For this purpose large number of
troops composing the newly organized

of officers and instructors have re-

italians Responsible

~ sOuauo nSokSOU3lOIS
d Copenhagen, Aug 31.-Italy's victory
on the Isonzo apparently is indirectly
responsible for the crisis over Poland.
The Vossische Zeitung, according to a
Berlin dispatch says that the sending
OF the Polish legions to the front, be-
cause of which the state council retir.
ed, was due to military necessity as
every available man had to be thrown
into battle line. The legions, with the
exception of detachment OF officers
and non-commissioned officers that re.
NAMED in Warsaw, to instruct re-
cruits, took over a section of the Aus.
'trian eastern front. The newspapers
statement is a revelation because it
had not been known here that the lie,

lieving troops to reinforce the Isonzo
front. This action was violation of
the understanding that Polish troops
were to be used only in the defense of
Poland, and not the southern front.

They interpreted it as implying a re-

had INDUCED in criticism of his poll

expression regarding departmental

Mr.. Bryan made a similar com

established a policy of preserving Sc

Roosevelt Administration, when even
high officials of the government were
restrained from disclosing routine

He is credited in official circles
with having inaugurated the move

policy that ultimately capitalized in
the preparation by the Attorney-Gen-

the most rigid form Of censorship

bill defining this form Of censorship
The measure is now before the Senate

it as ian attempt to Prussianize

An amendment will be presented
there to eliminate the entire censor
ship feature of the measure, or, at
least, to compel the rewriting Of it so

general condemnation of it through
out the country.
Mr.. Lansing's original contribution
contemplated an even more rigid re-

Shows Profit in
Last Years Risk

Rotterdam, Netherlands, May o.
So remunerative, albeit difficult and
risky, was transatlantic traffic in the
past year that the Holland-Amerfca
line, which maintained the service
between New York and Rotterdam,
reported profit of $10,982,976. This
| is a new record, being an increase of
nearly 100000 on the 1915 total,
which in it's turn was more than three
/, times as much as the profit obtained
in 1914. Out of the sum mentioned
| the company proposes to distribute
to shareholders $2,802,S10, as divi-
dend of SIS per cent, as. compared
| with SO per cent. for the previous
year, $3,416,053 being devoted to
writings-off and s3,400,0o0 reserved
for the war profit tax. This policy is
dictated by the uncertainty of the
outlook.
| The company appears to have been
fairly fortunate in the matter of
| losses, losing only the B1oomersdijk
off the American coast on October 8

pensation) and since the financial
year closed, two steamships among

Ireland Is Upset
Over Time Change

Dublin, May 9.-Ireland as a whole
was utterly unprepared for the inau.
guration of the summer time clock
this year. Last year. Ireland had its
own local time, and the difference
between the newly instituted summer
time and the local time was only 81
minutes. But this summer the Irish
clock already had been legally push
ed forward to correspond with Green
wich time; consequently noon today
would have been only 1895 a. m. be-
fore the two alterations.
With the double change there is
nothing like general agreement. The
Irish are entirely at odds regarding
the time of day. For some business
purposes in the cities the new time
has been, accepted willy-nilly. Trains
run by it and government offices de-
mand It Several privately and re-
ligiously controlled schools also con-
form to it, but the commissioners OF
National education have given half
an hours grace for the roll call in
national schools.
In the farming communities a con-
siderable portion Of the poulation is
still going by the old time schedule
on the ground that the earlier time
disarranges farm work and the milk
ing of cows.
But, in regard to church services
the greatest divergence prevails. The
Protestant churches, generally have
adopted the new time for their SER
vices. but the bishops of several
Catholic dioceses have directed thei1
clergy to keep to the old time, even
permitting themselves to say some
sharp things about the Irish mem
bers of Parliament who allowed the
legislation to pass without an excep.
