Daylight Saving Law Makes
Change in Originally
Announced Time.
NOT VISIBLE
AT PENSACOLA
Leesburg and Orlando Are
Points of Suns Visibil-
ity in Florida.

Denver, Colo, May 12.-The total
eclipse of the sun forecast to occur on
June 8 has been postponed for one
hour This is not the result of any
error in the calculations of the astron-
omers nor is it due to an order of a
modern Joshua that the sun stand still,
but is chargeable to the operations of
the daylight saving law as result of
which the clocks throughout the United
States were set forward an hour on
March 81.
In consequence the eclipse will be-
gin in Denver at Alp p. m, will become
total at 5:22 p. m, will pass from to-
tality at pa p. m, and Will end at
6 :27. The same variation in the hours
of the eclipse will prevail throughout
the length of the fifty mile belt. ex-
tending from the southeastern corner
of Washington state to the coast OF
Florida, in which the total eclipse will
be visible.
This change in hours will not affect
the astronomers, however. as their
clocks are still adjusted to standard
sun time.
Preparations for observing the eclipse
the first total eclipse OF the sun visi-
BILE in the United States since 1900 and
the last until 1923, are going ahead
rapidly at the University of Denver OBJ
servatory, where astronomers from
Yerkes observatory will make their OBJ
servations. Professor Edwin B. Frost
of the Yerkes observatory at Green
Bay, Wis, recently notified Dean Her.
bert A. Howe, head of the department
of astronomy at the University of Dem
Yer, that several shipments of specially
prepared instruments are en- route.
Professor Frost is expected here in the
middle of May to begin installing this
equipment.
One of the principal pieces of appa-
ratus is a special spectrosccpe to be
attached to the 2f-inch telescope at the
Denver observatory with which to pho
tograph the suns chroma. Opportunity
to photograph the corona is afforded
only during a total eclipse and astron-

LONDON, Sept 2i.-Count von Hertling, the German imperial chan cellor, addressing the main committee of the Reichstag today declared that the public Qiscontent in Germany was not justified by the military situation on the western front, according to a dispatch from Berlin.

 We never lost courage he said but showed our enemies what a yeso- lute will to victory could do.
 How do things stand now? We have peace with Russia and Rumania land even though conditions in Russia are not yet clear and the future ar- pears uncertain, nevertheless the for mer menace from two sides has dis appeared and a considerable part oi our men of the Eastern army csn be employed in the vest
