guarantee to Northwestern and trans

the refusal of the Red Cross to deal

that the $4,000 guarantee for a game
in Lincoln be cut in half According

AMERICAN PRESS HEADQUAR-
TIERS. BRITISH FRONT (By Mail)
The fall of Cambria was celebrated
in that Little Paris" today by proxy.
The inhabitants had all been evacu-
ated a month ago, leaving only a
priest who managed to linger and bear
witness Of German pillage and de-
struction.
The celebration of the recovery of
the city, which has been a most i'm
portant buttress of enemy strength in
France since August, 1914, was by
Tommies and correspondents of
French, British and American papers.
Pianos moved out of houses by Royal
Engineers searching for explosive
traps tinkled all over town. A French
correspondent played God Save the
King" on a tiny German piano in the
center of the Grand Place. A block
away in the Place Fenelon a British
officer returned the compliment by
playing the "Marseillaise" and Bri-
fishers around him sang the words
in French.
There was no German firing on the
city during the day but we encoun-
tered a feeble amount of shrapnel in
the outskirts. Fires which the enemy
started had Quilted choice parts of the
center of the city, but these were
quickly confined by the British engi-
neers.
Speaking generally, Cambria is by
far the least damaged Of any of the
large cities recovered from the Ger
mans, indicating either that they fear
retribution or are running short of
high explosives.
The extensive use of caves and tun-

removed now because the Fuel Ad-
ministration feel they are no longer
necessary. and it is the desire of the
state Fuel Administration to be as
liberal as possible" the official an
nouncement states.
1T will be necessary, however, for
some time to come, to maintain the or
ganization and to enforce all previous
rulings" Mr.. CrCssley said We have
a tremendous task yet before US, and
the slightest decentralization or ten
dency towards inefficiency in the vari-
GUS governmental organizations will
confuse and delay the government in
its preparation for peace and in its
constructive program following the
war. Conservation and efficiency in
fuel consumption are absolutely nec-
essary now as before, especially with
winter upon u.s."
