CITY IS READY
FOR THE THIRD
LIBERTY LOAN
Committee to Push K)isjrict
Over the Top Next
Month
Simultaneous wit\j the announce
ment from Washington that the
Third Liberty Loan will be launched
February 15, conies the word that
Harrisburg and the' surrounding dis
tricts, through the chairmen of the
committees that handled the Second
Bond Sale, are putting themselves in
readiness to send Harrisburg over the
top in as signal a manner as was
done in the lirst and second loans of
the war.
Donald McCorniick, chairman of
the Liberty Loan committee in Har
l'isburg, has received word from the
Liberty Loan committee of the Third
Federal Reserve District, of which
the Harrisburg district is a part, to
get his district organized for tlie
third loan. Mr. McCoiyniek said this
morning that tjio organization of the
districts fo the work will be the
same as during the other loans. It-is
likely that the county chairmen will
be the same.
Mr. McCopmick said that the
Chamber of Commerce offices will
be headquarters for the loan, as be
fore, and Victor Lecoq, 3d,' bond
salesman, wjll ha.ve charge of the
headquarters.
William Jennings, chairman of a
committee organized some weeks ago
to recruit a civilian organization for
war work in Harrisburg, said that
an effort will be made to recruit the
committee to take active part in the
Liberty Loan Drive. He expressed
the opinion- that the expert secured
here to organize the district for the
Liberty Loan drive, will complete the
organization of the home war work
committee.
The Harrisburg Liberty Loan Dis
•trict will comprise the same territory
as formerly, Mr. McCormick said.
That territory consists of Perry, Jyni
ata, Dauphin, Mifflin and Cumber
land counties, with the exception of
Hhlppensburg In Cumberland coun
ty, which is not in the district.
GERMANY'S PEACE
HOPE FADES FAST

control of the government of the
t other half.
Kn<la Willing to Bargain
W Regarding the attitude of tne
Ukraine towards the Germans, the
Daily News says the Bada is willing
lo strike a bargain with the Ger
mans. Tho Petrograd correspondent
of (he Times who is now in London
writes the Ukrainians are determin-;d
lo send a mission to Brest-Litovsk
not to negotiate a separate peace,
but to ascertain Germany's inten
tions towards Little ltussia. The
Germans are willing, ho says, to
recognize the Bada 011 the basis that
the Ukraine supply Germany with
foodstuffs and recognize German
economic interests in the Ukraine.
Neither of these points, tho eor
| respondent adds, are to Little ltus-
L sian taste, but if the allies fail to
B help the Ukrainians #r adopt a
I policy of compromise with the 80l-
P shevikl tho Bada may have to yield
und tjio Cossacks too.
Newspapers in Petrograd continue
lo report lighting in the south where,
according to the correspondent of
the Times, civil war is waging fast
ahd furious. In several places there
are reported to have been scenes of
fierce fighting. These include Eka
terinoslav where it is said lighting
already lias lasted five days. How
ever, as communication south and
east from Petrograd is precarious at
the best, the reports convey little
information.
Amidst tho whirl of events In
volving the fate of the nation the
y Bolshevik government has found
time to decree that Russia shall
adopt phonetic-spelling on January
14. Three vowels and one consonant
were eliminated from the Bussian
alphabet.
Although the Bolshevik foreign
minister. Loon Trotzky, announced
that the German peace terms would
not be necepted, it was expected
that the Bussian delegates would re
turn to l'.rest-Litovsk for the meet
ings which were to be resumed to
day to inform the central powers of
Russia's attitude. The Russians re
quested transference of the negotia
tions to Stockholm. because they
would have less difficulty there in
obtaining full publicity concerning
the negotiations anil also because
Ihey pvefeVred a neutral place to the
German eastern '.headquarters for
holding the discussions. The Ger
man chancellor. Count Von Hert
ling, told the Reichstag main com
mittee on Thursday that the Ger
man delegates have been instructed
10 refuse to transfer the negotiations
to Stockholm.

