NO DAYLIGHT TO SAVE

1t does not seem to have occurred to the gentlemen
in congress who advocate the continuation of the day
light saving" law throughout the year that in the winter
time. in these northern ATTITUDES, there is no daylight to
save. Our daily period OF sunlight is long in the summer.
It is proportionately short in the winter. By no possible
manipulation Of our clocks can we lengthen it by so
much as a second.
The whole daylight movement had its origin in the
Idea that during the period Of long days there would be
an advantage in beginning and closing the ordinary ac-
ttvities of the day an hour earlier than had been the
practice. To move all the time schedules forward an
hour would be attended with considerable Inconvenience.
The same result could be reached. and much more read
lily, by moving the clocks ahead an hour. That was done.
and those activities which had been begun at z a. m, for
instance. were started at 8, by true time, and closed cor
respondingly earlier. The plan gave us no more daylight,
but it enabled US in many cases to use to better advantage
the light which we had.

MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 81. 1918.
LOTS OF FIGHTING YET

l Will not q o TO delude ourselves into the oelef nat
the war is over or nearly over. Germany is worsted. She
has lost ground which she can never regain. Her armies
on many sections of the line are in full retreat, and are
being badly punished as they go. Her losses in men are
enormous, and her loss Of material is having its effect
in the lessened effectiveness of her artillery fire. She
has lost her hold on the Belgian coast. and with it the
submarine bases which, in spite of the damage inflicted
on them by naval operations, have been useful to her all
this summer But, while her cause is lost beyond a per-
adventure, there is lots of fight in her yet.
Germany does not want to fight longer. She prefers
to make peace by bargaining for it. This she will not be
permitted to do. Two other courses are open to her,
immediate surrender or a continuation of the fighting
for an indefinite period in the hope that in some way or
other she may thus be able to secure better terms than
she could hope for through immediate surrender.
The latter is the course that she is most likely to
pursue. That will mean fighting as long as she persists
And while the German armies are fighting and retiring.
they are shortening their line of defense. The shorten
ing of the line for one party also shortens it for tbe other.
But the process works to the advantage Of the less
numerous body, which. in this case. is Germany.
The retirement Of the Germans to an approximately
straight line from Antwerp to the neighborhood Of Metz
will effect a shortening of something like 100 miles.
which one authority estimates would be equivalent to adj
ding a million men to the German forces. The Germans
could hold their entire line more strongly than it is now

at critical points. 1t s-the business Of Marshal Foch-
and he appears to understand his business thoroughly
to infict such damage on the enemy while he is retiring
that instead of establishing himself in new positions rela-
lively stronger than he is now, he will have had all his
potential reserves whitfield away and will still be at as
great a disadvantage as at present.
All of this means fighting. hard and fierce. Recently
the operations in Belgium have been in the public eye.
Some hard blows are being struck southeast of Cambria,
and the Americans are striking northward on the line
west OF Eerdun. There are other Americans and French
along the Lorraine border and down into Alsace waiting
for the word to get into action. AT any hour a new Of
fensive may be launched in that district. There are un-
limited possibilities. and which Of the,4 are likely to de-
velop first is a matter known only to the army comman-
ders. But we may rest assured that so long as Germany
postpones her complete surrender the Allies will keep
hammering away at her, and there is not the slightest
indication that she intends to surrender just yet.

was accused, together with 80 promi-

De Belleville and Princess Maria De
Croy, Of having conspired to violate
the German military penal code, pun
ishing with death those who conduct
troops to the enemy. What she had
actually done, as she readily admit,

the border into Holland, English and
French soldiers and Belgian boys.
From Holland a number of English
men had succeeded in reaching Eng

nothing to do.
The Murder of Edith Cavell.
She was arrested Aug. 4, 1915,
brought to trial October z and con-
demned to death October IL. While
the German authorities were assuring
the American. legation that Judgment
had not yet been pronounced, the SEN
tence was'being read to Miss Cavell in
the prison of st. Giles and it was not
until s p. m. that word was brought
secretly to the legation that she was
to be shot at Q a. m. the following day.
In spite of the exertion of all possible
efforts in her behalf, continued until
the last moment. the sentence was
carried into effect shortly before day
break.
e. Miss Cavell herself had not expected
such an end to the trial, but she was
not at all afraid, and she had no re-
grets.
She was brave and bright to the
last the German military chaplain
told the English rector who was per-
mitted to visit Miss Cavell on the
evening Of october IL but not to be
with her at the end.
"She protested her Christian faith
n that she was glad to die for her
country. She died like a heroine"
Iwenty-six others were condemned
with Miss Cavell, five Of whom we're
sentenced to death, out only one Of
whom was ever executed. This was

sian viewpoint, to hurry out, a woman
all alone and kill her. And so it was

were saved.
But Edith Cavell was English.

MISS VAN GASTEL

Long before the appointed hour
on Monday afternoon. The Amuzu
was full to overlooking, every
seat in the pit, balcony and stage
was taken, stairway and lobby
crowded while several hundred,
many of whom had ridden long
dusty miles were unable to get
within doors to hear Miss Van
Gastel's address. Draped over
head was a great American flag
with Magnolias while great bas-
kets of red roses, lilies and pop
pies were used effectively and
promptly at 3 p m after the sing
ing of America, Mr. M. H. Car
yer in one of his most eloquent.
soul stirring talks, introduced the
speaker.
This young patriot is just on the
threshold of womanhood in years
but has lived thru centuries of ex-
periences. Born and reared in
Belgium, she was just about to
have her college degree conferred
when war broke out and she at
once volunteered as Red Cross
nurse, and after doing all she
could, suffering inconceivable hard
ships she was separated from fam
| lily, home and friends reached
America and is now rendering
every service within her power to
help win the war and make the
world safe for democracy.
Miss Van Gastel has a most
magnetic personality, is modest and
unassuming, womanly in every
sense of the word, is brilliant,
brainy and her mastery of english
in the short time she has been in
America is marvellous. Her voice
is clear and resonant and the for
eign accent but adds to its charm
She has a keen sense of humor and
told several laughable incidents;
her pathetic experiences stirred
her audience and her Wake up
America" brought wonderful re-
suits as 500, 900 was added to the
amount already subscribed putting
