WASHINGTON. Jan Z.
Fuel administration methods are TO
be thoroughly investigated.
The Senate subcommittee iuvestigat-
ing the coal and sugar shortages today
began TO delve deeply into the opera
tions Of the Garfield bureau. Fixing Of
prices was to be the subject for "A long
and detailed inquiry. Testimony has
already been offered to the effect that
prices have been arbitrarily fixed with.
out proper opportunities for all con-
Ccrned to be heard.

are being overloaded and n consequent
loss in transportation amounts TO as
high as one and one-half tons n carload
and that, despite the fact that this has
been brought to the attention of the
Fuel Administration, no action has been
taken.

THE ADVENTURE PAR EXCEL
LENCE.

If the war in the vast is thing
of vast mechanism with the excep-
ton of the war in the air, the war in
the East becomes more and more a
failure of romantic adventures and
extraordinary exploits.
The adventure of the Czecho-Slavs
in Siberia and the Urais is one of
the marvels And now we hear of
British force that has made its way
to the Caspian Sea and captured
Baku, the great oil city, one of the
prizes of Asia.
The British have been the great
adventuring race of history. Eng
fish. Irish, Welsh and Scottish, to
what region have thay not penetrated
lust of novelty. And now the confusion
OF the East is such as to invite bold
strokes and desperate ones. There
may be new Gives and Chinese Cor
dons and when the Americans get
into the field of the East new Sam
Houstons and Fremonts, Bowies and
Boones
The Germans sneered at the Brit
lsh effort in Mesopota,nia which re-
suited IN the surrender at Kut of
General Townsend-they called it IN
application of the sport-idaa to az.
rlous military problem. But before
they have finished in the East the
Iermans will be laughing out of the
other side of their mouths. For the
conditions there developing will fit
the sport idea perfectly.
The man who will take loro
chance with insufficient means. hit
with tremendous energy and perfect
1earlessness, will likely be he who
can surmount events and play the
dazzling part.

House Sparrow in ENGLAND.

In the course Of campaign in Eng.
land against the swarming and mis-
chrvous house sparrow the services
OF children and sparrow clubs" were
solicited. Bad results were the conse-
quence, since little discrimination was
used, and every sort Of small bird
was mistaken for the prescribed spar.
row, and thousands Of useful insect
eating birds were destroyed. so that
exactly the opposite Of what was in.
tended was accomplished.

In the Philippines the 30th of De- cember is "Rizal Day." a legal holi- day, when the natives of the islands SSSar the memory of the man who hasa Secome their greatest hero. It was just 22 years ago today that Dr. Jose Rizal was executed by the Span ish authorities of the islands who had
 tdemned him to death as the \ A5er of the rebellion. RiZal was 35
 lt Ihe time of his death. He was the son of Tagal parents who destined him for the church, but at school in Manila he was denied the honor due
 him as the head of the class, and his
 intellectual superiority aroused the
 hatred of his Spanish companions.
 He then abandoned the church and studied medicine in Manila, Paris,
 Leipsic, Berlin and Heidelberg. His reputation as an oculist was wide spread, but he abandoned the bril- liant professional career that opened before him to return to his native islands and organize revolutionary society. During his residence in Europe he had developed ideas that brought down upon him the wrath of the church, especially as he disputed the legality of the church's vast tracts of agricultural land. In 1896 he was tried and convicted, and or
 Dec. 30 he was shot through the breast by a detail of native soldiers Shortly before his execution he was married to Miss Josephine Bracken an American girl.
