BILL GIVES THE U. S.
AN HOUR MORE OF DAYLIGHT
Measure Passed by Congress Saves
Millions Of Dollars in FueI-in
Effect March 81.

Washington, March 1S.-The last
step in the passage of the Calder day
light saving bill was taken when the
senate, without objection, concurred in
the house amendments. The bill now
goes to the president.
1t is estimated by experts for the
government that millions of dollars
will be saved in fuel in the seven
months during which the standard
time shall be advanced one hour.
1t will not be necessary, it was point
ed out by speakers in the house, to
have lights burning in factories and
places of employment during the period
of the advanced time from March to
October, and this will effect a large
saving in coal.
The bill provides that at 2 a. m. on
the last Sunday of March of each year
the standard time shall be advanced
one hour, and at 2 a. m. on the last
Sunday in October the standard time
shall be retarded an hour. The effect
of this is to start all business activities
an hour earlier anil close the same an
hour earlier than at present.
This will give opportunity for recre-
alton and outdoor work and activities
long before sunfall after the close of
business.
While the strong arguments adj
vanced for it was the saving of fuel
consumed for Illuminating purposes,
agricultural experts and conserva-
tiOnists asserted that men employed
in offices and factories would have
plenty of time, through the earlier
closing of places of employment, TO
work their gardens and thereby con-
tribute to the food supply of the ma
ton.

DUTCH SHIPS To Be
SEIZED BY ALLIES
Holland Notified Plan Goes Into
Effect March 18.
BRITAIN AND U. S. IN MOVE
Minister From Netherlands to See
Wilson in Final Plea to Modify
Action-Vessels Will Be Used
to Garry Food.

Washington, March Is. - After
months of delay and unsuccessful ne
gotiation with the Netherlands, the
United States and Great Britain have
decided to lake over on March Is for
the allies use all Dutch ships in the
allies ports, unless the Netherlands
government accepts an agreement to
| that purpose before that time.
This will bring practically mill
lion tons of ships to the aid of the
allies at time when they are sorely
needed.
The Netherlands minister, Augustus
Phliilps, had an engagement with
president Wilson and it was expected
ne would present from his government
final appeal that the action be de-
layed or at least modified.
There are no indications, however,
that the allied governments will re-
cede from their decision. In fact, a
final communication is understood al
ready to have been presented at The
Hague by the British and American
diplomatic representatives.
To Have Liberal Compensation.
In addition to being recompensed
for the loss of any of the ships, the
Dutch are to receive liberal compensa-
tons in export privileges of bread
stuffS, which they need badly.
German pressure is expected to de-
ter the Netherlands government from
accepting the offer.
American officials contrasted the ac-
ton of the United States and Great
Britain with the attitude of Germany,
which for months by threats has at
tempted to exercise a control over
Dutch shipping outside it's territorial
jurisdiction not warranted by interna-
tional law or civilization.
A large amount of tonnage still is
left free for Hollands own needs.
Meat exports to the allies will be in
creased so per cent and perhaps dou-
bled shortly, under arrangements being
negotiated by the food administration
with the allies food representatives
here.

u. S. STEAMER SINKS DIVER
American Tanker Hats After Being
Pursued and Sends Submarine
to Bottom With Shell.

An Atlantic Port, March 1S.-At the
end of an hours battle between a Ger
man submarine and an American tank
steamship, the PaulSboro of the
Vacuum Oil company, which arrived
here, the U-boat was sunk, according
to officers of the American vessel. One
of the crew on the tanker was wound
ed by a shell fired by the submarine.
The fight took place in the Bristol
channel on February "a. The tanker
tried to escape and was pursued.
The tanker halted and gave battle.
The officers said the shrapnel shells
fired by the American gun crew either
fell short or passed over the U-boat
for a time, but finally one struck the
submarine fairly in the center and she
disappeared immediately.
