Other Fraternities and Societies
Still Have Small
Supplies
SOME ORGANIZATIONS SOLVE
PROBLEM BY USE OF WOOD
Cars Expected From Toledo and Port
huron Fail To Arrive
On Time
(By Chas. R. Osius, Jr.)
Five fraternities and two sororities'
have practically exhausted their coal
supply and are unable to secure more,
according to statements made by their
stewards yesterday. Several others
have only enough to last for a week or
10 days and can see no way of getting
more. A comparative few have a sea-
son's supply.
Some Houses Use Wood
A few of the houses have solved
the fuel problem temporarily by using
wood, regardless of the resulting in-
convenience. Most organizations re-
ly upon the dealers to supply them
and- the city's shortage has entirely
cut off their source. Plenty of wood
is available and immediate delivery
can be secured, so the houses struck
by the famine have resored to using'
wood instead of coal. The houses
which lack fuel are: Zeta Psi, Phi
Gamma Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha Epsi-
pha Tau Omega, Sigma Alpha, Epsi-
lon, Chi Omega, and Alpha Epsilon
Iota.
Few Have Seaspn's Supply
A comparative few of the houses
who have a large storage capacity
have the season's supply in their bins
and so are unaffected by the shortage,
but they are in the minority. Those-
whose supply is fair at present will
be unable to replenish their stock
when exhausted unless some large
shipments are received soon. Somel
houses are getting their coal in' half-
ton lots and are running pretty close
to the bottoms of their bins. Two are
being supplied by the police depart-
ment.
Dormitories Unaffected
The two dormitories, Martha Cook'
and Newberry, are unaffected by the
famine because they are heated by!
the University's power and heatingt
plant. They may feel the shortage if
the University is unable to secure ad-
ditioial fuel when its present limited
supply has run out. Conservation is
being enforced in all campus build-1
ings

by Secretary Bak3r

Major Starrett described the work-
ings of the different organizations of
the government, and explained the
three immense tasks before the can-
tonment division of the United States
army. A series of illustrated slides
were shown of the building of Camp
Ayer, Mass. Two reels of motion pic-
tures were flashed on the screen after
the slides, which showed in detail pro-
blems met in erecting Camp Ayer,
Mass., and Camp Dix, Wrightstown,
N. J.
Erect Terminals
"The cantonment division is now
considering some of the largest pro-
blems of the government," sta. ,d
Major Starrett last night. "The stor-
age and terminal problem deals with
the erection of six vast terminals cov-
ering 400 acres of land. Three of
these terminals will be accumulation
depots which will be situated through-
out the country. All of the buildings
will be of a permanent nature.
"It is my personal opinion concern-
ing the taking over of the railroads
that the govtrnment will put the term-
inals in shape. The whole trouble lies
at the terminals, and when the new
ones are built they will be an asset to
the government when the war ends.
Build Cities
"Another problem to be considered
by this division is the industrial hous-
ing program. At the present time
there is no place for the men who are
employed at the different ship build-
ing plants to live, and housing will
have to be built for 15,000 people at
Bridgeport. At Hog Island a city of
125,000 will be built out of the
swamps. This will enhance the mar-
itime and economical status of the
government after the war."
"When the cantonment division was
making plans for the different camps,"
Major Starrett explained as the slides

Peace Between Bolslieviki and liuns

Report
SWISS DISPATCH SAYS RUSSIA
SIGNS PEACE WITH BULGARIA
Russians Reject Terms Proposed by
Turks; Cossacks Continue to
Fight Radicals
(War Summary as Prepared by The
Associated Press)
Jan. 10.-On the fighting fronts the
infantry is inactive except for small
raiding operations, but the artillery
duels continue Intensely on various
sectors. In northern Italy snow has
fallen to a depth of from three to five
feet bringing the operations to a halt.
The movement of supplies to the en-
emy army in the hills is being greatly
impeded and the indications at pre-
sent are that fighting of great intensi-
ty will be impossible while the snow
lies on the ground.
Bolsheviki Not Talking Peace
Unofficial dispatches dealing with
the deliberations between the Bolshe-
viki and the Teutonic allies indicate
that for the present peace is not being
discussed, but that the proposition of
the Bolsheviki to change the scene
of the negotiations to Stockholm is
the paramount issue.
Bulgaria Signs Peace?
A dispatch eminating from Switzer-
land asserts that Bulgaria and Russia
have signed a separate peace compact,
but that the Russians have rejected
separate peace terms on the proposals
offered by Turkey. Meanwhile fight-
ing continues in. central and south-
western Russia between the Boshe-
viki forces and revolutionary Cos-
sacks.

City Conditions Unchanged
Conditions in the city remain the
same as they were Wednesday, accord-
ing to Acting Chief of Police Thomas
O'Brien. No more coal has been re-
ceived and the number of daily appli-
cations is about the same. The people
are managing to keep warm, accord-
ing to all indications, and there will
be no suffering unless matters become
much more critical. The poor are be-
ing supplied by the police. The cars,
expected from Toledo and Port Huron
have not arrived to date but it is
hoped they will be delivered before
the end of the week.
Factory Supply Satisfactory
Factories are able to keep running
by almost daily deliveries, although
several of them have secured carload.
lots. The supply of the Parker Manu-
facturing company is still low, but
other plants seem to be in fair condi-
tion. No fear has been expressed that
any of them will close unless condi-
tions grow worse.
People in all parts of the city, re-
gardless of their supply, are urged to
make every effort at conservation. If
the supply grows less, those having
coal will probably be asked to share
it with people having none. It is a
patriotic move to save every lump of
coal. Sifting of ashes will help con-
serve.

Washington, Jan. 10.-:The gold
monetary stock (coin and bullion used

Nov. 1, 1917, is estimated in Secretary
McAdoo's annual report at $3,041,500,-

In order to reimburse itself to the
extent of the $1,000 given to the Amer-
ican University Union in Paris, the
Michigan Union has decided to give
same sort of festival in the nature of
a county fair, provided the committee
on student affairs sanctions the plan.
If the affair is held, it will take place
at the end of the first week of the sec-
ond semester.
The decision was reached yesterday
at the meeting of the board of direct-
ors of the Union.
Several Union members who have
permitted non-members to use their
membership cards for the purpose of
procuring dance tickets were given
warning that a repitition of such act-
ion would result in expulsion.
The appointment committee was au-
thorized to choose a committee to
nominate a successor to Waldo Mc-
Kee, ex-'18E, former engineering vice-
president of the Union. McKee is now
in the third officers' training camp at
Camp Custer.
The financial statement of the Un-
ion was read and discussed, and the
president was authorized to appoint
a committee to revise the section of
the house rules concerning guests.
Sleeper Appoints Preparedness Boards
Lansing, Jan. 1Q.-With the appoint-
ment by Governor Sleeper today of
county war preparedness boards for
every county of Michigan the first
steps were taken to co-ordinate and
combine all Michigan's civilian war
activities.
The governor's order will bring un-
der the general direction of the state
every civilian activity now backing the
boys in the camps and trenches. It
makes permanent for the duration of
the war all organized bodies support-
ing the military forces of the United
States.
The governor's appointments for
Washtenaw county are: George W.
Millen and Frederick W. Stevens, of
Ann Arbor, and William B. Hatch, of
Ypsilanti.
