not conceive of any sound objection to the scheme. They pointed out that as a war measure Germany and other European nations deemed it advisable to advance the cloc dur. ing the summer months and retard 1t during the winter months. thus assuring advantage being taken of all the daylight available.
 Big Aid to Economy
 Experience has convinced them that the reform was not only desir- able in the interest Of the health of operatives but increased their effic- iency and output and also resulted in almost unbelievable economies. The fact that it was not necessary to use artificial light meant an enor- nous reduction in the bills for coal and other fuel. For Germany par. ticularly inclosed as she is in an un- breakable blockade, this was of the highest importance.
 A secondary gain lay in the fact that the reduction in the amount of coal used meant that fewer men were required in the German coal mines, thus permitting the drafting of a large number Of miners for ser vice at the front. Moreover so far as the belligerent countries are con- cerned the longer hours of work in the spring. summer and fall, which the increased daylight per mits. assures greater output of products, without depriving the op- eratives of their usual period of sleep.
 England Has Acted
 That England awakened to the ad- vantage of this plan is shown by the fact that the parliament in London rushed a daylight bill to final pass age.
