Col. Hugh s. johnson is to re-

Gen March, acting Chief of STAFF, is
expected within the next few days
to issue an order outlining the new

ported in army circles that the
change would give him higher rank.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
last night stated that he would pay
more personal attention to the
draft work pending the selection
of a successor to Col johnson. Gen.
Crowder was silent on the reason
for Col. Johnson's transfer. He

daylight saving.
The ancient Romans divided their
period of daylight into twelve di-
visions Of equal length. which they
called hours, and according to the
time Of year these hours varied from
about forty-five to seventy-five min
utes each. The various occupations
Of the day were arranged with refer
ence to sunrise. The Romans well
coined the rising sun. and shut their
doors and turned their backs on the
setting sun. They were very early
risers. A school boy was often on his
way to school. munching his break

Many men got up in the middle OF the
night to start the days work.
The result was that the Romans &C
complished a great deal of work in
long morning. leaving the afternoon
for recreation, exercise and care oil
the health.
In the afternoon, the prominent
men of the day invariably took ex'

Battle signs are faring up on the
Verdun front. Thre strong German

Germany's most famous artillery

to take the big French fortress

HOLLAND GIVES
OUT VIEWS ON
SHIP SEIZURE
Publishes Protest Against
Action by United States
and Allies.

The State Department and the Duteh
Legation were yesterday informed
that the Netherlands government had
printed in the oniciaI gazette at Ths
Hague its reply TO the proclamation
and statement OF President Wilson IN
taking over the Dutch ships. The
Legation here had been
officially informed OF its governments
intention 10 take this Gtep. but has
as yet received no copy OF the state
ment for transmission 10 this govern
ment. II il sugGested that Holland
will content itself with the publication
In the official gazette. This. Il is ex-
planned s the governments usual
method Of making public all its Actr.
Despite the fact that the press ac-
counts Of the statement received here
indicate that the Dutch government
differs with the United States and
Great Britain on the legality aud the
friendliness OF the action IN requiEi-
tioning the ships. officials here insist
that the legal position OF the United
States is unAssailable. Holland Is
understood 70 protest against the seiE-
ure OF the ships en- masse and TO their
arming. Both these arguments were
considered in the negotiations, the fall
ure OF which resulted in the requiEi-
ton.
II Is felt here that when Holland
fully realizes that the United States
has taken full care OF the Dutch food
allowance and Dutch colonial TRADE
the feeling that the reQuisitioninE Of
the ships is unfriendly viii die away.
There 10 no possibility Of any
change IN the action OF the United
States, Il IL officially stated. The
ships are already seized and many Of
them are in service.
The press accounts Of the Dutch
statement, as received here last night,
are not considered complete by efther
the State Department or the Legation
and neither would comment formally
on the situation.
