The Chambr of ('oini:i( i( again went on record as backing the fuel administrator in his work. 'losing of ( ity schools has heen taken under serious consideration as a. means of relieving the coal shortage in South Ib-nd, aoiding to F. I. Hardy, county lu-l administrator. "I feel that it has heroine more necessary, and more advisable, now than eer before," he declared Monday. Fut tun c;ir f coal arrived in South Fend Monday morning, to meet the increased demand caused by the Midden drop in tempei jtui u during the night. After comparative warn temper. tti. re on Saturday, the m'iaury started its d scent early Sunday morning, reaching 17, above at noon, and showing 12 above at t o'clo.-k Sunday night. Monday liinining the temperature was eiht ! low, at 7 o'clock", hut a strung north wind intensitied the cold contideraldy. The temperature at noon Monday. According to government records, was three decrees elow zero. -Not Well Situated. "South Fend is not well situated in regard to the coal supply," declared Mr. Hardy. "The coal lieldö are in the extreme southern portion of the state. ;;nd we are almost at the north state lin-. The connecting link between u is very weak. If we had a line of communication with the coal lidds like the New York Central main line, there would not be half the trouble." Coal at Familie, 111. is to be shipped to South Fend hy way of the Fi Four railroad, said Mr. Hardy. This line has not carried coal heretofore, but the present need has cauel a ch. itic m previous praetors. Ten ens are supposed to be on their way to South Fend at the prevent time. "Mate Administrator Woollen has alieady placed orders with min' oprators for ."' cars of coal." dektred Mr. Hardy, who returned Sanday from a isit t- the state administrator's oiüce. "The mines can this oder at the rate of about ti"" cars jut week, so you s. o that order's we put in now will probably ii"t be taken care of for some time." Ix'.nc. for Coal Held-. M. k Ma ley.

Registration of all male German alien enemies 14 years old und over rcaidinjf in South Bend began at 6 o'clock Monday at police headquarters under the direction of Chief of Police Kline. At an arly hour Monday morning the corrider leading to the chief's oJtice was crowded and remained crowded throughout the day with those desiring to he registered.

Ahout five minute: is taken tip with the registration of each alien. First he deliveries his paper to Capt. William Cordier who swears the registrant to the truth of the statements contained In the blanks. He is then ushered into the office of M-rgt. William Uarnhart where he is examined for peculiar or distinctive marks and where he is measured and hag his linger prints taken. There are three blanks for each registrant, and there must be three complete sets of finger prints, one for each blank, taken. The registrant also accompanies the filled out blanks by four small photographs, one to be retained at police headquarters and the remaining to bo placed on the three blanks. In isergt. Barnhart'a otiice Harry Engle and Drewer, special clerks employed for the occasion, fill out long blank sheets regarding the examination of the registrant, such is his height, weight and distinctive facial marks, the color of his hair and eyes, and other like information which is given them by Pert Olmstead who conducts this part of tho examination. Then the registrant is turned over to Sergt.. Farnhart who takes the finger prints. The registrants aro then told to return In about 10 or 15 days to receive his registratlo.i card. The chief has ordered an additional 500 consignment of blanks in order to take care of the estimated number of alien enemies in the city, which number has been placed at 1,300 by Chief Kline.

The chief of police and his assistants will remain in ' duty every day of the present week ! to receive registrants from G o'clock a. in. to S o'clock p. m. PLAN WEEK OF SONG HERE FEB. 17 TO 23 Because the week of Feb. 17 to Feb. L'S is the National Week of Song and because Feb. 22 is the birthday of the "father of our country" there will be a national song week in South Bend, probably ending with a mass meeting, including a patriotic speech and community singing. All will depend on the coal situation at that time but the plan at this time is to have a community llllHi'"! The grade schools and the high school choruses have been working on their programs for some time and they will hold daily programs in their respective classes during the week of patriotic singing. If it should be that it will be impossible to have a mass meeting on the eveni ing of Feb. 2, it is planned to have ' . music in every nome, eery garnering r.nd everywhere at S o'clock on that night, for the nation is supposed to be singing at that hour on he night of Feb. 22.

