FOR UNIFORM LIGHT SAVING.
Anderson Says England and America Should Act Together.
John Anderson, a member of the Legislative Council of Newfoundland, who has been called the father of the one-hour daylight saving plan, said, on a recent visit to this city, that the time had come for teh authorities of Great Britain, Canada, and the United States to come to some agreement for uniformity in changing the clock in the Spring and Fall.
"There is already uniformity between Canada and the United States, and the next step is uniformity with England," said Mr. Anderson. "This season Great Britain put her clocks back on Sept. 27, one month earlier than the United States, making the difference in time between the two countries six hours instead of five. This upsets satisfactory business relations between the Stock Exchanges of the two countries, bringing about a condition similar to that of the year before the United States adopted the plan. There should be no difficulty in arranging a uniform time for altering the clock time between England and America, for, besides benefitting the exchanges, it would also be a decided convenience to shipping and many other interests in providing a uniform time schedule throughout the year."
Mr. Anderson gives the credit for the daylight saving plan to William Willett, an English architect, who died two years ago and who began his campaign, to aid the working man in saving an hour of daylight for labor in 1907.
"Looking at the daylight saving measure from an economic standpoint, and that is a great factor, I believe it would be a conservative statement to say that the saving in the British Isles, the United States, and Canada during the last six onths has been fully $170,000,000," said Mr. Anderson. "That only allows a saving in lighting and fuel expense of $1 a person, as I am estimated a population of 110,000,000 for the country, 50,000,000 for Great Britain, and 8,000,000 for Canada and Newfoundland."

American Editors Indignant at Outrages Upon France and Belgium.
LONDON, Nov. 10.―A party of American editors who arrived in London in October have returned after a fortnight's visit to France and Belgium. They visited Lille and other evacuated towns a few hours after the Germans left, and are burning with indignation over the German treatment of the French and Belgians.
They declare themselves for reparation to the last dollar of what the occupied countries have suffered.

FEWER WORKERS INJURED.
Industrial Board Points Out Benefits of Compensation Law.
A report by the Bureau of Compensation of the State Industrial Commission says that since employers have had to pay for accidents to their employes the number of accidents in industrial plants have greatly decreased, the average of the last year being a little less than one in each plant. This is explained by the fact that employers are now more careful to safeguard their employes against accidents, and that men and women are not now set to work at machines until they have been fully instructed in the use of them.
Another point made by the commission is that the cost of compensation has conveinced employers that it is cheaper to employ skilled men and women at a higher rate than those who are unskilled at a lesser wage. In 1914, when the compensation law was enacted, the average weekly wages of employes was between $13 and $14 a week. The average is now $20. Commenting on the fact that the Federal Government has appropriated $2,000,000 and enacted a law for the rehabilitation of soldiers, the report says that the soldiers of peace as well as of war need rehabilitation. It adds:
"Industrially who needs to be rehabilitated? The answer is those who have been permanently injured. Therefore the importance of prevention is emphasized, for prevention makes unnecessary compensation and rehabilitation. In this connection it is well for every employer and every citizen to sit down and contemplate the loss from an industrial accident.
"It begins the moment the injured workman leaves his machine. It affects not only the workman himself, but his family, his employer, his possible other employers for whom he might have worked had he not been injured, &c. In fact, it is a case of pure loss, and its burden is borne by somebody somewhere. The value of the preventive measure therefore becomes all the more apparent as the question is considered to its end."

FOR WAR FUND SUPERVISION
Union Declares Large Sums Went to Pockets of Collectors.
As part of its campaign for the passage of the bill for the Federal supervision of war charities the American Victory Union yesterday sent out a statement asserting that large sums collected for war charities had been put into the pockets of the collectors. The statement included also indorsement of the campaign now being conducted by the United War Work Committee to raise $250,000,000 for the work of the Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A., the Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare Board, the War Camp Community Service, the American Library Association, and the Salvation Army.
The statement alleges that the total gathered by dishonest committees is about $25,000,000, and it says the bill introduced by Senator Ashurst will prevent illegal collecting of funds for all charities, even after the end of the war. Many of these committees are still operating, the Union says.

FORM 1,200 LABOR BOARDS.
Every State Except Two Has One or More Community Agencies.
About 1,200 community labor boards are now organized and functioning as a part of the United States Employment Service. With the exception of Alaska and New Mexico, which have not yet reported, every State in the Union has two or more community boards active in supervising the recruiting and distribution of labor in their communities.
Out of a total of fifty States, counting Alaska and the District of Columbia, thirty are on record as having completed their full number of boards. Approximately 1,500 boards will be the final total, it is expected, and from the speed with which the work is progressing it is expected the goal will be reached within three or four weeks.
In nine States sixty-one boards report the naming of women members in accordance with the ruling provided for the appointment of two women members to each local community board, one of whom is to represent local labor and the other local management. The number of community boards to which women members have been nominated and the States in which these boards are located are: Colorado, 1; Delaware, 4; Illinois, 3; Montana, 4; New Hampshire, 29; New Mexico, 1; North Carolina, 4; Maryland, 13; and Rhode Island, 2.
Although all community boards are functioning the members have not officially been inducted into the Employment Service, and it is probable that they will not until all States have completed their lists. At that time all nominations will be placed before the Secretary.

Jacob Schiff, at Exercises, Makes Plea for War Work Fund.
Several thousand persons went to Seward Park yesterday morning to attend the opening of the attractive new canteen hut for soldiers and sailors by the Jewish Welfare Board. There was speech-making and music. Former Ambassador Abram I. Elkus presided at the exercises and Jacob H. Schiff was the principal speaker.
"Now that the war is ending happily for everybody," said Mr. Schiff, "the Jewish Welfare Board, the Y.M.C.A., the K. of C. and other war work organizations will for many months need our support more than ever, our soldiers and sailors will demand more attention when the grim business of battle is over and the guns have ceased. When the boys come back we want them to feel that we did what we could for them."

