Hindcnburg and Ludendorff have not
changed their minds in regard to France

and have a measure of success.
The temper Of the German public mind
also has changed. Any demands in the
west made by Germany after drive
there, the success of which may seem
ever so improbable, yet remains possi-
bility, would be justified by the claim
that peace had been offered before the
offensive. rejected. and that the German
people were entitled to some compensa-
ton for vast expenditures in blood and
money made inevitable by the attitude
of America and the Allies.
This must not be construed into an ar

cept Hertling's willingness to discuss
peace on the basis of Mr.. wilson's four
fundamental principles. That is mat

ASH REMOVER IS
BEING INSTALLED
Valley Railways Company Is
Making Improvements
TO Better Service

In order to increase the efficiency
at the big electric plant of the VAL
ley railways plant at Lemoyne, a
skip hoist ash remover is being in
stalled at the plant and will be conf
pleted by April /. This is only one
OF the numerous improvem ents
which were planned for the plant.
Most of the others have been aband-
oned because of the war. A repre-
sentative of the X. II. Beaumont
Company, of Philadelphia, which is
installing the new machinery, said
day:
AT its power plant in Lemoyne
they were attempting to handle ashes
by blowing them through pipe
with steam which method not only
scattered ash dust all over the sur
rounding neiehborhood,. but was a
constant annoyance on account OF
wear and required more men and
power to operate than if they had
used the old-fashioned hand shovel
ing method. Therefore, it was their
patriotic duty to install some equip
ment less expensive in labor and ma
terial. This they have recently con-
.
Hoist. This consists simply of a steel
plate bucket on wheels pulled up
steel tracks by a rope attached to
an electric winding machine and
dumped into an ash bin set on col
umnS so that the company'S ash
cars can run under the bin and re-
ceive a load of ashes to be used as
ballast along their lines.
THE ashes will be taken from the
hoppers under the boilers in a little
ash car which dumps into the Skip
bucket. A push on the button starts
the bucket up and the operator goes
back for more ashes, while the buck
ct discharges into the bunker, re-
verses and comes to rest at the bot
ton ready for another load. The chief
advantages of this equipment are:
Nothing to wear out, little power
consumed to operate, and minimum
amount of labor required"
