Coal Situation in Bellefonte Still
Serious.
The coal situation in Bellefonte
while not as desperate as it was last
week when the “Watchman” went to
press is still quite serious; in fact it
might be correctly described as a
hand-to-mouth condition. Six car-
loads of soft coal were diverted to
Bellefonte last Friday, two carloads
for each of the three dealers and it
has been doled out in half ton lots to
individual consumers so as to tide
everybody through this cold weather
period.
Fortunately the Steam Heating
company has been able to get a sup-
ply sufficient for its needs and has
kept up sufficient pressure to serve
all its patrons, and this has been a
very great relief.
The Bellefonte Fuel & Supply com-
pany had their yard practically clean-
ed out on Wednesday morning, but
the same day they got in a carload of
Punxsutawney coal and that evening
got in a car load of stove coal, the!
first carload of anthracite to come in-
to Bellefonte in almost three weeks.
The car was shifted into their yard
as soon as it reached Bellefonte and
the coal disappeared almost like mag-
ic yesterday.
Down at the Winton yard a car load
of cannel coal was received on Wed-
nesday evening, so that they will have
a supply to last over Sunday.
No coal has been received at the
McCalmont & Co. yard, however,
since the two cars of soft coal last
Friday, and that is the condition as it
existed in Bellefonte yesterday.

President Wilson Outlines Aims, for
Which America is Fighting.
Washington, Jan. 8.—In terms that
were. specific and unquestionable,
President Wilson today stipulated be-
fore a joint session of Congress the
aims for which America is now fight-
ing.
This country, he said, will continue
the struggle until these aims are
achieved.
In compliance with the wishes of
the Russian people, who had asked
for a definition of America’s princi-
ples and purposes, the President spoke
| today, and it was largely to the Rus-
i sians that his speech was directed.
He struck out at the sinister acts of
the German rulers, in the light of all
future negotiations and treaties, and
held to his resolution to stand for ter-
ritorial adjustments that will insure
peace. 2
The terms that he outlined are as
follows, and each met with prolonged
applause from the Legislators:
Declaring against private interna-
tional understandings about the free-
dom of the seas.
The establishment of trade agree-
‘ments and the removal of economic
|
|
| great.
| barriers.
The reduction of national arma-
ments.
Impartial adjustment of colonial
' claims.
The evacuation of Russian and Bel-
gian occupied territory.
The evacuation and restoration of
all French territory, including Alsace-
Lorraine.
Readjustment of the Italian bound-
aries.
Autonomy for the people of Aus-
tria-Hungary.
Rumania, Serbia and Montenegro
to be evacuated.
Serbia to be given free access to
the seas, and the relation of the Bal-
kan States to be restored along his-
torical and national lines.
Turkey's portion of the Ottoman
Empire to remain as it is at present.
The Dardanelles to be internation-
al and independent.
A Polish State, of all nationalities,
to be created.

Latest News from the War Zone.

Bad weather continues to prevail
on most of the major battle fronts,
but nevertheless the heavy artillery
duels are proceeding and at several
points infantry attacks of small pro-
portions have been carried out.
The Germans in one of these ma-
neuvres, which apparently was more
of the nature of a raid than an attack
by large forces, entered British ad-
vanced posts north of the Ypres-Sta-
den railway, but later were forced out
by a counter-attack. On the famous
St. Mihiel salient, southeast of Ver-
dun, which has described a sharp
wedge in the battle line since the
early days of the war, French troops
have raided German positions on a
mile front, destroyed the positions
and returned to their own line with
178 prisoners and some machine guns.
The German war office admits the
French success in invading the Ger-
man positions, but says the French
were ejected from them in a counter-
attack.
On the Italian front a heavy snow
|ig falling and aside from intensive ar-
tillery duels from the Asiago plateau
to the Piave river and small patrol
encounters, there has been no fight-
ing worty of mention.
Both the British and French news-
papers enthusiastically endorse Pres-
ident Wilson's statement of war aims.
Likewise it has met with the entire
approval of the representatives of
labor in Great Britain. In a mani-
festo the Laborites say that in the
present statement the Labor party can
find no portion upon which the allied
democracies are likely to disagree
{and that if it reaches the people of
the central powers it will reinvigor-
ate the popular movement toward
peace in those countries “and give
their demands for peace a weight
and authority that cannot be denied.”
Germany has extended her subma-
rine zone to include the waters
around the Cape Verde islands, Ma-
deira and a portion of those of French
Sengal, all off the northwest coast of
Africa. Through these waters lay
important trade routes from the Pa-
cific and Indian oceans, South Africa
and South America to Europe.

Gov. Brumbaugh Wants Denny O’Neil
for Governor.
Harrisburg, January 9.—Governor
Martin G. Brumbaugh tonight opened
the State administration’s opposition
to Senator William C. Sproul, of Del-
aware county, as a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor.
Simultaneously, the setting up of the
pins in behalf of Highway Commis-
sioner J. Denny O’Neil began. Attor-
ney General Francis Shunk Brown,
who has been much talked of as a pos-
sibility, has let Mr. O’Neil know that
their ambitions are not likely to con-
flict .and Gifford Pinchot had a long
chat with Mr. O’Neil, in which he is
said to have assured him of kindl in-
terest. Mr. Brown refused to talk
and Mr. Pinchot merely said that Mr.
O’Neil was a pleasant man to meet.
The Governor's action tonight
makes it plain that he is going to take
the stump when the campaign starts
and will support O’Neil or whoever is
picked as the administration man by
voice and pen.
United States to Counteract German
Influence.
Petrograd, Jan. 9.—For nearly
three weeks, and in fact, ever since
the Russo-German peace parleys
opened at Brest-Litovsk, the Ameri-
can government has carried on a vast
and effective propaganda all over
Russia, through the medium of the
committee of publicity.
Gigantic bill boards reproduce
passages from President Wilson’s
speeches on the war, parts showing
the friendliness of the United States
for Russia being utilized.
Apparently the United States gov-
ernment is awake, at last, to the need
of counteracting the German influ-
ences and is carrying its appeal di-
rect to the people.

Give Up Your Fat to Nation.
According to statistics compiled by
the life insurance companies, there
are, between the ages of 35 and 55
years, a vast number of people who
are hoarding and accumulating fat
enough to supply energy equivalent
to that of 690,355,533 loaves of bread,
enough to supply an army of 3,000,-
000 men for 60 days, says the Pop-
ular Science Monthly. A man who is
40 pounds overweight is carrying on
his body the equivalent in fuel value
of 135 one-pound loaves of bread.
If the guilty ones would cease this
accumulation (which they are willing
enough to do) it would release much-
needed fuel foods, such as wheat,
corn, oats, barley and rye. There are
two ways of surrendering this fat.
One is by judicious exercise and the
other is by substituting other foods
for the fat-building kinds.
As to Enemy Emblems.
From the Boston Transcript.
There may not be a law against
the flying of enemy flags in this
country, but there is a popular preju-
dice against them which should afford
a sufficient word to the wise. The
young woman who rushed into a
Philadelphia restaurant and took
from the window the Austrian and
German flags with which it was deco-
rated was applauded by a large
crowd and the police refused to in-
terfere when the proprietors of the
place summoned them. The owner of
the place, it is reported, was born in
Germany. His experience should
serve as a warning for all who think
that naturalizition papers can be used
as a license to insult the country
which they infest with their presence.
