advice as to the best way to turn back
the clocks next Sunday morning or

"a watch or clock is a piece Of

should not be misused. II is intend

BACKWARD. The desired result may
be had in case Of a watch by put

London, Feb. S.-Fresh outbreaks of
rioting and looting in Petrograd are
chronicled in special dispatches from the
Russian capital. Wine cellars jewelry
shops and clothing, food and drug stores
are being plundered.
Troops employed to suppress the dis
turbances did much shooting, in which
it is estimated 120 persons were killed.
BY firing on the mobs the soldiers
have been able to Quell the rioters at
intervals during the last three days and
nights, but the orgy begins again else
where.
Fighting between the bolsheyiki and
the Cossacks is said to be increasing
in the south and southeast of Russia,
where Cossacks are joining the Dol
sheviki in increasing numbers. Gen
erals Kaledines and Alexieff are re
ported to have quarreled, and General
Kaledines disappeared from Cossack
headquarters at Novo Tcherkask.
General Alexieff is acting independent.

AUSTRIAN CABINET
WANTS TO QUIT
Won SEYDLER TENDERS
RESIGNATION OF SELF AND
ALL COLLEAGUES.

Amsterdam, Feb, S.-Dr. Won Seyd-
Ter, the Austrian premier, has rendered
the resignation Of his entire cabinet to
Emperor Charles, according to u dis
patch from Vienna.
The resignation of the Won Seydler
cabinet, it is understood in parliament
airy circles in Vienna, is due to the op-
position of Polish deputies against spe-
cial debates and the provisional budget.
The opposition Of the deputies makes
a majority for the budget doubtful.
President Gross Of the lower house,
announcing the resignation, said that ac-
cording to the constitution, 1t was neces-
sary to postpone temporarily the sittings
of the house.
The cabinet of Doctor Won Seydler,
which was formed last June, was re-
ported to have resigned during the re.
cent labor crisis in Austria.Hungary.
This report, however, was not con
iirmed.
Doctor Won Seydler was able to bring
about the cessation of the strike by in
forming labor delegations January 20
that it was the wish of the Austrian
emperor to end war at the earliest pos
sible moment by an honorable peace.

FEW SUBMARINES
IN BARRED ZONE
UNTIL RECENTLY

New York, Feb. S-Thc number Of
German submarines working at any
one time at commerce destroying in
the prohibited zone had until recently
been surprisingly small, according to
reliable information received by a cor
respondent of the Associated Press, who
recently returned to the United States
from Europe.
During the early part of the winter
the number of submarine raiders at
work in the zone varied from twelve to
a maximum OF eighteen. 1t was then
expected, however, that the Germans
would endeavor to increase this num-
ber, largely as threat to the Ameri-
can troop transports and that they
might by this time be able to increase
this maximum perhaps to thirty boats
These estimates do not include the
smaller egg planters" or mine-layng
submarines.

certainly was the result Of sincere en-
deavor in the interest and welfare OF

expected; and this exhortation was even
utilized by wicked persons to incite pop
ular hatred against me while intended
to give proof of my love"

Official Report Shows There Were

London, Feb. 8. - Revised
figures indicate that the loss of
life on the Tuscania probably
was considerably in excess of
yesterdays estimates of 1O1.
1t is now believed complete re-
turns will show the number of
dead to be nearer 200 than
100.
Reports received at the
American embassy yesterday
indicated the loss of 101 lives,
while the British admiralty's
estimate was 210. This dis
crepancy now appears to have
been due to the fact that the
figures supplied to the en-
bassy evidently did not include
the missing, of which there
still are many.
1t was announced today that
arrangements were being made
by British and American off
cials jointly for great military
funerals for the Tuscania's
dead.
