CHICAGO FEARS
COAL FAMINE IF
COLD CONTINUES
Great Drifts Of Snow Blanket
City; Trains Unable to
Bring in Supply Of
Milk.

Chicago, Jan. S.-scarcelY a dent
has been made in the great atcumula-
ton of snow deposited in this city by
the blizzard. of Sunday, The life Of
the city, literally from the cradle to
the, grave, has been affected, for ba-
'bies have felt the milk shortage and
funerals have been postponed because
OF inability to reach the outlying Gem
eteries. u-
The county fuel administration this
afternoon issued All appeal in which,
referring to the snow. blockade. it
said; 60 2>rN> -. "a ~, H..
=" Nothing but the united effort of
the entire man power of the city can
relieve the situation enough to avert
the worst fuel famine in years."
Mayor Thompson called a meeting
of business men. Only 10 per cent OF
coal ordered by honseholders was be-
ing moved and hundreds of coal wag-
ons were reported stuck in the drifts.
The coal administrator said that water
was freezing IN, pipes everywhere tor
lack of heat. -~<
Trains Stalled.
Milk trains which were stalled yes
terday morning dragged their snow
encrusted lengths in during the night
and others came in at odd hours to-
day, but deliveries in the residential
districts were greatly curtailed. The
great drifts of yesterday were higher
if anything, because of the deposits
shoveled onto, them from sidewalks
and the lack Of wagons to remove
them.
1t is a question if the efforts of
thousands of hohseholdtrs ITO clear
the walks has not added to the con-
gestion OF the roads for the benefit of
pedestrians. 1t was not uncommon
yesterday and today to see automo-
biNs and taxicabs running along the
cleared sidewalks, while the surprised
proletariat jumped to safety in the
snow banks. The walks were not
exactly safe for democracy, Chief of
Police Schuettler said, but he added
that in the emergency he would take
no action.

companled the oeleSation'
NEITHER BROKE OFF.
Official confirmation Of this report
is lacking, but probability is lent to
it by the fact that neither Russia nor
the central powers has declared off,
cially that the peace negotiations have
been broken off definitely.
Germany suspended the negotia-
tons temporarily late last week be-
cause. it could not meet the Russian
request that the conference be. trans
ferred to Stockholm.
The political crisis in, Germany
brought about over the annexation
policy of the government is most seri-
Gus, according to reports from neutral
capitals. It is reported that General
Won Ludendorff, as leader of the mil
itarist group, threatened the resigna-
ton of himself and Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg should the government
continue the support of Won kuehl-
mann's peace~plans.
Declare for Democracy
The German social democrats have
adopted a resolution again declaring
that the honest recognition of the
democratic principle OF the right Of
self determination in occupied terri
tories only can bring lasting peace.
In London it is felt that the central
powers will be compelled to make
full answer to Premier Lloyd Georges
statement of war aims, which apparr
entity has brought about better feeling
in Great Britain President Wilson
and Premier Glenn sncsau have CON
graduated the British leader on his
statement. German newspapers In
their comment express disbelief in
the sincerity of the British premier's
words. - .> .-. -.

Military Legacies And Some of the Traditions
 Surrounding the Great Personages of
 History Who Are Responsible For Them

simple act, has been preserved in it's beautiful friendly spirit even to the pres- ent time.
 In democratic America, people indulge m the act of hand-shaking more perhaps than is necessary; with the smallest pos slble excuse, people shake hands with each other many times during a day. ana by the way, this brings up a much mooted question as to what men should oo With their gloves when shaking hands With ladies. whether to remove them. or wear them; so many men don't seem to know just what the proper thing is: one lhlng IS very obvious, and that is, they know that the worst possible form is to say: Pardon my gloves" Either it IS correct to have the glove on, in which case no apology is needed, or it is bad form to wear them.
 At a ball or reception, when a man wears his gloves, they are as much part of his attire as his necktie or his shirt studs, and certainly he wouldn't think of removing his necktie or his studs The only persons that he is re- duired to shake hands with on such oc- casions are his host and hostess, the rest of the company he Is not expected to shake hands with, and yet nearly every body shakes hands with everybody else, even though they may have met 'steen times the very same day.
 The tradition which has come down in military circles of shaking hands calls for the clasp of the uncovered hand: it is survival of the feeling of ancient fighting men-an instinctive impulse to prove the act one of genuine cordiality, by concealing nothing-the open hand boldly exposed to view-for even to this day, men refuse to shake hands with other men whom they do not regard as friends.
