TO successfully finance the war
it is necessary that owners of
Liberty bonds hold their bonds
if possible Where for any good
reason it is necessary for them to
turn their bonds into cash they
should seek the advice Of their
bankers.
Liberty loan bonds are very de-
sirable investments, and crafty
individuals are using various
means TO secure them from OWN
ers not familiar with stock val
ues and like matters. One meth
od is TO offer TO exchange for
Liberty bonds stocks or bonds of
doubtful organizations represent
ed as returning a much higher in
come than the bonds
There are various other meth
ods used and likely to be used,
some Of the gold-brick variety
and others less crude and proba-
bly, within the limits Of the law.
All offers for Liberty bonds cx-
cept for money and at market
value should be scrutinized care

New York, Jan. S.-The stock
markets initial response to the pro-
posals in the Presidents address TO

dress was being printed on the news

points in the address became known

interest began

specialties reacted / to points
from highest quotations of the
morning. Selling increased on the
decline. Partial rallies ensued but
at 1880 o'clock only a small part
of the setback was recovered.

clined to-day as a result of consid-
cradle selling based on opinions that
President Wilson's address to Con-
Sress indicated likelihood of prog
resS toward peace. y majority of
dealers however refrained from sell
ing and construed the message as in
dicating chiefly that no peace was
in sight until German military lead
ers became convinced that their de-
mands could not be accepted.
The chief selling was in oats,

Two Hundred Children
March From a Burning
School to Strains of Music

To the strains of Victrola music,
200 pupils of the Major Bent school
house in Steelton marched through
smoke-filled halls to the street while
a fire was burning in the basement
of the building.
The fire was discovered q few
minutes before recess time The
teachers did not sound the fire alarm
but announced in the rooms that it
was recess. The children lined UP
in their usual positions and march ed
out of the building under the pre-
tense that it was the fifteen-minute
period for recreation.
Some of the older students real
lied that something out of the ordin-
airy was taking place but did not
whisper a word to their younger
schoolmates. Ages of the children
attending sessions in this building
range from six to twelve years and
it was feared that if an alarm was
sounded they would become panic
stricken.
The fire which, according to Chief
Malehorn was in the furnace ffues,
was discovered by the janitor He
told the principal of the school with
out making it generally known, who
handled the situation in a very dip
lomatic manner.
The Hygienic Fire Company was
the first to answer the telephone call
for aid. Little damage resulted.

Reading Coal Shipments

Reading, Pa, Jan. S.-The Read

have not yet reached normal. For
the past "a hours it sent but 1900
cars to market in place of nearly
1900 normally. Coal is given the
right of way but the congestion of
freight adds to the difficulties of the
officials. Reports received say that
the small towns and villages are bet
ter fixed for fuel than the cities, and
for that reason such desperate efforts
are made to supply the larger mu-
inequalities.
The movement of freight on the
Reading system is exceedingly slow

their undertaking was singularly
fortunate. This vitality important
strategic point, which, had it re-
mained in the hands of the enemy,
would have afforded him great ad-
vantage, was taken by the French
as the climax of a dashing assault
against very strong and difficult
positions. Nearly 1,400 Austrian
prisoners were captured.
The success of the French turned
the scale. The Italians, encouraged
by this victory, at once set about
driving the enemy across the Piave.
The Austrians sought to effect a
crossing of the river in the vicinity
of lntestadura, about ten miles from
the Adriatic. Large contingents were
gathered together for this operation.
Owing to the vigorous nature of
Italian resistance. complete failure
attended the undertaking and the
enemy was driven back with serious
loss. The Austrian detachments
which have held the bridgeheal at
Ienson on the right bank of the
Piave for the past five weeks were
also driven out by an impetuous at
tack and forced to retire across the
remain on the west bank OF the
PiaVe.
Britons InfliCt Damage
'"The British lead in raiding
enemy positions across the river.
Their sallies achieved excellent re-
suits as they were able to inflict
much damage on hostile out works
and took a number. of prisoners.
Heavy snow has at last fallen in the
Alpine regions, which greatly ham,
pers the Austro- Germans. 1t will be
tremendous task for them to keep
their lines of communication open
in the mountain area. Transport
problems are at all times peculiarly
difficult in this theater and under
the added burde nof unfavorable
winter weather, the practical ad-
vantage which the enemy has
hitherto enjoyed by holding the
higher ground will be neutrailZed
by his transportation difficulties.
