REPUTED AIR HERD CHAMBERLAIN TRIES
 T0PR0VE RECORD

LONDON, March 29.- In the court martial proceedings today of Captain Edmund G. Chamberlain of San An tonic, Texas, in connection with his claims of noted aerial performances in company with British air forces last summer the defenseS cross -eXamina- tion of the famous British airman, Major R. s. Maxwell, commanding squadron 54 at Touquen at the time of Chamberlain's visit, indicated that an attempt would be made to show that Chamberlain had made an unof- ficial flight with the connivapce of some British pilot friend, disguising himself in the latter's flying clothes.
 Major Maxwell, who testified yes terday that Chamberlain flew no ma chine of his squadron, and that he did not know any of the British officers named in the reports of Chamberlains exploits, admitted today that it was possible for a visitor to get away on such "a flight, but said he had such confidence in his pilots that he was | certain he would be advised of any such incident, and furthermore, would be able to check up any Justification in a pilots report
 The defense brought out that the l witness had said to Captain Chamber l lain at Lille, where he had met him at the officers mess in January last:
 Aren't you the fellow that stole a l Camel (the name of machine) from l US at Touquin?" and also that he had ! told Lieutenant Commander r. B. Ali len, U. s. N. who had investigated the Chamberlain case, that no squadron | commander would admit having let l +Io n mean the loss of his majority and re- ! duction to the ranks.
 Major Maxwell could not remember whether he had told Commander Allen that he would like to help Chamber tlain, but could not. He knew of cases where pilots had claimed results that could not be verified officially.
 Major Maxwell promptly answered the volley of questions which were fired from both sides regarding the minute details of his Touquin air drome, his fighting machines and their equipment, flight operations, the topo- graphy of the front, the signalling used in flights and the work of the squad ron on the various days of Chamber lain's reputed visit to Touquin.
 The court has been greatly i'm pressed by the knowledge of this work and the exact information possessed by the royal air force witnesses and at the conclusion of Major Maxwell's testimony, the prosecution gravely asked the witness if he had ever taker a course in memory training. He wished to show in the record to ths reviewing authorities, he said, "wha- a remarkable witness the court hat before it"
 Captains G. H. Heakwill and V. s Bennett of the royal air forces, testi
 fled that certain parts of the repor of Chamberlain's flight were highl. improbable.

EXPORT ARMS FOR
 MEXICAN FEOERALS

ELI PASO, Texas, March 29.-Five thousand rifles, a quantity of ammu- hilton and other war elements will be crossed here tomorrow for the Mexi- can federal government in the north. The rifles and ammunition were shipped from an arms company in New Haven, Conn, and were made for the use of the American army over seas and never used.
 A special permit was said to have been issued by the State department for the exportation of these rifles and ammunition, which will be used in the campaign against Villas followers in Northern Mexico and to protect the American mining properties in the isolated districts frequented by Villa.
 It was said here tonight the rifles were permitted to be exported on con- dition that these foreign properties be protected against Villa, who threat ened to destroy them unless a ransom of s1,000,000 gold was paid him by these companies by March 1. None have yet been molested.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Removal of Postal Telegraph Cable company of ficials last week by Postmaster General Burleson was intended to pave the way for the increased telegraph rates an- nounced by him today, declared Will liam J.

 We now understand why week ago today Mir. Burleson seized all the tele- graph lines of the Postal Telegraph sys- tenn and turned out it's officials" said MT. Deegan- He knew we had re- fused to increase telegraph rates when the suggestion was made to us. It was impossible for the Western Union to increase it's telegraph rates unless we did likewise, because otherwise all the business would come to us at the lower rates"

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS LAW SET ]. $. TIME
 AHEAD LAST NIGHT
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Official time in every section of the country will move forward an hour at o'clock tomorrow morning, thus ushering in a second summer of daylight saving. The new time will remain in force until the last Sunday in October, when clocks will be moved back an hour.
 The change of time is made neces- sary by the daylight saving law passed by congress during the war and which still is in effect. Vigorous protests against it were made during the last congress by farmers organi- zations and the senate agricultural committee added a rider to the agri- cultural appropriation bill repeating the law but the supply measure was not acted upon.
 As was the case last March, the change is expected to he made before retiring with little or no inconvenience to anyone. The average person before retiring will set his watch or clock ahead an hour.
 Official clocks, however, will not be- advanced until o'clock. There will be no change in railroad schedules and working hours.
 Conservation experts say greater saving of time will be effected this year than last because individual ex- perience has shown many ways of taking the best advantage of the extra hour.- Estimates made last year by the fuel administration placed the total saving of coal through the operation at million and a quarter tons.
