BELIEVES BRITAIN IS OVERBURDENED Sir Thomas Mackenzie Dissat- isfied With Way Dominions' Raw Materjals Handled. London, Sept. 8.--Sir Thomas Mpckenzie, late High Commissioner f6r New Zealand, who is leaving London to represent his country at the Chambers of Commerce Congress in Toronto, expresses the opinion that the Impgrial Parliament is over- burdened and that there is lack of touch between the executive and the constituencies. He is also dissatis- fied with the way the dominions" raw liaterials and foodstuffs are handled here, men at the head of affairs not being commercial experts. Sir Tho- mas admits the British people's splendid character, tenacity and per- seyerance. Nothing could outstrip the old land if it were a little more adapt- able to necessary changes, he be- lieves. The London Times, discussing the position of the agents-general in con- nection with the foregoing inter- view, remarks that it is clear that so long as the Imperial system contin- ues a thing of vague undefined ties with ambiguous constitutional reia- tions al commercial relations which often have at least the appearance of being conflicting, so long will the personality of the men who fill what may be called liaison offices be ex- tremely important. The Times thinks that at least the condition of possess- ing independent means by holders of such positions might be removed by general agreement among all states of the Empire and salaries be suffi- cient for proper performance of such duties. SEEKING TO SOLVE THE FUEL PROBLEM Substitute, for Cost Chief Topic at Deir Gon+ vention at Chicago. Chicago, , Sept, 8.--More than 3,- 000 chemists from all parts of 'the country are in Chicago attending the sixteenth annual convention of the American Chemical Society. The fuel situation will be the chief topic of discussion. All are working on plans to. manufacture a substitute for coal. It is stated that "celloidal fuel" or liquid ceal will be the next fuel for home, factory and transportation. "There are extensive deposits of lignite in Hlinois mines", said J. W. Harrington of New York. "By a cer- tain process this coal, which is some- times like peat, and which has been considered refuse. may be combined with petroleum, The particles are suspended in the liquid by celloia chemistry, and it is burned like ofl. Its chief value lies in the fact that the petroleum is used after gasoline, kerosene, and other products are ex- oh from it. Both the refuse pet- toleum and the lignite are consider- ed worthless now, but combined form a valuable fuel." Death of J. D. Collie, Brockville Brockville, Sept. 8.--John D.
