On the Daylight Saving


ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June
Ii. Disapproyal of the daylight
saving plan was voted today by
the American Federation of La
Dor Convention when a resolution
was introduced asking tbs Fede-
ration to protest against the pro
posed repeal by Congress Of the
daylight law.
The resolution was called up
for action Immediately under sus-
pension of the rules. Timothy
Healy, president Of the Stationary
Firemen, fathered the resolution,
introduction of which followed
the arrival Of a representative Of
the Daylight Saving association
who said that unless there were
quick action here the repeal bill
probably would go through con-
Igress.
Defeat of the daylight saving
Idea was accomplished mainly by
1.-THE miners and the Ohio delega-
Ition. These had the aid Of Dele.
Igate Mccullough Of Des Moines.

three years ago the Federation

poipt of the bayonet. The worst
that even pessimists could say
was that the battle was a draw.
But it was only the second
phase; the third was about to beg
in.
At the Hindenburg Li,se.
1t is well known that for three
years the Hindenburg line, which
the Germans called sSiegfried'',
had been the real line of demarka-
ton between the latter and the
Allies. The Germans regarded it
as impregnable, and reinforced
daily, they had accumulated am
munition, constructed defenses,
and brought up a formidable
amount of material. In fact, they
had stripped GermanYeof all it's
war equipment in order to pile
it up in France and Belgium in
the sure protection of the linden
burg line.
On. Sept. 26 the Allies attacked
the Hindenburg line at different
points-the American army and a
French army in Champagne, a
French army and three British ar
mics in the Saint Quentin Cam
brai zone.
After eig{t days Of terrible
fighting the Allies succeeded in
breaking through the famous
lines, shattering them at every
point.
The German morale suddenly
collapsed, and on Oct. 4 Luden-
dorff, the Commander in Chief,
asked his Government to beg for
an armistice.
1t was too late, as the Allies
were progressing fast. Along the
whole front, from the Eseault to
the Meuse, their armies were eng
aged in widening the gaps, Great
ing fresh ones and precipitating
the German retreat. In Belgium a
French army, a British army and
the Belgian army were occupying
positions in the line, thus extend
| ing the battlefield as far as the
sea, at a moment when the Ger
mans were already lacking in
reserves to defend the vital sec
tors which were most threatened.
Everything gave way before this
formidable advance; successive
lines fell back within a few days
artillery fire gradually dimin-
ished, and on Nov. 6 the pursuit
became general, whole trains be-
/ ing captured in the Meuse Valley,
al Hirson, in Belgium, every
where.
1t was a real victory, complete
victory, one beyond all expecta-
Itions. Since the commencement

Noted London Costumer
Urges Less Nudity and

London, Aug. 9.-W. Reville,
noted costumer, rises up in his in
dignation to refute the charges that
the wearing of beads by women of
today IS a barbarism.
The ancient Egyptians wore
them, and they weren't .}ar-

when blocks of this frozen water

pionee, and who now lives in Dodge
county. near Fremont, and is now
past 80 years of age.
Mr.. kath was in Omaha last week
and during his stay visited at the
rooms Of the Douglas county Pho
neers' association, in the court
house. There he greeted some of the
old boys with incidents of the early
days, and they were early days in
Nebraska, for he claims to have come
west in 1856, when the country from
the Missouri river through to the
mountains was all known as the
territory of Nebraska. Getting
back to the ice, Mr.. Rath said:
Father and members of his fam
lily reached Omaha in in the spring
of 1857 and at the time there were
not more than 800 people living
here, but there was an ice house,
the property of George w. Forbes,
now dead. This man Forbes con-
ceived the idea that there would be
money in handling ice, so the fall
before, along the bluffs. probably
at about what would now be the foot
of Williams street, he had excavated
for an ice house. He rooted it over
with cottonwood logs and hauled up
quantities of sawdust from a mill
that operated near where Gibson is
now located. When winter came
and the river froze over, Forbes
commenced packing ice. He filled
his cave, sealed IT and sat around
waiting for the coming of spring and
warm weather. Both came but no
customers came tor ice.
You see the people of those days
had not been educated to taking cool
drinks and they had little use for
ice in summer. Ice cream, sodas
and those fancy things had never
been thought of and here about all
there was to drink was whisky, tea
coffee and water. The majority of
the Omaha people preferred their
Liquor straight" They had not
been taught to drink iced tea and
coffee and cool we'll water was good
enough. The outcome of the stu
alton was that long before summer
was over, Forbes was inviting the
people to call at his ice house and
carry his ice away, free of charge,

SCREEN CRITICISM
BY Maurice Tourneur

DHOTOPLAY criticism? There
IS little or none. If ever a
form of amusement needed crit
lclsm, it is the photoplay. Not SO
much the pictures as a whole, but
each feature.
Criticism of pictures as uni;
gives but one or two mems views
and is therefore unhealthy. Crit
clsm by number of critics on a
number of pictures forms the foun-
datlon of universal opinion and is
more sound.
Persons who criticise pictures are
divided into three classes, those who
write laudatory notices in accord
ance with set policy of not offend
ing the theater men ii. e., the ad-
vertisers); those who use scissors
and paste on the notices furnished
them by the manufacturers; public
ity writers, and those who indulge
in occasional honest criticisms. The
last named are few and far between,
and even then some of them are
often warped in their judgment by
certain narrow views which they be-
lleve to be moral"
Candid criticism is severely handi.

