USE AN ECONOMICAL METH 81.
-g Cd OF BURNING YOUR OIL

Because of the great variety Of
fuels used for house-heating pur-
poses, and because of the great varie-
ty of house-heating equipment and
conditions of operation, only the most
general rules can be given for firing
the fuel. The details must be deter
mined by actual trial in each fur
mace.
The conditions under which house.
heating apparatus is used are diff
cult to meet. The temperature of
the house is to be kept uniform, with
the firings far apart and with little
attention given to the fires. The
questions for each household to de-
eide are: How much variation in the
house temperature can be tolerated,
and how much attention can be given
to the furnace. The kind of heating
apparatus has a great deal to do with
the uniformity Of the house temper
allure and the, amount of attention
that must be given to the fire. Hot
water systems will give much more
uniform temperatures with less at
tention to the fires than hot-air sys-
tens. No one set of rules will work
satisfactorily in all cases. .-

LIVES LOST WHEN RED
CROSS STEAMER SINK

| St. John, Newfoundland, Feb. 25.-
EARLY today A survivors had been
taken off the wrecked steamship Flor
Eel which went on the rocks at Broad
| Cove near Cape Rice on Sunday.
They included Captain Martin and
the first officer.
Report Says 1902 Died
One hundred and'two persons have
! persisted from among the passengers
and crew of the ship, according to
word reaching here. This places the
death list higher than in statements
made by the owning company, the
Red Cross iine, which stated that 1856
were aboard the Florizel.
| Scenes of indescribable heroism in
! the face of odds which seemed insur-
mountable took place as the hardy
| Newfoundland seamen donned lie
belts, piled into puny dories and bat
| tied with the mountainous waves OF
the angry Atlantic.
At dawn today they began Their
| work of rescue
| Off the rocky coast where the waves
banged menacingly the gray hull OF
| what was the pride of the Red Cross
line ,loomed in pit:ful memory of it's
splendor.
Human forms fell on the deck as
the huge waves broke over and wash
ed across her.
Boat after boat was launched for
the survivors
Several fruitless efforts to get thru
the waves did not deter their efforts.
Undaunted they returned to their
work, finally succeeding in getting a
footing on the portion of the ship
above water
Taken to Safety
Ropes which had been carried along
were fastened to the ship and then
ran out to the vessels standing near
by. Life belts were hauled on the
wreck and placed about survivors,
most OF whom were unable at this
time to stand alone. Some were prac-
tically unconscious. These relics OF
what had been ship load Of human
ity were transferred to small boats
which conquered the waves and were
taken to safety. The work of rescue
lasted five hours and at the end of
the endeavor it was stated that prob
ably most of the saloon passengers
were lost.
A merchant named James and the
manager, John Nickel, were identified
among the survivors in addition to
the captain and the first officer. !

hertling Says General
Peace Talk Admissible

Amsterdam, Feb. 25.-Speaking be-
fore the reichstag today the imperial
German chancellor, Count Won Hert-
ling, made this declaration:
II can fundamentally agree with
the four principles which in President
Wilson's view must be applied in a
mutual exchange of views and thus
declare with President Wilson that a
general peace can be discussed on
such basis.
"Only one reserve need be made in
this connections:
l. ''These principles must not only be
proposed by the president of the
United States, but also must actually
be recognized by all states and peo-
PIES"
Discredits Wcrld Tribunal
"But this goal has not yet been
reached. There is still no court of
arbitration esta blished by all the ma
tons for the preservation of peace in
the name Of justice When President
Wilson incidentally says that the Ger
man chancellor is speaking to the TIL
bunal of the entire world, ! must de-
cline this tribunal as prejudiced, joy
Aully DIS l "OulN greet IL, IL an I'M
partial court of arbitration existed,
and gladly as l would cooperate to
realize such ideals.
Unfortunately, however, there is
no trace of similar statements on the
part of the leading powers of the en-
tente. England's war aims are still
thoroughly imperialistic and she
wants to impose on the world peace
according to England's good pleasure.
"When England talks about the
peoples right Of determination
she does not think of applying the
principle to Ireland, Egypt and In
dia"
Must be Safeguarded'
at has been repeatedly said that
we do not contemplate retaining Bel
GUM, but that we must be safeguard
ed from the danger Of country with
which we desire after the war to live
in peace and friendship, becoming the
object or jumping-of ground of en-
envy machinations. If, therefore,,
proposal came from the opposing side,
for example, from the government in
Havre, we should not adopt an antag-
onistic attitude, even though the dis
cussion at first might only be unbind-
ing.
Meanwhile l readily admit that
President Wilson's message of Febru-
airy II contains perhaps a small step
toward a mutual rapproachement."

SOLDIERS HELPED BY
GOVERNMENT IF WOUNDED

Washington, Feb. rs Mending
men broken by war is one of the
problems Of war which is receiving
the attention Of the war department,
and particularly of Surgeon General
William C. Gorgas.
Legislation is pending which would
authorize very extensive and help
full program.
Where the returning soldier is ply
sically handicapped it is proposed to
give him special training which VIII
enable him to work out his industrial
salvation inspite Of the handicap.
A one-armed man, for instance,
might be good accountant, or man
without legs an excellent chemist A
man who could not piow might be
able to do window dressing, and
man who could not run a foot race
might be able to sell bonds Or figure
interest on Investments.
Many Lines
The special lines outlined for voca-
cational education include. for in

road accounting, auditing, banking,
insurance, real estate, lunch ROOM
store and industrial management,
mathematics. bonds and investments,
proofreiading, window dressing and

alton.
AS side lines to agriculture for the
incapacitated ex-farmer there are
such studies as botany, chemistry,
with specialized courses definitely in
tended to enable a man to supervise
agricultural operations, to be a di.
restor or manager.
| The plan is to have what General
Gofgas calls curative workshops as
well as hospitals. -. -,
Is Workshops
| If it is carried out there will be for
instance, in the 16 divisions from
which soldiers have been wrawn 16
great hospitals with curative work
shops annexed to them, all working
in cooperation also with hospitals and
educational institutions now in ex
istance. In these curative workshops
there will be special appliances en-
aiding the individual to do light work
during his period of convalescence
and study.
For the blind there will be appara
tus so that they can learn touch read
ing and some useful trade.
A special treatment would be pro
vided for soldiers suffering from
nerve shock and similar disabilities
The plan is to have the men get vo
cational educational work before be
ing discharged from the army.
The function Of the government will
extend even to getting the recon
structed man a job before he is dis
charged.
Subsequently. as military needs
grow less, the workshops can be uset
