CENTRAL HIGH NOTES
The Senior class will hold a dance
Friday evening of this week In His
shiw's HalL Oxrlns to unfavorable
conditions, the class officers have
found It nece&sary to bar the general
from these class dances. Tho
dances are held for the students of
the school, and not for financial pur
poses. Certain undesirables have,
from time to time, been admitted to
the dances, and. in order to keep ;
these undesirables out. the officers;
have been forced to Lake this step.
Hereafter, no persons will be admit
ted to the hall unless they have tic
kets having their names and approval
by the class adviser. Contrary to
some undercurrent talk, this action
has not been taken to keep out stu
dents of Tech. The students of that
institution are welcome to attend
the Central dances, but must procure
a ticket from some student of Cen
tral.
Due to the lack of chapel exer
cises and a bulletin board, the Sen
ior class takes this means to urge
the other three classes to buy their
tickets for the dance on Friday night
s.s soon as possible. These
procured from Class President Ross
& Hoffman, or I'rof. Miller in Room
15. No money will be taken at the
door. . . .
The Senior boyo received their
third drill yesterday morning under
the supervision of Major Stine and

Belgians Gaining Ground
in Desperate Struggle
Havre, Monday, Sept. SO.—Belgian
and British forces under command of
King Albert continued to-day to
mako good progress and reached the
environs of Roulers and crossed the
Roulers-Monln road. The Belgian
war offlce statement says the British
forces have reached the ri#er Lys
on a front from Warneton to Wer
vlcq. The number of prisoners was
further Increased. The statement
reads:
"The Allied and Belgian troops
under the command of King Albert
continued their brilliant attacks and
made further progress in spite of
attempts to check them. Through
out the day of September the Allied
NO FUEL ORDER IF
MERCHANTS HEED
[Continued from First Page.]
operate with the fuel administration
in its efforts to save coal.
Nearly all local merchants have
agreed to comply with the regula
tions limiting business hours from 9
until 5.30. A few, however, lire
holding back, and it is their reluct
ance to comply voluntarily that
would necessitate making an order
of the request.
"Through the authority confer
red on the State Fuel Administrator
by the enactment of the Lever Aet,
he is empowered to issue orders
governing .the consumption of coal-
Only a minimum number of such or
ders have been issued because of the
opposition of Administrator Potter
against compulsory action. The atti
tude -of the Fuel Administration is
that all that is necessary for the
United States government to do is to
point out the necessity for certain
action and the degree of patriotism
and soundness of judgment of the
businessmen of the state is such that
action will voluntarily follow," Mr.
Cole says in his communication to
Warren R. Jackson, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce. The Cham
ber has taken charge of the closing
regulations at the request of the local <
fuel administration.
According to the communication.!
the fuel administrator of the state I
lias received numerous requests from J
all parts of the state to issue orders,
restricting the hours that stores'
should be open for business. So far
he has refrained from issuing such
orders.
The fuel administrator, according
to Mr. Cole, confidently awaits the
voluntary action of the businessmen
of the state, as it emphasizes, while
awaiting this action, that there is notj
one pound of coal, nor one gallon of
oil, or any other fuel, that should not |
be conserved to the utmost.
"The administration is confident [
that the mature judgment of the pa-j
triotic businessmen of Pennsylvania i
is such that they will continue to be!
in the fore of the United States, as!
Pennsylvania is to-day, in the pa- 1
triotic campaign to conserve fuel, so!
that the war may be hastened to a
successful termination," Mr- Coio
says.
The reasons which make
ed business day necessary, Mr. Colej
says, are that the war's demand for:
coal Is Increasing to the extent that]
already there is a shortage of manyi
millions of tons. In addition it is :
said that by saving fuel in this man-'
ner, the amount of necessities for the!
armies can be materially increased
To illustrate the value of minute j
savings, the administration points
out that from one-half to three.quar-'
ters of a pound of coal is saved when
a street car stop is eliminated. The
aggregate saving throughout the
state, outside of the Pittsburgh dis
trict, total approximately 135,000
tons annually.

Wedge Is Deepened
The wedge driven in between the
fortress of Lille and German sub-,

is being widened rapidly. The Bel-1
gians are encircling Roulers on the
railway line from Lille to the sub

menace Mcnin, a junction point on
the same railroad and are along.the

Franco-Americans Advance
General Bertholet resumed his on

the region west of Rheims. The
French are marching toward the
eastern end of the Chemin. des

of Laon can be outflanked.
From the Suippe to the Meuse the
French and Americans maintain

important communication lines run-i

Quentin region. West of the Argonne:
the French are pressing up the val- j
ley of the Aisne toward Challerange;
and Vouzier. Since September 215 .the;
French have . captured more than
13,000 prisoners and in excess of
three hundred guns on this front.
East of the Argonne the Americans
continue to maintain and improve
their positions in the face of strong
German resistance.
On the stx sectors in Belgium and
France the past day has brought re

In Belgium the troops of King

It is unofficially reported that