Patriotic airs were chimed from 10:15 to 10:45 A.M. These chimes were played before the Revolution by Peter Faneuil and Paul Revere. They pealed out the glad news when the Stamp Act was repealed in 1776, and informed Boston of the Declaration of Independence in the same year.

PARIS CROWDS CHEER NEWS.
Await the Armistice Bulletin While Rejoicing in Fresh Victories.
Copyright, 1918, by The New York Times Company.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
PARIS, Nov. 9.—The moonlit boulevards and streets of Paris were filled tonight with joyous crowds, waiting momentarily for expected news of the armistice. In the meantime, all other good news was received with shouts, and it is coming fast. Hardly had the crowds finished cheering over the request of Prince Maximilian made to be relieved of the Chancellorship when newspaper office bulletins recorded the fact that the Kaiser had abdicated.
Almost simultanouesly Paris learned that Romanoues had become Premier of Spain and General Coanda Premier of Rumania. Both these men are firm friends of the Allies. Coanda's wife is a Frenchwoman.
But all these big things, even to abdication itself, which had been discounted, were looked upon only as the curtain-raisers for the big fact yet to come of the ending of the war. No details have been received here as to who will succeed the Kaiser, but it is taken for granted that the German Socialists are in the saddle.
# The North Star (Rochester)/1848/01/07/Memory of Clarkson

From the Philadelphia Saturday Courier. MEMORY OF CLARKSON. Lines Occasioned by the Death of the Great and Good Thomas Clarkson.
Clarkson! revered in every clime Where Mercy lifts her voice sublime, Immortal honors—guiltless fame— Deep in our hearts have set thy name.
The patriot's wreath, though bright, must fade; The diadem, by mortals made, Grows dim and pale, beside that crown Which circles thy unsought renown.
Thy simple majesty of mind, Thy lofty purpose, well defined, Shall stand before that searching eye Which every motive can descry.
A foreign shore, the stranger's land, The pathless waste, the burning sand, Witnessed alike thy steady aim A nation's sorrows to proclaim.
To break the fetters of the slave Thy great resolve had aimed to save, And change them to that golden chain, By Heaven designed, from Heaven which came:
The links composed, since time began, Of boundless love to erring man, Though dimmed awhile and blended here With strange alloy of guilt and fear.
Illustrious hero, great and good, No trophies, stained with human blood, Above thy honored dust shall wave, To mock thy pure, unblemished grave.
Friend of my race, farewell! farewell! Affection weeps to hear thy knell; Thy requiem shall be fondly sung, In distant land and foreign tongue.
And when thou standest at "the gate," Where countless myriads trembling wait, Thine be the great reward to win— "My faithful servant, enter in!"
# The North Star (Rochester)/1848/01/07/Great Anti-Slavery Meeting

GREAT ANTI-SLAVERY MEETING.
Pursuant to a call extensively circulated through the city, a large audience convened in Minerva Hall on Sunday morning, Dec. 19th, for the purpose of considering the sin of American Slavery, and our duties, as Christians, towards its utter annihilation.
Joseph C. Hathaway was called to the chair; and Giles D. Stebbins and William C. Nell appointed Secretaries.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Howard.
Frederick Douglass offered the following resolutions:—
Resolved, That in assembling on this day for the purpose of lifting up our voices in behalf of our oppressed and plundered fellow-countrymen, we but follow in the footsteps of Him who has said, "It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath-day."
Resolved, That in the simple act of slaveholding are comprehended the crimes of theft, robbery, and murder; the subversion of all human rights; the destruction of all that dignifies and ennobles man; and is direct war upon the government of God.
During the discussion which continued during the day and evening, Frederick Douglass alluded to the powerful influence which the American church exerted against the liberation of the slave; and detailed many facts in the history of the various ecclesiastical bodies, proving conclusively their manifold wickedness and persevering inconsistency with the teaching of Him whom they claim as Master. And in reference to the day, he remarked, that preaching for the slave was a paramount duty, inasmuch as "a man is of more value than a sheep."
Giles B. Stebbins censured the clergy for their coldness and indifference to the vital question of American slavery,—"They are by far the most guilty party; for by their position they wield a great influence with the masses; but that influence, I rejoice to believe, is fast passing from their hands. The people have begun to perceive the fallacy of their teachings, with liberty for a text, and oppression for its commentary."
C. L. Remond briefly commented upon the resolutions; remarking that when the ear of the American people can be gained, the downfall of slavery in this republic is certain.
J. C. Hathaway presented a graphic picture of the injuries heaped upon the free colored people of this land, and the slaves in the southern plantations. Many an eye filled with the sensitive tear, as the speaker portrayed the angiush of mothers and daughters, victims of a relentless tyrant a power; and as he invoked the co-operation of all present to aid in undoing the heavy burden, that the oppressed might go free, the immense audience seemed, by their expression of countenance, "the mirror of the mind," to give in their hearty assent to his appeal.
After remarks in further support of the resolutions, by M. D. Codding, L. Burtis, and others, they were unanimously adopted.
The meeting united in singing an Anti-Slavery hymn, and with apparent reluctance adjourned.

​ B (bē), the second letter, is a consonant, and is called a sonant labial, because made by the lips and representing a sound, as in able, boy, cab. After m in the same syllable or before t, it usually is silent, as in bomb, debt, bdellium. The form is Roman, from Greek β, which, perhaps, is of Phœnician origin.
