a story of the war with a romantic
love story running throughout. There
are no war scenes but only allusions
to the great struggle and to the at-
tempts of an envoy of Germany to
annex, as an ally, the kingdom of
Belmark, supposedly a buffer state be-

MOVIE CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN
TO BE STARTED IN ANN ARBOR
Represented in Ann Arbor by the
Women's league, the Ann Arbor Wo-
man's club, and the Association of
Collegiate Alumnae, the Michigan
Federation of Women's Clubs is car-
rying on a campaign for the suppres-
sion of improper and immoral motion
picture plays in this state.
Every movie in this city and in the
state will be visited during every per-!
formance this week, and a general re-
port will be made.
The questionnaire which must be
filled out by every inspector conducts,
an investigation into matters of heat-
ing, lighting and ventilation, as well
as a criticism of the play itself from'
a moral point of view
POST OFFICE REPORT SHOWS
INCREASED SALES FOR- 1917
throughout the city.
Eight cars of coal arrived in Ann
Arbor this morning and were shared
by local coal dealers. All of the fifty,
tons of coal that had ben loaned to
the city Saturday by the University
at the request of .Fuel Administrator
Junius E. Beal were sold by the police
department yesterday noon. Fuel Ad-
ministrator Beal is expecting shortly
six cars of coal that have been held
up in Ohio and the dealers in this
city are awaiting daily shipments.
After having closed down for a
week, the schools throughout the city
resumed classes yesterday morning
Due to the shortage of coal, the school
board deemed it advisable to close the
schools last week instead of during
the Easter vacation period in April.
Although the University has alto-
gether loaned the city about 700 tons
of coal from their bunkers, there is
no likelihood that the University will
have to close down because of an in-
sufficiency of coal on its own part, a.c-
cording to E. C. Pardon, Supt. of
Buildings and Grounds. N
"With moderate weather, such as
we are having now," said Mr. Pardon
yesterday, "the University will be able
to get along for three months. Oth-
erwise the coal we have on hand will
only last half that time."
! During the cold weather, the Uni-
versity has been burning 4,000 tons of
coal monthly to heat the campus
buildings, the University hospital, the
botanical gardens and 15 of the
nurses' homes. The efforts of Presi-
dent Hutchins and Xr. Pardon to save
the University's coal by keeping build-
bings on the campus closed wherever
possible has resulted in a daily saving
of 15 to 20 tons of coal. On Sundays,
the saving ranges from 15 to 25 tons.

Hart's Best Picture
Max Rosen, violinist, will appear on
Friday night in Hill Auditorium, int
the last of the pre-festival concerts.
Max Rosen made his debut in Newk
York on Jan. 12 under the auspicest
of Stransky with the philharmonic
orchestra and was instantly engaged
by that organization for four concerts9
this year. New York is more thanI
lavish in its praise of the new artiste
who, while only 17 years old, has al-c
ready created a sensation in the mu-t
sical world.I
Rosen is a product of New York's{
east side. As a small boy he displayedr
remarkable talent, playing difficult1
airs on an old violin which he found
in his neighborhood. He finally at-i
tracted the attention of de Coppet, the1
famcus art patron of New York, who'
was instrumental in sending him to!
Europe where he studied under thei
famous violin teacher, Leopold Auer.i
When the war broke out Max Rosen
followed his teacher to Christiana,
Norway, there continuing his educa-
tion until the present winter. Reports
have reached this country from time
to time relating his wonderful pro-
gress but press notices prove that the
artistic world was taken by storm
when he appeared in person.
Friday night's concert will mark the
first appearance of Max Rosen outside
of New York. Israel Joseph will pre-
side at the piano. The program is as
follows:
I. Chaconne, Tomaso 'Vitali (1650)-?
II. Symphonie Espagnole. . .Ed. Lalo
Allegro Non troppo
Andante
Rondo
III. (a) Romanze; F major......

(b). Chorus of Dervishes (from

(c) Turkish March ...........

IV. Alte Weise....Christian Sinding

The Varsity Glee club met last night
for its first rehearsal of the second
semester. Finishing touches for the
first 1917-8 concert were given thek
club's reditiosis, and the organization
is now rounded into final fitness for its
appearance on the 20th.
Rehearsals are being held to keep
the men familiar with the words of the
songs, but all refining of technique
has been accomplished. The club is in
better form for its concert this year
than it has been for many years past,
owing to the extra amount of time
devoted to training the men. Was has
added to the quality of the personnel
rather than detracting from it. The
enrollment in the Glee and Mandolin
clubs combined numbers between 80
and 90. A considerable nucleus of this
list is composed of men who were in
the clubs last year. Quite an amount
of excellent talent was secured from
last year's All-fresh Glee club, and
several men have come from other
universities. Robert R. Dieterle, '21M,
is leader of the Glee club, and Mr.
Theodore Harrison of the University
School of Music is director. Dieterle
is an Ann Arbor boy and is well known
in local music circles. Mr. Harrison's
talent is recognized throughout the
state.
Approximately 500 tickets for the
concert have been ordered by the con-
vention of state grocers which will
be held in Ann Arbor during the con-
cert week. The reputation of the clubs
in Michigan caused the merchants
from other cities to wish to hear the
program next Wednesday. Tickets
will be on sale on the campus begin-
ning Thursday of this week. The ad-
mission is 35 cents, including the war
tax. Another rehearsal of the Glee
club will be held Thursday night at
the School of Music, and the Mandolin
club will mnet the same evening at the
Union.

insurance, according to a letter re-
cently received by General Parker
from the war risk insurance bureau.
"We have sold insurance to practic-
ally every man in the division," said
Captain Pounds. "There are less than
200 who are unprotected in this way
and by tomorrow, the last day for
those who were herein October, there
will be few left.
"We found that a number of patients
in the base hospital were uninsured,"
continued the captain, "and we are
doing something that no other insur-
ance company in the world would do-
canvassing the wards of the institu-
tion for insurance prospects and with
good results. We are urging inmates
of all wards, contagious and otherwise,
to take out protection for themselves
and families."
