12 STEEL!ON AND BETOEL TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCE .Has Had Several Narrow Es capes While Driving an Ambulance in France In a letter to his parents, Mr. and | Mrs. Charles H. Beidel, Front street, iDouglas Beidel tells of some narrow escaes from injury while doing his ;bit for his country in France. The letter wan written on December 21, .in which he tells of some of the •Christmas preparations. Tbe letter follows: "Here we are, only a few more ("ays until Xinas, and up close to Fritz. It has been a long, tiresome grind for our boys and several weeks ago we haed hopes of spending the holidays back in the interior, but it looks very much as though we are doomed to spend them at the front. Did I say doomed?. I don't mean that, for we will consider it a pleas ure to spend these days at the front with our ' brave comrades, some of whom have spent three years thus. "We are planning a big time for Xmas. Our mess sergeant has promised us a real Xmas dinner — turkey, craaberry sauce, pumpkin pie and all the 'fixing' of a real din ner. To do our bit we have all promised to act as civilized as pos sible. We have agreed to use knives and forks and napkins, even if it must be a clean handkerchief. Of course, to add a little of the French custom, champagne will not be found wanting. "Now, • wouldn't it be just like 'Fritz' to break through and break up our big time? But we think that Fritz will have enough to occupy his rnlnd. I have made arrangements to send the Boche a few Xmas gifts. It may sound strange, but it's the truth. I am going to try to send them a few of the French 75's. I think that this would top off the day and I could truthfully say I spent a Merry Xmas. "Yesterday we received our Xmas gifts from Uncle Sam. We got gum boots and, believe me, we needed them. Has it been cold in the States? Cold as blazes here and lots of snow, eight inches on the ground "I must tell you of an experience I had the other day. It had been snowing for a day and a night. I was sent out from my base to a post about twenty miles away. I had gone but several miles until I was caught in a snowdrift and it sure was some drift. When an ambulance Is on duty the driver can comman deer anything but a staff car or mu nition train to lend assitance. I got several artillery horses and several shovels and fought my way through the drift I was tied up only five times on the trip and after about eighteen hours managed to get back to my base.

So far everything was lovely—only a little hard work, but no excitement. When I was returning to my base after having deposited my wounded in the hospital I had a brush with a Hun aviator. The sky was very gray and he had floated in with the dusk. Suddenly I heard him swooping down. I was right opposite a large atnmuniton depot and knew what he was after. Machine guns started to pater like riveting machines in . the B & C. He kept coming lower and lower, opening his machine gun as he descended, then suddenly shot off parallel to the ground, dropping two bcmbs. The explosions were terrific and my "Henry" was raised oft the road. Luckily, the depot was not hit or possibly you would never have received this letter. Yes, it's a great life if you don't weaken.

