CLOSING
OF STORES and
HALLS IS ASKED

Capt. l. p. Baker, fuel admin1stra-
tor for North Dakota, in a statement
here yesterday, calls on merchants
of the state to close their places OF
business at o'clock. and he calls on
proprietors of dance halls, pool
rooms and motion picture theaters
to close not later than IL o'clock,
until March 1. this year, as a means
of conserving fuel.
Captain Baker says his investi-
cation had disclosed the fact that
in many small towns, electric light
plants are operated until far into
the morning hours as q means of
remain open.
His letter, addressed ITO the pub

ITO the Public:
TT has been called to the atten-
ton Of the federal fuel administra-
tor for North Dakota. that in some
localities, practically all the places
of amusement such as dance halls,
pool rooms, motion picture theaters,
etc. are open for entertainment
from. eight or nine o'clock in the
evening until three or four o'clock in
the morning; that electric light
plants in many of the smaller towns
are giving alI-night service FOR the
benefit of few consumers whose
service might be discontinued with
out serious Inconvenience; and that
stores are kept open until nine or
ten o'clock each evening; farmers
and townspeople being in the habit
of doing their trading after their
evening meal. Conditions in North
Dakota are such that the severe re-
strictions which obtain throughout
tba territory of the United States
east of the Mississippi river are not
required. Nevertheless, it is hardly
Indicative of fairness in attitude on
the part of our better -caTed-for
people that their time and money be
spent in self-indulgence while 9TH

to request that stores, except drug

SUMMARY OF WAR

Loss Of American lives in the sink
ing of the Transport Tuseania may
be heavier than first reports indieat-
ed, according TO dispatches from
London today giving revised esti-
mates. The total dead from the
steamer, il 10 said, seems now more
likely to approach the 200 than TO re-
| main near the figure Of t0t previous
ly given.
As the list Of the troops on board
the Tuscanis went down with the
ship Ii will not be possible TO make q
list of the lost, IL is stated, until the
names Of the survivors have been
cabled 10 Washington.
American soldiers, ss their trans
port, the Tuseania, wounded mortal
ly by . German torpedo, sank be-
meath the waves, faced death heroi-
ealIy. To their calm behavior and
sECiIifui work Of British destroyers
and trawlsrs, is due the fact that all
but 1ot Of the passengers and crew
were saved. OF those lost, the
were members of the crew.
The bodies Of "A of the missing
American soldiers already have been
washed I'D on the coast of northern
ireland. Positive Identification, how
ever, is believed remote, reports
say, because the tags the soldiers
wore had not been provided with
numbers or other information. All
will be buried in one grave.
When the TuSoania was struck
by the German torpedo the AmeTi-
can soldiers went calmly TO their
posts. As they lined up on one side
of the deck, with the crew. all Brit
ishsrs, on the other, the national
anthems Of the Anglo American al
lies were sung.
One American officer has related
that the u-boat attempted to sink
the rescuina dsstroyers, and that
one nursued the submarine and
dropped depth bombss siienofna Il
probably for all time.
On the American sector in Francs
the artillery Is endsaVorina to even
the score with the enemy by bonn
bardina heavily German batteries,
trenches and other military targets.
German guns were silenoed when
they attempted Co reply. The Amer
lean aunners succeeded in disPers-
ina q LARGE body of Germans, esti-
mated at two battaIions, and infiiet-
ina losses on the detachment.
GGrman GUoFA against A'S FE@u~"
lines at Verdun and in Alsaes are
growing stronger. Infantry attacks
have taken the place of raids but
the latest German attempts were
repuIsed with loss by the French
northeast Of Verdun, at the Bots
des-Fosss and south Of Hart
mannsNeiIer- -Kopf, in Alsacs. Small
raids and the usual artillery actions
have occurred on the British front.

PROPOSED ORDER
ONBORDER TOWNS
Abandonment of "Heat,
less" Mondays in South
Cause for Hope

Bismarck, n. D.. Feb. s.-With the
abandonment Of 'heatless Mondays
throughout the states south of
virginia today, and with the predic-
ton that the order would be
abandoned all over the United States
after next Monday, If weather condi-
tons remained favorable, il was
thought here today that North Da-
koa towns within three miles OF the
Minnesota border would not be
closed on Mondays as had bean
advocated in dispatches from Wash
1ngton yesterday. Late yesterday
State Fuel Administrator Baker.
wired a protest to Washington in re-
spOnse to q telegram from the con-
servation division of the United
States fuel administration suggesting
that this be done because Of the in
justice done TO merchants in cities
In Minnesota near the border. In his
wire Captain Baker suggested that
the restrictions be lifted on the Min
nesota towns suffering from COM
petition so that they be permitted to
operate.
At an early hour today no report
had been received from the federal
fuel administrator regarding the
closing of North Dakota. towns. or
regarding the proposed embargo
to be placed on imports Of all dock
coal in the state and eastern South
Dakota The order received yestsr-
day suggested that these sections be
required to depend upon their own
Ignite in the Wyoming and Non
tana coal. Captain Baker said that
such an order would work hardships
on consumers OF anthracite but
thought that the order would be all
right liz anthracite were exempaed
from the list Of coal placed in the
embargo.

WARM WEATHER
BRINGS RELIEF
Three and Half Day Shut
down Will Begin at
Noon Saturday
(By Associated Press.N

Washington, Feb. 8. - With the
total abandonment of heatless
Monday throughout the states south
or Virginia today, fuel administra-
tlon officials were hopeful the con-
tlnued warm weather and improve
ment in railroad traffic would permit
relaXatlon of the order all over the
United States after next Monday.
AS Saturday win be observed gem
orally as a half holiday and as next
tuesday is Lincoln's birthday ami
Versary, there will be a three and
one-half day shutdown. Officials
believe this will go far toward reliev-
ing the situation. The original pro-
gram called for the last heatless
Monday on March 20
The states affected are North and
south Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
Sudden thawing weather yester-
day brought prospects of unexpected
relief. The railroads could not re-
cover instantly from the bitter cold
Of the past few days, however, and
coal transportation accordingly still
was far below normal.
Reports to the railroad and fuel
administrations said many coal
mines were not supplied with empty
cars and that traffic was tied up
so badly in principal rail centers
that it would take a week to restore
even the same degree of order that
prevailed last week.
Labor was moro plentiful how
ever, and loading and unloading
operations went on faster in most
Of the country. Coal still was frozen
in cars which have been standing in
the open for days and it will take
a day or two more Of moderate
temperature to thaw il out. This
condition was particularly bad at
New York and other eastern ports
where difficulty is being encountered
in bunkering ships.

That The Subma-
rine Was Destroyed
Not Confirmed
(By Associated Press-)
NEARLY 200 LOST.

London, Feb. s.-Revised fig
ures indicate that the loss of life
on the Tuseania probably was
considerably in excess of yestsr-
days estimates Of t01. II is now
believed complete returns will
show the number of dead to be
nearer 200 than 100.
AS the list Of Americans on
board the Tuscania was lost when
the vessel went down, il will be
impossible to ascertain the names
or those lost until the names Of
the survivors have been eabIsd
to the United States.
Reports received at the Am
sriean embassy yesterday indicat-
ed the loss of 1o1 lives, while
the British admiralty's estimate
was 210. This discrepancy now
appears to have been due to the
fact that the figures supplied to
the embassy evidently did not in
olude the missing, of which there
are still many.
" was announced N8uay EHaE
arrangements were being made
by British and American officials
jointly for great military funerals
