PunIshments and Maehfne-Gun Stunts,
Soon after my arrival IN France; in
fact, from my enlistment, I had found
that in the British army discipline is
very strict. One has to be very care
full in order to stay on the narrow path
of government virtue.
There are about seven million ways
Of breaking the kings regulations; to
keep one you have to break another.
The worst punishment is death by o
firing squad, or up against the wal" "
as Tommy calls it.
This Is for desertion, cowardice, mu-
tiny, giving information to the enemy,
looting, rape, robbing the dead, forcing

Then comes the punishment Of sixty

INTERRUPTION.
CLOCKS AND WATCHES
SET; TRAINS HOUR LATE
Railroads Start on New Schedule To-
Iay-Little Confusion Results in Any
Industry and Daylight Saving Plan
Apparently Will Be Great Success
Night Workers Gain Hour.

Des Moines, April 1.--What is one
hour more or less when you have many
OF them to spend, was the general feel
ing Of the people OF Iowa when the
government required them to drop
sixty minutes from their time early
yesterday morning.
When the railroads over the entire
state changed their time at o'clock
Sunday morning, they practically
changed the time for the entire state.
Railroad telegraph insrum snts clicked
the new time to every village and ham
let in the state and within five min
utes thousands OF railroad watches had
been adjusted TO come under the pro-
visions of the daylight saving law.
The railroads were probably most
affected of any industry in the state
when il came TO changing time. A
difference OF few seconds in watches
is liable to cost thousands OF lives and
destroy many dollars worth Of prop
erty, said one railroad official, and a
change Of an hour was fraught with
many possibilities for disaster.
No Railroad Accident Reported.
To prevent any accidents, all trains
were stopped at the nearest telegraph
office reached before time changed and
held until It could be ascertained that
the watches Of the train crew had been
property adjusted AZ a testimony to
the care with which railroad men made
adjustment Of their schedules, not an
accident was reported over the entire
state as a result Of me time shift
People IN the cities began changing
their time early Saturday night. Be
fore midnight street clocks had been
moved an hour forward and just after
O'Clock men were busy resetting self
winding clocks over the cities. Night
workers discovered their work was an
hour shorter.
Little, II any. confusion resulted from
the change in time and the daylight
saving plan starts as a great Success.
