GLASsnrmn tj t r.t, r-,i v.in.
i throughout South Jersey have been nearly
utHicu Dy tno severe weather, nnd this
lea-Ion Is threatened with the most serious
coal famine of the winter.
Many dealers report that It Is now
lmost impossible for them to get
mpments of coal In the cheaper grades,
such as buckwheat and pea, and only a Iim
km number of carloads of chestnut and
tove are being received. Along the river
iront, where most of the coal supply Is
h pped In by boat, the ice has halted all
shipments.
The dealers are making efforts to take
v. thelr customers by apportioning out
wnat coal they have in small lots, where
tne -need Is the greatest. There Is a bigger
cemand for firewood than during any recent
winter and many private families are burn

DARES DEATH ON BATTLEFIELD
WITH BRAVE FRENCH AUMOIER
Correspondent Crawls to Mouth of German Guns
With Unarmed Soldier-Priest on
Mission of Mercy
By HENRY DAZIN
SvteM Correspondence Evening Ltdotr
TAniS, Jan. 10 This story of a recent
personal experience In Prance must, "for
obvious reasons, contain neither the names
of places nor tho names rf men.
I had spent the entire day with nn ambu
lance corps behind the front. At 7:30 In
the evening 1 obtained irmltslon to ride
wltli an automobile driver to a point where
hs suffering load would be transfcired to
his care, At this given point I left Mm to
ride farther In n horse ambulance with
destination closer behind the first line.
"You may have to walk back." said the
driver, "provided my load needs all the
room, Including your Beat "
As ho turned to his work at the end of
our destination. 1 naw etai'dlng before me
one of the admirable tvpes m the admirable
trench army an numonler the unarmed
soldier priest. Of all th brave men In the
valiant army of Trance, he aumomcr nnd
the brancandler or ambulance beircr are In
tho front rank. For they vvorlc unarmed,
under fire, sometimes n fire of hell, succor
ng the wounded, bearing them on back or
in stretcher from where (hey have fallen to
the posto do secour, often falling them
selves in the act of their noble work.
THU FRENCH ACMONIER
My numonler. a "fine figure of a man,"
"aa about to go to tho front-line trenches
Obtaining his permission, I exclmnged my
hat for the helmet of the pollu, "the best
umbrella ever made," and followed
Vpon our walk through the communicating
trenches In the faint light of the moon's
first digit we were Jolnod by two efflcers
In a few moments wo were In an unceasing
fire from tho Boclfe lines Now nnd then
we crouched in the trench to escape frag
ments from a shell breaking close by
Every few minutes, three t.mes In three, or
once in five, a "150" or "2:0" sang its
death song as It pasied high over our
heads.
Trom the front-line trench we clambered
to tho shell-cratered, muddy ground above,
standing In a group for n moment ere ad
vancing to the nearby observation post
that was our destination It was fifty feet
away nnd about 000 from the Invader's
front line. Suddenly, out of tho near black
dlMnnce behind It came a swepplng light,
swinging from the northeast In n slow,
bteady circular movement to the west. It
was a German searchlight.
The range was too high and would escape
uh But suddenly It lowered and struck us
fair, stopping instantly My three com
panlons jelled to mo to follow, and covered
tho few feot lo tho trench to scramble
down Its side before 1 stalled. But real
izing on the Instant, I followed, too. neither
walking nor running; for 1 Just threw my
self in a heap through the air to land In
the mud of tho trench's bottom as a
wicked fire of mitrailleuse spat harmlessly
over me.
SAVED Itr A HAIR
Tho light had not moved since landing
upon tho spot where we had stood The
shots, In total of perhaps 300, had begun
within thirty seconds nfte.- we Jiad Mt its
full glare. Since ue were an perhaps
twenty-eight seconds In reaching the cover
of the trench depression, .c was the miss
that was ns good as a. mile We crouched
and waited for the fire to cense. For a full
spaco of three mlnutoi Its crackling rain of
lead sang over our trench, then tho fire
ceased as suddenly as it had begun, and the
pearchllght continued its slow Journey to
ward the vvoit.
After a cigarette In an underground
shelter, for no one smoke nt night in tho
open nt the front, we bepan our Journey
back, with nlwaj s an Intermittent flro pass
ing over our heads We were quite safe,
for It was he-ivy shell. We were always
within 1000 feet of the Boche line, and at
times 700. Now nnd then wo left the com
municating trench for by trenches leading
In and out. covering thus a distance per
haps four times the straight Journey, only
It Is never a straight Journey, only a more
direct one.
About one-third the way we had to pis
through tho absolute ruin cf that wh'ch had
been tho village of on reconquered
territory. The trench wound through Its
black, desolate destruction, mostlv a mass
of crumbled stone, wi here and there a
piece of Jagged standing wall. Ovei three
enormous shell craters filled with muddy
water, within the village ruin, a footbridge
had been built
"They have this range." Bald my soldier
priest companion, "but it's a short rut and
we take a chance, ns it saves a bit of dis
tance. So, when they destroy It, we rebuild
It. Be careful. We are close to them."
Ah lie spoke, the faint moon had drifted
under a cloud, and It grew very dark. But
as two of us were still on the bridge near
the objective end, an olllcer and I, there
floated out of the darkness a Boche star
shell.
HARMLESS STAR SHELL
Now, a star shell Is a harmless thing In
Itself, carrying neither death nor destruc
tion It breaks In the air with the sound of
shrapnel, releasing a br'ght, vivid white
calcium light that in breaking Is automati
cally suspended from o small silk parachute,
which, slowly descending, Illumines as the
full light of day tho area about It for a
space of five minutes.
Its whiteness showed the head of our
soldler-prlest, the head and shoulders of the
officer descending Into the trench rehlnd
him, and the full silhouette of two figures
on thebrldge, myself and the second officer.
In the order named.
At the cry of "Vlte" from one of us we
threw ourselves upon our stomachs and
crawled In a quick squirm to a piece of
Jagged wall about thirty feet away, reach
ins its shelter from the trench Itself. Be

