FUEL SITUATION STILL BRIGHTER Hardy Rescinds Dance Hall Order School Supply May Hold Out. Warmer weather, the arrival of six more cats of soft coal, and eaouras'lm,' reports from I' vans WoolIt n. state fuel administrator, to the effect that 17 more cars were on til way. put South ib-nl mote at ease Thursday morning in regard to the coal situation. The order closing dance halls, is-ued some time ao by R. P. Hardy, county fuel adminstrator. has been rescirded. In explaining the ran- . ellation f th order, Mr. Hardy said: "The warmer weather will make it pos-ible for dance halls and lodsre rooms t 1j" o; en with the use of very littb- extra fuel, and the apprachin.r L'.-nt-!! sea--on. which is -:dy a few weeks away, will put a stop to many dances, so it was thought best to let folks dance if they wanted to. for a little while before that time." More than 20 cars of coal have been released by the Stephenson Fnderwear Mills during the past month, it was reported Thursday. The coal was not sold at a profit, and was, on the other hand, relinquished in the face of the fact that government contracts, held by the mills, miu'ht be delaved through a tie-up in the mines or on the railroads. S liools to Get Through. Thai unless extremely severe weither sei; in. or unless rail tieups make the local coal t-jpubue very acute, the ciy schools will be able to get through the term without closin-,', was, the statement of J. F. Nuner, superintendent of city schools, Thursday. "We have quite, a larjpj quantity (if coal," he said, "but of course the veiy cold weather made it necessary o use more than we intended. Then, too, the fact that Fome of the school supplies have been sold to needy families has shortened the amount. but I believe we will he able to get well into March on what we have, and by that time, probably, we will he able to buy more coal, since the shortage will have been relieved." Soft coal and slack are th" only fuels available. No hard coal has come into the city for some time. This has caus-"d trouble, since many stoves are built only for use with hard coal. Reports of hoarding are persistent, hut those reporting, according to Mr. Hardy, refuse to do their duty as patriotic citizens. "People call up, savin e; that the family next to them has received more coal than they ;ire entitled to. When w'e ask for names or addresses, the persons calling will not give them, fearing to g,et their own names into the affair. With only such hints, -without even locations specified, it is of course, impossible to even attempt an investigation," he declared. MISTAKES WITNESSES FOR CITY PRISONERS leputy Pros. Samuel Schwartz viewed the court sheet in city court Thursday morning with suspicion. The same view of the docket, which contains the names of the prisoners up for trial, was taken by Judge Gilmer. There were only four cases to be tried. The judue cast his eye over the row of seats reserved f4r prisoners, when they are not occupied by 12 jurors. Ji'vpiy .-eat was lille4l. and only lour cases on the docket. "Mr. Cutting," the judge said, "will yon pleas' instruct the sergeant to put the names of the rest of these prisoners on the court sheet." "Why, your honor." spoke up one of the attorneys present, "these gentlemen are my witnesses. They should not bo hooked." Whereupon Pros-. Schwartz called Fie first case. "Camiel Smith, stand up." he said. "Von are charged with intoxication." s.id the j-idu' to Smith. "Guilty or not guilty?" he asked. "Guilty, your honor." said Smith. "Well. oi were in prettj- had shape when they brought you' in last nicht, and I think that about 11 days in the county jail will do you good, so I 'A ill ii!i you 1 and costs." said the judj.'. "You now star.d committed to the county jail until the line is paid or replevied." ended the judge. "Can I pay the tine now." akel the prisoner as he drew a huee roll of bills from his pocket, that belied his appearance. "I suppose so." answered the j-.id-'e.

