GENERAL HAIG MAY . .
LORE OFFICIAL POSITION
• _
LONDON, Not. 30.—Tbe speech by
premier Lloyd George In Peris yes
terday has stirred tbe local press. His
allusions to the allies' "incredible
blunder” are printed under sensation
al headlines. Comment is mixed up
with criticism of the new allied war
council, as announced here by Chan
cellor Bonar Law. Several newspapers
indorse the speech in the main or
are non-committal. Others criticise
adversely the new military plan and
accuse the premier of wishing to take
over the strategic direction of the a!
lied campalgh. Rumors in the news
papers df the impending retirement
of Field Marshal Haig and Gen. Rob
ertson, chief of the general staff,
caused some commentators to insin
uate .that the reports were set afloat
intentionally by semi-official hints.
The Morning Post connects the new
plan with the rumors and says both
nation and army are alarmed over it.
It adds:
"A political council advised by a
military committee is to direct the
strategy of the allied armies. The
blood of the nation will run cold at
the idea. No mqrp fatal and no more
disastrous arrangement can be con
ceived. Premier Lioyd George appears
to tbii)k that this complicated pro
ject will achieve strategic unity. It
seems to us it will achjeve strategic
paralysis."
The paily News, while thinking
that the new war council opgbt to
be an important gain, says th*t “the
disquiet wljlch has been expressed is
due to tbe well-grounded suspicion
which has prevailed long, that there
has been trouble between Premier
Lleyd George and the heads^ of the
army.”
Tbe Daily Mail says the premier
will make a statement explaining the
new council in the bonse of commons
this week.

CUT AT NORTH YAKIMA
NORTH YAKIMA, Nov. JO.—That
four cables of the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company’s system here

axe and a knife. About fifty persons,
including the police station and a
number of business houses are with
out service. A special wire is being in
stalled for the police station, but the
company has no tnen available here
to repair the cables. Mahager Jolly
of the company' says he does not be

Certainly the day of resurrection
has come, for ships. Hulks long since
sunk, all btft forgotten, rise in their
very bones, take on renewed bodies
and with the rhythmic heart-beat of
new engines feel the blood coursing In
their veins once more, observes the
Boston Transcript. Almndoued coal
barges, hulls of whale ships, of little
cargo carriers that have lain at dis
mantled wharves for half a century,
struggle from their graves In the ooze,
feel again the measured clink of caulk
ing Iron, lift proud topmasts and shout
with Joy from the very diaphragm* of
Ihelr swelling sails as the forefoot
thrills to the blare nt blue wnter.
Wrecks of the urn-lent slde-wheelers
rise as well anti with a vigor of en
gine life such ns did not exist In their
day. go down to the sea.
The sea shore Is prolteti for these
and the very lakes send tlielr i|notu.
At Ashland, WIs., for Instance, on Luke
Superior, the side-wheeler Emerald,
sunk at the slip 24 years ago. is oa
her way up. 'Hie ore-carrier Herons,
which broke In two ou a shoal six
years since, is to be raised and put to
gether again. And so the reports come
front slip and shoal the world over.
If the war, with all its menace and
Its heurtache. can give up once more a
mighty merchant marine and revive
the proud traditions of American sea
manship, as It hid* fair to, It will have
dune one great thing for the country.
COAL 6AS FOR AUTOMOBILES
Fuel Copts Only Twelva Cents for
Charge Equal In Power to Ono
Gallon of Qaaollno.
Arthur H. Jackson, an Engllab me
chanical engineer, who. arrived In New
York from London on his way to Hong
Kong, aald that the high price of gaso
line In England, where It sells at $1.10
a gallon, has caused motor power ex
pert* to experiment with compressed
coal gas for motor trucks and automo
biles. The point In Its favor Is that
the gas fuel costs only 12 cents for a
charge equal In power to a gallon or
gasoline.
“The ministry of munitions,” Mr.
Juckson said, "favors the coal gas.
fuel, as Its manufacture increases the
output of by-products needed for ex
plosives. The Glasgow corporation
has hen advised by a special commis
sion that coal gas Is practicable for
commercial motor Vehicles. Any eu
.glne can be Htted fur Its use In a few |
hours without interfering with the use
of guxoUue, should, any change be de
sired. Iu closed curs and motor trucks
tjie gas Is carried In containers on the
roofs, and In open cars It may be car
ried on canopies running the length
of the body. Containers now in use
hold only J.'si feet of gas. which Ik
about equul lo a gallon of gasoline,
and that Is one of the objectious to.