Bloomenthal, 322 Hamilton street, are both in the service of the allies. Mr. Bloomenthal has recently received a letter from James, who is with the American Expeditionary force in France, serving in the Seventeenth Field Artillery. He declares that France is a country of strange customs, and the sights he is seeing are won derful. Emanuel, the 15-year-old son, un able to enlist in the United States Army because of his youth, enlisted in the Canadian Army, and is now ready to embark from Halifax for the theater of war. In his trip across the country, during which he visited points of interest in cities like Mon treal and Quebec, young Bloomenthal describes the wonders of the country through which he passed, and declared that the sights 1m has already seen have more than paid him for enlisting. Emanuel described the effusions of the Canadian girls as his troop train passed through the cities, declaring FIRST THAW MAY REMOVE ALL SNOW [Continued from First Page.] o'clock this morning the register was 35 above. There will be a slight fall to-night, the lowest expected to be not more than 30 degrees. After that a rise is promised and moderate temperature for the rest of the. week. Mr. Demain is not prone to general prognostications, but to-day he de parted from the rule so far as to say that the great quantity of snow gives hope that there will be little rain in thenear future. This might mean that there will be no sudden, de moralizing thaw, but a slow one. At noon the temperature was in the forties for the first time in many weeks. Thermometers registered 80 degrees in the sun and water poured off roofs until many of the larger buildings resembled minature water falls. Snow in the streets for the first time since early in December turned into slush. Conditions Improve Mayor Daniel L. Keister announced that he will not issue a call for Har risburgers to turn out next Monday with their shovels, teams and trucks to clear away the snow from- the city streets. After the extreme cold of last Monday that prevented the city-wide snow cleanup from being as complete a success as expected, it was tentatively decided to repeat the movement Monday. With the break in the weather to day, and the chance of a thaw con tinuing, the Mayor does not think it will be necessary to have a snow removal on the part of the citizens Monday. Mayor Keister also an nounced that the city highway de partment is taking care of the snow laden streets, and the traffic condi tions are improving as well as can be expected. Inlets Are Closed With the thaw to-day, comes the danger of flooded streets through the inability of frozen sewer inlets to provide an easy outlet for the water collecting on street surfaces. Most of the sewer inlets are covered with ice, and consequently there is no place for the water to go. The Mayor has issued a request that all citizens scatter salt on the frozen surfaces of the water sheds to ensure easy out let for the water. C. M. Kaltwasser, general man ager of the Harrisburg Light and Power Company, said this morning that his plant now has enough coal on hand to last until Saturday morn ing. It has been impossible, he said, for him to procure coal in quantities, and his plant must continue to use coal on a hand-to-mouth basis. Nine cars of bituminous were received by the company yesterday, and three cars are being received daily from the Bethlehem Steel Company. Ross A. Hickok, county fuel ad ministrator, is trying to get other in dustrial .plants in the city to con j tribute towards the coal supply of the light and power plant for the common good, and hopes to an nounce the acquisition of much more river coal by night fall. He is trying to get the United States Fuel ad ministration to insure a sufficient coal supply to the power company. Mr. Hickok has been in direct com munication with Washington, and hopes to secure the promise of six cars daily from Dr. Garfield. More Coal Arrives More than ten cars of coal arrived in Harrisburg yesterday over the Pennsylvania lines and were consign ed to city dealers. The coal situation in the city is expected to be much less acute than it has been in the past if the warm weather of to-day continues. The Ghamber of Commerce offices received 300 calls for assistance dur ing the unusual coal of yesterday, eighty-five of which were urgent, and supplied with coal. The sudden rise In temperature over night decreased the demand for coal so much that hut two telephone calls were received by the fuel commission up until 10 o'clock this morning. A serene sign of spring was an nounced this morning from Allison Hill, where Thomas p. Beidleman, father of Senator E. E. Beidleman, every morning feeds a flock of spar rows In his back yard. Keen ob server, Mr. Beidleman was surprised to see two genuine blackbirds In the feathered fathering. In thirty years' observation, he said, he had never seen these enterprising birds make their appearance so early and he concluded that they herald signs of the good old summertime. iiPiK * J w EMANUEL, BLOOMENTHAL them to be very enthusiastic over sol diers. Apropos of the Halifax disaster, he writes: "We are now in Halifax, awaiting orders. It must have been terrible here. You <n still read in the papers lists of unidentified dead being taken out of the ruins, and let me tell you it is terrible. Buildings for miles around are wrecked to hits; ships, freight cars —-everything is nothing but a complete wreck. "We were supposed to sail tq-day on the •Olympia.' But she sailed for New York to take over American troops. We will then have to wait till Sunday night or Monday morn ing." PEACE PARLEY IS IN PROGRESS [Continued from First Page.] Russians similarly "damaged" the direct wire between Petrograd and Berlin used by the AustrO-German delegation. Foreign Minister Trotzky is re ported to be at Brest-Litovsk. M. Kasakoff, former chancellor of the Russian embassy at.Tokio, has been arrested by the Bolslieviki. He is charged with attempting to in fluence the Japanese and British em bassies and the Chinese legation against entering into relations with the Bolsheviki government. Ensign Issues Decree; Is Arrested by Poles By Associated Press Petrograd, Wednesday, Feb. 6. Ensign Krylenko, the Bolsheviki commander-in-chief, has issued a decree ordering that all supplies be cut off from the Polish legion in the Russian army and declaring its commander, Dovbor Mousnitsky, an outlaw. He also appeals to all Bol sheviki to leave Polish commands. The decree was prompted by the refusal of the Polish commands to reduce their officers to the ranks and submit to Bolsheviki democrat ization. A wireless dispatch received at Berlin from Kiev and forwarded to Amsterdam Tuesday, said Ensign Krylenko and his staff had been ar rested by the insurgent Poles. FIRST MIDDLETOWN UNIT SIX BUILDINGS [Continued from First Page.] the same size each, but will be six stories to height.

Locke's celebrated novel, and also in terprets the part of Unity Blake, an uncouth character, who is introduced as an inmate of an orphan asylum. As Stella Maris, surrounded by every lux ury wealth can command, and protect ed from even tlje slightest knowledge of wordly things, the comparison with Unity Blake presents a startling con trast. Through an amazing chain of circumstances the two girls—the Ugly Duckling and the delicate and beauti ful Stella Maris—love the same man, and then comes a supreme sacrilice, the giving of Unity Blake's life for the man she loves and for Stella Maris. The portrayal of two characters so vastly different by Mary Pickford will probably stand as a wonderful achievement in screen art.
