LONDON is STIRRED
BY FUEL SAVING
New Gas and Electricity ReguIa-
tions Fall Heavily on
H0uSehoIderS.

The regulations regarding the re-
ductiOn of the use of gas and elec-
tricity have caused considerable feel
Ing in London among households us
Ing these supplies for lighting and
cooking purposes. The effect of the
order has been to place the careful
person who has kept down her bills
In a more difficult position than her
neighbor who has been wasteful.
Many families in view Of the coal
rationing scheme have installed gas or
electricity for heating and warming
purposes, and they now find that un-
der the conditions of the order these
appliances will be insufficient for their
needs.
The object of the order was stated
as being the saving of coal, but the
effect, especially in the middle-class
homes, will be to rely more on the
coal fire for cooking and heating pur-
poses than the other means, and as a
result more coal will be burned.
The London traffic problem was
never in even fair way of solution
until the American experts came over
and took the matter In hand some
years ago. But they succeeded In do
ing more than solving the problem of
rapid transit-they taught the people
to use their systems, and the passen-
ger traffic of London has grown enor-
mously in consequence.
Today experts are needed more
than ever as the situation of London
traffic under the present condition goes
from bad to worse. The commanders
ing by the military authorities has re-
duced the supply of motor omnibuses
to a mere dribble, while the saving of
coal and electricity has caused the
withdrawal of many of the surface
cars and the subway trains.
In consequence every vehicle Is
crowded and to attempt to board
either train or car or bus during the
rush hours is only possibility for the
athlete.

Dogs AND CATS ARE
eaten IN BELGIUM
Former Almost a Luxury, Says
Prof. Carney Of Louvain,
Now in Washington.

Prof Albert ]. Carney OF the Uni
versity Of Louvain, now attached to
the Belgian legation In Washington,
said that dog meat is almost luxury
In Belgium and that cats also are be-
ing slaughtered for the table. Old peo-
pie and children are dying In large
numbers, and tuberculosis Is rapidly
spreading. Professor Carney says:
Coffee is very scarce In Belgium
and is not obtainable under $5
pound. Eggs sell at 16 cents each. To
preserve, however, that kind of food,
so badly needed for the invalids, now
so numerous In Belgium, the works
of rescue provide low-priced food for
the hens. Swiss cheese is obtainable
at So pound. Chocolate sells at $4
pound and cocoa at $3.50. Olive oil is
So bottle.
"This situation has melted to the
discovery Of numerous substitutes. A
severe test has been applied to imita-
tion products and all that was harm
full has been pitilessly excluded. What
is more interesting to record is the
use of strawberry leaves instead Of
tobacco, of sirup instead Of butter.
Moreover, all kinds of native fruits,
generally neglected, have now mar
ket value. Dog roses bring cents a
pound, wild hazel nuts cost 10 cents,
with prunes cents, elderberries A
cents, etc. The Germans have regu-
lated the exploitation of acorns and
beechnuts, of which they send great
quantities to Germany In order to ex-
tract oil from them.
"They also have commandeered fat
cats In many places. Since a tax Of
So has been imposed by them upon
dogs, the number Of those animals
which their owners have killed and
eaten is large. Dog meat Is said to be
commonly used"

HUNS REFUSE A
SECOND HELPING

France, Aug. 3.-In a brilliant op-

extended their line in the Bois de
Meuniere and made further progress
with the cooperation of the French

Farther to the west the Americans
consolidated their positions in front

Cierges. In both operations we met
and overcame the strongest kind of
resistance by the German shock
troops.
In the Bois de Meuniere our troops
met the 200th Jaeger division and
the 216th Reserve division Against
the positions here the Americans
made six attacks, but were driven
back each time by superior numbers
ana many macnlne guns.
Yesterday new attack with heavy
artillery assistance was made. The
Americans swept up the western edge
of the woods, using the bayonet free
ly against the Germans, who stuck at
the machine guns until killed. When
the line to the east did not advance
so quickly as another section the Ger
mans swung around and two COM
panies got into the clearing behind
our troops. A portion of our men
turned and attacked the German
companies with the bayonet, ami
hilating them.
The Germans are strongly en-
trenched on a hill north of the Cier-
ges vicinity, and violent fight is
now going on for possession of that
position. A German officer captured

There are, according to figures being

incomplete and the estimates were
made on reports received up to June
10. This number indicates an increase
of 40 per cent over last year when
there were 100000 garden munition
plants at work. Figuring in the in
creased cost this year over last, fur
ther estimates will be made by the
commission both on the number of gar
dens and the estimated crop value.