BRITISH ADMIRALTY'S REPORT GIVES HOPES FOR LESSER LOSSES

CONTINTHD FROM PAGi: O.VKl r-.ci'd aaint the American transports in an effort to prevent the American troops g tting to France iti time for taking an active part In tne spring drive. . Gratifietl t .uniTers Sacil. It had been accepted that trannnrts would be attacked but there wa.s a strong hope entertained thit the protection plans of the navy department would, checkmate the German, llorts. And. while there was the depet regret over the apparent loss of life in this latest sinking of a transport, otllcials here pointed out that the large numb?r of saved was an eloquent tribute n the effective measures that had been planned to meet such attacks. Until the complete story of the attack reaches Washington oflk aks iid not c:re to comment on the (tricacy of the convoy. It was accepted, of course, that the navy had done its full rart and that the Germans haJ managed, to get a tranepert was accepted simply as one of the fortunes of war. Already Sec'y Baker has let it ho known the Friiteil States has transferred overseas more troops than Canada has sent during the entire war perioc' and it can hardlj' be expected that the enormous volume f shipping row on the seas can ke?P making the. trips with perfect immunitj'. sorrow Over Ijos of Iafc. Deepest sorrow everywhere was expressed over the loss of life. It was remarked that it was a national ruard outfit which had suffered the hrst big Mow for the army on the sea. To Michigan and Wisconsin will go that place in history. The news came to Washington as a severe shock. No intimation of disaster was allowed to become known until about lo o'clock last night when Sec'y of War Raker was hurriedly summoned to the department. A few minutes later George Creel, head of the bureau of public information reached his othce and then announcement was made to the newspapers that the first loaded transport had been sunk in th'j Atlantic. The early new was mo5t alarming as it placed the number of missing at more than 1,000. It caused a chill of horror everywhere. Soldiers are expected to he killed in action but to be drowned like rats in a trap in a sinking transport is a much sadder fate. A short time later, however, the news was rectiveo that other survivors had been landed at another Irish port mil thus buoyed the hope that the loss of life would be comparatively small. Pres't Wilson was in the theater when the news of the disaster reached Washington. Xo word of the tragedy was allowed to reach the president although before he left it was likely that his party was the only one that had not received at least an inkling of the sad news. The secret service guard saw to it that no one was allowed to ap- ; roach the president and it was not until the return to the white house that he learned of the loss of the Tuscania. As the president passed through the crowd en route to his waiting automobile he was cheered with a patriotic fervor that seemed even to amaze him. The waiting men find women were cheering their tribute to the brave men who had lost their lives in the wintry waters of the Atlantic ocean. There was another demonstration of a similar sort In the National Tress club where Maj. Frederick Palmer, chief censor for Gen. Pershing and now in this country explaining the manner in which the Fnited States have entered the war was speaking. Palmer was handed a slip of raper with the story of the disaster as he ended his talk, lie read it and then said: "Gentlemen, this is bad news, very bad news." He then read the war department's first announcement. "Rut." he resumed with flashing eyes, "there is a rea! American army in France tonight. The deaths of these boys of ours will oe avenged n hundred times over." These two incidents accurately describe how the rational capital received the dread word. It was in order to allay the up. prehensi in of the entire country that the war department early today made public the identity of the units that wre on board the Tasconia. It was a military secret of course, and in making it public the United States government kept its word that it would deal frankly with the people regarding disasters. Other countries have kept all such information from their public but Sec'y of War Raker and his advisers decided that to follow this example would inflict unnecessary misery on many who knew their loe(l ones had been ordered overseas. o;!ieia!s said today that the sinkingof the Tuscania was another endorsement of their demand that none but high speed transports be sent through the danger zone. Al though nominally an lS-knot vessel the former Cunurder could make undr present rating not to exceed 1" knots. This may have made her a sluing mark for the undersoas: a c j -.-v- j rj . There was little information forthcoming as to the number or the fate of th crew 4f the Tuseanbt. It was resumed That part of them had ben saved but there was n direct word to that effect. The stale department has caked on Ambassador P. ige to send at onro a complete report which will supplement tue reports from th commander of the troops on the transport and those of Vice A'lmiral Sims. The embassy at Rorulon has on the scene of the disaster its own representatives while the American Re. I. Cross directed by cable as scon as it heard of the loss of the transport that nil of the wants of the rescued be met regardless of cost. It is assumed here that as s- on as the troops have had their wants attended to they will proceed to their

original destination and go right ahead with their training. ne effett whicn the sinklcg of the transport ran b expected to have will be to end a great deal of open criticism of the administration whicti has resulted in tlu becoming pu'alic of much informat.on that must of necessity have been of aid to the enemy. In this category today was placed the announcement by Se'y Raker that one and one-half million men would be In France during thy coming year. It has emphasized, officials declared today, the necessity of keeping entirely secret all plans of a military nature. Ofhcials everywhere were anticipating that one immediate result of the disaster would be a rush to enlist of men beyond the draft agv who have been holding back.

