Military instruction under officers

for the instruction 100 or more
able-bodied students over the age of
eighteen, beginning in September.
1918. The necessary military equip
ment will. so far as possible. be pro-
vided by the government. There will
be created a military training unit in
each institution. Enlistment will be
purely voluntary,
The enlistment will constitute the
student a member of the army of the
United States, liable to active duty at
the call of the president. 1t will. how
ever, be the policy of the government
not to call the members of the train
ing units to active duty until they have
reached the age of twenty-one, unless
urgent military necessity compels an
earlier call. Students under eighteen,
and therefore not legally eligible for
enlistment, will be encouraged to en-
roll In the training units.

COAL DEALERS RUSHED
WITH SUMMER ORDERS
Price and Warning Of Fuel
Board Bring Action by
Consumers

The thirty-cent per ton cut in the
price OF coal and the warning Of Francis
a. Lewis, chairman Of the Philadelphia
coal committee that failure TO order coal
now will cause a possible shortage next
winter, brought thousands Of orders for
next winters supply in the early mails
today.
Dealers were virtually flooded with
requests. and all morning a steady
stream OF coal wagons and trucks were
busy making deliveries in all sections Of
the city.
Coal dealers and brokers say that the
purchase of coal now will aid every
householder. About 32.OOO,O0O tons of
anthracite win have been produced and
distributed TO ultimate consumers be-
tween now and September /, when the
present price reduction is ended.
Thrift in coal supplies for the winter
is just like the old-fashioned habit of
putting away fruits and vegetables dur
ing the summer for the following win
ter's use. The dealers say the opposite
policy of the consumer last season, when
he held off in his purchase Of his sup
plies, was the underlying cause OF the
coal shortage and its attendant suffer-
ing and inconvenience. The coal indus.
try can be spurred on to a greater pro-
duction by purchases now and the needs
of the next winter can be adequately
taken care Of
1t was stated az the local fuel admin
istration that the "speeding-up" order
for unloading anthracite cars at tide
water was being carried out and the re-
suit would be an increase in the number

"SEA WOLF" AT KEITH'S
A HOWLING SUCCESS
Hobart Bosworth Presents
Sketch Adapted From
Jack London's Story

one would be pronounced pessimist
indeed, if ho didn't like the show this
week at Kehh's. There is something TO
please all tastes with a plentiful supply
Of laughs and thrills.
The most striking feature is dra-
matte sketch, "'The Sea Wolf" drama
tized by Hobart Bosworth, from Jack
London's famous story. Mr.. Bosworth
offered vivid portrayal Of the central
character, Wolf Larsen. His moods Of
wrath. varying with sarcastic tolerance,
we're true to the word picture presented
by London. The atmosphere was thor
oughly realistic; the deck and cabin of
the prowllng ocean craft were rugged
and substantial.
The little playlet, which abounds in
thrills. Eripped attention at the very
start. and MIR. Bosworth won many de-
served "curtains" at the finish. Other
characters were in very capable hands,
Ida Stanhope and Carroll Ashburn being
worthy Of special mention. Mr.. Bos-
worth deserves a special vote of thanks
for this artistic addition to vaudeville.
Following more than thousand
laughs caused by the good act which
preceded her. Ray Samuels dashed on
the stage just little before IL o'clock
and started the laughs all over again,
Her job was especially hard in view Of
the pace set by the others on the bill.
But Miss Samuels held the spot" In
good shape. retiring with many bows, a
speech--"Yes, I'm always glad to get
back to Philadelphia and" etc.
The story of how a faithful Jewish
brother is willing to sacrifice his hap
piness i'm order that his sister may be
happy is unfolded in a sketch offered
by Lee Kohlman and company. It IS
called Two Sweethearts" and is one OF
the seasons record breakers for laughs.
Kate Gilmore and Sam Williams rooted
out every laugh that was lying around
the house and started 1t working.
Moon and Morris gave a new version
of their "two-in-one" dance and their
idea Of two fake arstocrats. They in
troduce a song in this portrayal which
is worth the price Of admission alone.
A classy singing and dancing act with
many new ideas was offered by John
McGowan and company with good re-
suits. Others who appeared to advan-
tage were the Three Kanes, gymnasts
and balancers, who provided many
thrills: Prosper and Maret, college ath-
letes, and Pislet and Gushing.
The lobby Of the house is in Easter
holiday attire and almost obsCured in
banks of pretty flowers.

GHOSTS" IMPRESSIVE
AT LITTLE THEATRE
Robert Whittier and Splendid Cast
Demonstrates Vitality of
Ibsen Piece

Seldom are cerebral cells probed with
the poignancy which marked Robert
Whittlers revival of Ghosts" at the
Little Theatre last night. The perform
anco was an unalloyed intellectual de-
light, reaching commanding pinnacle
Of footlight artistry. and creating that
surprising and unexpected sense Of alb
solute freshness which distinguishes a
familiar masterpiece when superDly por-
trayed.
The time for an evaluation Of Ibsen

tuosity and vital interplay of ideas,

Der Of the Hippodrome company, In a fire
at her boarding house in West Thirty

Miss Clifton was in reality Cathleen

time.

II. Albertson, of Sc Livingston street.

the body yesterday at the undertaking
establishment Of Frank II. Campbell
The girl was quiet and unassuniing, OF
good reputation and very popular With
her associates at the Hlppodrome The
fact that during all these years she never
communicated with her parents is be-
lieved TO be due TO the fact that she had
complete loss OF memory as the re-
suit OF an illness at the time OF her
disappearance. This theory is support
ed by the fact that Miss Clifton for
several years has had a bungalow at
M0ntauk Point, L. l., while her sister,
Mrs. Joseph Remlein, has lived at Flan-
ders l.. l., only few miles away.
