of the men shouted and the truck slowed
up.
'Aw, go ahead YOU can make it,
yelled a man, and the driver started the
truck forward.
"As ne did I divod right out over
the heads of the men on the taiIboard
and landed on my hands and knees.
Then ! heard the worst crash I ever
heard, it was worse than anything !

No Compromise, Says Lodge
The President decision drew from
Republican leaders emphatic statements
that there would be no compromise aud
that their original program of procedure
would be adhered to.
1.-The only result has been to harden
our lines. said Senator Lodge.
1t was the view Of the Republican
leaders that the Senate probably would

but it gradually worked its way over
every part of the city.
First reports of the density of the
fog came from New Jersey. Farmers
and others using motorcars headed for
this city were hardly able to penetrate
the mist even with powerful headlights.
Many of them were forced to stop along
the roads and search for landmarks to
ascertain whore they were.
All lower Jersey trolley lines were far
behind schedule, and when persons
headed for places of employment in the
early hours they found the ferry lines
almost at standstill On the Penn
sylvania line from Camden to Market
street only one boat was allowed on the
river at time to avoid accidents. Even
then the pilots were guided to their
slips only by the tollng of the bells on
either side of the river.

when the passengers realized they were

The warmer atmosphere sweeping in
