sAyING 1OO.OOO.OOO ions on COAL.

SAVING 1OO,OOO.OOO TONS OF COAL.
The Fuel Administration estimates
that the country needs 100,0OO,OOO tons
of coal more than usual this year, on
account of the increased demand for
war industries and export. 1t appears
virtually impossible to produce that
much more. At best, it is a tremend-
Gus undertaking.
Production can be speeded up some
what, and will be; but that is not the
only recourse. Economy in burning
coal may accomplish as much toward
gaining that requisite tonnage, as
greater energy in digging and hauling
IT, In other words, the public has as
much responsibility in the matter as
the coal operators and miners.
Engineers figure that industrial con-
Germs might save 20,000000 to S0,O00,-
GOO tons year by improved methods
of burning the coal and using the heat
and power they get from it. Fur
naces are often defective. Most fac
tories still pour out huge quantities of
fuel in the form of smoke-an unfail-
ing sign of wasteful combustion.
Steam is allowed to so to waste.
Steam pipes or hotwater pipes are not
encased in asbestos Machinery runs
much of the time unproductively. \
great saving might be effected through
the consolidation of power plants.
Householders have even more re-
sponsibility, for there is comparative
IL more waste in homes than else
where. This is a good time of year
10 get busy and apply the remedy.
Do you depend to any great extent
on the old. wasteful method of heating
your house by means of crate fires,
which let nearly all the heat so up the
chimney? DO your heating stoves, if
YOU have them, give full value for the
coal consumed? Is the furnace scien-
tifcally constructed, and in good work
ing order? Are the steam pipes or hot
air pipes properly wrapped to prevent
the escape OF heat? Is the house
itself as tight and warm as it may be
made. or a regular sieve when winter
winds strike it? These days of
weather respite afford a chance to look
after all such matters.
We can save most of that 100,00O,OoO

THE ALLIED LEADER.

The turning OF Germany's supreme
offensive into a crushing defeat is
personaI triumph for General Foch.
The generalissimo of the allied arm
les has now fully justified his right to
command, as the foremost military eX-
perts OF France, England and America
believed he would.
Neved was there a more severe test
OF military patience than that endur-
ed by Foch through the gloomy weeks
when Germany was dealing blow after
blow. and the allied armies were
Welding mile after mile OF precious
territory, without every striking an ef-
fective blow in return.
Time and time again it was expected
that Foch would launch a counter
drive. He was known TO be an ofen-
sive fighter by instinct and profession.
Yet he remained steadily on the de-
fensiye In the fourth German drive
observers almost everywhere hoped
and believed that he would throw his
"armv of maneuvre" against flank OF
the big salient created by the advance
of the Crown Prince toward Paris, be-
tween the Marine and the Aisne. Moth
ing happened. except the gradual
tightening and stiffening OF the defen-
sive lines.
We know now. or suspect, that Foch
had no army OF maneuvre.' He did
the only thing he could do. with the
material at hand. That Hun advance
must have been more intolerable to
him than to any other man in France.
But he endured it, with silent patience.
At last his opportunity arrived.
with a million Americans added to his
forces. and the Kaiser's army weaken
ed by the steady drain OF previous
drives. Foch made his plans and bided
his time. His previous strategy had
lured the enemy into a false sense OF
security. The Germans thought he
would not. or could not, do more than
try to stem their own advance, as be-
fore. Then. at the strategic moment
Foeh struck like a thunderbolt
The German drive is stopped. 1t
seems safe to say that the whole Ger
man offensive which began last March
Is ended. The Hun army is still big
and strong. but not big and strong
enough to work its will in France and
Flanders. Its reserves are used up.
Its morale has sunk to low ebb.
The prestige of its commanders has
waned. The German people, when
they learn how their peace offensive
was shattered, will never again dare
to hope for a victorious end of the
war
This glorious result is due to Ferdi-
nand Foch more than any other man.
II gives him enormous prestige. He
is now the biggest military figure in
the world, enjoying the unlimited con-
iidence of hundreds of millions.

Send Them Overseas Only as
Last Resort.
To Be Called at All Only at
Presidents Discretion.
TRAINING, TOO
Boys Will Get More Than
Military Instruction.
Bill Will Be Introduced in Sen.
ate Monday.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Eighteen to
forty-five re the draft ages fixed in
the new man power bill to be intro
duced in the senate Monday by Sena-
tor Chamberlain.
Secretary Baker officially an
nounced that the draft age limits fixed
in the bill he gave Senator Chamber
lain this morning are s to As.
The bill gives the president discre-
tion to call those below 81 for train
ing purposes in this country or to be
called as a last resort if it becomes
necessary o use them overseas.
Announcement that the age limits
are 18 to as caused much surprise in
view of the opposition that congress
has shown to going below FL. Pro-
vision that those below 81 are to be
used only as last resort is believed,
however. to have had considerable eff
feet in Iollifying those who believe
that no man 4. ould be called into mill
tary service Unless he is at least of
voting age.
Vocational Training Also.
The presidents idea is to have those
between Is and 81 to receive not only
military but vocational education.
The ages fixed in the bill are those
which have been favored right along
by Senator Chamberlain. Secretary
Baker. however. was thought 10 favor
making the minimum 19 years with
the maximum somewhere between 50
and 40.
The fact that he was converted to
the 1S-45 limit is believed due in large
part TO the attitude of Provost Marshal
General Crowder who has strongly
advocated making all men between Is
and 4 subject to some sort of service.
If the bill is enacted as proposed it
will empower Crowder to extend his
work or fight order to a much broader
degree than at present
Crowder recently told the senate
committee that if he were given such
a bill he would guarantee there
would be no further shortages of labor

BOOTY IMMENSE.
Seemingly Impossible for Army
To Gather Materials.
Germans Left Enormous Stores
of Shells and Guns.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The complete
success of the allies is indicated by IL
confidential message reaching Chief of
Staff March from an officer who at the
time of wiring had just returned from
ported that it was seemingly impos-
sible'' for any army to gather the
number of guns and shells that were
abandoned by the Germans in their
retirement.
The message added that the Ger
mans had been driven back with out
time to bury their dead and the Ger
man bodies lay so thickly it was inn
possible to advance without walking
over them.
Enemy Pushed Back 16 Miles.
Discussing the general military
81 i-uation. March pointed out that the
perimeter of the salient has now been
reduced to forty-eight miles as against
seventy-four at the start. The depth
of the enemy's retirement is now six
teen miles
Walked Into Soissons.
The French and British pounding at
both flanks of the salient, General
March said, had resulted in the col
lapse of the German resistance on
August 1, and the French had walked
into scissors.
The advance the center has aver
aged three miles on a front of thirty
miles, the chief of staff said. while
on the east flank, west of Rheims. an
advance of four miles on a four-mile
front already had been made.
