A, - we used 2,400 tons of coal last year and will probably use at least 2,500 tons this year, it is apparent that the increase m the cost of coal will cause a large increase in the cost of making gas. j Then, ;tob, stoklrs wages have advanced from $72.00 per month to $100.00 perpionth, an increase of 39 per cent Most other labor costs have advanced. accordingly. - j-. ;-;r;- The result of thesfe increased I costs will be to cause the gas plant to experience a loss -of at least $145 1.00 this year, as shown in Ga$; !

There was not a word of truth in It. Of course. Field Marshal Halg was not anxious to extend his line, nor was the war cabinet.

They held a front of 328 miles: we held 120 miles. But the Germans were massed much more densely against our line, and our lines were much more vulnerable.