THURSDAY, FEB. 14 IS DATE SET FOR "FATHER AND SON" BANQUET "Father and Son" week, which will be observed here during the week of Feb. 11, is not a new movement, having been inaugurated in Cleveland, O.. in December, 191 3. I-ast month 12". "Father and Son'' dinners were held in Cleveland. Mayors of many cities throughout the United States have issued proclamations on the observance of "Father and Son" week since that time. The idea of the movement is to bring; fathers and sons into closer communion, since every hoy has an ideal in some man, and the logical man should be the boy's father. Y. M. C. A. organizations and the churches of the nation have worked together in the development of the movement, and Gov. Goodrich has issued a proclamation endorsing the week in Indiana this year. The local "Father and Son"' banquet, which has been an annual event for a number of years, will be held Thursday evening, Feb. 14. MEET TO START BIG WAR-SAVING DRIVE More than 300 people gathered in the Rotary room of the Oliver hotel Thursday noon to hear various speakers on the subject of "War Savings." The meeting: was the opening of a big drive for stamp sales to be made in South Rend. Committees were appointed 'o handle the various branches of the work, and organizations were completed for the establishing of sales stations. ARGENTINE GRAIN HELD UP BY RAIL STRIKES I.UENOS AIRES, Feb. 7 Although the government has lifted, the ban upon the exportation of the j harvested wheat to the allies, trans- ; portation of grain to the coast is se riously affected today by railway strikes. The strikers today served an ultimatum, containing about -0 demands upon the Central Argentine and Central Cordoba systems, but j the companies have informed the men that they cannot discuss the demands. The ultimatum is timed to expire tomorrow evening. The bulk of the output of the wheat belt is carried over the lines of the two railway systems mentioned above. BAKER URGES PERSHING TO CONSERVE FOOD WASHINGTON. Feb. 7. Food conservation by the American forces in France was suggested to Gen. Pershing Wednesday by Sec'y Baker. The American commander was asked to consider regulations governing the purchase of foods by foldiers from post exchanges and from the French ppfple and to take up the subject o2 avoiding food wastes at the table. The if retary's cablegram, given out by the food administration, reads: "The importance of the conservation of food and the desirability of avoiding waste amonjc our military forces and the ever-increasing difliculty of supplying food products to our allies, as well as to our military forces and civilian population suggests the advisability of propaganda among your forces in the matter of food conservation. Action looking- to similar results has been taken up in division camps, cantonments ünd war prison camps in the United States. "The idea suggests itself of issuing instructions to your command looking not only to the avoidance of wa.-:e in messes, but als to a possible regulation of the sale of foodstuffs in post exchanges. Y. M. C. A.'s, Knights of Columbus, etc.; also the advisability of attempting; to regulate the purchase by American soltMer. of foodstuffs from the French people. Complaints have been made that the French people in selling food products to American soldiers are charging exhorhitunt prices and thereby increasing the cost of living for the French people. This causes the unnecessary consumption by American soldi-rs of considerable cuantities fooa. This, it is believed, ud.js rnnc-ces-sar"y to the burden of the French food prtblem. Your recommend;:.tions in this matte- are re,ueStel." 1K)AUI Din'KKS ACTION.
