! London, May 1.-THE total Of Brit

. as follows:
Killed or died OF ,wounds-Onicers

Reports Of British casualties usual

evidently represents losses suffered
when the fighting in Flanders and

ITALIANS HOLD HElaHT.
Austrians Fail in Attempt to Regain
Lost Ground.

[By the Associated Press.]
Italian Army Headquarters in North
ern Italy, Monday, May 13.-Italian
troops repulsed with heavy loss a des-
perate enemy attack last night to re-
deem the loss of Mont Carino. It is be-
lieved that this was only the first Of a
series Of efforts to regain the lost
ground. owing to the value Of the
height, which commands the approach
es to the valley leading from Trent to
Rovereto.
The fight last night was in the dark
ness and was a. bloody nd-to-hand
struggle over the rocky slopes Of the
mountains. The Italian positions. how
ever. were maintained.
Thus far the fighting around Mont
Carlno has been Of local character, and
not part Of any general offensive
altho the outposts show increasing ac-
tivity all along the mountain front.

TWO MILLION TONS OF
COAL MUST Be SAVED
In Georgia That War Industries
May Be Supplied.

BY burning wood GeorgianS must
ave two million tons of coal this win
f~r in order that our rapidly growing
war industries may be fully supplied
The government used fifty million
tons last year in it's war activities,
but this year it will need approximate
ly one hundred and fifty million tons.
1t is almost impossible for the mines
to greatly increase their output in
view of the serious shortage of labor,
and hence all of the extra coal that
is needed by the government must be
saved by the people. Georgia's share
in the saving is 100000 tons.
Coal is the very basis of the activi-
ties of our armies. There is not
single war commodity or activity
that is not dependent on coal, that
has not directly or indirectly the pow
er of coal somewhere in its production.
1t takes coal to operate munition
plants, move troops by rail, propel
transport ships, keep our navy on
guard, and then move food, soldiers
and munitions to the front. Coal is
the fuel best adapted to war purposes.
When we burn wood, we not only re-
lease coal for war purposes but we
relieve the congestion of the railroads,
clearing the tracks that men and sup
plies may move more rapidly towards
the front.
The relative heat value of wood to
coal is much higher than is ordinari-
ly thought. One cord of seasoned ash,
oak or hickory is equivalent to one
ton of soft COAL The fuel value de-
creases with pine, cypress and cotton
wood, and with the amount of season
ing. Our wood supply in Georgia is
large enough to supply all our needs.
The annual growth of cord wood
greatly exceeds the annual consump-
ton and this will still hold true if
wood entirely replaced coal for home
use.
If every family in Georgia would
reduce its consumption of coal by fif-
ty per cent, the amount asked of us
by the Government could be easily
saved. Many families in the rural dis
tricts will find it possible to entirely
replace coal with wood. In every case
coal must be used economically. The
Federal Fuel Administration will en-
deavor to distribute what little coal
that will be allowed for this state, to
only the largest cities that need 1t
worst and to those industrial plants
manufacturing products essential to
the war.
Farmers who have cut larger sup
plies of wood than they need, should
get in touch with their county agents
and local fuel administrators. These
men are cooperating and are ready to
assist farmers in marketing their
wood. 1t is not yet too late to cut
a good supply Of cord wood. Those
who wish to harvest wood for fuel
purposes and at the same time i'm
prove their future stands of timber,
should communicate with E. w. Had
ley, extension forester, Georgia State
College of Agriculture. Demonstra-
tions will be given throughout the
State on the proper methods of cut
ting and thinning woodlands
Every one is asked to help. The
Fuel Administration points out that
the best way is to Burn Wood and Save
Coal.
