THE MICHIGAN DAILY ESERYVICE r,;;:. ' _ ..... .:.. '' _ -y. _ ",t- r ° f3,' t t ' i I, ; N : ' 1 Y ° . _ ,: - ---- ENT REQUISITION' 'ER WIRE GIVEN AS CAUSE OF A%. . A ,, .. No more telephones for new sub- scribers is the edict issued by Post- master-General Burleson. This order, known officially as post office order 1, 931, forbids the installation of any new phones either in residences or business houses. Government requisition of the en- tire output of twisted pair copper clad wire, which is the drop wire used exclusively In connecting cable boxes to the telephones, is given as the cause. This wire is used extensively in France to keep the rapidly advanc- ing front line in touch with head- quarters. At present the government order al- lows only three exceptions. First, telephones may be placed in a house or a building if it is already wired; second, new phones may be installed in buildings used by government em- ployees; third, doctors, dentists, and nurses may be given new service. Postmaster-General Burleson's or- der is primarily for the purpose of conserving labor. In accordance with this purpose no other kinds of wire will be employed in place of the cop- per-clad wire. Even though iron wire could be utilized, the necessity for uniform equipment throughout the country will eliminate its use. The Michigan State telphone com- pany of Ann Arbor, has been hard hit because of the scarcity of operators and linemen. Nevertheless, the com- pany has continued to perfect and ex- tend its cables and equipment. Its switch boards, installed just last year, cen accommodate all the after-the-war business which will arise when the ban on the phones will be lifted. Untilf then, the. company says that war ser- vice must supersede private service. FOOTBALL COACH DESCRIBES E DAYS OF CHASING OCHE Davenport, Ia., Oct. 5.-Description of his experiences in one of the recent offensives on'the western battle front in which American divisions distin- guished themselves is contained in a letter received -from George W. Jones, former football coach at St. Ambrose' college and now a second lieutenant with the 102nd Field Artillery, A. E. F. Prior to the war Lieut. Jones had a reputation among smal college foot- ball coaches as the originator of open football tactics of a novel nature, both with regard to offense and attack. He was one of the first mentors to adopt the forward pass. In his letter Lieut. Jones said: "This is a corking division and did wonderful work in the big drive. I got up just in time totsee the end of i. I passed through the villages you have been reading about and in some of them not a single house has es- caped shell fire. The Germans had evacuated only a day or two before and all sorts of material lay about with numberless dead heroes and some unburied Boches. "I had a wonderful view of the bat- tle one night. Seated on a high irdge at the edge of a wood one could look across the valley and see flashes and hear the rumbling of the cannon while their shells whined over head. Every- thing was brilliantly lighted by flares and rockets. It was like having a grandstand seat and having the battle staged for your particular benefit. "This division has been in for six] months and only a few days ago we got a relief. Coming back here to our billets was not summer stroll, for travel had to be by night on jammed roads in mud and incessant rain. Everybody was worn out and many of the horses had to be cut loose and shot or left by the road side in the hope that a few hours rest would put them on their feet again. Chasing the Bosche has been a trying experience for both men and beasts. It was work, night and day, and the wonder is that they stood it so well. A few days of rest here has worked- wonders, but our armies need a little more rest be- fore returning to active service. The .

