Wanted Kauff to Hit

When Benny Kauff was at the
plate for his last time before ioin-
ing the army, the fans at Ebbets
field were pulling for the Giants to
make hit But the rooters We're
not alone in their thought Man
ager Robbie and Otto Miller of the
Robins were also wishing that the
little outfelder would hit safely
while up for the last time. Miller,
who was catching. signaled Grimes
to give Benny high fast ball, the
kind the Giant can slam. Grimes
put 1t where Miller wanted it.
Benny swung at it but instead of
landing out Of fielder's reach, it
dropped into Ivan Olson's glove.

THIRTY-EIGHT CHILDREN ARE
BURNED TO DEATH.

Montreal. Feb. 13.-The charrcd
bodies of 38 children had been recov.
cred late tonight from the ruins OF
the Grey Nunnery which was de.
stroyed by fire. 1t is feared many
more persisted and searchers believed
the toll of death might reach 100.
All the inmates of the great build.
ings, except the children, are believ-
ed to have escaped. They included
nuns, nursing sisters, wounded or the
sick soldiers from overseas, aged Oh
crippled Inen and women to the num-
Der of almost thousand.
When the flames were discovered
in the west wing the alarm was Civ
en- quickly and all those able to help
themselves fled to places Of safety.
The heroic nuns and nursing sisters
strove valiantly to save the sick and
wounded as well MS the infants under
their charge.
The children are houses in the sec
tion of the building where the fire
started and the flames spread SO rap
idly it was impossible to save them
all.
None of the soldiers suffered in
jury, however, although nearly 200
of them were qunrtered in the build
ing.

SUSPENSION OF "HEATLEss
MONDAY.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 8.-Such
favorable results have been obtained
from the operation of the "heatless
Monday" regulations of the Fuel Ad-
ministration that DR.. Garfield felt
justified in suspending the order in
certain particulars.
With the favorable weather condi-
tions of the past week, and due to
the more perfect operation of the
freight embargoes prescribed by the
Director General of Railways, the
further enforcement of certain por-
tions of the fuel restriction order of
January II is deemed unnecessary.
While the recent order of the Fuel
Administration operates generally,
provision is made whereby the New
England Fuel Administration. or any
State Administrator, may, if they
consider it necessary, until March rs,
by an order or regulation, continue
the operation of the original order.
1t will be within their discretion to
modify the original order in such ev-
err way as may suit the requirements
of their respective jurisdictions. AL
SO notifications may be made Mt any
time not later than March rs by the
United States Fuel Administrator
Comparative figures submitted by
the transportation copanies as to the
number Of eastbound loaded cars
above normal on eastern trunk lines
show markell Improvement in the
transportation conditions While on
January 22nd, there were lodged OH
sidings and at terminals of four
trunk lines 26,853 loaded cars, on Feb
ruary IL the number had been reduc-
ed to 13.768.
The Fuel Administration is highly
pleased with the results obtained by
the operation of the fuel curtailment
order during the eight days of its en-
forcement.

GRAHAM is BOTHERED BY FEE,

That there is female detective op-

pressed by IL local officer yesterday
Who she is and how she manages to

attention, but no one, il seems, has
ever suspected that she was n "plnin

That the mysterious secret service

SIR CECIL SPRING RICE.

There is large measure of pathos
in the death of Sir Cecil Spring Rice,
former British Ambassador at Wash
ington, on the very day that his sue
cessor presented his credentials to the
President of the United States. The
late ambassador was not of the SNOWY
or sensational type of diplomat. He
was quiet, modest man, who was
rarely in the limelight, but who Of
ten played an important, if incon-
spicuous, part in big international
movements. Since the first of August,
1914, Won Bernstoff's picture has been
in the American papers hundred
times to Spring Ricc's once and there
have been n hundred articles by and
about the former to one by or about
the latter. yet ambassadors as well
rs lesser mortals must be measur-
cd by results, and the fact is that the
United States is today at war with
Won Bernstoff's country and on bet
ter terms than ever before with
Spring-Rice's. Nor was there lack of
opportunities for serious trouble be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain in the early days of the war
1t is easy to believe that in less cap
able hands than those of Spring Rice
those opportunities might have been
fruitful of danger But the British
Ambassador was man thoroughly
familiar with American afTairs-he
was n member of the legation at
Washington during the administra-
tons of Cleveland and HARRISON
and it is fair to assume that the
maintenance of friendly relations and
good feeling, in spite of these irrita-
lions, was due to skill as we'll as to
American sympathy for Britain's po-
sition in this war. Sir Cecil was n
young man, comparatively. His death
will be regretted

URGES RAILROADS TO USE
ELECTRIC POWER.

E. w. Rrice, jr., President of the
General Electric Company, and Pres
ident of the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers, in opening the
sixth mid-winter convention of the
institute yesterday, says the New
York Times of the 18th, urged the
nationwide electrification of the rail-
roads as the solution of tho fuel and
transportation problems of America.
MIR. Rice asserted that electrifying
the railroads would mean a saving of
about 100,0O0000 tons of coal year
to the country in addition to saving
100000 barrels of oil. The haul
ing capacity of the roads would be
increased by the use of electric en-
gines, he said, to marked degree.
Where electricity has been sub
stituted for steam in the operation of
railroads. said Mr.. Rice, "fully 30
per cent. increase in available capao-
ity of existing tracks and other facil-
tiles has been Demonstrated. This in
creased capacity has been due TO n
variety Of causes, but largely to the
increased reliability and capacity, I'M
der all conditions of service, of cleo
tric locomotives, thus permitting q
speeding up Of train schedules by
some % per cent. under average con-
ditions.
at is estimated that something
like 150,00O,OOO tons of coal were
consumed by the railroads in the
year 1917. Now we know from the
results obtained from such electri-
cal operation Of railroads as we al
ready have in this country that 1t
would be possible to save at least
two-thirds Of this coal, il electric
locomotives were substituted for the
present steam locomotives. On this
basis there would be saving of
over 100,000,00O tons of coal in one
year This is an amount three times
as large as the total coal exported
from the United States in 1917"
Mr.. Rice asserted that while the
nation continued to burn 25 per cent
of the total coal output under locomo-
tives boilers there was at least 25,-
100000 horse power going to waste
In unusde water power.
"The same amount of coal blurred
in modern central power station
he said, "would produce an equiva.
lent of three times that amount OF
power in motors of an electric loco
motive, even including all the losses
of generation and transmission from
the source of power to the locomo.
tive. Where water power may be
utilized, as in our mountainous dis
tricts in the West, all of the coal us.
ed for steam locomotives can be saw
ed. In the middle and Eastern State.
however, water powers are not suffi
cient, and it will be necessary in

that the locomotives be operated b,

The statement has been made bv
writers on the war that Germany can
count on an accretion of about $780,
200 men year from the boys who
reach military age.
That this is huge exaggeration I
think | am able to show. The States
mans Year Book gives the number of
births in Germany in 1913 as 1884,
598. If insurance tables are to be
trusted, more than hat of these would
die before attaining IS years of age,
and half of the survivors would be
women. Then you would have to
make allowances for the cases of "flat
feet" tuberculosis, (very prevalent
in Germany and many other phys-
ical disabilities. When these allow
ances are made you would find that
the gross accretion to the German
army would not amount to ANYTHING
like 100000. And it would be Offset
not only by the large numbers of the
Germans who would be graduating
