the latter part of this assertion there
exists the undoubted fact that naval

this frame of mind. though for the
most part their leisure hours are given
up to study of matters connected with
their ceiling. One well known captain

1917 LUMBER CENSUS.
Ouestionnaires Have Been Mailed to 3d.
900 Sawmill Operators.

Washington, d. C., Jan. pa census
of the lumber production of the conn
try during 1917 is to be made by the
forest service in cooperation with the
National Lumber Manufacturers asso-
citation. as in past years. missionaries
have already been mailed to the 10000
sawmills throughout the country asking
that the amount of each kind of lumber
cut be reported promptly
1t is pointed ont by officials of the
forest service that the lumber census is
OF particular importance at this time.
because of the large quantities of spe
cial material needed for the conduct OF
the war. Several of the government de-
partments, they say, depend upon the
forest service for data and technical adj
vice ON subjects connected with lumber.
Since the entry of the United States into
the war, this demand has been greatly
increased. In many cases the infoTma-
ton gathered by the forest service in
previous years has made it possible to
determine at once where certain classes
Of material could be obtained in the arg-
est quantities and consequently has en-
abled the government to get i'll direct
touch with the proper mills without
loss of time
Because of unsettled conditions in the
humber trade in 1917 it has been some
what difficult to Judge the current pro-
dueton. Heavy calls for lumber made |
by the government have been partially |
offset by transportation difficulties and |
scarcity of labor. Officials say that it /
will require a careful census TO deter
mine whether the output was more or
less than preceding years. They point
ont at the same time that the lumber
can aid the work mate
rally by filling ont and returning
the questionnaires that have
been sent them.

ENGLAND is TO
SAVE COAL BY SUPER
POWER STATIONS
1t Is Proposed to Establish Sixteen of
These Stations to Supply the
Whole Country with
Electric Power.

London, Jan. Is Correspondence OF
Associated essl-To effect a saving
in coal and its by-produets officially es-
timated at fl00.000,00O year, the
British ministry OF reconstruction has
approved scheme for supplying all the
industries in Great Britain with cheap
electric power, generated at big super
power stations not more than sixteen
for the whole of the country. The
scheme is one OF the most ambitious
that has yet been worked out to enable
the country to recover from the eeonom-
ic losses Of the war. Its details are Civ
en- i'll report from the coal conservation
committee of the ministry OF reconstruc-
ton
The amount of coal used to produce
industrial power in the United Kingdom
is about S0000000 tons yearly. The
new project, it is claimed, would enable
the same amount of power TO be pro
duced with an expenditure of only 25..
100000 tons, and the 55,000,000 tons
saved would represent not only economy
in mining but also a gigantic economy
in transport. The committee, however,
does not believe that the change will
mean the mining of less COAL but rather
that Great Britain viii enormously in
crease its amount of industrial horse
power, and the extent to which this
can be raised, it is explained, is one Of
the main conditions necessary for a gen.
eral rise in national standards of life.
The committees proposal rests on the
assumption that electricity is the most
economical and convenient form in which
to apply power to industry and that the
only way to generate electricity cheaply
Is TO generate il on a very large scale
The report only anticipates what cleo
trical specialists have foreseen for wears
as the natural electrical development in |
a country like Great Britain, which is
small in area, closely settled, and rich |
in coal In view of these conditions, |
Great Britain is regarded as the country |
in all the world best situated to profit |
most from such a national monopoly of
power
The question in controversy is who is
10 own and manage the monopoly. The
committee recommends that the sixteen
super power stations should be owned
md managed by private companies with
| national body of government commits
'ioners controlling them on behalf of the
tate, much after the model of the pres
mt state-control of the British railways
several of the London newspapers take
Exception to this arrangement. declaring
hat the whole scheme must be run by
nd for the state.
The committees report says in part
"Thc committee proposes to supply all
ur industries with electrical power
Generated at big super-power stations,
nd to eliminate or combine all smaller
tations. The primary object is to econ /.
mize our coal supplies. The saving in
cal, together with the saving of the by !
roducts now wasted by the burning of !
GAL in open CRATES and boiler furnaces. '
'ould mean fl00.000,0O0 a year"

HIS ARMY AIDS
Reorganizes Quartermaster
Corps by Dropping
Generals
CIVILIANS TO
GET BIG JOBS
Work So Adjusted That the
Necessary Supplies
Will Be Shipped

Washington, Jan. 2s.-Gen. Goethals,
Panama canal builder. is cleaning house,
literally, in the quartermaster corps.
His reorganization of that branch has
already caused the removal of two brig.
adler generals and the appointment of
civilians noted in the business world as
leaders in their lines.
Gen. Abel Smith, in charge OF the old
supply department, has retired along
with Gen. Thomas Cruise, who had charge
of the financial section.
Gen Goethals found the quartermaster
corps seriously disorganized with no eff
fective plans for the future and with lit
tie real efficiency. Goethals' friends say
he started to apply the principle OF no
favoritism and to keep out the existing
regime.
Smiths bureau was made into two di-
visions, one for clothing and equipage
under A. l.. Scott, Boston defense coun-
ell member, whose business will be to
get clothes when they are needed; the
other for maintenance and distribution
under II. j. Thorne of Montgomery,
Ward & Co., Chicago, whose task will be
to get these clothes to the soldiers.
Heretofore there has been much talk of
large clothing orders shipped but this,
by no means, meant that the clothing
arrived at any reasonable time. Scott
and Thorne will see TO it that there is
less delay and friction hereafter.
b. NJ, Lilly OF New York, known as
top-notch transportatj expert, has been
selected to be in charge of embarkation
and will reach here to-day. Lilly, it was
said, can Dust Gen. Chauncey Baker from |
