the center Of
governments activity been whisk-
ed across an ocean. out of the
maelstrom Of battle and ploodshed
and into a normally prosaic and
well-set-up town like Washington
The situation is, however, a tri-
butte to the Csecho.Slovaks and
Prof. Masaryk. their leader. 1t
shows how the United States re-
CARDS a brave people. who have
maintained their bravery and their
nationality in face of the terrorism
and oppression that have been their
unhappy lot
Thrilling Escape Told.
When the history, OF the war is
written romanticists will, or should.
be satisfied with the details of the
escape, the fighting and the re-
cognition Of the Czechs, as they
form one of the fascinating chap
ters of the great conflict.
And when the NATIVE CZecho-Slovak
sits down to write the story OF his
country's struggle for independence
he will find in Prof. Massryk all the
necessary attributes of an American
President up until the time log
cabins went out of style.
Prof. Masaryk, the leader OF the
new nation and the foremost Sla-
vonic student in the world, started
life as a blacksmith's apprentice
what more could a historian desire?
Up to the time OF his flight from Aus
tria when he declared for the cause
Of the allies, he was recognized as
the true democratic leader IN the
affairs of the dual empire. and since
his escape he has collected the scat
tered threads of his countrlmen all
over the earth. brought them into
being again. directed armies in Rus
sia and Siberia. and is responsible
for the recognition of the people who
call him their little father" by the
United States. Great Britain, France
and Italy.
