Russians Resume Their
Negotiations For Peace

Petrograd, Tuesday, Dec. H.
Representatives of all the Russian
fronts started tonight for Brest-
Litovsk to resume the armistice ne
gotiations with the Germans. Lieu
tenant Colonel FokNen, the general
staff member of the armistice COM
mittee. informed the Associated
Press that the delegation would con-
sist of thirteen members. including
General Skaloeok, one representa-
tive each from the northern. west
ern, southwestern, Rumanian- Rus
sian and Rumanian armies, NJ. Alt
fiater, the naval representative and
five political delegates.
Lieutenant Colonel Fokkeh be-
lieves the Germans will make consid-
erable concessions and will even con-
sent to leave Moon Sound. The Ger
mans have eliminated the demand
that Russian troops leave Macedonia
and France because the Russian del
egates said these armies were not
under their control. The Russian
delegate at Brest- Litovsk telegraph
ed to Petrograd to-day that the Ger
man command there had demanded
the immediate cessation of the dis
tribution of Russian literature to
Germans and Austrians. He said
that eight million leaflets already
had been distributed among the Teu-
ton forces.

Surrender of Jerusalem
Surprise to the British

London, Dec. 12.-The surrender of
Jerusalem came as a complete sur
prise to the British public. A week
or ten days ago it was repeatedly
reported that the city had been taken
but these rumors were set at rest by
an authoritative statement that an
other pitched battle would be neces-
sary before the British could hope to
enter Jerusalem. In fact, the public
had almost given up it's much cher
ished hope that the task General AL
lenby had set his troops would be
accomplished by Christmas Day..
The British general however,
proved himself n supermaster of
strategy, and while the Turks and
their German officers were expecting
a stroke from the northwest, Allenby
made a sudden advance from the
south and west and succeeded in
throwing a Gordon about Jerusalem
and it's garrison.
The city might have been taken
some time ago, but the British were
determined that there should be no
bombardment of the holy places, and
that even if time were lost the Turks
must be forced out of their positions
without any big gun actions which
might cause damage.
When the news of the capture of
the Holy City was received the bell
of the Roman Catholic Westminster
Cathedral was rung for the first time
in three years and a solemn TIE Deum
was sung.

Usual Supply Of Light
and Heat Expected by
Evening, Says Kaltwasser

BY tonight Harrisburg will have
its usual supply of heat and light was
the prediction to-day of Mr.. Kaltwas-
ser who explained that the Harris
burg Light and Power Company had
finally received from the manufac-
turers the duplicate pump which is
essential in ash handling. At the
same time the company has turned
to softScoal for fuel instead of the
river coal and this change guarantees
higher pressure of steam. Soft
coal, however, can not be used per
manently without raise in rates, it
was pointed out.
Another deficiency which has been
partly filled is the receipt of an au-
tomato stoker which had been order
ed months ago and the absence of
which caused the lack of heat. This
stoker was put going to-day and a
fourth will be installed in a few
days. Mr.. Kaltwasser said that the
firm would have raat the recent
emergency even though disappointed
by the slowness in manufacturers if
the York Haven plant had not frozen
up. 1t was expected that Harrisburg
could get a current there but that
plant, too, was partly out of COM
mission. Harrisburg should have
heat and light aplenty tonight" was
the assurance from the head of the
Light and Power Company, "and I do
not think we will have any trouble
the rest of the winter"

No Cause For Alarm Over
Hard Coal, Says Hickok

That there is no immediate danger
of a fuel famine in Harrisburg was
the opinion expressed to-day by Ross
a. Hickok, fuel administrator for
Dauphin county. This view, however,
was not shared by coal dealers, who
declared there is a very serious
shortage.
Mr.. Hickok, while admitting that
the coal situation is very trying, de-
clares there is no immediate danger
of hardship. He says that if the peo-
pie play fair and don't try to hoard
there is no reason why the coal
should not hold out well until con-
ditions improve. Mr.. Hickok said that
if an accurate idea of the amount of
coal in the city were ascertained,
enough coal would be found to sup
ply the needs of the people. 1t is his
opinion that when Gust toners cannot
get the size they want at their deal
ers' they rush around to other deal
ers. who will not supply any but
their regular customers, thus causing
alarm and a fear of an extreme
shortage.

