Wasting Coal.

After reading the mayors notice
to coal dealers that their license
might be revoked if the drivers of
their delivery wagons did not find
some way to keep the coal from fall
ing off their wagons on the streets
where it must be cleaned up by the
street sweepers, one would conclude
that coal was very plentiful and that
the high cost of living had not yet
hit Butler.

cial showing Of the railway admiAis-
tf1tion. He cited that in Deeenheg.
E1ofA there were 10000 more sesn-
ployees Oh the railroads than ID De-
cemhet, 1917, and they were handling
less freight and gross tonnage than
the smaller Number Of employees in
1917 did. This one item Of decreased
production and efficiency put an ex-

same time the wages Of all railroad
employees had been increased. =
One Of the biggest figures in

in 4 private conversation, he told
friends Of chart analysis he had
made of the output Of the company
of which he is head. According to
his statement, tie output per en-
ployee had decreased from IS to 50
per cent, the average being nearly 20
per cent. At the same time wages
had gone up.
He gave as his remedy this simple
prescription:
It is time for the people to 60 back
to work-on fair hours-but to work.
He said that the whole world shAd
experienced a letdown since the

San Francisco, Aug. 22.-Canners
say canned fruit prices this year are
to be 40 per cent higher than last

the California Packing corporation.
Peaches are to go up 10 cents a

California prune growers have the
largest crop in the history of Cali
fornia. This year they will receive
1886 cents a pound as against last

money borrowed from the United
States, which is given as an excuse
for the high prices to the California
consumers.

TOXIC WANTED SPOILS
Feared Chinese Prestige Might
Prevent Keeping Privileges
Wrested From Germany

Paris. March 5.--China's part in the
war was reviewed today by Mr. wang.
one of the Chinese peace delegates, at a
reception to the newspaper correspond
ents given by the Peace Commission.
Mr. Wang said China expressed to the
Allies her desire TO enter the war against
Germany and to participate In the
Anglo Japanese operations at Using
/ Tao in August, 1914, but the proposal
was not pressed, owing TO an intima =
tion reaching tho Chinese Government
that its proposed participation probably
would create complications with certain
powers"
/ Again, in November, 1915" Mr.. Wang
added, China was prepared to enter
the war I'm assoc alton with the Allies,
but the japanese Government refused
its assent"
Reveals Diplomatic Note
Mr.. Wang read a note from NJ
krupensky, the Russian Ambassador in
Toxic, dated February 3, 1917, addressed
TO the Russian Foreign Office, saying he
repeatedly had urged on Japan the ad'
visibility of Chna's intervention in the
war and today pointed out again to the
japanese Foreign Minister that the pres
ent moment was particularly favorable
in view of the position taken by the
United States and the proposal made
by IL to neutral powers TO follow their
example.
"On the other hand" the note OF NJ
Krupensky said, the Foreign Minister
pointed out the necessity for him, in
view OF the attitude of Japanese pubhC
opinion, as well as with a view to safe
guarding Japan's position in the future
Peace Conference, IL China should be
admitted to it, to obtain the support OF
the Allied powers for the desires OF
Japan for succession to the rights ana
privileges hitherto possessed by Ger
many in Shantung province and tht
acquisition of Pacific Islands north OF
the Equator now occupied by the Japan
/ ese Viscount Montono then Foreign
Minister) told me the japanese Govern
ment would like an immediate promise
by the Russian Government to support
the foregoing desires of Japan.
Tells of China's War Contribution
Mr., wang explained that more than
l2O 900 Chinese had labored behind the
lines in France and many had been
killed They participated in the British
operations in Mesopotama and in Ger
man East A!.!ca and manned British
ships. China gave to the Allies, he said
| nine steamships and offered an army
of 100, 900 men, but the Allies could not
accept the proffer owing to the lack oil
tonnage.

1t is not likely that Captain Lardie Davis
will start the battle. Davis was injured
in the game against Columbia and is
being rested for the two remaining
league tilts with Cornell and Princeton.
II is probable that Mike Sweeney will
be switched TO center and Peck moved
up from guard to forward. as was the
case in the Haverford battle. And Stan
nard will be the other forward. Danny
McNichol will be one of the guards. and
the other post lies between Mouradian,
Mitchell and Fucker.
The varsity game will start at $3.50.
There will be preliminary freshman
contest, which will begin an hour before
the big attraction.
