BLISS SEES WORLD
HURT BY ARM|ST|CE
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, November lin
ternational complications have result
ed and world peace has been delayed
not because of the fact OF the arni-
stice. but because of the form Of IT,"
declared Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss,
former chief of the American general
staff and a member of the American
delegation to the peace conference, in
an address before the Sons of tho
American Revolution here tonight.
The armistice was made because
all of the allied world wanted it. and
for no other reason" said Gen. Bliss
But its defective form. for which
America was In no way responsible,
invited and permitted in a consider
able degree the delay which proved
the bane of the peace conference. and
which had much to do in preventing
the re-estabiishment Of the peace Of
the world.
THE one great error OF tho
arnistice, as now admitted by the
thinking men generally in Europe.
was in the failure to demand COM
plete surrender with resulting dis
armament and demobiliZa tion. Tho
situation as it existed at that moment
would have compelled acceptance of
this condition by the Germans.
"Such an armistice could have been
followed in a few days by the pre-
liminary treaty of peace imposing he
military. naval and air terms. I'm
m ediately the allied commission could
have been set to work dismantlinC
fortihcations. abolishing the military
system, closing arms factories and,
in fact, doing all OF the things that
more than a year later they had I"
do under circumstances Of far greater
difficulty.
And. above all, the remaining peace :,
terms. relating largely to world CON-
ditions for generations TO come,
could have been more calmly dis
cussed without the fear of a suddenly
revived military Germany which
haunted the daily proceedings Of the
actual peace conference"

dealers.
no increase in sales orders haye
been noticeable for some time,
Ralph famuont of the Lamont Coal
company said" and people are mere
ly waiting to see how things turn
out before they buy any more coal.
They are depending upon their
dealers to take care Of them when
it is time to put in the winters sup
ply"
There is no market price for coal
at this time and there will not be
until the mines are in action again.
The prices in Rock Island offices
range up to SIS a ton.
Frank H. Rockwell, Of the Rock
well-Empire Ice and Fuel company.
said that the only thing for people
to do is to be patient and they
would have coal to burn this win
ter as SOON as difficulties are ironed
out. He remarked that the prices
would probably be a little higher
at first.
A few orders are being taken, &C
cording to v. L. Hall, in the Rock
Island office of the w. G. Block
Coal company. People are not
ordering heavily now and seem to
be waiting, for conditions that will
offer them better price" he said.
The dealers expressed the opin-
| ion that business would pick up
soon and although no extra amount
of coal is being received in Rock
Island the dealers regular custo-
mers are being satisfied in one or
two-ton lots. Very few people have
their entire winter supply put
away at this time Of the year. The
extreme hot weather has taken the
peoples minds completely off the
coal or providing heat for the win
ter, dealers say.
; They added that Rock Island peo-
pie need not worry. All will be
taken care Of this winter, dealers
give assurance.
