lest they should not need, because
of the mild weather of this winter,
the coal they bought at high prices
in anticipation of a cold winter, may
now rest assured that they were

Coal dealers of Harrisburg to-day

anxiously as they were several
weeks ago, when their yards were

The secret of the situation is that
Harrisburg and surrounding country
is to have six weeks of winter

to-day by weather prognosticators.

More winter is in store for Har-
risburg than she has had yet thus
far Skaters are again examining
their skates, testing their straps and
providing that their skates may be
good and sharp that they may not
miss moments sport when the ice
finally does reappear on the Susque-
hanna river and lakes and creeks of
this territory.
Ice dealers are a little more conf
dent to-day that they will be able
to supply the great portion of the
city's needs of ice next summer from
the natural supply. Several weeks
ago the word was passed around
that unless the weather soon became
colder the city would experience an
ice famine, although there was no
real cause to worry until Febru-
airy Is. This danger is all past now
and Harrisburg dealers expect to
cut the bulk of their supply after
the late date. for there exists now
not a shadow of a doubt that the
sun will be in such condition as to
permit the groundhog to plainly see
his reflection when he peeps out

He recommended that full refuta-

American public.
Since the conclusion of the ar
mistice, the report added, Paris has
offered attraction to men mische-

this has resulted in monor disturb

reSarded as official 1t was written

The question, What would Ger
many consider a peace of right and
justice? may briefly be answered in
this way: That we would regard as
such settlement the terms of peace
laid down in President Wilson's ad-
dress to Congress January s, 1918,
and the principles of settlement in
his subsequent addresses, carried
out in true accordance with the
high-minded and far-seeing spirit
in which they were conceived
The Dominating Point
Among the fourteen points, the
dominating note, in our opinion, is
to be attributed to point No. IA,
providing for the constitution of a
League of Nations, which, as Mr..
Wilson said on September 81, must
bc a part and in q sense the most
essential part, of the peace settle

'As the great success of the re-
Gently founded German League of
Nations Society proves. German
leading men clearly recognize that
nothing but an international league
of free and equal peoples can do
away with imperialism and bring
forth u new world of order. The
German people feel that, given such
leasue and compulsory Grbitra-
tion, peace negotiations would offer
no particular difficulties, while with
out it's constitution in the peace set
tlement peace OF right and justice
will be well-nigh impossible.
To Abandon Compulsory Service
With regard to the first, second
and third points in Mr.. Wilson's pro-
gram we are in perfect accord with
him. In connection with point No.
II may be mentioned that Germany
is about to abolish obligatory mill
tary service, which thus far has
been considered the cornerstone of
her exposed position in Europe. AS
for point No. ). we welcome: Free,
open-minded and absolutely impair
tial adjustment of all colonial
claims proposed by Mr.. Wilson and
accepted by the entente govern
