COAL PRICES UP
So CENTS A TON
For Fuel Mined Since Nov. !,
Some of Which Has Already
Arrived Here

Notice was issued this morning by
County and City Fuel Administrator
oliver w. Ramsay to the effect that
a general increase has taken place in
the price of coal in this city. The
prices are occasioned by increased
mining expense and apply to egg,
stove. chestnut and pea coal. The
prices are effective until otherwise
ordered.
The increase here Is Just ninety
five cents more than was formerly
charged, but is still several cents be-
low the price charged in New York
City and its boroughs. The new
prices have been authorized by the
federal fuel administration for New
Jersey and took effect on all coal
mined after Z A. NJ. November 1. This
coal is now reaching this city and the
new prices are being charged.
Under the new order OF prices no
difference Is made in the way the coal
is delivered: that is. the same price
is charged whether the coal is placed
on the sidewalk. shot into the cellar
or carried into the house. However,
coal taken from the yard by the pur-
chaser, at purchasers expense can be
obtained for forty cents per ton less
than the new prices.

Winter Falls Heavily on
American Forces In Siberia

~ = e"or'dfed Press
ARCHANGEL, Monday Nov. 25.-
Winter has begun in earnest over the
whole northern Russian front.
All the rivers are ice bound and the
Bolshevist gun boats which have long
menaced the American and allied
forces on the Dvina. have been forced
to withdraw to escape being frozen In.
The Bolsheviks. however, have mount
ed big guns along the front south of
the allied army.
Operations are limited to spasmodic
artillery exchanges. but the Bolshe-
visit forces are reported to be receiv-
ing heavy reinforcements. The freeze
up. while bringing relief on the
Dvina front. increases the danger on
others. as the once impossible swamps
are now frozen, making possible bush
wacking. flank attacks by the enemy
The correspond has just returned
from a trip along the front. where he
found a general denial of the opinion
that the Bolsheviki would not fight
Near Kadiff. q fortnight ago, a body
of Bolsheviki infantry made an ad-
vance against strong machine gun
fire. A Russian resident in talking
with American soldiers regarding this
attack said the Bolshevik officers
threatened their men that they would
be killed the next day II they failed
TO advance.
The cold is so intense In some sec
tions OF the front that the Americans
have their machine guns rolled in
blankets with them to prevent the
water cooling chambers of the guns
from freezing.

HUNS HOSTILE
TO BOLSHEv|K
Extremists Badly Beaten in
Elections to Soldiers Work
mems Council in Dresden
Bu asociated Press.

BERLIN, Monday, Nov. 26:-Re-
ports of tests of strength between the
Conservative element and "Bolshe-
vik" socialists in various places in
Germany continue to indicate that the
extremists are almost negligible.
The election to the soldiers and
workmen's council in Dresden on
Sunday showed that the extremists
polled only 1900 votes against 56,4O0
for the old socialists. Both groups of
independents won only three or four
seats in the council of fifty.
Fuller reports from Berlin show
that the movement in the coast city
already has changed into a more con-
servative channel.
A meeting of soldiers, workmen's
and peasant council, representing
Bremen, Hanover, Hamburg, Olden-
burg, Flaenburg. Osnabrueck, VIII
helmshaven and a number of smaller
places in the provinces of Hanover
and Schleswig -Holstein passed "a reso-
luton declaring that these councils
would stand behind the present gov
ernment and demand the convocation
of a national assembly. The resolu-
ton was adopted by a vote of eighty
one to twenty. There was also a
speech for the extremists at meet
ing representing the tentH army corps
at Hanover. where by vote OF 140 to
a resolution was passed against ef-
forts to establish a dictatorship and
demanding the summoning of con-
stitutent assembly
Soldiers from the front are now be-
ginning to arrive in Berlin and those
who have conversed with them ex-
pressed themselves optimistically as
to the result OF their arrival as re-
CARDS It's effect upon the preservation
of order. These men declare that the
great bulk of the soldiers reject Boil
shevism in it's phases.
1t may also perhaps be considered
on indications of the general public
first in the conversation of the SOL
diers that German and Prussian flags
are beginning to reappear all over
Berlin after having made way for the
red flag since November 10. Only in
one of the suburbs was any objection
raised TO the flying OF the national
flag. Certain elements there tore the
Prussian banners from the street cars.
Elsewhere the emblems were not dis
turbed.
