We have received very definite
orders from Washington, stating
that we should accept no socks
that measures less than II or
more than II inches or they can
not be sent thru headquarters.
Will all knitters aid Or inspect
ing committee by seeing that this
rule is rlgidly enforced in the
future?
Red Cross Bulletin:--The mum.
Der OF socks received from the
various Chapters for the month
of June was very gratifying.
However, it did not represent
one.thlrd of the quota of socks
for which we have been asked.
Therefore, for the months of
July and August we ask once
more that our women knit faster
than ever, that by September |
we may have secured the entire
allotment and feel that once again
the Northern Division has ade-
quately met the demands made
upon it by Washington.

We START TO FOOL
OURSELVES SUNDAY
MARCH 31ST

The daylight saving bill was signed
Tuesday by President Wilson.
It puts all clocks forward an hour
on the last Sunday in March and
turns them back again the last Sun
day in October
Saves Hour Day for Seven Months.
THAT at o'clock a. m. of the last
Sunday in March of each year the
standard time of each zone shall be
advanced one hour, and at 2 o'clock
of the last Sunday in October each
year the standard time of each zone
shall, by the retarding of one hour,
be returned to the mean astronomical
time of the degree of longitude gov
erning said zone.
Thus between the last Sunday in
March at 2 o'clock a. IN. and the last
Sunday in October at 2 o'clock a. m
in each year the standard time in
each zone shall be one hour in ad-
vance of the degree of longitude gov
erning each zone respectively
In other words, when it is o'clock
in the morning in summer, it will be
seven o'clock, and when it is Z o.
clock in the morning in winter 1t will
be o'clock.
Now let us work it very simple for
you-When you go to bed on the
night of March 3lst, just move your
clock up one hour and then forget
about it until next October, then set
it back again and forget about it.

bULGARS At PEACE
WITH THE RUSSIANS
SLAV WAR is ENDED BY BLAkAN
KINGDOM AS RESULT OF
AGREEMENT.
Diplomatic and Economic Relations
Between Russia and Bulgaria Re-
sumed With the Consent Of
BuIgaria's Allies.

Berne. Switzerland.-A separate
peace agreement has been signed by
Russia and Bulgaria, the Bund re-
ports.
A Bulgarian correspondent of the
Bund says Premier Radoslavof read
the following dispatch from Brest-Lit-
ovsk in parliament:
"War between Russia and Bulgaria
ceases. Diplomatic and economic re-
lations between Russia and Bulgaria
are resumed. Russia recognizes Bull
garih's right to nominate delegate
10 an international Danube commits
sion. The first peace is thus conclud-
ed with the consent of Bulgaria's
allies"
The Bund says Bulgaria has APP
pointed a minister to Petrograd and Il
consul general to be stationed at
Odessa and has ordered the resump-
ton of navigation TO Odessa.
Bulgaria took part with Germany,
Austria and Turkey in the first nego-
tiations at Brest-Litovsk and it has
been assumed that no peace terms
would he agreed to by the central
powers except in concert.
King Ferdinand of Bulgaria is cred
tied with opposing the formula of
peace without annexations or indem-
mites. declaring Bulgaria should re-
tain the territory she had won. This
would not interfere with peace be
tween Russia and Bulgaria, however
inasmuch as the territory Bulgaria de-
sires consists of parts of Serbia and
Iiumana. Premier Radoslavoff had ac
cepted the Russian proposals, provid
ing for ending the war, restoring com
mefcial treaties in effect before tn,
war and settling the Danube question

DEMAND THAT NEGOTIATIONS

Germans and BoIsheviki Representa-.

Indications Being SIavs Will Ac-
cept Separate Peace.

Amsterdam.-Leon Trotzky, the Boil
ference at Brest-Litovsk Saturday, said
that in order not to leave any posi-
bility in the fight for peace unutilized,
the Russian delegation accepted the
demand that the negotiations be con-
tinued at Brest-Litovsk.
1t is said that Trotzky proposed, at
the peace negotiations, that the pres
ent armistice between Russia and Ger
many be prolonged for another month,
and that the central powers accepted
the proposal
The chairman of the Russian dele
cation said that in full accord with
their former resolution the Russians
desired to continue the peace negotia-
lions, quite apart from the fact as to
whether or not the entente powers
participated.
Trotzky said he had noted the state
ment of the central powers that the
basis of a general peace as formulated
IN their declaration of December %
was null and void. He added
I'VE adhere to the principles of
democratic peace as proclaimed by us"
Referring to the objection raised by
the central powers that the transfer
of the negotiations to Stockholm or
some other neutral point, as requested
by Russia, might enable the entente
nations to interfere. NJ. Trotzky said
the Bolsheviki, government had been
consistent and Independent in its peace
policy and that there was no reason
to assume entente diplomacy would
be able to oppose the conclusion of
peace more successfully on neutral soil
than in Petrograd.
