One quarter million tons OF coal
saved just by turning the clock ahead

effected by lessening the load on

The statistics for the seven mopths
that will end when the clocks are
turned back again at o'clock in the
morning OF October q indicate a
greater saving in America than was
effected in France in a period for
which statistics are available.

The buildings are of temporary con-
struction. Simple colonial designs
have been employed throughout. When
the trees and shrubs are placed, lawns
in, and the whole development has
had time enough to assume in some
degree an air of permaneney, the dis
trict will give the impression of an
American city during crown. colony
days. This effect will be strengthened
by cream tile facing and stucco ex-

WILSON OPENS
A new ERA
Presidents New York Ad-
dress Regarded as Rev.
olutionay.

President Wilson is believed to
have opened a new era in world af-
fairs and the dealings of nations with
one another in his historic speech in
New York last night.
At the capital yesterday there was
but one topic OF conversation-the
Presidents address. On every side IL
was acclaimed as the strongest and
most forceful utterance he has ever
made and one destined to make fu-
ture wars impossible. Throughout,
in addition, great satisfaction was ex-
pressed at the manner in which the
President hopes to achieve the aims
Of the war-a peoples war" as he
ssid-oy fighting for them.
The President, it was said. sounded
the death knell of old-time diplomacy
and ushered into being a heretofore
almost Utopian idea of how nations
should regulate their affairs, and
safeguard the cause Of humanity.
Call for Sshow Down"
His words were a plain call to allied
statesmen to lay their cards on the
table, as he has done. He asked them
particularly to correct him II they
think he is mistaken. 1t is believed
that the next week will see the adop-
ton of the Presidents program by
both Lloyd George and Premier
Clemenceau.
Both officials Of this government
and representatives here of the allied
governments were agreed yesterday
that the President, in language so
simple as to be understood by a child.
had set the world Alright on the mat
ter OF the war and what will come
after the war by interpreting the
feeling of the people OF not only the
United 6tates but the other Entente
allied nations.
The President also made the pro-
posal to form a league OF nations in
reality, and opposed in unmistakable
terms the formation of an economic
boycott. Everything he said. it was
declared yesterday, affirmed the fact
that the United States is lighting for
ideals; that it does not intend to
profit materially by the war. but that
it does intend the rights of individual
peoples and small nations shall be
safeguarded in the future.
Listen for Echo.
Oficial and diplomatic Washington
will now await with keen interest
the reply or the replies of both allied
and enemy statesmen, though the
only reply Of the latter that would
be considered would be an acceptance
Of the Presidents principles. and such
action Is not expected until Germany
and Austria are beaten to their knees.
The Presidents address, according
TO the view here. achieved just what
he hoped it would. 1t had a clarity
ing effect, it was said, destroying the
situation to which the President re-
ferred in these words:
The air every now and again gets
darkened by mists and groundless
doubling and mischievous perversions
OF counsel"
The President returned to Washing
ton yesterday afternoon, accompa-
MED by the same party, with the eX-
ception Of Joseph P. TUmulty. his
secretary. who remained in New
York, that was with him on the jour
ney to New York.
He was especially pleased, 1t Is
known, with the reception accorded
him in New York City, and also by
the tremendous enthusiasm there for
the Forthcoming liberty loan.
