backward at the time of retiring and
the succeeding days will take care of
themselves, but not so with the more
than 500 time clocks of the Western
Union Telegraph Company in Dem
yer. Elaborate Instructions are to
govern the regulating of these many
instruments, by which the city, in a
very large measure, times itself. Last
spring it required two days in which
to advance and regulate these clocks,
at an expense to the company Of $3.50,
but this time the company will ask
the persons and firms using the clocks
to make the necessary change. The
following instructions have been sent
out to guide the adjusting of the
clocks next Sunday:
Adjust Them by Hand.
THE necessary adjustment of West
ern Union clocks must be made by
hand. 1t is simple if the following
directions are observed. The change
of time may be effected at your con-
venience.
MAKE the adjustment on an even
hoH by moving the minute hand for
ward around the dial eleven times.
Move the hand fairly rapidly to avoid
being out of synchronizing range
when the change has been made. Do
not under any circumstances attempt
to move the hand backwards. Do not
attempt to change by moving the
hour hand. Move the minute hand
only. Be careful not to move the
clock out of plumb, as this will inter
fere with the pendulum. Do not dele

ager."
Railroad trains will adjust to the
schedule by remaining in terminals or
on sidings one hour after midnight.
One Car viii Drop Out.
The clocks on the Daniels & Fisher
tower, the city hall and union station,
as well as the numerous curbstone
clocks along Sixteenth street, will be
turned back during the night and the
man on the street .the morning after"
will notice no change. There will be
no change in the operation of the
Tramway cars, with the exception that
the car which would ordinarily leave
the loop at o'clock Sunday morning,
will not run, but the 3 o'clock car will
run in its stead.
Those who go to work Monday
morning. who have a chronic dislike
for rendering the boss" longer hours
of service than they are paid for,
should beware of the clock. Unless
that instrument is turned backward
with the others of its kind in the
city these are apt to reach the place
of labor one hour ahead.
The daylight saving plan" has been
officially adopted by Congress for the
whole United States and unless re-
pealed the clocks will be set ahead
one hour March 81, next, and set
back an hour the following October,
each year with pendulum regularity.

Progress is the forward march of
time, and time is the wonder worker
of the world. Five years ago, the
world was peaceful and industrious,
with two of the central powers of Eu-
rope convalescing from the aftermath
of war, to-wit, Austria Hungary from
the Balkan, and Russia from the Rus
so-Japanese war.
Busy people had forgotten all about
war.
The world was full of hustle for
industrial advantages. Labor was
clamoring for its due, and capital was
usurping more than its share.
Power is ambitions lust, and the
lust of power is found not only in the
lion but in the very worm that crawls.
Democracies have their Tories
aristocracies have their Junkers. In
every democracy are those who prefer
n monarchy, and in every kingdom
may be found those who would like an
absolute monarchy.
So five years ago, we found Europe
infested with the tapeworm of kaiser
ism, keeping it hungry, in tapeworm
fashion, emaciating the very body
within which it lived, growing, feed
ing itself.
Thus, the great war, the greatest
war in the history Of the world, was
started.
Every effort to expcl kaiserism from
Europe failed. 1t had grown so large
that it WINS fast devouring Europe
and Europe paid homage at its feet.
Had kaiserism stayed within its
own jurisdiction and field it might
have been the conqueror of tho world

1t was a raw day. The wind was
whirling about continuously and then
returning again according to its cir
cults. In little Serbian village the
wind was acting obstinately. Here it
would take up some torn shingles and
whirl them into the market stalls.
There it would tear out the oiled paper
windows and whirl cloud of snow
into some beggar's hut.
The market people were huddled
into their stalls trying to keep warm.
The German invaders had confiscated
all fuel and food and many were sleep
ing in gunny sacks and piles of paper.
1t was one of those days when the
cold and chill penetrate to the bone.
The peasants had been living on roots
and stray food and many of the
younger children had died. The Ger
mans were patrolling the village
streets and taking all able-bodied meE
and boys.
They did not take Simon. He was
too frail. His father, n carpenter. was
dead-killed in the invasion-and his
mother was carried away by the SOL
diers-he knew not where. So Simon
was standing on the corner near the
square. He was a small boy-much
too small for his age. The wadding
was peeping thru his trousers, and he
had no shoes worthy of the name
First he would stand on one foot and
then on the other trying to keep warm
Simon did not beg. He only stood
occasionally he held out his hand with
out speaking. He was too proud to
ask for aims.
A German soldier was approaching
with a basket of fresh bread. Simon
smelt the bread but said nothing. He
blew on his hands. He shifted to the
other foot-trying to keep warm.
"Why don't you move on, you beg
gar?" asked the soldier.

PEACE TALK is NOT SINCERE.
Gompers Cables His Opinion From
Rome, Italy.

In cable from Rome to A. F. of L.
headquarters, President Gompers
made this comment on Germany's lat
est peace offer:
"The offer of an armistice is moth
ing more than another maneuver of
Germany and the central powers to
weaken the solidarity of the allied
democracies and their will to fight
for the destruction of imperialism,
militarism and autocracy, and there
by to patch up peace that will men,
ace the peace of the world again when
the German government is even better
prepared.
The German, Austrian and Turkish
militaristic system must be beaten and
its makeup must know that it has
been thoroly beaten. The safety of
labor and of the people generally de-
mand from the central powers their
unconditional surrender or that their
military menace be crushed. This is
the Judgment of not only the American
labor mission now in Rome, but of all
with whom we have come in contact" +"

TWO CHARGED WITH SUPPLYING PL A N $
 TO GERMAN AGENTS

New York, August 1.-Charged with plotting to supply German agents with plans and specifications of airplane sta , bilizers, Hans Jacobson and Court Courant, both of German birth, were arrested today by agents of the de- partment of justice.
 At the offices of Charles F. Dewoody, chief of the bureau of investigation. it was said both men had made a con- fession in which they told of working through Capt. Franz Won Papen until he was expelled from the country.
 Courant was employed until a year ago in a plant which manufactures the stabilizers and had ready access to plans and specifications He is said to have made copies of them. beginning in January, 1915, and turned them over to Jacobson, who in turn gave them to Non Papen. After Won Papen's depart ure another agent is said to have called for the plans and specifications at Jacobsons home.
 The men are also alleged to have furnished Won Papen and other agents with information as to steamers on which stabilizers were being shipped to France.

Bessemer, August Especial )-The following statement of interest to the people in this district has been issued;
 The guide mill at the Bessemer rolling mill set new record during the month of July. Three hundred and fifty tons beyond the former monthly record. which is an unprecedented hap pening in a mill which has been in op- eration as long as this one. Most eight-inch mills having a habit of breaking their former record by from about five to 50 tons. In addition to the above record the plate, mill, bar mill and guide mill each broke their in- dividual 24hour record. and then col lectively broke the 24-hour all-mill rec ord. Superintendent w. J. Smith is very gratitied at the patriotic manner in which the men of the Bessemer roll ing mill are responding to President Wilson's appeal for the maximum ton mage and maximum hours per week by each man. Cigars were passed around to the men by the company to show their appreciation of the good work done at these mills" A significant fact in regard to the record made by the
 Bessemer rolling mill is the number of high school boys who assisted in it, there being about 20 holding positions there this summer
