Anthracite Shipments Show
Increase in December

The shipments of anthracite in
December, 1917, as reported to the
anthracite bureau of information at
Philadelphia, amounted to 5,69S,945
tons. This is a remarkable showing
for December, when the difficulties
encountered as a result of the re-
cent unusually severe cold weather
are considered. The weather affect
ed seriously all of the varied work
ing conditions in and about all the
mines. and some had to suspend
operations entirely. Despite these
handicaps. the December, 1917. ship
ments were 116, 6,19S tons more than
in December of the preceding year,
and they helped to round out u re-
markable record for this banner
year in the history of the industry.
The total shipments for the cal
endar year of 1917 amounted to IT,
1895 tons, an increase of 1885,
941 tons, or more than fourteen per
cent. over the amount sent to mar
ket in 1916. The 1917 figures ex-
ceed those of the previous record
year (1911) by 7,179,006 tons.

War Brings New Demand
on Telephone Service

With the telephone traffic of this
city rising from approximately $4,000
calls a day to from $1,000 to 10000
calls, and with the high peak" load
of $4,000 calls day, recently reached,
it has been learned that the capital
of the country-Washing ID. c.
as well as the capital of Pennsylvania.
Is having its problems in the increase
in telephone traffic, according to re-
ports of the Bell Telephone Company.
on the first of this year, Washing
ton had a telephone plant equipped to
not only care for the needs of a city
of 800, 900 people, but to provide for
taking care CT the telephone traffic
for a year in advance as well as the
80 per cent. increase during the in
auguration period. 1t takes many
months to obtain and install addi-
tional equipment to switchboardS and
about twelve months to provide eX
pert operators. Suddenly, almost over
night, n condition arose that in nor
NAL times would require several years
to cope with and the telephone com
pany faced a task such is is seldom
met. The telephone traffic increased

cent. above normal. while the long
distance increase is 219 per cent.

Responding to the call of the Bell

U.S.COURT SCORES
MAN CONFESSING
TO MAIL THEFT
Sunbury Mail Clerk Sentenced
For Crime Similar TO
His Brothers

81 have no sympathy for you, but
do have sympathy for your wife
and five children, and for your aged
father whom 1 know very well. In
my opinion, your unfaithfulness to
your family and to your father, is
greater than the crime against your
government. Your disloyalty to your
church, in the choir of which you
sang for a number of years, is seri-
ous." These were the words which
Judge Charles B. Wilmer used in the
United States District Court this
morning, sentencing Otto C. Beyers,
Sunbury letter carrier to a year
in the Dauphin county Jail, on the
charge of stealing letters. Beyers
pleaded guilty and was sentenced
for the same offense which his
brother committed in 1910.
Other criminal cases brought be-
fore the court in the morning session
which opened at 10.15. included the
cases of A NJ. Biddle and S. II.
Crawford, Hanover, charged with
selling soldiers clothes. Biddle was
given a sentence of $10O fine and
nine months in the Adams county
Jail, and Crawford, S25 fine and
three months in the Adams county
Jail.
In the morning session, on mo-
ton of Robert Rosenberg, Wolfe
Rosenberg, Harrisburg, was admit
tea to practice before the bar of the
court. The jury in the case of John
r. Bailey VS.. the Mississippi Home
Telephone Company, was called, and
witnesses were instructed to be pres
ent at the opening of court at
o'clock this afternoon, when tho
case will be heard. The case is an
assumpsit proceeding.

ITALIANS TAKE
MANY PRISONERS
NBREN'TADRIVE
Action Was Directed Chiefly
Against Monte Asolone
Observation Posts
By Associated Press

Italian Army Headquarters in
Northern Italy. Tuesday, Jan. 15.-
The action east of the Brenta river
yesterday in which the Italians in
nlcted heavy losses on the enemy
and captured several hundred pris-
oners and a large quantity of war
material, began late in the after
noon and was carried out by in
fantry. 1t was directed chiefly
against Monte Asolone, where the
enemy boldly has set up observation
posts overlooking the San Lorenzo
valley and the Venetian plain lead
ing down to Bassano.
From these heights the enemy,
backed by his position on Monte
Pertica and Caprivale, was a con-
tlnual menace, his guns having a
range of considerable distance
down the valley and over the plain.
the plain.
Fog Screened Movements
The cannonade began toward
noon with the Italian batteries be-
ing seconded ably by French ar
tillery on their height A heavy fog
screened the movements as the in
fantry was ordered to advance. 1t
moved straight up the slope of
Monte Asolone, through snow, mud
ana SluSh. The enemy artillery fire
grew more intense as the advance
proceeded.
There was no halt until the po-
sltlons on Monte Asolone were
reached and the enemy advanced
posts, where observations had been
conducted, were swept away. Along
the whole line the Italians gained
foothold. Under the concentrated
fire of the enemy lines they later
were withdrawn slightly after laying
waste the enemy works. Austrian
forces attempted a number of coun-
ter movements without success. The
struggle around Monte Asolone con-
unues but one of the main objects
already has been accomplished, that
or dislodging the enemy from his
works, to say nothing of the pris-
oners and material taken.
About the same time an incursion
into the enemy trenches was made
further east around Monte Solarolo,
where more prisoners and material
were captured.
The third bloody fight occurred
on the Lower Piave where the Ital-
ians enlarged their position between
the Piave and Sile rivers, and beat
back a counterattack with heavy
losses,
