Clemson College, Feb. 14.-Address-
ing the farm demonstration agents
meeting here tonight b. b. Gossett,
federal fuel administrators for South
Carolina, made it plain that it is in
cumbent upon the people of the

fering from the lack Of fuel might re-
suit.
NO one knows how much coal
there will be for general fuel purposes
next year." Mr.. Gossett said. In
deed it is entirely possible that those
communities that have an abundant
wood supply available may be denied
any coal next winter. especially rs
they have the entire spring and sum
mer to prepare for the winter by lay
ing i'm large reserve stock of wood"

Many Boslies Recovered.

Montreal, FeD. 15.-With forty-one
charred bodies of babies recovered
from the ruins of west wing of Grey
Nunnery, which was swept by fire last
night, workmen today searched for
other possible victims. Officials are
unable to give the exact number of
missing, but it is estimated that the
probable loss of life is fifty to one
hundred. The ire was caused by de-
fective wiring.
More bodies which were recovered
this morning raised the death toll to
fifty-two. Nearly one thousand Grip
pied men, women, wounded soldiers
and young babies were enabled to
escape through the valiant efforts of
the nuns.

MI1TENS IN FRANCE,
Truck Drivers Make Gloves of Coat

With the American Army in France.
Jan. 81 Correspondence of The
Associated Press army
truck drivers have found a use for the
strips of heavy khaki cloth cut from

coats were too long when first they
donned them. The bottoms. becom-

mud, Topped about he legs of the
men and made the garment q bur-
den. Some soldiers discarded their
overcoats whenever it was possible
for them to and many colds or other
ailments resulted.
Then one entire divisional newly
| landed organization of former Nation
al Guardsmen-sudde appeared
with coats that reached to the knee
or an inch above it. The old long
coats were exchanged by their own
ers for the new ones in response to
an order signed by the general COM
manding. About the same time SOL
ders in other divisions cut their coats
off themselves or had them trimmed
down. Some men who We're among
