Fetherston Could Use $4,000
Men and Has Less Than
10000 Available.

Not more than 10000 men were
available to-day for the work Of
clearing snow from the streets. The
first storm OF the season has brought
a realization that the snow removal
problem this winter may be the most
serious that has confronted New
York in years. All over the streets
OF Manhattan snow Is piled high.
According TO Official records. tweivs
inches of snow fell In New York City
between s A. NJ. and Z Z. NJ. yester-
day. This was one-tbird the entire
fall OF the winter Of 1915.
In the absence OF any rain TO help.

several thousand OF them enlisted.
Because OF the pecullarity Of the

SNOW fighting Is best done when the
labor market is glutted with unem-
ployment.
II really don't know what happened
to the college men. They certainly
did not enlist In bodies. and have no
knowledge that they are among our

BRITAIN WILL INSIST

SAYS CABINET MINISTER

LONDON, Dec. Is.-The speech
delivered last night by Arthur Hen

more specific In regard to tho peace
proposal OF the Central Powers than
any other uttcrancc from reepon =
sible Government source. Mr.. Hem
derson Is ono or the Ave members Of
tho War Cabinet which has just been
formed and has supreme authority In
regard to the general conduct Of the
war. Ho defined tho reparation
which Andrew Bonar Law declared
WAS stilI the policy OF the Govern
ment as being PREPARATION for all
that Belgium. France. Serbia and
Poland have suffered"
Mr.. Hondorson's statement that
Great Britain entered the war "in
defense of small nationalities" was
taken as an indication that the de-
Tense OF small nationalities would be
one Of tho essentials OF security for
tho future TO which Mr.. Bonar Law
referred IN general.
one OF the foremost diplomatic au-
thorities Of England and America IA ID
to-day that tho trend Of public and
governmental sentiment thus lar had
shown that three courses were open !:
Flrst-CatsporioaI refusal TO
negotiate, on lines similar to tho
position assumed by the Russian
Ouma.
esesnd--Rsfusal TO nsaotists
and . statement Of tho essential
aims and purposes Of the aiiiss in
order TO place their position
rightly before the world.
Third--A request for Germany's
tsrms, which would be expected
TO disclose to the allies that those
terms ware impossible Of accept.
Ance.
II was the view OF this authority
that British sentiment had not yot
crytallized as to which one OF these
three courses should be adopted.
