VERBAL EQUINOX THE HARBINGER
 OF SPRING
By John A. Wilson

The Nernal Equinox, hamburger of spring in less harsh climates than the sub-arctic regions of Alaska, occurs tomorrow, Morch 20, 11:26 D. m. The sun at that time passes over the equa- tor from south towards north and day and night are equal all over the earth. the phenomena known as the refrac- tion of light, which makes the sun ap- pear a little higher than it really is, and thus accelerates sunrise and re- tards sunset, making the day about 16 minutes longer than at night To- morrow the sun rises 6:02 a. m. and sets 6:1S D. m. The farenoon is ! hours 5S minutes in length and the af- tcrnoon hours IS minutes. but this is which at this time is additive to ap- parent sun time. The day at present i is gaining in length min. 37 sec. daily, and the sun is also gaining rapidly in height, 24 minutes of arc daily, or 1 , degree in 2A days. At Nome tomor- row the sun is 251A degrees above the horizon. At the equator the sun is vertically overhead, while at he poles it is just sllirting the horizon.
 1 The path on the star sphere that the sun appears to move over in the course of a year is called the Zodiac. and it is ] divided into 12 consultations of stars, 1 through each of which the sun travels in one month. In the days of the Greek astronomer Hipparchus, who in 1S4 B.
 c. constructed the first catalog of stars on modern principles, the sun at the Nernal Equinox entered the Zodiac constellation Aries (the Ramp. This point is called the First Point of Aries, and is the zero mark from which celes- l tial longitude is reckoned. just as Greenwich marks the starting point of terrestial longitude. This. however, is not a lived point among the stars, for owing to a small movement known as the Procession of the EquinoXes, the sun moves backward 50 seconds of arc yearly, and it has retrogaded a whole i sign since the days of Hipparchus, so that at Vernad Equinox it is no longer in Aries but in the constella- ton behind it. Pisces. (the F'ishes)

ALLIES PLANNING

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan.
dawn of new year
found the United States and
its allies unswervingly OPP
posed to any peace on the
Teuton or Russian terms.
Sub-surface suggestions that
the allies were weakening before
the sinister Teuton peace propa-
ganda met with the positive dec
laration from foremost govern
ment leaders that there is no
change of front.
Officials had planned to ignore
the German peace movement.
But finding that the talk and
the propaganda grew apace, they
were confronted today with the
question of answering this mass of
insidious propaganda. That ex-
pl aims Lloyd Georges and M. Gle
menceau's conference. 1t explains,
too, the reports that the U. 5.
government heads and allied lead
ers are consulting on peace.
Germany Insincere.
Opinion of allied and American
government men is unified on the
point that the time is not ripe for
peace.
Germany, they know, really
wants peace-wants 1t more badly
than ever before.
There is less talk of yictori-
GUS peace emanating from Ger
many than ever before. Now 1t Is
mostly just plain peace.
But the American and allies
position is that Germany is still
insincere in meeting the world
half way. She has not stripped
herself of the power which made
the war possible and which could
inflict other wars.
But lest allied and American
silence be misconstrued, there will
be some statement to offset the
Germans, unless present plans fail.
Some quarters suggest that this
statement will contain even more
specific war aims and peace terms
than any previous procurement.
In any event, 1t will not be an ac-
ceptance.

kaiser had taken step toward
democracy by comforting more