OUTLINES PLANS FOR MORE WAR GARDENS

continffd fhom paoi: onkj poses. It is important that the commission shall be organized at once, that it shall have a meeting and deie jdans. I might say that some preliminary steps in those plans are already being taken. Fruno Nehrling, who has been connected with the garden movement since its inception, is now busy making a blueprint for a garden 4 0 feet by 6i) feet long- which will be reproduced ujon probably 30,000 copies of the preliminary literature which will be circulated throughout the city. In connection with this literature there will be many helpful suggestions for intensive gardening. This literature will be of great help to both the home gardeners and vacant lot gardeners of the city. It is expected that there will be at least 20,000 enrolled gardeners in these two divisions this year. yu Do Still More. "There is still more that must he done, after we have done everything that is possible to produce food materials; we must help them in the preserving of these materials for winter use. In this connection, let me mention that the Civic federation which is affiliated In its work with the municipal recreation committee has been instrumental in bringing to the city Miss Felia C. Ogle, federal home demonstrator, who is nowengaged in going about among the homes of the city where she gives valuable instruction and demonstration in methods of preparing the food substitutes which all patriotic families are using. The work of Miss Ogle will be coordinated closely with the work of the food production department and her services will be at the call of the people. She will assist them in methods and devices for the preserving of their products." At this point in his address Mr. "Wolfe read a letter from State Food Administrator II. F. Farnard in which the food administrator highly praised the gardening work done in South Bend. The letter said that this city leads the state in this work, and pointed out the importance of the work in connection with the national food administration's food conservation plans. The speaker then continued: "Allow me now brietly to outline another plan which the Civic federation is working out in the hope of being of assistance to the people of South Bend in the matter of providing food for their tables. South Bend has no market, the business of which is chietly the handling of fish. At the December meeting of the Civic federation it was suggested by Mrs. Charles Arthur Carlisle that it would be a good thing if there could be founded a municipal fish market. The matter was discussed, pro and con. and finally a committee consisting of J. F. McClave, C. D. Dritten and F. J. Luther was appointed to investigate the matter and make a report. At the January meeting this committee reported favorably upon the project and after further discussion the committee wa relained and given power to act. Since that time the committee has leased a room at US W. Colfax a v. and is now busy installing fixtures and a stock of fish, which as I understand is expected today. They plan to have their opening tmorrow."

International News Service: WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. While American trocps are now occupying a portion of the actual battle front in France, the operations in which our troops have so far engaged have been of a minor character, Sec'y of War Baker announced today in his weekly war review. Sec'y Baker warns that while dissatisfaction is no doubt rife in Germany, and thct strikes of Increasing seriousness have occurred, Americans must not allow these reported disturbances to interfere with the effectiveness or epeed of our own preparations. Allies Still Superior. Sec'y Baker asserts that reports spread in certain quarters by the enemy that he holds a preponderant numerical superiority in the west have gained some credit. While positiv3 proof has been received that the enemy has removed troops from the eastern theater and is stripping other fronts for the coming struggle in the west, the allies are believed still to have the superiority, both in men and guns, the secretary" J?ays American pitrols have been active in No Man's Iand, says Sec'y Baker, and our scouts have made themselves familiar with the details of the enemy's position opposite them. German Attempts Aro Balked. The Germans, on Jan. 30, attempted a strongly pushed raid against the American line for the purpose of identification. The Germans, under the cover of a heavy mist, the statement continues, were able to reach the American advanced positions, but were compelled to withdraw in haste; after inflicting slight casualties. Two days later the enemy apparently attempted another thrust, but again was dispersed before any headway eoul I be made. Important Confcrvmv. "Another event of importance took place in France," the statement continues. "The inter-allied supreme, war council met at Versailles, attended by Gen. Bliss, chief of stall of the army, and Gen. Pershing, as well as th3 representatives of France. Great Britain and Italy. Complete and close cooperation between the allies and ourselves, and a harmonious understanding between the supreme commands of all of the forces engaged, promises to show positive results. Unity of purpose on all fronts will thus be attained." Hostile artillery kept up a fire during the week in the and Cambrai salients the heavy Ypreg report says, and the regions of Arras and Lens also were principal targets for German tire. Favorable atmospheric conditions resulted in many air raids. The British bombed railway centers in Flanders and undertook attacks in the. Rhine area. London, aris, Dunkirk, Calais anel Boulogne were visited by hostile aircraft. The situation in Italy is most encouraging, gays the secretary, the Italians having been successful in their plans to regain points of particular strategic importance along their battle front. In Palestine the British are puhinir steadily forward.