Then again, most of the so-called
critics are not entitled to criticise.

of screen work; they are unable to

MEXICAN PAPERS
DISCRED|T TALE
OF NATIONS DEBT
Say Articles Printed in U. S.
Regarding Huge Indebted
ness of Mexico "WhoIly
Inaccurate"

Washington, Aug. 9-Mexican
newspapers reaching Washington
contain long articles declaring that
recent figures as to the Mexican
public debt, published i'll the United
States, are wholly Inaccurate" In
this connection financial experts
here said comparison of the unotfl-
clal figures published in this coun-
try with the figures given out by the
Mexican treasury department show
no great discrepancy.
The official Mexican figures as to
the external loan debt of the coun-
try are $l43,472,00O with interest to
the end of this month placed at $45,-
100000. The unofficial figures as re-
Gently published placed this total at
Sl73,4 100000. The apparent differ
ence, experts here said, is made up
mostly by the $30,O00,OO0 of the
Huerta loan, fioated in France under
authorization of the Mexican con-
gress, but repudiated by the Car
rama government.
lC III lodH uCDt Vi NISNiAo'
according to the official statement is
500 ,597 900 and interest to June 80,
OF $17,914,000. The unofficial report
gave this debt as $66,6ll 900 and in
tcrest of $l4,530,000
Washington financial experts say
the Mexican treasury statement fails
to account for all the guaranteed
railroad indebtedness which the I'M
official report figures at $500, 800, 900;
the obligations other than railroads
which the Mexican government has
guaranteed, the chief of which is the
farm loan banks debts, which, with
interest to June 30, totals $3l $780,
coo; the "infalsihcable" issue of pa
per money of which $80,000,000 at
10 cents, United States currency. is
still outstanding, making a total of
SS,000,000 more, or the $20,0O0,0O0
which Carranza took as loan"
from the banks of issue in Mexico
City.
The fact that Mexico has paid no
interest OF its fore. gn debt since
1915, also is kept in the foreground
by Washington experts, who, for the
State department, are keeping a
close watch on the financial condi-
ton of Mexico. Experts here also
assert that the Mexican government
has used the entire income of the
railroads and express companies
without accounting and with no ad-
mission of responsibility.

Concerted Military and Naval
Move Now Being Prepared
to End Russian

The London Daily Express.
On the Russo Finnish Frontier
Aug. 9.-(Via London.l-I have
been privileged to learn the general
! lines of the forthcoming attack on
Petrograd, which, in the opinion of
those who have prepared to carry
out the plans, stands an excellent
chance of success.
The plaus involve cooperation
from various points and timely &C
ton by various forces should in
sure speady and complete success.
Credit for the plans is due to the
British. AS a result of the recent
conferences between British naval
and military chiefs, it was decided
to put an end to the inertia in Ger
tain quarters and secure success.
Abandon Hopeless Task.
The hopeless task of trying direct
operations from Helsingfors has
,een ordered discontinued. Admiral
Cowan, the British fleet commander,
drew up the plans in conjunction
with Generals Cough, Yudenich and
Pitkoff, commanding the Esthon-
ians, and they involve action by
land, sea. air and from the subma-
/. rine bases
(Note-The above is the first men
ton of General Cough having a
command in Russia. 1t is not GER
tain whether this Is the General
Cough who commanded the British
!. Fifth army during the German
spring drive last year, and who was
later relieved of his command be-
cause of the utter collapse of his
troops, though subsequently many
expert military voices were raised in
his defense.)
The recent bombing of Kronstadt
by British airplanes tends to con-
firm the plans. The Esthonians are
ready to commence operations for
the first time since the beginning of
the campaign. If there is no hitch,
the action against Petrograd should
begin this month.
Reds Are Uneasy.
Direct and reliable news from
Pctrograd shows the bolsheviki are
made uneasy by the attacks on
Kronstadt, and the expectation of
"a march on Petrograd. The Kron-
stadt forces have been greatly re-
duced.
(Note: Kronstadt is the naval
fortress defending Petrograd.)
The road To Petroprad is nr,c-
tically open, due to the withdrawal
of troops by the bolsheviki. The
population is in dire straits. There
is literally no food in the city and
the guards themselves are suffering.
Two incidents of famine just have
been reported.
A mysterious disease is rampant,
killing its victims within three