The ar- tillery has been doing brilliant work and the doughboys are fighting fools. I am mighty glad I was sent from the rear where I was detailed for so long because being back there is like be- ing on the sidelines in uniform at a football game. Of course, someone must stand on the sidelines but it is lot more consoling to be in the game." Jrichigan Technic flay ie Su sp*ended War is effecting the Michigan Tech- nic, the engineering college publica- tion to such an extent that it is prob- able that the paper will suspend pub- lication. An issue is being prepared for this month, however, and if enough interest is shown by students in putting out the paper, it may con- tinue throughout the year. William Babbitt, '19E, the managing editor, will do all in his power to as- sure the continued publication, but for the present he is engaged in getting out an issue to appear the end of the month. The scarcity of men is ac- credited to the fact that almost all of the men in the engineering college are in the S. A. T. C. GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHES FIXED PRICES FOR SHOES' Washington, Oct. 3. - Better shoes for less money will be obtainable through an agreement between the War Industries Board and the shoe in- dustry which establishes three fixed price groups for shoes. Shoes will be standardized as to quality and style at prices ranging from $3 to $12 for men and women, grouped as follows: Class A, from $9 to $12; Class B, $6 to $8.50, and Class C. $3 to $5.50. Cutting of shoes under the new scale will begin Oct. 15. First deliv- eries will be made from 30 to 60 days' later. Present stocks may be sold at prevailing prices, but the agreed price on the new shoes will be maintained through inspection by state councils of, defense and other government agen- cies. Retailers will be required to sign a pledge and to display the new price scale. Failure to do so will result in supplies being cut off.

I tl B-A-VOLUNTEER sa A report which circulated around the campus this morning that five S. A. T. C. men spent last night in the guard house has been found untrue. The guard house which started in Ann Arbor on June 15 has seen very limited service. At no time but once has the guard house held more than three men. The occasion for the ex- ceptional ease was found in a little poker game. At this time sevral men were sentenced to the guard house for some time. There has been a popular impres- sion that any one assigned to kitchen police duty was there because of some misdemeanor. This idea should be erased as soon as possible from the minds of everyone. Each and every man is required to spend some time at this particular duty. Kitchen po- lice is only considered a punishment when performed for an extended pe- riod of +time. GERMANS GET SOME BOMBS VIA THE AIR FROM ALLIES London, Oct. 3.- The British air ministry issues the story of a neutral, returned from Germany with informa- tion of the effects of British air raids over the Rhine provinces, particularly on Frankfort. The central part of the Frankfort Main station was so damaged by bombs trains have not- been able to enter and are operated from hastily con- structed platforms. Frankfort is in a state of nervous excitement. At the least warning people retire to cellars. As to the normal effect, the neutral says he heard nothing but the most de- pressing talk of present conditions in Germany and the prospects of further attacks from the air.

Sorority Rushing Rules Strict Inter-Sorority rules governing rushing are rigid this year with a view to food conservation. The num- ber of dinners is limited to five and luncheons to four. Conservation of sugar, nuts and candy is urged. At evening festivities only fresh fruit may be served. The number of girls is less this year but more upper classmen are entering the University.

The commission- ers and engineers are busy getting the roads fixed up before the snow falls. Rumors Unfounded There were some rumors that the government would stop the construc- tion of roads for the present, but they are unfounded. Chief interest is manifested in the Detroit-Ypsilanti road, which is pro- gressing rapidly. When finished, it will be almost three miles in length, of solid concrete,'18 feet wide, and in a road-bed 24 feet wide. It is ex- pected the road will be completed this season. In addition to this the county is building two miles of road west of Ann Arbor following the car line along what is know as the Territorial road. This road is to be based with cement and have a top coating of asphalt. It also is to be 18 feet wide in a 24 foot road-bed. If all goes well it will be finished in about six weeks. 16 Miles of Road Built} About 16 miles of gravel road is being laid in different sections about the county. Two miles of the Dexter road is now completed, and the one mile along Whitmore lake is nearly so. Also two .of the five-mile Pontiac road are nearing completion, two miles on the Salem, three on the Packard, and two on the Chicago road are part- ly finished. It is not likely that more roads will be started this year, as the commis- sioners are finding it difficult to get teams and men. Most of the work has been done on contract, the chief contractors being: Renick and Smith, of Finley, on Pon- tiac road; W. B. Chalmers, on Grand Rapids, on Jackson avenue road; Ottis Cement Construction company, of De- troit, on the Michigan avenue road, and Johnson and company on the Whitmore Lake road.
