Robins Are Singing as Harbingers of Spring The robins are singing tra la, tra la! Also, nature lovers returning from the country yesterday carried arm fuls of pussy willow . Nature has sounded the reveille, earlier than usual this year and thereby played a little practical joke on the world by heralding the com ing of spring in mid-winter. As a result, several suburban residents have robins on their front lawns and Have seen the buds of early flowers and trees swelling. A voracious Jenkentown man reports seeing a voracious wasp buzzing around his lawn. Stewardson Brown, the botanist, said yesterday that this probably would retard the flowering plants and the trees when spring is really here, but two springs are better than one, Any day, even if one is brief. According to Mr. Brown, many of the early flowers burst into bloom a few weeks ago, when a long rainy spell followed a drought. Primroses and pansies actually were blooming, and many of the tree buds were swollen. In Fairmount Park the grass turned a brighter green after the soaking rain, and signs, of spring were everywhere in the air. . Of course, this means that all those buds which came out too early were frozen and will not revive in the early spring months, accordig to the botanist. The spring growths will be thinner, since many of thd 1 ■ buds have been killed. HoweveV, the robbins are here to stay, so it means spring after all. 1,188 New Oil Wells in Texas Last Year Oil ritj-.

Speaker Clark declared in the House yester day during debate on the diplomatic appropriation bill, in favor of "every American soldier being withdrawn from Russia and tho rest of Europe."- "General Dupont, in a recent in terview," said tho Speaker, "said our boys would be kept overseas for an other two years. He made enough money out of selling powder during the war to till this house with one dollar bills, and he' says our boys will be needed to help tear down barbed wire and police Europe. "If the Belgians and French want the wire torn down, let them do it themselves. After we licked tho Germans for them, they surely can police Europe themselves.

Wang, a member of the Chinese delegation who has been prominent in the South China government, said to tho As sociated Press correspondent to-day that these two portions of China were thoroughly united on the question of foreign policy. Tho delegation now in Paris, he declared, represents China as an. allied nation, independ ent of other nations, seeking the full restoration of its sovereignty and asking the conference to free it from treaties and agreements which pre vent its economic development.

Germans in East Prussia Are Opposing Bolshevism By Associated Press Warsaw, Jan. 23. —That the Ger man population of the East Prussia provinces not only are anti-Bolshe viki but are organizing an army to protect the frontiers is the main fact found during a journey from Warsaw over the Polish frontier to Danzig and Hemel. It also was found that the army of General Von Hoffman, both men and officers, while iincontaminated by Bolshevism is demoralized and indifferent to the fact that the arms and munitions they are selling to Lithuania will later be used against the Germans. From conversations picked up aboard trains, which were crowded with civilians and soldiers, it seemed apparent that the new army has been organized locally but is under vague direction from Berlin. The single district of Ostrowo furnished 30,000 soldiers. It is affirmed that two di visions of the new army are gradu ally working to the frontier of East Prussia, there to halt the Bolshevik troops, against which feeling is bit ter.

First, perhaps, o ' tho appearance of Sammy Schiff, premier local pugilist with "Knockout" Russell, of Lan caster. The second is the re turn of our friend Dick Conlon who makes a noise like a goose when agitated in the ring", thin adding materially to the general diversion. He is to encounter Kid Frederick, of Allentown. A third event is the major bout of the evening, introducing Larry Han son, the durable Dane, and Mr Dundee, who claims Allentown as his hopie.
