piIota TO shape their course anew when
the weather is bad or the clouds are
very low The balloons also mark the

make 2 forced landing he is expected to

phone, 20 the nearest wireless station
so that motor truck can be despatched
to recover the mails and render assist

As it is the intention OF the ROYAL
Air Force 10 maintain a night mail

houses also has been established and
later, it is announced the balloons will
be fitted for carrying signal lights and
remaining aloff ut night as a further

Should a pilot lose his way in the
clouds, arrangements have hcen made
whereby he will be able to get in com
munication with wireless station from

This wireless guidance is expected t.
be useful in bad weather or in night

yesterday under the signature OF the di-
rector-general, Walker Hines, and A H..
Smith, Eastern regional director, relayed
the mandate in these parts.
One assumes that here will be no alb
sent mindcdness on the part of conduct
ors, engineers and train despatchers in
the middle OF the night OF March % 9TH.
,eIWise travelling by rail might be expect
ed to produce startling results. However,
Dnector-General Illness order is specific
to the last degree. He says. first. that
at 2 am Sunday, March 80. all clocks
and watches in train despatchers' offices
and in all other offices open at the time
must be advanced one hour to indicate
3 am. and that the reverse change must
be made at . am. on the last Sunday in
October so as TO indicate l am.
In all offices railroad employees are or
dered to compare time with the train des.
patcher the instant the change is made
Each railroad is directed to issue neces-
sary Instructions and to~5frange for such
supervision and check of the watches of
/ Its employees as VIII insure that they lave
been properly changed to conform with
the daylight saving law. Owing to va
rious conditions which will prevail on the
railroads it is not advisable, the director
general notes, to issue a uniform rule or
order covering all Of the details involved
| in the movement of trains at the period
the change in standard time goes into
effect Therefore it is left to each rail-
froad to adopt such measures as will safe
guard the movement of trains
| The order goes into effect indefinitely
until the federal daylight saving statute
shall be repealed
Similar directions or orders have been
or will be issued by all other government
departments and bureaus, and citizens in
business affairs and private life will re.
/ adjust theirstimepieces accordingly.

ALL EGYPT IN
VIRTUAL REVOLT
British Military Secretary Defends
Compulsory Service Bill-Govern-
ment Has Had to Appeal to Nearly
Demobnized Men to Return.

LONDON, March % ASSOCIATED
Press .-Defending the military service
bill in the house of commons yesterday,
Winston S. Churchill, secretary of war,
declared that the whole of Egypt was
in a virtual state of Instruction
The position was so dangerous, he
added, that the government had to ap-I
peal to men on the point of demohiliza-
ton to return and save their comrades
from being murdered.
This declaration by the war secretary
was brought about by the remarks of
Sir Donald MacLean, who had said that.
Great Britain was grossly over-insured.
with respect to the strength of the
army. Mr. Churchill asked if he fob
lowed what was taking place in almost
every country at the present time, and,
if 50, how he could say there was over
Insurance in keeping 100000 men for
every purpose, including 10 divisions on.
the Rhine and four divisions III the
home country less than the number kept
here in the peaceful days before the
war.
| Had Sir Donald read Of what was
taking place on the Black Sea, in Hum
gary and on the whole frontier of those
small states which were guaranteed
protection by the league Of nations2
Sir Donald had said. continued The
secretary. that the German army was
TO be reduced TO 100000 men and that
/ the Germans were TO have no Boy
Scouts. That, the speaker asserted,
was what the allies We're going to de-
mand. But had the Germans agreed TO
il. and was there any chance of their
agreeing to it if the allies Invested
themselves Of all their forces at the
present timee
!" The government, said the seere-
tary, "'has to face the real facts. II
we squandercd our forces at the pres.
ent time before our terms are secured
with European conditions Of increasing
gravity and perplexitv. then we should
throw away With both hands all the re-
suits gained by the sacrifices of the mil
lions OF our men during four years.
The Liberal opposition had proposed
q series OF amendments to the military
service bill which Mr.. Churchill de
clared were intended to wreck the bill
He said the government had tried an'
would try every means under the vol
untarv system Unless men were -
: cured for two. three or four wears, i
would he impossible to relieve terrific
rial aud other troops in India, and else
where, who ought TO have effective re