Passenger Schedules
Improve, but Severe
Congestion Continues
By Associated Press
Philadelphia, Jan. 5. —Passenger
service on the Reading railway to
day approached normal schedules for
the first time in a week, the weather
having moderated.
Railroad officials believe tliey have
surmounted the congestion, and that
traftic will proceed smoothly unless
there should be a sudden storm and
drop in the temperature.
Service on the Pennsylvania,
though better than during the last
few days, still was late.
The New York-Philadelphia serv
ice of the two roads was not inter
fered with to-day, though inbound
trains over both lines were belated.
Pennsylvania officials, are hopeful
that the withdrawal of fifty-one
trains to-morrow, followed by the
elimination of 104 week-day trains
Monday, will give added motive pow
er to provide sufficiently for passeng
er schedules In the future and that
there will not be congestion next
week.
With the exception of a few
changes the main revision of passen
ger schedules on the Reading,
amounting to about 100 trains, will
not be effective until January 13.
Eleven Atlantic City trains will be
among those dropped hy the Bead
ing.
Tho Lehigh Valley Railroad, op
erating through the anthracite dis
trict, announces curtailment of pas
senger service amounting to 74,640
miles a month. It will result in a
saving of approximately 7,600. tons
of coal a month.

MESSAGE FROM
MASTERI.Y LETTER FHOM FATHER TO HIS SIX-YEAH-OI.D 'SON
TEI.I.S OF I.ONESOMEMESS
Dartmouth's one-time football
coach, Frank W. Cavanaugh, of Wor
cester, now a lieutenant in the heavy
artillery "Somewhere In France,"
has written a wonderfully touching
and beautiful letter to his 6-year-old
son David. It is in a masterly simple
style. It was published in the Wor
cester Post and then, in answer to
many requests, was reprinted. If you
have a little boy you'll like this let
ter. If you have any red blood vou'll
like it.
"Dear Davie Boy—Your good
mother writes me that you have a
chum, and she says he is a fine boy
who lives next door. Isn't that tine?
I wish I had a chum. You and your
mother used to be my chums and
sometimes Joe and Billy and even
dear little Rose Mario anil Phil, too,
when he was home; but now that is
all changed and I have no chum in
all the word. 1 think'lt's rather sad
sometimes, don't you, but I have
your pictures, which 1 take down and
talk to when I am lonesome.
"I am happy to know you like your
new school and home, and I'm sure
you'll only play with clean boys who
don't do anything very bad and who
also have great times together and
wasn't It fun when you'd come up to
the car to meet me? Then when you
saw me getting off, do you remember
how you'd hide behind a tree and run
up behind me and scare me after I
had passed? And do you remember
how sometimes you and I would race
and you were getting so you could
run pretty, fast, for you were getting
to be a big boy?
"And then we'd all go down to see
the circus and the parade and hold
hands so we wouldn't get separated
or lost. And then Christmas? Oh,
wasn't that a wonderful day! Earlv
In the morning how you'd all rush
downstairs to see your presents. And,
then, poor, tired mother would work
and work to give all you boys and
girls a Christmas dinner —turkey,
cranberry sauce and dressing and
plum pudding, and candy and nuts
and everything. Oh, Dave, did any
little boy ever have such a good
mother as you? 1 wonder'. And now
you are soon to have another Christ
mas and old Cav won't be home. But
I want you to have the finest time
you ever had on that day, so that I
may be happy over here thinking of
POSTERETTES READY TO
BOOST HARRISBURG BUSINESS
The postcrette campaign to boost
Harrisburg that is being conducted
by the Harrisburg Telegraph has
met with instaptaneous success.
< )rders for tens of thousands have
already been received in the poster
etto department, from businessmen
and others, who desire to assist in
the laudible work of advertising the
city and its industries.
Other cities have derived great
publicity benefits from the use of
posterettes. There is no valid rea
son why equally good results should
not be obtained for Harrisburg and
its vicinity.
Every letter and package going
out of the city by mall or express
should carry a postcrette for its ad
vertising value of this city. No
business firm or office should be
without them, for the reason that
they convey lfarrisburg's appeal to

