THE COAL EDI TOR SAYS ITi


the coal the needed additional amount
Of draft.
Where the big loss comes, in most
houses, Is that the man who handles
the furnace thinks he must have vastly
more draft in zero weather. SO think
ing, he throws the ash pit door. wide
open and let's her rip. And. she does
rip. My estimate Is that this practice
together with another-wastes about
one-fourth OF the coal. The heat goes
up the chimney rather than being used.
The other practice is quite as import
ant. You have noticed that when the
weather is cold, the wind is usually
blowing. "Stlll" cold days are rare.
That wind, blowing over the top OF
the chimney, sucks the heat up the
chimney and hence out Of the furnace.
One Saturday and Sunday l measured
the effect OF the wind. / found that
the consumption Of coal was doubled
while the temperature OF the water In
my boiler rose only 1--WE degrees. / had
wasted half OF the coal
In zero weather, one rule Is empera-
tive. II you use soft or bituminous
coal, the faster you burn the coal, the
more air Is needed over the top Of the
FIRE. Soft coal must be burned in part
from beneath and In part from above.
II checks the fire TO open the feed
door. But, Il improves the fire TO open
the draft slide in the feed door, This
slide should be opened wide when
fresh coal is fred. In freezing weather.
to open II one-hfth Of the way IS
enough. At 20 above zero IL should be
opened nearly half way. In zero
weather II should be opened nearly
three-qusrters Of the way.

BIG BATTLES COMING
Artillery DueIs Seen As Forerun'
ners of Conflicts.
Flanders, France and Italy Expected
Soon to be Scenes Of
Fierce Fights.

London, Jan. S.-Signs are not want
ing that big battles are in process Of
making in Flander, France and Italy,
although infantry operations in the
major war theatres are just now of a
minor character.
At various points in these three
war zones intensive artillery duels
are going on day and night. They
are particularly severe in the Pres
and Cambria sectors, where British
are facing Germans along the 'Aisne.
on the Verdun sector, and along tie
Moselle river, where forces of the
German crown prince and Grand
Duke Albrecht of Wurttemburg are
opposing the French, and in the
Italian highlands from the region of
Lake Garda, eastward to the Pave
river, where the Austro- German
troops are aligned against the 1tal-
ians, French and British.
Heavy German Losses.
|. Southwest of Ypres, in Flanders,
Germans have made an attempt to
enter the British positions, but met
with repulse and heavy losses under
fire of British infantry and machine
guns.
Likewise, an attempted raid
against French positions on the his
toric Hill 304, in the Verdun sector,
was stopped with sanguinary losses
to Germans.
These two maneuvers constitute
the only activity by infantry forces
at any point, except that small Brit
ish patrols at several places forced
crossings of the Pave river against
the Teutonic allies,

America Not to Stacker Prepara'
tons Because of Germany's
Peace Proposals.
READY FOR SACRIFICE
Allies Determined Central Powers
Must Accept Terms or Fight to
Finish-Conference Of Premiers
Expected Soon.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Without q
thought that peace may be drawing
near America will push her war work.
Secretary of War Baker and other
officials hold there must be no let
ting down in preparations. Peace,
they say, now is up to Germany.
Lloyd George has stated Allied terms
and insofar as unofficial expressions
here go these are Americas terms.
too.
FooIhardy to Slow Up Now.
II Germany wants to reform her
self and accept those terms tho way
is open, but II she wants to fight on
the Allies and America are fully
aware of and ready for tho bloody
sacrifice involved, all officials agree.
They added it would be little short
of reasonable and foolhardy for this
nation to slow up now, merely be-
cause of growing convictions Allies
and Teutons are getting more near
~ together through a process of un-
official statement of peace aims.
Shift Into Diplomatic Field.
True, authorities here, including
men high in the military councils,
do believe peace is coming more
rapidly than is the general belief.
But if they had their way wholly
there would not even be a state
ment of war aims. Instead there
would be a policy OF blood and iron
which would ultimately make the
German lines crumble and the kais'
er beg for peace.
Some military men, however, are
inclined to feel that already the war
is shifting into the diplomatic field,
that by the mere fact of statement
Of terms from both sides desire
for peace is manifest which soWs
the seed for actual negotiations.
Sees Long War or Quick Peace.
Not that they think Germany is
going to accept Lloyd Georges
terms right away, but they believe
Germany now knows she cannot
win, and is willing, therefore to go
far to get an adjustment.
A neutral diplomat sized up the
situation as case, of peace in
three or four months, or war for three
or four years. That may be said to
be more or less prevalent opinion
here, though those who venture into
prophecy vary in their maximum and
minimum figures considerably.
