ICEPLENTY BUT
PRICE IS HIGH
Chances Favor Increased Cost
to Consumer Because Coal
Has Moved Upward

when the supply of natural ice fails
and we are again forced to use man
ufactured ice the price, may be in
creased" said an official o fthe United
Ice and Coal Company to-day.
The company at this time does not
have it's ice houses filled to thei ca
pacity, but If the present weather con-
ditions continue it is expected that
the houses will be filled. The plants at
Mt. Gretna are 400 tons short, Coal
brook $500 tons short, Elmdale 1000
tons. The combined capacity of the
plants is $4,000 tons.
The price of ice now is 35 cents per
hundred weight If sold a single hun
dred at time. Larger amounts are
sold on a graduated scale to 20 cents,
the lowest price.
The increased cost of coal used in
the manufacture of artificial ice will
doubtless make the price higher than
ever. it is claimed by the company Of
ficials. No hope of a decrease is prom
ised as the policy of the company has
been to maintain the same scale dur
ng the entire year whenever possible.

GERARD AND STAFF
ARRIVE IN PARIS
Former Ambassador Has Long
Talk With U. S. Repre-
sentative in France

Paris, Feb. 15.-James w. Gerard
former American ambassador at Ber-
lin; Mrs. Gerard and their party. 42
persons in all, arrived in Paris this
morning from Berne, Switzerland. They
were met at the station by the Amer
lean ambassador, william G. Sharp. and
the embassy staff.
A battalio nof French photographers
took snapshots of Mr.. and Mrs. Gerard
as they alighted from the train. The
journey from Berne was without incl
dent. The French government placed
two cars at the disposition of the par
ty, attaching them to a regular train.

ed Bernes railroad station, Ambassador
Gerard, his staff and about fifty other
Americans, departed tonight for Paris
by way of Pontarlier. The departure
was made the occasion of a demonstra-
tion such as Berne has not seen in a
long time. The women members of the
party were laden with beautiful cut
flowers, presented by Berne friends, and
which were doubly appreciated because
they had been so rare in Germany.
Mr. and Mrs. Gerard arrived at the
station about ten minutes before the
time scheduled for the departure of
their train and were GREETED by United
States Minister Stovall, Secretary Camp
bell and their wives. Among the big
crowd of prominent persons who filled
the platform were members of the
entente legations in Berne, English and
French officers interned in Switzerland
and as many Berne citizens as could
find standing room.
The amba ssador and his staff occu-
pied a first clas car on the train and
his unofficial travelling companions were
accommodated in another first class car
and one second class coach. The ar
rangements wen made by the Swiss
government which did everything in its
power to cooperate with the American
legation in providing for the comfort
OF the party. 1t was arranged that the
travellers should transfer to sleepers at
Pontarier for the remainder of the trip
to Paris.
Ambassador Gerard spent an unevent-
full day which was chiefly devoted to
preparations for his journey. He warn
ed one of the Americans who came to
bid him farewell to be careful about
spies who might try to attach them
selves to American groups following
him out of Germany. Mr.. Gerard spe-

INLAND FREIGHT
CONGESTION IS
GETTING SERIOUS
Due to Policy of Refusing Ex'
port Shipments Unless Cargo
Room Is Secured.
PLAN NEW EMBARGoEs
Railroads to Relieve Terminal
Points by Imposing
Restrictions

New York, Feb. 15.-The imme-
diate cause of the serious freight con-
gestion reported by many interior
cities, railroad men declared to-day, is
their policy of refusing shipments to
New York of freight for export unless
the shipper can prove that he has
cargo room engaged so that his goods
can be loaded on a boat Immediately
after it's delivery here. The rigorous
application of this rule has transferred
the accumulation of freight that other
wise would be piling up here to the
warehouses at manufacturing and pro-
ducing centers in the West and South.
For the purpose of relieving ter
minal points the railroads in this terri
tory are imposing new embargoes. Be-
ginning to-day the Lackawanna will
refuse freight for points west of Buf-
falo in order to clear it's yards there
and allow eastern shipments to come
through. The Pennsylvania has ap-
piled a temporary embargo on ship
ments for delivery by truck in this city
on all except perishable freight, food
lstuffs, government supplies and news
print paper. The New Haven has in
effect embargo against shipments in
less than carload lots for delivery in
New Haven or for transfer at New
Haven, where the congestion on that
line is the most severe. At the offices
of the New York Central it was said
that measures would be announced
soon along similar lines.
The situation, it is expected, will be
considered by the executive commit
tee of the American Railway Associa-
tion which meets here tomorrow.
Meanwhile the associations car
service commission of which Fairfax
Harrison, president of the Southern
railway, is chairman, is cooperating
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, it was stated here to-day, is
endeavoring to work out a plan to re-
lieve the situation.
If the embargoes are continued, one
result, 1T is predicted. will be the
dumping of thousands of tons of food
stuffs into domestic markets in order
to prevent the food from perishing.
Railroads are said to be suffering
heavily financially and 1t is pointed
out that only by unloading supplies
at the cities where loaded cars stand
idle, instead of holding for exporta-
ton can the situation be relieved so
that some of the embargoes may be
lifted

Guarding the Bridges
Burlington News

Guarding bridges with first class
fighting men has seemed rather
ridiculous to all of US. These men
should be with their regiments,
perfecting themselves in drill, and i'm
parting their knowledge to the recruits.
Governor Graham aims to abolish this
system, whereby we have to waste such
good material, supplying regiment of
men exempt from fighting under the
universal military training law. Sensible
persons will applaud this action and
the response should be good, In Bur
lngton an organization has been drill
ing for some time. The personnel for
one reason or another, is largely
exempt from the operation of the con-
scription act. Many of the men are
qualified for commissions in the new
regiment, and might be used as drill
masters. The Burlington men have a
good opportunity to take up the Cover
nor's proposition and to start the move
ment off with bang.

Here is the world famed fighting
song of the American marines, who are
going to France to fight
From the hall of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country's battles
On the land as on the sea.
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean,
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
From the Pest Hole of Cavite
To the ditch at Panama,
You will find them very needy
OF Marines that's what we are;
We're the watchdogs of pile of coal
Or we dig a magazine,
Though he lends hand at every Job
Who would not be Marine?
Our flag unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun,
We have fought in every cline or place
Where we could take gun;
In the snow of far off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find US always on the job
The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve,
Inmany strife we have fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever looks on Heavens scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
by
The United States Marines.
