COOPERATION OF PUBLIC NEEDED
 IN SAVING COAL
Literature Soon to Be Issued Showing How Conserva-
 tion Can Be Effected.

At a meeting of the fuel chairmen in Hartford, which local fuel Admin istrator T. J. Pardy attended yester- day. a number of matters came up for discussion. Among them was the question of financing the various off, ces of these chairmen throughout the state. It was unanimously agreed that this expense should be borne either by the federal authorities or else by the State Council of Defence, and it was referred to these bodies for action.
 Administrator Pardy said this morning relative to the conservation of coal: "The cooperation of the public is necessary in order to obtain the best results from the coal as de- livered in this city. Several authori- ties on heating claim that No. 1 buck wheat coal can be used in as high a proportion as 25 per cent.
 "This coal can be mixed in provided proper care is exercised in using it. There will be literature ready for dis tribution within few days which vii show whereby this conservation can be effected"

 The apex is six miles wide and runs from Rainecourt to Warvillers. The important Peronne-Roye high road and railway is within short cannon range and British scouts are reported within one mile of Chaulnes, the mid- dle point of the Peronne-Roye line.
 Much material and supplies were left behind, and even entire railroad trains, including one loaded with troops, were captured by the on rush. ing British.
 Prisoners taken by the Allies now total 24,000. Between 200 and 300 guns also were captured. French troops have taken 4,000 of the ag- gregate of prisoners. Three colonels and their entire regimental staffs were captured by the French. The Allied losses have not been heavy.
 Apparently the Germans have made little effort at prolonged defense in the center and Berlin makes no claim that they have. How effective was the first Allied smash Thursday is shown by the German report of the fighting that day which says the AL lies reached the artillery lines.

HAVE YOU SUGAR
 FOR YOUR CANNING?

Owing to the present great shortage of sugar, there is a tendency toward a considerable decrease in canning. In spite of this shortage, however, every bit of produce must be saved-and can be.
 There are several substitutes which may be used in canning fruits and ma king jellies-chief of which are corn syrup and sugar beet syrup. The ad- vantage of the sugar beet syrup is that the beets may be grown in your own garden and the syrup made in your kitchen.
 If you want to make some of this syrup for your home use we are ready to help you. We have a limited sup ply of sugar beet seed which we shall give away as long as the supply holds out With each package of seed we will send directions for growing the beets and making the syrup.
 Do you want to be one of the few to carry out this project this year? If so, fill out the coupon below and mail to us, and we will gladly forward you the seed-if you do not hesitate so long that the seed is all gone before your request comes in.

March 81 have engaged l26 divisions
"Of these the British alone has en-
gagged seventy nine, the French alone
have engaged twenty-four, and the re
