No Smile of Triumph, Only
Hatred, on Reading of
Abdication

amsterdam, Nov. 27.-The armis-
tice conferences between the Ger
man delegates and Marshal Foch
and his associates early this month
were carried out In the most bust
nesslike manner possible and appar-
emily without notable incidents, ac-
cording to an account of the con-
ference given the Berlin Nossische
Zeitung by a member of the Ger
man party.
Drive Intentionally Prolonged
After the French met the Ger
man commissioners they were driven
for ten hours in automobiles to an
appointed rendezvous, 1T seems to
me- says the narrator, that the
drive was Intentionally prolonged
in order to carry us through the de-
vastated provinces and prepare us
for the hardest conditions which
hatred and revenge might demand.

heap of ruins, saying behold st.
Quentin""
We entered n train, with blinds
drawn, in the evening, and awoke
I'm the morning in the midst of the
Forest of Compiegne, surrounded by
soldiers.
There were two trains, one oc-
cupied by Marshal Foch and his
staff and the other 10y the Germans.
In these we lived, worked and nego-
tiated for three days. We had
everything in abundance. There was
nothing TO find fault with. The great
.enmity and hatred that apparently

the terms imposed.
Attitude of Allies Cold
The narrator remarks that the
French officers and Vice Admiral
Wemyess, British representatives,
maintained u cold attitude, never
tempered by Il friendly word.
Marshal Foch, whom we only
saw twice, at the beginning and at
the end of the conference, is a stern,
plain man. lie did not speak a single
word to us in the tone which for
merly distinguished the chivalrous
French nation.
ut is not true that Foch told us
there could not be any question of
negotiations, only the imposition of
conditions, and whatever coldness he
displayed was never ill-tempered or
rough.
Nothing to Negotiate
Really, there was nothing to
negotiate. We pointed out the tech
nical impossibility of some condi-
tions Finally we were
obliged to sign"
During the discussion the French
handed the Germans the Paris news

Emperor William.

Wilson Plans to Guide
Ship of State by Wire
From Vessel and Paris
BY Issocidfcd Press

Washington, Nov. 27.-No weight
is attached by President Wilson to
the argument of critics of his plans
for attending the peace conference
that upon crossing the sea he loses
the right to perform executive duties
and must allow them to devolve
upon the Vice President.
1t was said officially to-day that
the President will administer the
duties of his office as completely
aboard ship and from Paris as
though he We're in the United States.

difficulties and wireless and cable

CONTRACTTO
LET FOR BIG NEW
READING BRIDGE
Work on Doublc-Track Struc-
ture TO Begin Before
Spring

Contract for the erection of a two,
track concrete and steel bridge to
replace the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway Company's one track
steel structure over the Susquehanna
river in the lower end of Harrisburg
will be let within a short time. Con-
tractors representatives have been
in the city for some time going over
the ground and collecting data as to
costs, materials and problems of con-
struction.
The plans for the bridge have been
prepared. The bridge will closely re-
semble that of the Cumberland Val
ley Railroad Company at Mulberry
street, but will be considerably high
er. 1t will be of ornamental design
and will cost upward of u million
dollars, perhaps more. 1t will give
work to a large number of men for q
year or longer and will go a long way
toward relieving the situation here
next spring. which was unduly stim-
ulated last spring by the erection of
the big army depots in this vicinity.
For Skilled WOrkmcn
The new bridge, work on which
will be started as early as weather
and other conditions will permit,
Will provide employment for car
penters, concrete pourers and help
ers, steel construction men and ma
sons, to say nothing of other trades.
The whole building program for
the coming year in this vicinity is
looking up. The school board is pre-
pairing to go ahead with the compile
tion of its big junior high and high
school program, involving the eX-
penditure of something like three
quarters of million dollars or more,
and the prospects are that the Wal
nut street bridge over the river will
be rebuilt as soon as conditions re-
turn to something like normal. 1t is
at present inadequate and will be be-
yond repair in n few years. The plan
is to double track it for street car
travel and thus give the West Shore
seven and flfteen-minute service, in
stead of the fifteen-minute and half
hour schedules now of necessity
maintained.
Another improvement that is to
come in this vicinity with the i'm
provement of market conditions and
the stabilizing of industry will be
the double tracking of Walnut street
from the bridge to Second street and
INC puiluiub VI d DlB lTOlley uepOC
for the Valley railway lines.
Architects and builders report
also that already inquiries are being
made concerning projects that were
delayed by the outbreak of the war
and which will be gotten underway
the coming year. They say in general
the outlook is bright both for the
building business and for the en-
ployment of a large number of men
in Harrisburg and vicinity the com
ing year.

Supply of Coal on Hand Is So
Small Economy Must
Be Observed

"Up to this time, the tonnage OF
prepared sizes of anthracite coal re-
ceived in Harrisburg has been sufli-
cient to give every consumer a por-
ton of his needs" said Paul John
ston, acting fuel commissioner of
Dauphin county, this morning.
Harrisburg has not, however,. re-
ceived tonnage great enough to
render it unnecessary to economize
in the use of prepared sizes in every
way possible.
"There is but a small quantity OF
coal at persent in the coal yards,
Mr.. Johnston continued, and the
dealers are delivering practically as
soon as received all coal coming in.
