Time Magic of
the Poles
BY GARRETT P. eERVIss.

Ever since l was a boy I have
been puzzled about something I
wish to ask you the solution of. II
understand correctly it is the same
time all along a given meridian.
Now. if that is so, what would be
the time at the Poles? II seems to
me that a man standing exactly at
the North or South Pole could have
one foot on the 6 o'clock meridian
and the other on the u o'clock
or any other meridian.-E. c. NJ"

BY following up unfrequented
paths of thought, as you have done
one Is often brought suddenly out
upon a new viewpoint from which
the ordinary landscapes of the mind
appear TO have undergone a magical
transformation. In this case you
find your familiar companion, the
hour of the day, unexpectedly turned
juggler, at one moment vanishing
and at the next appearing to be q
persons in one. The practical ex
PLANTATION is not very difficult.
Time although the metaphysicians
have had a terrible experience in
trying to describe it, is easily enough
comprehensive to common sense.
Everybody knows what is meant by
il. just as everybody knows what IS
meant by life. Practically. time IS
duration, or our sense of the con-
tinuance of things, and Of the sue
cession Of events.
No metaphysics can persuade you
that sunrise and sunset occur to-
gether. You are born with a belief
in time. and whenever you look at 4

Tired, Hungry, Apathetic Germany
Is an Easy Prey to Bolshevism
Red Flag Everywhere, Private Soldier Calls Officer
Comrade and Visitors to Berlin No Longer
Are Forced to Register With Police

BERLIN (Via Copenhagen), Nov. 23
(By The Associated Press).- Strange
are the experiences of traveller who
enters Germany after an absence of
several years. Formerly there we're
many and varied governmental orders
and restrictions to be obeved. Now
adays when you go to a police station
the desk sergeant will say sadly, "You
are not required to register any
lcngcr," and not even look at your
passport.
Another feature of the "new free
dom" in Germany which may dunn
found the traveller is that the private
soldier no longer salutes his superior
officers. The soldier calls his officer
"comrade"
Berlin outwardly is as orderly as
ever but order is no longer maintained
by policemen, but by soldiers with arm
bands as the badge of Office The pict-
ure is familiar to those who saw Petro-
grad during the Kerensky regime
The prevailing tone in Berlin is still
military, but it is miltarism Of pri-
Yates and commissioned officers.
Their symbol is the red flag, which
waves above every government buld-
