The future supply is a question. As Winter is upon us surely no wise home keeper is going to delay much longer the purchase of fuel for the weeks and weeks of cold weather ahead of us. Our advice is—buy all the coal you need at once—don't delay longer. H. M. KELLEY & CO.

B. MARTIN, Manager :J | STRENUOUS DAYS KEEP CREWS BUSY Reading Freight Traffic Is Breaking All Records; Long Trains Necessary Reading, Dec. 15.—These ara stren ous days on tlie Philadelphia and Reading Railway. Traffic is so heavy that it requires the finest kind of manipulating on the part of the train dispatchers to keep it on the mdve. Congestions are becoming more fre quent In the yards and at the ter minals. The long trains which are sent Kast from Rutherford are moving slowly and the changing of the 16- hour limit is becoming moro fre quent. There is not a day that this does not happen and fresh crews must be sent out to relieve the men. Railroaders contend that it is all right to hang on the cars but that there Is such a thing as exceeding the limit. They say there Is a vast dif ference In the pulling qualities of a locomotive but one of the most nn noying features is the pulling out of drawheads and tha delay that follows In side tracking the defective cars. Too Many ItrejiUs It often happens that when a train parts between stations and some dis tance from a siding results in a block ade and upsets the calculations of the train dispatchers. The volume of business on the Lebanon Valley and East Penn has never been so heavy. Of late it has been almost impos sible to keep the passenger trains strictly on time. Much of this trou ble, however, is attributed to yard conditions and a lack of facilities to take care of tlio traffic as it comes rolling in from the different lines. Shortage of power is another factor and one that is causing the railway officials more or less trouble. The Reading is in receipt of new and heav ier motive power and it is expected that by the end of the present year it will be in fairly good shape espe cially on the Lebanon Valley and East Penn.

Sir Edward supported by th Ameri can and French delegates, spoke in plenary session for some sort of de crease, saying: "My government is a convinced sup porter of these high aspirations." No General Action Nevertheless the subject did not go to general discussion and there was no further action than the mere state ment of views by the favoring States. Since the 1907 conference, however, the subject has been widely discussed unofficially but very little by tho var ious governments. More of the nou iral European diplomats have askod their governments to authorize them to assure President Wtlson of support In any move designed to bring about consideration of the offer to dlcuss peace. For diplomatic reasons they decline to permit disclosure of their identity at this time. It is understood that In the case of each neutral government tho course of action will be developed by the respec tive cabinets and rulers. Among the neutrals the view was reflected that the advantages of sup porting President Wilson In any action he may take would be two-fold. Neu tral diplomats are certain that the weight of the collective opinion and wishes of many neutrals, headed by i , the Unted States, necessarily would demand the greatest consideration. Also should the joint action not bring about consideration of the proposals President Wilson would be left free to act on his own initiative later. Tho German embassy to-day was was without additional advices of any kind from Berlin. Count Von Berns torff made no appointment to see Sec retary Lansing.
