made arrangements to have all un-
necessary lights turned out perma-
nently.
Window Lights Extinguished
Window lights are no longer being
used by the majority of merchants,
and any waste of fuel or lights is be-
ing guarded against by all of the
stores. The streets present an un-
usually dark appearance with the dim
street lights and the stores in dark-
ness. Thursday night was the first
on which the order was in effect and
every merchant on Main and State
streets had his store in darkness.
The theaters even switched off their
outdoor illuminations and electric
signs are nowhere in evidence.
Hours Selected
Hours selected by the merchants
agree in most cases. The majority
of stores will be open from 8 to 5 o'-
clock daily. This decision was rech-.
ed at a meeting of the merchants' as-
sociation yesterday afternoon. Down-
town drug stores will be open from 9
to 6 and State street drug stores from
11 to 8. Lights are being cut down
in accordance'with an agreement of all
druggists. Only the necessary lamps
are kept burning. Hours chosen are
announced in the times to which each
section of 'the city is accustomed.
Campus stores will run on eastern
time and downtown stores on central.
The College inn has chosen the fol-
lowing hours: 7:30 to 9, 11 to 1, 5:15
to 7:30, and 9:45 to 1.
Boarding Houses Not Affected
Campus boarding houses are not
seriously affected because of the new
order allowing them to remain open
for the three daily meals. One res-
taurant, the Arcadia, has found it nec-
essary to discontinue serving break-
fasts because of the fuel shortage. The
State street lunch closed its doors per-
manently last night for the same rea-
son. The gas being used is not relia-
ble and coal cannot be obtained, so
restaurant men are finding it difficult
to keep running. Chubb's, Cutting's,
Freeman's, and others will not be af-
fected, according to statements made
yesterday by their managers.
Pollee Lack Coal
The police department has no coal
to distribute to homes. The carload
received Thursday was sold by noon
of the same day and no additional
amount arrived yesterday. Two car-
loads arrived for local dealers 'but
none consigned to the fuel adminis-
tration. Administrator Junius E. Beal
was advised yesterday that three cars
consigned to Michigan were frozen in
a drift near Toledo and locomotive
were unable to move them. No other
information was received, however. It
was reported yesterday that more thon
125 empty cars are snowbound on sid-
ings between Chicago and this city.
Reports from Washington advise to
conserve Inasmuch as the railroads
are unable to reach many snowbound
coal mines and it is not known when
conditiois will be bettered. Every
piece of coal must be saved, according
to the statement of the federal fuel
administrator.

UNIVERSITY ESTABLISHED BY
CANADIAN TROOPS IN FRANCE
Located Behind Firing Line; Curricu.
ium To Embrace Large Num-
ber of Subjects
Canadian Headquartrs in France,
Jan. .18.-A Canadian glivision has es-
tablished a university behind the fir-
ing line. This will hold its classes
in such places as brigade divisional
schools and Y. M. C. A. huts..
It has among its senate and staff
.aen of recognized academic standing
throughout the Dominion. There will
be lectures on subjects selected to
equip men on active service for "great-
er efficiency in business, the profes-
sions, agriculture, and other great in-
dustries of the Dominion." The mode
of operation is threefold, including:
Lectures to large groups, dealing
with civic and imperial topics looking
forward to duties and opportunities of
the future.
Classes for smaller groups, taught
by experienced teachers in each unit
throughout the division.
Private instruction for more ad-
vanced students, with recognition and
credit on their return to Canada for
work accomplished.
Another aim of the university is to
have prepared during the period of
mobilization an organization and staff
devoting its. attention to education of
the soldiers during the interval that
may elapse between the conclusion of
peace and the return to Canada. The
subjects taught will include: Agri-
culture, applied science, business,
theology, literature, philosophy, lan-
guage, vocational training, history,
elementary instruction, and economics.

New York, Jan. 18.-Le Courrier des
Etats-Unis publishes this cable from-
Paris:
George Lecomte, president of the
society of men of letters, has or-
iginated the idea that a French fam-
ily adopt an American soldier during
the entire duration of the war. A
lawyer will adopt the son of a law-
yer, a business man the son of a
business man, and so on.
M. Lecomte's idea will be put into
practice immediately by the Idee
Francaise a l'Etranger, of which M.
Georges Leygue is president. -This
national association, acting with its
promotor, has taken steps to. put the
project into execution as quickly as
possible. The choice of hosts and
guests will be made in conjunctio'i
with the United States military au-
thorities.
ARRESTED FOR TURNING
HOSE ON "KAISER"1
Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Jan. 18.
--More than 7,000 tons of coal are now
in the bunkers and reserve piles, and
25,000 tons in addition are on the way,
according to a statement issued today.
This is perhaps the largest coal pile
in Michigan outside of the supply at
the University of Michigan.
"Let the people know," declared
General Parker, "that in this respect
the camp is well cared for. They have
been told in the past that them'e was
not sufficient or proper clothing, and
they have been told that we lacked
shoes and rubbers. In view of these
circumstances, and of the present
shortage of coal, the public will natur-
ally wonder whether the men are be-
ing kept warm."
The camp will hold its first "home
talent" vaudeville show on Feb. 1 and
2. Ten acts, all furnished by soldiers,
will make up the bill. Out of the im-
mense amount of musical talent, the
camp is to develop a 25-piece orches-
tra. John B. Archer, director of com-
munity singing, will supervise the re-
hearsals.
