SET YOUR CLOCKS

There is apparently much misun-

ule. IAN. hour earlier" to care for
workers getting down town "an hour

Department stores and business

The effect of the daylight saving

Official time will be an hour ahead
of the actual sun or meridian time.
Every one of the normal functions
OF life will be performed on the same

The only difference is that the Of

rise and set an hour later by the ma

flesting shadow when he tackled
Mike.
As a boy Donovan worked as ap-
prentice to a ship carpenter and the
hard toll gave him a wonderfully
muscled upper body. Throughout his
long life he was vigorously temperate
and the result was that at seventy
four, with good lungs and arteries
and flexible muscles. he was still able
to show brilliantly with the gloves
against men OF a third of his age. He
began to fight when the prize ring was
a savager institution that II is in these
softened days. London prize ring
rules regulated the combats and men
fought with bare knuckles to a finish.
In 1865, when Mike was twenty-five
years of age and just beginning to
acquire a local reputation for clever
ness, he met, IN his second or third
fight, Billy Crowley at Pittsburgh,
winning decisively, and thereafter
for twenty-five years, during which
he won and held the middleweight
championship, no man was big enough
or clever enough to put him out"
Four years after he retired, unde-
feated, from the championship he
met the celebrated Jack Dempsey,
Dempsey the "Nonpareil," the new
middleweight champion.

CAREY SUCCEEDS HONUS
AS CHIEF OF PIRATES

As Honus Wagner has retired, Max
Carey will be the field captain of the
Pirates this year. Carey will receive
$4,000 in salary for playing center
heId and $500 extra for leading the
players.
But when It comes down TO cases
Carey will have little or nothing to
say, inasmuch as Manager Hugo
Bezdek possesses oratoricaI powers
that will be used TO convince umpires
that they have made mistakes.
Carey probably has been appointed
captain In order to let him draw some
nnore money. He has made an annual
kick for increased salary ever since

ANTEGERMANISM

PETRoGRAD, March 27.-German
Foreign Minister Kuehlmann, reply
ing to a protest, declared Germany
was justified in sending armed forces
irto Finland, on the grounds OF Amer
lean Ambassador Francis statement
regarding Americas readiness to as
sist in regaining the status quo, In
violation OF the Brest Litovsk peace
treaty.
Members Of the Russian Soviets re-
piled that Francis merely repeated
President Wilson's message TO which
ratification OF the. treaty furnished n
rejoinder.
AntI-Germanism throughout Russia
is more intense than at any time since
the beginning of the war.
Ukrainian Territory.
Ruehlmann, replying to a protest
against German occupation OF Odessa,
declared Odessa is in Ukrainian terri
tory. After the Russians recaptured
Odessa 1000 workmen in Charkoff
$3.50 miles northeast OF Odessa and
250 miles east of Kieff), resolved to
disregard the Soviet's order to evac-
uate and decided to defend the city
to the last. They alos began remov-
ing big stores of metals.
Re-enforcements are being rushed
from Smolensk (250 miles west OF
Moscow. to Orsha (75 miles west OF
Smolensk). They also are being sent
from Suma to Oroshba to check the
Ukrainian German advances against
Charkoff. In addition to the advance
on Charkoff, the enemy Is seeking to
cut of the Soviet forces from Poltava,
(T5 miles west and south of Char
kon).

Demands Modified.
After a battle near Niznednie-Pro-
vsk, sixty versts (30.6 miIes) from
Ekaterinoslav (39 miles south of Pol
tava), the Soviet forces retreated.
Former workmen are organizing for
the defence of Ekaterinoslav. The
Germans have modified their demands
for Ukrainlan supplies. n. Grushe-
sky has urged the members of the
Rada who resigned to return to that
body, admitting that while the neace
treaty favors Germany. resistance
will result in wiping out Ukrainian
independence.
Advices indicate the Ukrainisn peo-
pie are increasingly sympathetic to-
ward the Russian revolution. and
may rise against both Germany and
the Rada. The newspaper, Den, edi-
toriaIly urges Russia to return to
the war by the side OF the allies. The
Investia urges warfare against Ger
many but independently for the So
cialIstic fatherland and an Interna-
tional Socialist revolution"
