RUSHIHG OUR TROOPS ABROAD
War Department Carrying Out Plans
Recently Made for Speeding
Aid to the Allies.

Washington, April 9.-Transporta-
ton of American troops to France al
ready is proceeding at the accelerated
rate contemplated by the speeding up
measures taken after the Battle of
Picardy began, Acting Secretary
Crowell made this statement today,
but would give no details.
For military reasons the extent Of
the increased troop movement has not
been made public.
Following the conference between
Secretary Baker and allied officials,
orders were given under which a Brit
ish official statement was issued, say
ing American forces were to be bri-
gaded with British troops in order to
hasten American participation In the
war. Officials explained today the
process to be followed was similar to
that adopted in placing American
troops in the front lines with the
French for training.
1t has been estimated thirty days
training Of this character, with Ameri-
can battalion units assigned with the
British organizations, will fit the new
corners for activity duty at the front.
All divisions now moved from this
side are composed of men who have
had several months OF preliminary
training and who need only final in
structions to take their full share in
the fighting.
The training process Will be quicker
with the British than with the French
II is believed, because the language
difficulty does not exist. American
units will find every British veteran
an instructor and there will be nj
need for interpreters,
1t was indicated the new plans cal
for a more extensive training scheme
with the British army than has beer
the case with General Pershing's orig
inal force. There pEobably viii be nj
attempt to set up a purely American
force within the British ranks, as ha
been done with the French,
The Americans are to be withdraw
when trained and turned over to Ger
eral Pershing as a part of his army.

COAL AND COAL-DUST

Burn your coal and your coal-dust separ-
ately. Either may be used as fuel but a
mixture of the two is almost incombustible
TO burn coal-dust, special type Of furnace
is required but this can not be used when
Jumps are mixed with the dust. And when
used in an ordinary furnace the dust in
this mixture simply serves to clog up the
apertures between the Jumps, choking off
the air entirely. The remedy is to separate
the coal and the dust and burn each in it's
Appropriate type Of furnace. Recent ex-
periments, described in The Electrical
World (New York. June 22), prove that
clean coal Of inferior heating quality may
give better practical results than a better
quality used in the form of Jumps clogged
with dust. These facts are of especial in
terest just now, when buyers of coal can
not be pickers and choosers, but must be
content to take their fuel in whatever shape
it comes to them. We read:
''The encessity Of the utmost economy in
the use Of fuel is gradually being brought
home to all operators. Through all of the
discussion before the convention of the Ma
tional Electric Light Association last week
that thought was constantly recurring.
''EXactly in line with various recent dis
cussions of fuel economy was the descrip-
ton by L. A. Stenger of experiments on the

ties of dust. Everybody is getting at pres

of the Post Intelligencer copies an article
from the Louisville COurer-JOurnal relative
to the discrimination against colOred nurses
entering the service abroad. It is true that
we have great shortage of nurses, evil
dence of this being in the continued re-
quest for young women to train as nurses
for service in this country releasing trained
nurses for the firing line duty. Is not this
the time of all times when we should all
work together, shoulder to shoulder as bro
Their with brother withdrawing color line
and racial prejudice of which by this time
we should all be heartily ashamed Of har-
boring in our breasts if we would be known
as patriotic Americans? Why should one
American citizen discriminate against an
other American citizen solely because of
color, and this is what we are doing.
In Thursdays parade, five hundred or
more Americans, including American Japan
csc, but excluding American colored men,
marched in body to serve their country in
her time Of need. Next week twenty-five
American colored men from this city, as
eager to serve and as ardently patriotic
march alone to perform the same service
for their country, which is as truly their
country as it is mine. Why can't they all
march together, side by side when we are
all united in the common purpose Of des-
troying the Hun, thereby perpetuating lib
erty and civilization? Let us have civiliza-
ton at home too. The bravery and loyalty
Of the colored soldier on the battle field has
never been disputed and in this world con-
fict we have countless proofs of it. Neither
have we ever had cause to question the 10y
atty and patriotism of those left at home
Now is the time to bury the hatchet' and
do unto others as we would have others do
unto us and not only for the duration of
the war, but for all time

fuel of uniform size. Mr.. Stenger's expert
ments were directed chiefly to the air-fow
through fuel-beds composed, on the one
hand, of clean coal and, on the other. of
coal carrying much dust, meaning by dust
particles up to 1b-inch in diameter. AL
though the general effect of dust in choking
air-supply is familiar, the extent to which It
may do this and the disastrous effect on ef-
fciency, as disclosed by Mr.. Stenger's fig
ures, are somewhat surprizing
''The immediate effect of dust, particu-
larly if it settles in layers and is not uni
formly disseminated, is to choke the passage
OF air so much that the combustion in ordi-
nary furnaces is very unsatisfactory Wet
ting the coal aggregates the dust in humps
or attaches it to the larger pieces of coal.
so that the particles no longer pack and
obstruct the air. Even after drying so
much of the dust sticks together and to
the rest of the coal that the aggregate burns
more freely than before wetting
''The most striking effect brought out was
the degree to which dust Injuries the fuel
efficiency. One Of the experiments showed
that a dust-free coal of only 5000 British
thermal units gave much better results than
dust coal of 1000 British thermal units
Of course, in suitably designed furnaces one
can burn almost any kind of fuel with fair
economy, but in attempting to fire udst-
bearing coal in ordinary furnaces there is
certain to be considerable loss Even under
very favorable circumstances the dust is
still an embarrassment in obtaining efficient
combustion.
Poor combustion means not only lowered
efficiency but lower boiler capacity Mr.
Stenger's suggested remedy for dealing with
this troublesome mater is simple and in
plants of considerable size ought to work
out very well. 1t is merely to crush the coal
as received to uniform rather small size
and then to screen out thoroughly the dust
The crusht coal would then be used in the
ordinary furnaces while the dust would
be pulverized and fed to boilers equipped
with suitable combustion chambers, as in
Dictated recently in these columns In this
way the dust instead Of obstructing the
combustion of the normal coal would itself
be burned at an efficiency quite up to all
that it's value should imply"
