I ,' ,f rnrln, sept. :u. j'7The stinging replies Rlen by rresl- nt Wilson and Premier Clemenceau to 't the pitiful Austrian effort to lead the (Allies Into a clumsy trap hae been I? received here with unbounded satlsfac- , tlpn. What has alo especially lm presaed the French people has been the promptness with which the replies hae been delivered, and aboc nil, In this Connection, the fact that President WIN 1 son dictated his scornfully plain-spoken answer within half an hour after the ' proposition had been presented to him )The nature of both replies has bem greeted here with Intense approbation j$ 'President Wilson's replv," iim Ous- jHere In La Vlctolre this morning, ''Is as definite as a blow from a bludgeon Premier Clemenceau's Is as cutting as a stroke from a Bword " Premier Clemenceau's speech In the Benate will rank high among his . noblect efforts Neer has the Tiger In. nil his long career and parliamen tary experience seized an opportunity with greater eagernes N"cer has he ,, voiced the deepest feelings of his coun trymen in more molng phrases Nevei i has the Tiger thrown himself on more - legitimate prey. Scarcely had PuboM, the president of the Senate, finished the address which Is customary at the resumption of slttlngb t l the House after a holiday, than the Premier asked permission to speak and Stepped to the tribune with an alertness -thai belled his seenty-slx years . Speech a Model of Oration The speech that followed was a model for parliamentary orators the world oxer. Bvery sentence was packed with things that. should be said and there was neer a superfluous word. N'obodj knows bet ter than Clemenceau how to present in a few burning phrases the highest ideals and deepest aspirations of France He baa cften done so since he again under took the responsibilities of leading his countrymen, but neer to greater effect After a molng expression of ' the Im mense gratitude felt by all nations worthy of the name toward the wonderful sol diers of the nntentc." the Premier and War Minister recalled the long ears through which France waited patiently, under German bullying ' not a day with out the threat of war .Not a dav with out some skillful brutality of tyranny The mailed first, the dry powder, the sharpened sword were the themes of Germany In the das of peace" A moUng reference to the many humilia tions German forced France to endure, and then a moment's pause- "We submitted to It all,' continued the speaker, raising his head high, 'and allently awaited the day that would Inevitably come " Then the Tiger, with ir&wlns anger In his olce, spoke pt Germany's Inexcusable crime In attaA lng France without even the appearance of a pretext, of the frightful results her murderous tury ms i.iusen ana 01 the magnificent heroism with which In. CZECH LEADER SEES SLAV TRIPLE ALLIANCE slaught. ' At this point, the whole Senate, which perha'ps Is less given to outward dls pliv of emotion than almost any other Senate chamber In the world, burst unanimously Into applause, when the veteran statesman, In Mbrant tones, passed on to detnll the coldlv calculated pillages, devastatldns and destructions which the Germans Inflicted on France The eloquent old man rose to the height of his anger and rarrled the whole Senate with him like a storm burst. Arronnt Nliall lie raid "The most terrible account ever opered between one people and another awaits pavment," he said, and then after a significant pause, the speaker added with characteristically vigorous gesture, "it shall be paid " The grim Intensity f his words nnd gestures totally devoid of all suspicion of theatricality, appealed instantlv to the assembled elder brethren of the republic and again cheers rang out At that moment, as he stood tene and stern at the tribune, Clemenceau was the perfect tvpe of the "splendid and savage old man' pictured by Walt Whitman In one of the most vibrant phrases of our language . moment later the orator rose to still greater heights, when In referring to the happy change which has come over the military situation, he nohlv paraphrased the "Mnrselllalse" and triumphantly proclaimed that ' that dav announced over a century ago In our natlonl hymn has trulv come The sons are complet ing todav the tremendous task begun bv their fathers" After this the trumpet call that closed the speech came rapldlv "Now," said Clemenceau. In effect, "It Is for our soldiers to decide what answer we shall give to Germany" "Heros au stoicism sourlant," he called them In an admirable phrase whlcn I refuse to spoil bv translating and which exactly describes the devoted pollus who dallv face death for Krance wun a smile on thelf lips 'Oermanv." cried Clemenceau sternly, has asked for a derision by the sword What Germany asked for, Germany shall have Our dead demand It. For ward then, soldiers of France, to the victory without stain All France, all humanity is with nu" President's Iteplv Praised President Wilson's statement on the Vtisttlan pfnie offer,' said a French statesman to me todav, "reminds me of Marshal Foeh's renlv In pantomime to Balfour. The British Foreign Secre tai, visiting France, asked Foch what he was iroihs to do to the Germans Forh did not say K word He doubled his right fist, thrust it out with a vigorous full-arm, and then repeated the gesture with his left arm Next the kicked out with his right foot, then with his left Bnlfour knew just what he meant. In the same wav, the whole world knows what the United States thinks of Austria's peace offers from the form of Wilson's reply." Gibbons to Attenil Farley Rites lliiltlmnre.

K v EVERY consumer, even with two-thirds of his winter's coal in his cellar,is naturally anxious to know whether He can expect to receive the balance of his order, and when. To these consumers it should be good news that Francis A. -Lewis, United States Fuel Administrator for Philadelphia, has ruled that the remaining one-third of their coal may,be delivered at any time after January 1st. Even with a severe winter, there should be no diffi culty in making the first two-thirds of the winter's coal last beyond that date, if every consumer practices careful economy. Everyone who has followed the coal situation under stands, of course, that no coal dealer can guarantee an exact date for the delivery of the last one-third of the winter's supply. The dealer himself is dependent upon the regularity of his own supply, and is seriously handi capped by the universal labor shortage two things be yond his control. But to those who. have entrusted their orders to us, we wish to say this: At the beginning of the coal crisis we pledged our-" selve,s to accept only as many orders as we had reason to believe we could deliver with certainty. And this applies to the last one-third of your coal as well as the first two-thirds. We want you to know that everything we can possi bly do to get coal and to deliver it to you when you need it, shall be done. GEO. B. NEWTON COAL CO.
