Never Offered to Re-
turn Alsace

Democratic Congress that the Imperial
Chancellor OR. Michselis) had stated
among other things at Stuttgart that
Germany was ready to return Aisace-
Lorraine TO France. The Imperial
Chancellor's utterances at Stuttgart
are generally known, and the assertion
of the Russian War Minister is an in
vention.
General Verkhovsky furth,r stated
that it was Germsny's intention 70
make separate peace with Great
Britain and France at the cost OF
Russia. and that Great Britain and
France had informed the Russian gov
eminent that they would not be parties

HAS PROVED BENEFICIAL
British Employers of Labor Give Cor.
dial Endorsement to the daylight
saving Proposition.

Inquiries in the leading centers of
industry indicate that the operation of
the summertime act is, among other
results, having the effect of increasing
the output in shipyards and engineer
ing works, says the London Times. On
he northeast coast some of the yards
have been able to arrange additional
spells of daylight overtime, and in
other establishments there has been
ali increase in output owing to the fact
that there are in the aggregate a large
number of extra hours when the work
can be carried on without the aid Of
artificial light and with a lessened
sense of fatigue.
II statistics car be kept which will
enable comparisons to be instituted be-
tween the output of the present sum.
mel and the corresponding period OF
last year it is believed that the com.
parison will be all to the advantage of
the present year.
Additional evidence Of the benefit of
the act from the industrial standpoint
comes from the railways. It has been
stated in the official organ of the Ma
tional Union Of Railwaymen that the
alteration of the clock has been fol-
lowed by an improvement in the work
ing OF long-distance night goods trains.
It has been found that the extra hour
of daylight has enabled the trains to
be made up and loaded in less time,
and there is a general feeling in rail-
way circles that the summertime act
should come into permanent operation,
as it would enable the work of railway
goods yards to be conducted with
greater rapidity and safety.
A point which seems to appeal to the
men who are on IN eight-hour shift is
that, whatever the turn Of duty to
which they r assigned, they either
begin or finish work in daylight. This
may seem to be a small and unimpor-
tant matter, but the fact that it has
caused comment among a large body
Of workers reveals an unexpected di-
rection In which putting working hours
in advance Of solar time has proved
beneficial.
