Coal Diversions To
Meet Emergencies

To overcome the hardships of the
recent frigid weather thousands OF
cars Of coal have been diverted while
en- route, under orders from the Fuel
Administration. Demands coming
from Cincinnati for coal for use OF
hospitals. hotels, and domestic use
resulted in the diversion of from
$50 to 800 cars. Seven hundred
and fifty cars, halted behind Penn
sylvania congestion, were forwarded
to New England for distribution,
while 500 cars from same source
were taken for the use of the Unit
ed States Shipping Board. Three
boat loads of bituminous coal at To-
ledo have been turned over to Michi-
gan authorities for distribution. Ur-
gent demands in North Carolina
were taken care Of when 800 cars
were diverted while in transit to
Hampton Roads, where weather con-
ditions were hampering the loading
into vessels. Four hundred cars
from Western West Virginia were di-
verified for local distribution in Ohio.

His Sacrifices.

'Are you reducing your expenses
Bin?" Indeed l am. A man can't
stand this high cost of living on the
salary he gets. I've cut out the wife's
weekly matinee, countermanded her
new suit, discharged the nurse, made
the kids give up moving pictures and
ice cream, stopped the high-price milk
for the baby and chloroformed the cat
to save it's living expenses. But if
this sort'of thing keeps on may have
to stop buying cigars and stop my club
dues"

OPENING of Suex Canal,

1T cannot be made, it shall not be
made, it will not be made; but if it
were made, there would be war be-
tween England and France for the pos
session of Egypt" So said Lord Palm
erston, in 1851, with regard TO the then
proposed Suez canal.
Nevertheless the forty eighth ami
versary Of the Inauguration of the for,
hidden waterway has passed, writes a
London correspondent. The first fleet,
consisting Of 40 vessels, passed
through next day, on November II
1869. The greatest draught was only
16 feet. How many Of those who par
ticlpated in the Inauguration survive?
TarmAr Princess Eugene is one.

 NOT UNUSUAL NUMBER.
 While casualties in offensive opera 7 tions necessarily are heavy, officers here do not believe there has been an unusual number among the America T forces. Proof of the falsity of the Ger man reports of great American losses, which have been circulated to impress the German population at home, is given by the fact that the American divisions, which began the fighting still were taking part in it last Sat- urday, official reports show.
 It was pointed out that had the cas- ualties among the American forces been unusually large some of the di- visions necessarily would have had to be withdrawn. The fact that none of them have been and that they have been fighting virtually continuously for 21 days is taken by officers hero to show their losses have been much smaller than those they have inflicted on the enemy, who has been forced t1 withdraw many of his divisions
