What I feared was carbon mOnoXide, that colorless odorless, tasteless gas deadly even in concentrations as sroall as five parts in 10000. It is usually present in the emanations from volcanoes. There is, more over no simple chemical test by which it's presence may be detected. What if we should get dose of that before we were aware of the danger?
 But, like practically all the buga- boos which one meets in this world, these were proved by experience to be much less dangerous than our imaginations had pictured. EXper- fence showed that there was always Llenty of air to breathe, and we found no insidious gases likely to strike one down without warning, for our noses gave us abundant Totice of dangerous places, so that we suffered no injury beyond slight headaches and temporary inconven-

 Professor Masaryk Says New Form of GOvern- nient Will Be Last ing One

Paris December 9-(Hayas.) )-Prof. Thomas G. Masaryk, president of the { Czecho-Slovak republic, will make only brief stay in Paris, having received word by courier shortly after his arrival here asking him to proceed at once to
 Prague. Upon his arrival there, he in formed an interviewer he will convoke < the Parliament and will address it, ex- Splaining the present situation and setting Sforth of the grave problems confronting Nthe republic in the present circumstances, Anotably those having to do with its re- lations with neighboring states.
 President Masaryk said that the repub- klican form of government adopted by ihis country seems likely to be the last Hing form, and in fact the only one pos
 \ lsible. He declared that the best of re- \ lations existed with the Jugo- -Slavs and
 b likewise with the Rumanians and the
 i Galician Poles, the aspirations of all x }being dependent one upon the other.
 \ As to the Russian situation, President SMasaryk- said he considered it the most Bcritical problem for Europe and human lty. Without a strongly organized Rus {sia, he declared, no stable peace would be possible The Russia of tomorrow, he { thought, must supply counter balance HOT Germany.
 President Masaryk declared himself sagainst the union of the German-Au itrians with Germany As to the respon- sibility for the war and the punishment
 of the guilty, he said that the Hapsburgs, to his view, might be even more guilty than the Hohenzollerns.
 < President Poincaire yesterday officially received President Masaryk at the Elyzee upalace. He was accorded military hon. Tors upon his arrival and departure from 1.-the executive mansion.

PRUSSIAN CITY DOES NOT RELISH COMING VISIT OF ALLIES

Aix-La-Chapelle, Rhenish Prussia, Fri day, December 6.-(By the Associated Press. )-This large German city is not enthusiastic over the proposition of oc- cupation by the allies. The yoke of mar tial law seemingly has galled the people and there have been many signs of fret fitness.
 The populace was shocked beyond measure when the Belgians first entered the city and promulgated the iron-clad rules that civilians should leave side walks and uncover when Belgian ori- cers approached and that hostaxes should be given up. Their dignity was so hurt that they protested to. the interna- tionaa arrntstice commisioA Learning from the commission that the rules were exactly the same as those of the Ger mans at the time of the occupation of Brussels, the people received an addi- tional shock. They consoled themselyes however, with the argument that the Belgians had brought the rules down upon themselves by firing upon the German troops while Aix-la- -Chapelle never injured the Belgians.

Catholics, Protestant. Jews, men,

They also prayed for success OF the

Many clergymen, released from OIL

rrSHE United states Fuel Administration urges the peo-
pie to save coal by not using It Immediately In home

The delay need not be hardship. We have but to
consider that we shall be keeping our homes more nearly
at the temperatures habitually maintained in English
homes though all homes in Europe now have almost no

Delay in starting furnaces will put many tons Of
coal into the bunkers Of ships that to and

that though coal production in America bringing