hind It we lay flat, close together, under an

centlmeter gun that before a moment had
passed tore the bridge to splinters.

MERCER, Pa Feb. 8 Judge J. A. Mc
Laughry In Mercer County I.lcenso Court
refused all liquor license applications, and
for tho second time decreed that the sale
of booie In this county is not necessary
Thero were twenty-ono applicants from
Sharon, Farrell, Wheatland, Shnrpsvlllo and
Oreenvllle, The action of the court oc
casions no surprise. Tho court to ocralon
to denounce outsiders, who nro soliciting
and shipping booze Into dry territory.
In the opinion Judge McLaughry san;
Wo nre of the opinion that no public
good enn come from th. use of intoxi
cating liquors as a beverage From
the testimony before ua In tho two li
cense courts over which we have pre
sided, we aro led to bellevo that this
Is the opinion of fair-minded persons.
One year ago the remonstrants made
this an Important part of their cases.
At the hearing this year a considerable
part of the time was used In presenting
tho facts detrimental to the public good
occasioned by Intoxicating liquors dur
ing the last year. The injurious ef
fects of Intoxicating liquors In the re-v,
spectlvo communities Is, therefore, con
ceded. It Is apparent that a large amount of
liquor Is being shipped Into tho county.
Notwithstanding that our people regard
the use of Intoxicating liquors as detri
mental nnd Injurious In every way.
nvarlclous men from neighboring cities,
whose greed for tho dollar predomi
nates over their Interest In the happi
ness and prosperity of others, seek a
market here.
In rev lowing tho testimony given for the
Oreenvllle applicants the court said that of
eight who testified favorably two were ap
plicants who had formerly been employed
by a wholesale denier, one was formerly
engaged In the liquor buslncsn, and nnother
had at one time nppllcd for r wholesale
license
"If conditions were such ns testified by
them, why vvern threre not In court sub

of public enterprises?" he saks
In passing on the validity of signatures
on the remonstrance presented, lo W
with power of attorney attadienll
Mcljvughry held that the tlgnat 'r ha

The volumes are handy and convenient to use, all by reason of the thin but
tough India paper which is used in printing this work. It is a triumph of book making.
India paper is made 01 flax, .
which is also used for making linen. The only flax
good enough tor India papier is grown in Germany,
Belgium and Great Britain. Germany is shut off
from selling her flax; Belgium's flax fields are devas
tated, and England placed an embargo on her flax.
Even if the war stopped today, no more India
paper could be had for years. That means that when
the few thousand remaining sets of the Britannica
are sold your chance for securing it on India paper
is gone. 75,000 sets were sold in six months, so you
can see that the present supply will soon be gone.
We urge you to act at once,
so that you can begin to
enjoy the set immediately
and to avoid disappointment.
There is no question about the practical value
of the Britannica. Its 41,000 separate articles
span the whole range of knowledge from the
commonplace to the extraordinary. You need
the Britannica and you certainly ought to own it
in the popular "Handy Volume" form.
