Too Many Strikes.

A serious interruption in the
shipbuilding program has
been reported to the shipping
board from Baltimore where
the workers who are demand
ing more wages, left the hulls
of the ships upon which they
had been employed. This con-
dition among the shipbuilding
carpenters has reached the
point where it does seem that
the government would no lon
ger temporize with these men,
but would take every necessary
step to see to it that they full
fill their patriotic duty in help
ing to win this war. The young
men of the country have been
drafted, they are in the war
whether they want to be or
not, and no man should be per-
mitted to use his own pleasure
in performing any task he IS
capable Of performing, if, in so
doing, he may in the least jeop-
ardize the lives Of the young
men who are being offered on
the altar of their country. Let
the CONSUMPTION act be extend
ed to every age and every class,
if need be, to put at the COM
mand of the government every
man necessary to win this war
in the shortest possible time.
Every five minutes of war
means the life of some young
man, and the man out OF the
trenches should be made to
perform his full duty just as
the man in the trenches is ex-
pected and required to do. The
government cannot afford to
handle this labor question with
velvet hands any longer. Up
and at 'em, just as the boys in
the trenches are going after
the Germans.

The plans practicability and eff
fciency have been effectively demon
strated in ~ European countries.
Advocates of the plan in present
ing their cast to Congress explained
that the following beneficial results
would be achieved by the system.
A great saving of illuminants,
such as oil, gas and electric power.
Marked conservation of coal.
Increased manufacturing produc-
ton as the result of improvement in
working conditions.
General benefits to the national
health because of an additional hour
of daylight which may be devoted to
recreation.
Reduction in the cost of living to
some who can raise garden truck for
domestic consumption; and improve
ment of the training conditions for
the fighting forces.

France had endured. During the first
terrible days of the war her soul was
tried unto death in a long, dishearten-
ing retreat. Then came the word!
the retreat is over, victory or defeat.
The rivers Of France were redeemed
with the blood of her children, but
victory it was.> In all her trials
France had her greatest asset in the
sympathy of the United States,
whose sons and daughters hurled
themselves into the cause by thous-
ands during the early years of the
war. France could not forget that
the United States was a sister repub-
lie, born when France was reborn,
and her faith was justified when
America entered the conflict.
Lieutenant Perigord related many
stirring, humorous and pathetic Incl
dents of the war; told simply and
modestly how he himself had assum-
ed command of his army when all
the officers were killed, thereby Win
ming his commission; related the I'M
failing goodhumor with which the SOL
diers underwent the privations and
inconvenience of trench life and de-
picted dramatically an incident of the
terrible Verdun battle, when a bri-
gade of French, 5000 strong, held
Fort Souville against four German
attacks after undergoing three days
bombardment and clouds of gas,
thereby saving the day for France.

Early to Bed.

President Wilson has signed
the daylight saving bill"
which puts all clocks forward
an hour on Sunday, March 81.
After that date we are expect
ed to rise one hour earlier and
retire an hour earlier at night.
The purpose of the measure
as outlined when the bill was
before congress is t %oconserve
fuel and illuminants, such as
oil, gas and electrict power and
thus conserve coal, to increase
manufacturing production OF
the country and to add to the
general benefit of the health
of the people generally, and to
give the man with a job in the
house an opportunity to get out
and work his garden or patch
in the afternoon.
The government expects ev-
erybody to observe this meas
ure and thus aid in winning
the war. It is a patriotic move
we should go back to the days.

ed that "early to bed and early
to rise makes a man healthy,

DAYLIGHT SAVING
BILL BECOMES LAW

Washington, March 19.-The day.
light saving bill was signed today by
President Wilson. 1t puts all clocks
forward an hour on the last Sunday
in March and turns them back again
the last Sunday in October.
The daylight saving plan will go
into effect and be observed without
the slightest disorganization or i'm
pairment of existing conditions.
Trains will be run as usual, and ev-
cry feature of daily life into which
the element of time enters will remain
unchanged.
Before retiring on the last Satur-
day of this month, the American
householder will set his clock an hour
ahead, and then may go to sleep and
forget entirely about daylight saw
ing until the last Saturday of Octo-
Der. On that date he will reserve the
process, turning back the hands Of
the clock an hour and the next day
the nation again will run on "sun
time"
In the summer, the American man
actually viii rise, transact his daily
business and retire an hour earlier
than has been his custom, but with
his clock an hour fast he will not
know the difference. An hour Of
daylight thus will be conserved in the
afternoon,

Greetings From France.

0feeIlHES II OH
81 am bringing you greetings from
the French army-that heroic organ
.izaticn that has come through the
battles of the Marine, of Ypres, OF
Verdun that has suffered appalling
losses, with more than a million
missing from its ranks, but which
stands today undaanted and u~nafrald
presenting a living bulwark to the
Prussian hordes, an ~insuperable bar
Irier to the Prussisn dream of world
domination. In three long, weary
years we have had but one fear;
that the great sister republic across
the waters would rot realize in time
the true issues of the war and come
to pick up the banner of liberty and
freedom should it fall from the ex-
hausted hand Of an ally. Then one
beautiful morning there was a new
flag in the trenches and in a mighty
voice there swells up from the Adri-
attic to the Atlantic the cry: Long
live the United States
Frances Suffering.
The United States would never
know, declared the speaker, what

woman charges that when they near

to the ground and choking her. She
attributed her escape to the light of a

she fought with Evarts, who released

After telling the police that she
could identify her asailant, Mrs. Har-
