earlier all over the land, and set day
time and daylight in their proper re-
lation.
Mr.. Borland found out that the
Constitution apparently gives Con-
gress no time to tamper with the
clocks. Time is widely distributed
asset, the one possession held by all
Of US along the purely socialistic
lines, as gracefully pointed out by
Arnold Bennett, who specialized on
what might be done with twenty
four hours day, but IL hardly quail
fies as an interstate commodity.
Only five States, IL oeems, have
dared legislate about time, and the
time we now have, such as It Is, and
call Standard" was jauntily as
signed us by a group of railroads
back in 1883. These facts gave the
Missouri philosopher pause, and he
now casts about for ways to cir
cumvent the constitutional snag.
For while yet we may keep the
precious hour that Mr.. Borland de-
signs to hold back on us from April
until September. 10

decreased consumption Of the army"
This statement is little blind but
significant. There are questions
which might be asked about IL which,
II answered, would give a line on
many doubtful points, one being the
actual loss in men killed in the
present war.
What part in the army ration does
grain play? How many men main
tanned at the front does 10000 tons
Of grain mean? Has the soldiers
ration been cut down?
Heretofore Germany has not been
unmindful Of the old military maxim
that ian army marches on its
stomach"-that fighting and feeding
go hand in hand. Whatever restric-
tons may have been placed upon the
civilian population it has been taken
for granted that the army ration had
not suffered.
Possibly, however, in an effort to
propitfate that gaunt specter of
famine which stalks behind the Ger
man lines, the soldiers ration has
been reduced. But no mere reduc-
ton in the ration would account for
$4,000 IONS of grain. There must
also be great reduction in the num-
Der Of those who have heretofore
consumed the ration. We may be
sure $4,000 tons Of grain represents
the sustenance Of a great number
OF soldiers, and If the reduced con-
sumption Of the army amounts to
that number Of tons, the army itself
must be greatly reduced.
The statement of the president of
the imperial grain board is just
momentary Tapping of the curtain,
just "peek behind the scenes"
which gives us a fleeting glimpse of
the awful price in human lives which
Germany has already paid for her
ambitions. Two facts stand out: the
army requires $4,000 tons Of grain
less than heretofore, and there is no
gainsaying the proverb Of the old
miner in "Peveril Of the Peak"
An he be dead
He will ant No hro.a
