KEEP UP WAR ACTIVITIES
WITH MORE ZEAL THAN EVER

Atlanta.-lt is an undeniable fact
that the German peace offensive &C
complished at least one of its NUM-
erous purposes, which was to relax
the win-the-war spirit of the .Ameri-
can peaple. Fearing that there NAV
be slowing up in war activities of
all kinds over the state. owing to the
mistaken idea that the war is going
to end tomorrow or next day or next
week, the Georgia State Council of
Defense has issued the following
special appeal to county chairmen of
the CoppSil throughout the state;
1T is 81 prime Importance that the
receipt of the German note should
not in any way result in the slowing
down of our war activities. 1t is alb
solutely necessary to support the loan
and continue all other activities with
undated zeal. We may safely trust
the President to guard our interests
and direct our diplomacy. Our duty
is to give strength to his arms. He
will know how to use it"

TWENTY-FOUR HOUR CLOCK
FaVoring Change That Has Had
Many Advocates.

1t has been argued from time to time
for many years that the sensible way
TO measure time would be by using q
24-hour clock instead of dividing the
day into 12-hour periods, as has been
the custom from the time modern
clocks began to be built. 1t is consid-
cred that this would be especially de-
sirable for railroads, as it would avoid
confusion between a. m. and p. IN. and
make the understanding of time tables
much easier.
Now it is reported that the Swiss
Association for Geophysics, Meteor
ology and Astronomy has petitioned
the government 10 adopt the 24-hour
clock as the official means of meas
uring the day. The general staff of
xSSSiSSi ~ i - -
eral post office and the telegraph and
customs departments of the govern
ment have expressed themselves in ia
vor of the change.

CoIored SnoWstorns.

Colored snowstorms were recorded
rs long ago as the sixth century. and
shower of red hail is said by Hum
holdt to have once occurred in Paler
mo. In Tuscany on March IA. 1913,
there fell hail of an orange color. In
1903 red snow fell to a depth of over
five feet in Carniola. Austria. Some
of the scarlet snow was melted in a
vessel and the water evaporated. when
a fine, rose colorcd earthly SEDIMENT
was found at the bottom. Snow of
a brick red hue fell in Italy in 1916
and in the Tyrol in 1917. In the first
volume of Kane's Arctic exploration
IT is stated that when the ship pass

the patches of red snow, f.om which
they derived their names could be
seen at a distance of fully ten miles.

How China VIII Benefit.

The nations interested in the Boxer
indemnity who are at war with Ger
many aad Austria have, with the ex-
ception of Russia, agreed to the post
ponement OF the amount due by China
for a period of five years. Russia has
agreed to remit one-third of the
amount due to her. China thus gains
the use of S100,000,000 for five years,
and has the hope that the total amount
may be RENTED by and by. Whether
the postponement will be an actual
gain at this time Is questionable. since
exchange is so tremendously in China's
favor \ more distinct gain, per-
haps, Is the agreement of the allied
powers to permit China to raise her
customs dues to an effective five per
cent. As the present schedule of du
ties was compiled on the basis of
prices ruling in 1902 in so far as i'm
ports are concerned and in 1858 in the
case of exports the present revenues
