The agitation in the more daylight
movement, involving the substitution
Of eastern time for central time In
Ohio and Indiana which it is claimed
is pushing steadily westward, will not
receive the commentator of Secre-
tary Haas of the Commercial club. In
stead its,isa more ikelyshp receive his
open and frank disapproval.
Cleveland was the first city In the
middle west to adopt eastern time.
There was great furore, with many
predictions that the affairs of the city,
railroad schedules, etc, would be turn
ed topsy-turvy but Mayor Baker of
Cleveland declared: We made the
change without the slightest diff
Guilty" Detroit followed Cleveland in
May, 1915, in changing its time.
By pushing the clock ahead, and
lien forgetting it, Detroiters according
to busy statisticians, now use 291
hours of fresh sunlight hitherto unused
and they save the expense Of artificial
light
Secretary Haas in explaining his lack
of endorsement to the plan said: The
Lake Erie railroad, l understand was
the only line which changed time in
Cleveland l was travelling in that
part of the state when the change was
made and reached the railroad depot

to assist them in finding a market for
their goods.

SLOW" said Postmaster Beck today, 'if
they would only send in their names,
we will forward them on to Chicago
where prospective customers could be

Containers for their eggs and pro-

one shipment will pay for the cost of
one of these containers which can be
used many times. We will send them

ATTACKS SUBMARINE.

BERLIN, June 23.--To back up Ger
many's charge that British merchant
ships are making war on German sub
marines, the Overseas News Agency
today issued the following:
The London Daily Chronicle says
that's the Anchor line steamer Camerio-
MIA from New York with many Ameri.
cans aboard attempted several times
to ram a submarine which finally sub
merged and disappeared. The story
is taken as evidence that should con-
vince America that British captains
risk the lives of American passengers
and that as long as they follow such
tactics no modification can be made
in Germanys submarine policy.
