SHOULD GET
 BEHIND MOVEMENT
 ID SAVE DAYLIGHT
President Tener Urges Fans to Support Proposition to Turn Clocks Ahead
 an Hour

New York, January 31.-Baseball fans should get behind the proposition to turn the clocks ahead an hour for five months, league, in his address at the National Daylight Saving convention here today It would have the effect, he declared, of giving more time to millions for the physical and mental enjoyment derived from every form of amusement that is permissible only during daylight
 "The American game of baseball" said MT. Tenor, never has had an equal as outdoor sport, and it is hardly conceiv- able that it ever will. It seems that this game of our own invention includes and embraces every essential that stimulates the mind, recreates the exhausted facul- ty, amuses the jaded sense, revives the sluggish blood, makes strong the weak muscle, and inpels a vigor and health to the body that no other form of exercise combining the element of sport can ac- complish."
 A saving of millions would result from the substitution of an hours daylight for an hour during which artificial illumi- nation of some kind must be resorted to, pr. George F. Kunz of New York told the convention. The gas consump- ton by the people of Vienna during the five months of daylight saving in Aus tria, pr. Kunz said lis said to have been reduced 15S,9 200 cubic feet result ing in saving of $142 1000"
 Milton w. Harrison, secretary of the savings bank section of the American Bankers association, said he considered the daylight saving plan the longest step toward the greater thrift and conserva- ton in the individual American that has been taken in the history of the nation.

BOSS MOLEY WILL GO ON DUTY TO-DAY
MOLEY, BARON BOSS,
 WILL ARRIVE TODAY

Carlton Molesworth, the manager of the Birmingham Barons, will arrive in Bir- mingham sometime today. A wire was received by the sporting editor of The AgesJHerald last night from the Baron boss, stating that he would arrive in the Magic City probably this morning about 10 o'clock.
 The arrival of Moley has been expected for the past two weeks. President W. D. Smith of the local club announced that Moley would pull into Birming- ham about February l and the Baron boss will run true to the prexys predic- ton. The arrival of the chieftain is awaited with much interest by the local
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-02-01

With the coming of the chubby pilot baseball doings in the city will pick up materially. Although several deals have been pulled off by the Baron president since Moley's departure from Birmingham last fall, trades are expected to be an- nounced regularly for a few days fol- lowing his arrival
 Moley has the entire plans of the Bar ons for the coming season. He will probably announce them within a few weeks He will probably devote much of his time for the next week toward sending out contracts of the Barons for the coming season. The fact that the player limit has been increased one player and the salary limit to remain stationary, will cause the Baron boss to do some figuring in where to apply the ax to some member of the squad.

Further to serve the cause of humanity the government of the United States could do nothing better than to l cooperate to bring this bloody war to an end, possibly only by rigorous block ade of England.

 Philadelphia Public Ledger. It is im- possible to exaggerate the gravity of the issues raised by the German note or to ignore the indisputable fact that it brings the United States not only to the neces- sity of facing an immediate severance of diplomatic relations with Germany, but to the very verge of war.
 Indianapolis Star: The war rapidly is
 
 dog -eat-dog scramble, in which the rights of neutrals and the laws of humanity count for nothing when they interfere with a belligerent.

CONSENSUS OF EDITORIAL COMMENT ION GERMAN NOTE IS THAT SITUATION
 HAS BECOME A VERY CRAVE ONE

Washington Post: Germanys note will fall upon the American public with stupe- flying effect. It is impossible for this government to tolerate the new rule which Germany seeks to impose.
 New York Sun; The note closes for the present the chapter of altruistie en- deavors and tentatives of barley into which President Wilson has written his Realistic hopes. It creates an entirely new situation, of the most practical sort, so far as the United States is concerned, and serious in the extreme in it's possi- bilities of untoward incidents which may put to the test the steadfastness of Wash ington in it's attitude and assertion of the principles which our state depart ment has already enuncated.
 Louisville Courier-J Journal: Surely the President has been awakened from his dream of the millennium by Germanys latest note It is time for no further parleying. The challenge should be &C., cepted within 24 hours and the war thus entered on by America should not end until the imperial despotism of Germany, which dares plunge the world into such a war is completely and eternally crushed.
 St. Louis Republic: The German sub- marine note is a bald declaration that, for Germany, might will make right on the sea. The treaty with the United States is to become, like the treaty with Belgium, "a mere scrap of paper"

Clement, Curtis & Co.,, in Chicago, was preserved Hutton said he had no expla- nation to make, other than that mes sages sent to individual members of the firm were not kept, as a rule, and that the preservation of the Clement, Curtis & Co. message was an exception.
 @ ELLIS WILL APPEAR
 When the committee ordered that George A. Ellis, Jr.. who signed the AS D. m. telegram giving a resume of the note be immedia tely summoned, Hutton sent message to Ellis over his firm s private wire asking him to come to New York. He is expected to reach here Thursday night and appear Friday.
 Hutton finally, however, fixed the time of the receipt of the Connolly message as between 12;57 and :15 o'clock. He said this must be the time, as the "H G." message of 12:57 was based on rumor in New York, while the message sent at 1:15 referred to advices being received from Washington.

1 :54 o'clock and 'tconfidentially'' substi- tuted. This made the message read that the firm was "confidentially informed that a note had been issued" It also developed that the message originally read "a note will be issued"
 Hutton insisted that he and MT Ellis attached no great importance to the Presidents message regarding its effect on the market. Had they regarded it seriously, he said, they certainly would have sent out emphatic messages warn ing customers to linuidate.

entirely into their own hands.

with surprises and spirited speeches.

two-thirds of the time and, backed by
