Inaccuracies.
These clocks are controlled from a
central station and 70 was planned to
stop them automatically at midnight
on Saturday Some OF them undoubted-
y stopped, but others kept on In the
even tenor Of their ways and ignored
the electric order Then at noon yes
terday-the new daylight noon-the au-
tomato tsarter was pressed and some
OF the clocks begin TO tell the righi

man National interests. both In Ger
many and in foreign lands"
A few thinking Americans knew
all the time what was Scoming- what
must come. But America, as whole,
went along In that care1essness and
indifference with which 1t treats all
things unpleasant, and allowed this
German war on our most sacred insti-
tutions to continue unchecked.
So Germany stands today, with one
foot on PROSTATE Belgium and the 9TH
er on the neck of poor deluded R,!s-
STA; with bayonet planted in the
heart of Serbia, and the point of Its
sword at the throat of Roumania,
while it looks out over the vassal
States of Bulgaria and Turkey to In
dia and the Orient. And as 1t stands
thus, it cries to its foes on the west
ern front:
.sKamerad! Why go on with all this
killing? Let's have peace by nego-
tiatiOnY and, under it's breath, adds,
'T've got all want for the present"
Can we talk Of any peace until
such Germany Is absolutely defeat
ed? Shall we negotiate a peace and
allow all these German preparations
for world domination to go on until
the time is ripe for Germany to COM
plete its conquests?
