 USES GERMAN HELP

EDINBURGH, Scotland, March 20. The people of the Isle of Skye and the neighbor islet of Rassay are up in arms over a German invasion of their territory and have appealed to the government in London to clear their Highland soil of the unwelcome visitors.
 The trouble is due to the action of local landowner who is employ ing a large number of German prison CTS. The islanders allege that the Erisoners are being employed not be- cause there is no local labor avail able, but because the local people will not accept the landowners's terms of ment.
 The Island of Rassay, which has a population of about 400, is owned by the family of a wealthy ironmaster and at the southern end are iron mines. These have been extended since the war began. and are being

 In this portion, according to the Senator, Germany proposed to Car ranza to offer to Japan, if Japan would join in making war on the United States. compensation, that compensation to be nothing less than "The cession to Japan of all the Uni ted States west of the Rocky Moun- tains.'
 The Senator asserts the State De- rartment and the President felt it wise to withhold the offer to Japan al the time of publication of the note, as it was then known that Japan had never received the offer. Now that Japan has had a chance to declare herself and also to announce that she lad not seen the note, the Senator said he did not know of any furthe" reason for withholding the informa- tiOn

TRAVEL AS AN EDUCATOR.
Seeing the World snd its Wonders
 nroadsns the Mind.

Millions of people never travel. his. ing day after day, they look out upon the same scenes, go through the same daily tasks and tumble into the same bed again at night. no different than they were the day before.
 Each year thousands are travelin: for the first time, not only the wealthy. but the middle class and even the poor est They are coming to view travel not as an cxtravagance. but as the price of comfort. health, experience and knowledge. Ocean liners are yer itable floating hotels, with bathrooms. prumenades and c0nservatOries, while trains are the last word in comfort with their thickly upholstered seats and handsomely appointed dining cars with up to the minute service.
 The educational value of travel is be- ginning to have the greatest weight Boys and girls who have been to the best schools help complete their edu- cation by seeing the world or such parts of 1t as their time and circum- stances will permit. The grown up who is wise realizes the broadening in. fuence of travel and counts each day well spent that brings him new expe- riences in foreign fields. No one can fail to be uplifted by seeing some of God's masterpieces or the handiwork of man in picture, sculpture. the,lral and splendid public edifices. Nor is it necessary to leave ones own country. There is plenty to be seen and learned in our home land If we will only go in search of it.-Ksthlcen Hills in Les lip's

STANDARD TIME.
The Railroad Confusion That Existed

The Railroad Confusion That Existed
 Before It's Adoption.
 Prior to 1883 time differences caused especially confusing complications on railroads in the United States. It was formerly customary for road to use throughout large sections of its terri tory the local time of one of the prin- cipal cities through which 1t passed. The result was that when two rail. roads met in some smaller town 1t ire quently happened that they were run ming under widely different time sys- tems AS many as five. different kinds of time were thus simultaneously in use in a single town.
 It was the need of an international standard of time that led to the prime meridian conference at Washington in 1882. This recommended the use of the Greenwich civil time, reckoned from zero up to twenty-four hours.
 In accordance with this resolution alnl to remedy the aforementioned diff ticulty the United States and Canada selected series of standard meridianS differing in longitude from that of Greenwich. England. by exact multi pies of 1J degrees.
 On Oct. Is, 1883, a convention was called by w. F. Allen. secretary of tho general railway time convention. which decided on the introduction of standard time. to take effect on Nov. IS. 1883. and on that day the change to the pres

WAR SUMMARY

Russia's armies nave not lost their
old striking power. as result OF theii
long inactivity. This is evidenced BY
the announcement today from Petrograd
OF the landing OF an important Austro-
German position in Galicia at the out
set OF the new offensive. together with
the capture Of more than $500 prison
ers.
The advance was effected In the field
OF attack between the upper Stripa and
the Nannarayuvka. General Brussilofi
moved there yesterday. the Austrc-
German lines being struck along a front
of more than IS miles. after prolonged
artillery preparation.
In pressing forward. the Russians cap.
tured the town OF Koniuchy.
The number OF prisoners taken com
pares not unfavorably with last years
list from General Brussilof's great Of
fensive along the southern part OF the
line in the east, considering the con.
parative shortness of the present lin,
Of attack.
A stroke OF such force had hardly
been expected from the Russians. con
sidering the disorganization OF th'
army following the revolution. Tn
surprise in the initial announcement
was that the Russians had effected re
organization and been able to resum'
the offensive in this brief time since th'
great upheaval.
The artillery battle still is raging Ia
to the north along the Russian lin
into Volhynia. as far as the middl
Stokhod. The latest Berlin statemen
indicates that attacks by the Russian
were expected to extend beyond tn
area OF the original fighting.
