DEFEATED TURK

Lieut.. Col. Davis of q. s. Army
Gives Mounted Forces Credit for
Holy Land War Victory.

Washington, Feb. "a. - Cavalry
won the war-at least so much of
the world conflict as was fought
out in notwithstanding to
Lieut.. Col. Edward Davis, q. S.
army, who has just returned to
Washington to present to the gem
eral staff his observations on more
than six years service with the
armies of other nations.
Before the entry of the United
States in the world war, and after
wards, Col. Davis served with the
forces of Great Britain, France,
Russia, Italy, Serbia and Greece.
Later he served as military attache
in Holland and at Berlin. Accord
ing to Col. Davis, his most vaiua-
BILE military experience was with
British cavalry during the Jerusa-
lem campaign, and he stated he was
SURPRISED to find that so little
was known in the United States re-
garding the facts of General Allen

the Holy Land, each of which he
characterized as "an exquisite ex-
ample of the combined operations

amount of coal and cover the top
with very fine coal, or even with
ashes. This increases the resist
ance through the fuel bed, so that
only a small amount of air flows.
Another way, and a good way too,
according to Mr. Hood, is to allow
ashes to accumulate on the CRATE
to add to the resistance of the flow
of air. While this is a good way
in mild weather it is not so good
in severe weather. because one can
not get as much coal into the fire
box, and it is usually best to keep
the fire box completely filed with
fuel. Then when the resistance
through the fuel bed is increased,
if the draft is maintained, there is
apt to be too much leakage through
the ash pit and too vigorous fire.
By opening the check draft so that
air can flow up the chimney with
out flowing through the fuel bed,
the air passing through the fuel
bed is greatly reduced. 1t makes
little difference whether done by

without water, without baggage
of any sort. the cavalry made long
hard marches and outflanked the
enemy column again and again.
Finally, on the plain of Arranged
don, the last struggle took place.
During the first stage of that bat
tie the Turks fought welLbut were
steadily forced back. Presently
the Turk front between the sea and
the Jordan was broken, and through
the gap along the sea coast Allenby
launched his cavalry which swept
northward and then eastward to
Nazareth, across the rear of the
whole Turkish host. The German
commander Liman Won Sanders,
barely escaped from the net by pre-
cipitate flight, but what was left
of the Turkish armies. more than
600, 900 men and 400 guns fell into
Alienby's hands. A month later
Turkey capitulated.

EXPERT TELLS
HOW To MANAGE
HOME FURNACE
sureau Engineer Gives Advice on
Problem Of House Heating
Coal and Air Problems.

Washington, Feb. 24.--Advice to
operators OF house-heating furn-
aces. who under the keen urge of
chill blasts of winter have applied
to the Bureau of Mines for a solu-
ton of difficulties experienced in
caring for their fires over night, is
given in a statement made today
by o. p. Hood. chief mechanical en-
gineer of the bureau.
There are several ways of man.
aging a furnace, as there are sew
eral ways of driving horse, says
Mr.. Wood. The general principle
is quite obvious, but that principle
can be applied in different ways.
In the process of combustion two
quantities must be supplied-coal
and air. The coal onespays for, the
air one gets for nothing, but the
quantity of air required in weight
ia from - to 20 times as much as
the quantity of coal required. If
one had to pay for air he would
pay Eeat deal more attention to
the supply of this necessary mater
ial, Mr. Hood says.
Given a bed of Goals that are red

portion as air is fed through the
fuel bed. The question of keeping
a fire over night, Engineer Hood
asserts, is one of having a bed of
fuel large enough so that at least
the center of it can keep red hot
without being chilled by the cold
sides of the furnace. or the cold
ash pit below. If absolutely no air
was fed through the fuel bed, in
time the fire would go out because
of loss of heat The problem, then,
is to feed just air enough through
the fuel bed to maintain tempera-
turc.
Air I'm Ashpit.
The ash pit of most furnaces
leaks enough air so that if there
was a considerable draft or sue
ton above the fuel bed produced
by the chimney, more air would
leak into the ash pit and up through
the fuel bed than enough to SIM
ply maintain the temperature, Mr..
Hood explains. Too much air fed
through the fire would burn up the
coal and the fire would not keep.
The problem, then, is to cut down
the flow of air through the fuel
bed. This can be done in numer-
Gus ways; one can put on a large

opening the check draft in the
chimney, or done by opening the
damper in the door, allow
ing the air to flow above the
fuel bed. In the latter case, how
ever, the air is drawn through the
boiler and helps to cool off the boil
er in addition to checking the flow
of air through the fuel bed.