you all. I wish I knew some little
boys and girls over here so that I
mlghttulk to them and hold their
hands and I would call them my
boys' and girls' names and pretend
that 1 was home.
"The other night I had a lovely
dream and I was so disappointed
when I awoke. I dreamed I was sit
ting in our kitchen with mother and
David and all the children, and a
chair which was tilted back against
the wall, slipped anil I fell gently
and without hurting me to the floor.
And then mother and you and all the
children laughed and laughed, just
like good, naughty folks. And you
came over and took my hand in
yours and lifted me up easily. Isn't
that funny, David? Think of any
boy lifting a big, fat father like me
from the floor with one hand. Then
we laughed some more, and suddenly
I remembered it was after 9 o'clock
I said, 'Why, children, what are you
doing out of bsd at this hour of the
night?' And you said, 'Why, it Isn't
often our father goes away to war
so we thought we ought to stay up
to say goodby.' And then I was so
surprised to learn that I hadn't gone
away to war yet that T suddenly
awoke, only to tlnd myself in \ny
little, lonely barracks and the I'ati
was coming down hard outside and
X was lonesome for my dear family.
"And now, David, old boy, every
one is in bed but rne, trying to get
lots of strength and health for the
big fights we will soon be In, so 1
must do likewise and end this letter
to you. You must always remember
that father came Into this great war
for the sake of all little children,
and 1 know that you will, while r am
gone, take good care of mother and
all the children. 1 can see you grow
ing up tall and straight, with should
ers back and head up, because thats
what ol<l 'Cav' wants, and you love

[all parts of the civilized' world for
I proper recognition,
j This city has much that is well
i worth advertising. The twenty
j posterettes Will carry auch advertis
ing to thousands upon thousands of
! places that .cannot be reached
' through ordinary advertising chatt
els. Those who use the beautifully
i designed and varicolored stamps
j will be doing something well worth
J while, not only for themselves, but
also for their home city, which is
sadly in need of advertising in dis
tant lields.
Posterettes are so designed that
they will ornament any letter or
package to which they are affixed.
Even private correspondents who
' love their homo city may use them
1 without doing violence to the con
ventions.
The public will be given a chance
to boost Harrisburg and it is to be
hoped that all will take advantage
of the opportunity.

Precautions Are Taken *
to Prevent Spread of

By Associated Press
Madrid, Jan. 5.—A revolutionary
movement has ben unearthed by tho
government. Telephone and tele
graph communications have been,
suspended and other precautions
taken.
Although remaining out of then
war, Spain has not escaped the po
litical unrest which it has produced.
There have been frequent strikes
and disorders, and it has been neces
sary to declare martial law at times
Tho most formidable movement oc

Milder Weather Sets in;
Coal Shortage Should
Improve Early in Week
Reading, Pa., Jan. s.—The rising
temperature which set in to-day—it
was 18 degrees above zero at 11
o'clock this forenoon—was the first'
hopeful sign that there will be relief
in the Schuylkill Valley so far as the
coal shortage and freight congestion
are concerned. The Reading Com
pany's collieries have been producing
as low as 50 per cent. Qf their output
on the coldest days and later this
was advanced to 75 per cent. To-day
it is expected the product will be up
to normal, or over 1,400 cars, up
wards of 00,000 tons of anthracite.
This will be sent to market to-night
and Sunday.
If warmer weather continues next
week more than 1,400 carloads can
be shipped, as the breakers are con- -J
gested with fuel which could not be
prepared this week because of the
cold. The cities where the coal short
age is acute, offlclals say, should be
gin to feel the effect of larger coal
shipments by Monday.
