Severe criticism of the Democratic

with a vigorous defense of the Repub-

ator Chas. E. Townsend, in his speech
as temporary chairman.
Senator Townsend charged the ad-
ministraion with inexperiences, inef.

that although President Wilson told
congress politics had adjourned, Dem

peace and war should be known to the
people; it is their business and all

gagged and some of the most reliable
news concerning the war comes to us
through Canadian papers. The admin
istration issues newspaper in charge
of man who has been known for
years as socialist, and it is a proven
fact that gross falsehoods have been
knowingly published by him."

Committee Urges Support.

Committee Urges Support.
The Wayne county committee is
sued the following statement today
relative to the first days drive:
Wayne county's quota of $2,400 900
cannot be attained in the three days
fixed for the campaign, unless sub
scriptions received today and toEnor-
row are much larger as whole than
those Of yesterday. Many of the
township organizations seem to lack
appreciation of the real seriousness
of the situation; others have gone for
ward without urging and have their
quotas in sight. In the City of Rich
mond the results were more encour-
aging. the volume of subscriptions for
the day, probably reaching $425 900,
though only about $324,0O0 were re-
ported to the banks for the city and
Wayne township.
ut is apparent from a review of
many subscription blanks, in the city
and in the country, that the subscrib-
ers' conscience was not the guide
They did not buy Liberty bonds in pro-
portion to their ability to do So On
the other hand there were hundreds
of men and women whose subscrip-
tions were such as to indicate that
they had gone to their utmost limit in
their investment in war securities.

many persons still insist that they
are giving something to the govern

much to do with the luke-warmness Of

An analysis or the returns or the
first day, as made by the county COM
mittee, indicates that the City of Rich
mond came up to expectations for the
first day, but that outside of the city
there were but four or five townships
that reached anywhere near the
amount expected. In three townships
the township soliciting committees
failed altogether to get into the field
and where subscriptions were made
representing these townships they
came directly through the banks.
Townships Report.
In others, township committees had
not been able to get in touch with
their field workers, hence could not
give any definite idea of the results
for the day. .
In several townships, however, the
work was surprisingly good and no
doubt exists as to the ability of such
townships to reach their quotas in
good time.
1t is regarded by the county COM
mittee as quite certain that scores
of men Of wealth who have failed to
respond to the extent of their ability,
will be asked to supplement their sub
scriptions with larger ones. Some per-
sons have sought to evade the solicit
ing committees altogether, or have
declined to subscribe on one pretext
or another. There is no question, the
committee announced today, that the
government does not expect subscrip-
tions from any citizen who is absolute
ly unable to buy bonds, but it does
expect and what is more to the point
in going to insist that every person
who can buy Liberty Bonds shall do
SO in keeping with his ability.
In connection with the first days
work, the record of the women solicit
ors in Richmond and in all townships
where there was real activity, is wor-
thy of special notice. A big proper
ton of the sales was due to the wom-
ems committees. They were on the
job in Richmond from early morning
until late at night and they were back
on the job this morning. According to
the Wayne county committee, the big
task ahead would not be possible of
achievement if the women workers
were not enlisted in the cause.
The following is the report Of the
wards for Wednesday,:

All Clocks to be Set Ahead One Hour
on March 31st
Estimated That Savings Will Run Into
Millions of Dollars
as Result.

President Wilson has signed
the Daylight Saving Bill and on
March 31st and 2 a. m. every
clock in the United States will
be pushed ahead one hour and
the American people will begin
getting one hour earlier in the
morning and going to bed one
hour earlier each night.
The daylight savings law goes
into effect on March 31st and
the clocks will not be pushed
back again until Sept. 1st.
The saving as a result of the
law will be principally through
electricity burned and fuel used
in manufacturing the current.
Gas companies will also suffer as
a result of the bill.
Daylight saving is now in vogue
in most the European countries
and as a result much extra work
has been accomplished and the
savings has run into millions of
dollars.
