Merits of the Composition Are Not
Fully Developed, Says War
Department official.

Results of various tests of the new

States Fuel Administration. The re-
port deals principally with the compost
ton of this fuel, the available supply
of it's ingredients and its efficiency.
Assistant Secretary Crowell of the
War Department is credited in the re-

regard to the fuel had not reached such
a stage, that the department. could ex-
press a definite opinion as to the true
merits of the fuel.

SAYS LACK OF JANITORS
HANDICAPS THE SCHOOLS
Superintendent Fears Shortage of
Labor Will Cause Closing in
Severe Cold Periods.

Shortage of janitors. with an abso-
lutte lack of reserve force of janitors
and laborers. is causing the superin-
,tendent of schools concern lest seri-
Gus and prolonged cold snap come,
which, he fears, will necessitate clos
ing of some Of the schools for hours
during the early part of the day. and
possibly for days. The superintend-
ent said today that lack of trained
men in some of the schools has al
ready caused closing of some build
ings until sufficient heat could be got
up to make it safe for classes to be
held.
AT present we are short of men,
he said. but are managing TO get along
with what we have. The trouble lies
| in the lack of experienced men. Since
July /, 1917. the number of men we
have lost who have gone to other jobs
equals or exceeds the entire janitorial
force on that date. Numbers of those
who have filled the vacancies are un-
trained and some are incompetent.
Uniform heating equipment in ten
schools does not mean uniform radi-
alton in all the schools. A furnace
needs care and attention, and unless
| the man at each school knows his fur
| mace he is not going to get the best
results.
For this reason several of the
schools during recent cold snap
were forced to remain closed during
the early morning hours. / have d.
rected flying squad of eight or ten
men, the best in our janitorial force,
to visit the schools. instructing the
green men in the best and quick est
way to get up heat, and expect good
cancies We need trained men, and
need them badly, for 1 fear a pro-
longed cold spell will put us in a seri-
Gus predicament."

LABOR UNEMPLOYMENT
SPREADS TO 12STATES
Surplus in Only Seven States 8
Week Ago, Says Council Of
Defense, in Appeal.

Unemployment OF common labor
now exists in twelve states, as
against seven week ago. says a
message from the National Council OF
Defense to its state councils, which
are urged to do everything possible
to find employment for those need
ing it.
The situation as to common labor
has materially changed since the
armistice was signed" said the mes
sage.
THE twelve states are California,
Colorado, Idaho. Illinois. Indiana,
Iowa, Missouri. Montana. Nebraska,
North Dakota. Oregon and Utah. The
country's SURPRISES in all labor seem
to follow a belt across country from
Connecticut to Minnesota.
"The area of unemployment is in
creasing and it is probable that the
danger point will be reached within
thirty days. For that reason the
Secretary of Labor requests that all
state, county and community coun-
ellis OF defense bend every effort
toward finding or creating necessary
employment during the transition
period, Please continue to give every
aid to the employment service and
the bureau for returning soldiers.

TAKING BELGIANS BACK HOME
British Returning Exiles as Fast as
Conditions Will Permit.

LONDON, December 24.-(Corre-
spondence Of the Associated Press).--
From Southampton and from Grimsby.
Scotland, ships are taking back to Bel
gium the first consignment of the
thousands of Belgian refugees who
sought shelter in this country at the
beginning of the war. Present ar
engagements for the repatriation of the
exiIes contemplate the return only of
those belonging to Antwerp and vi
ciuity. Later those whose homes are
in other parts of Belgium will be
taken care of.
Speed with which general repatria-
ton of the Belglans will be carried
out depends upon the internal condi-
tions of Belgium and improvement of
road and rail transport. The repatria-
ton will be at the expense of the
British government
Putting in order lines of commune
cation with released territories in Bel
GUM has been a slow. laborious work,
and there are many Belgians in Eng
land who have not yet been able to get
into touch with their people at home.