UNION
WANTS TRANSFER
OF AUTHORITY
Would Have Mayor Supervise
City Department Along
With Police
COMPANIES HAVE DEFICIT
Protest Against Auditing of
Accounts Contributed
by Members

The Firemens Union met last
evening in the Hope Enginehouse,
and befo"e adjournment expressed
the desire that the entire department
be placed under the mayor, in con-
nection with the police department,
or under the superintendent of pub
lie safety
There were criticisms on account
of the Sunday afternoon fire, the
assertion being made that if the first
f1remen on the ground had had
smoke masks. and the appliance
asked for more than a year ago
whereby everything in a room filled
with smoke can be plainly seem
and which masks and appliance
were promised-the loss probably
would have been $4,000 less than it

The firemen, who have funds
made up by dues, fines and volun-
tary contributions of members and
friends, and not in any way coming
from city funds, are opposed to hav-
ing such funds audited or examined
into by public officials. They look
upon such money as their private
property.
An examination of books shows
that every fire company in the city,
with the exception of two, has a
deficit, Notwithstanding the most
rigid economy.
Our fire department has been in
vited to take part as an entire divi-
sion in the great state firemen's
parade to be held in Lancaster next

the Delaware county firemen, and
also by the fire department of York
and others to follow.

R. R. War Board Pledges
President Full Cooperation
BY ASSocinted Prcss

Washington, Dec. 12. = That full
est measure of cooperation in any
decision President Wilson may make
to solve the railroad problem, even
though he should choose government
operation, was pledged to the Presi-
dent to-day by the railroads war
board, composed of representative
committee of railroad executives.
The railroad executives told the
President they did not ask a billion
dollar loan or a suspension of the
antitrust and anti-pooling laws.
They told him they believed the rail
roads themselves would be able to
cope with the traffic congestion if
the government would name a fed
eral traffic director to coordinate all
government shipments and have the
government approve railroad credit
for raising new capital
Thousands of priority orders. COM
ing from as many sources, the rail-
road men declared, are the principal
cause of congestion. Coordination
of government, shipments by a fed
eral traffic manager they said, would
meet the situation.

The officials in London assert the
plans embrace the solidification of
the loyal fighting forces, the COM
plete elimination of the Bolsheviki
organizations in the cities and
towns of Southern Russa, the re-
establishment of order, the reorgani-
ztion of supplies and the establish
ment of new allied fighting front
to protect the rich Russian granaries
and coal and mineral fields from the
Germans.
They added that a form of guer-
rilla warfare may possibly precede
the re-establishment of a solid fight
ing front, owing to the present dis
organized state of the Army on ac-
count of the Bolsheviki peace nego-
tiations.
The question. of allied support,
which the officials declare is neces-
sary if Kaledines and the other
forces loyal to Russia and the allies
are to be successful, is one on which
much stress must be laid, especially
the question of the eventual send
ing of an American eXpeditionary
Army to cooperate with the forces
out that this would not be in the
nature of American interference in
Russian internal affairs, but a case
similar to American and British
troops helping France.
Hard as it may be for Russia to
carry on in the face of the tre-
mendous sacrifices made at the be-
ginning of the war and the paralysis
of the Army under the Bolsheviki
and German propaganda, the officials
assert that Russia will carry on till
the time a general peace is agreed
upon in common with the allies.
The fact that the Germans them
selves cannot make UP their minds
regarding the Bolsheviki peace meet
ing the approval of the Russia peo-
pie is shown, it is said, by the
report of a meeting held at German
eastern headquarters early this
month. News of this meeting was
received in Russian sources here
through what is said to be trust
worthy neutral source and was tc the
effect that the civil and military au-
thorities differed on the question.
The civil authorities were willing to
accent the Bolsheviki offer but the
military leaders pointed out that to
make such a peace would only COM
promise Germany. This opinion also
is said to be held in Austria.
