AS we understand it now, the clocks
will have to be set forward another
hour on March 80, which viii. mean
that we will be getting up before day
again and will eat our evening meal
in the middle, Of the afternoon. Since
we have been put in Eastern time
1t has pushed us to get up at time
when we could look the clock in the
face unashamed, and now Just as the
sun is beginning to conform in q
measure to our time, we are to have
the clocks jumped forward another
hour. We do not know whether any
thing can be done about it, but we
object to this constant attempt to
make a monkey of Old Father Time,
Il there is any way to reach the
powers that be we hope an earnest
protest will be made against the
proposed robbery Of another hours

This paper notes with satisfaction
that the County Commissioners have
made an appropriation to employ q
citrus expert to. aid in directing the
great citrus industry of Polk, which
represents perhaps one-half the cit
rus interests Of the State. Through
the advice and Offices of this spe-
cialist, better and brighter fruit may
be grown and the reputation Of the
Florida product be enhanced. It is
an expenditure which Is scarcely
drop in the bucket compared with the
immense benefits that it may bring.

Orlando papers declare that the
greatest need of that city is COM
munity building, and the same state
ment is made from many other places.
In no place is there opposition to such
a building the people being only too
thankful when public-spirited- indi-
vsduals or organizations take up the
work Of procuring it. Lakeland has
an opportunity to secure such a
building, through the energy and
push Of those who are always trying
tc build and to promote the public
good and every citizen should give
this project encouragement and back
ing.

MAY CONF|SCATE
 LARGE ESTATE
Dr. steinberger Left $25,. 291.50 Nine Tenths Goes
 to Enemy Relatives.

Dr. Maurice Steinberger who died ln this city on December 31, left an estate valued at S25,291.50 according to an inventorly filed with Probate Judge Paul Miller today by Andrew Duka, H. A. Neumann and John Deg so; the executors Louis A. Kornblut and Frank Jacoby were the apprais- CTS.
 Nine-tenths. of the entire estate will go to A. Mitchell Palmer, enemy property custodian, as it is estimated that at least $20,000 was to be divid- ed among seven brothers and sisters of the deceased. All of the heirs now reside in Kalocsa, Hungary, and Judge Miller said today it was pos sible the money would be confiscated if Austria-Hungary is forced to pay a huge indemnity at the end of the peace negotiations or if Hungarian n authorities were found to have con fiscated that amount of American property.
 Dr. Steinberger in his will directed that his body be shipped to Hungary for burial. At present it is in a vault at Mountain Grove cemetery and whether the executors will be able to send it to war-torn Europe is a ques- ton not easily answered.
 The estate consisted mainly of cash in banks and personal effects Real estate holdings totalled .$S,500, and the deceased had $1,500 in Liberty bonds and s5 war stamp.

WILL FIX NEW TERMS FOR HUNS
Germans More and More Forgetting Their
 Position.

Paris, Feb. 7.---(By The Associated Press )---The Allied Premiers, who will meet this afternoon as the Su- preme Inter-Allied War Council, prob ably will fix new terms to be imposed upon Germany, whose tactics of ob- struction and recrimination are said to have reached a climax in a threat made at Weimar by Chancellor Ebert that Germany would break off nego- tiations with the Allies.
 The feeling in Peace Conference cir cles is that the Germans are more and more forgetting their position, and it is expected that the Supreme War Council will take measures to bring them to a sense of the realities.
 Marshal Foch will go to Treves on February IT to fix the conditions for third renewal of the armistice and the discussion of the conditions to be imposed probably will take up mos
 of the time of the Supreme War
 Council session today,
 It is understood that the counci will fix brief time within which the
 Germans must carry out the condi tions they have fulfilled only in part III lIllS respect IL IlOI6u llIdt llOus of the German merchant ships whicf
 were to have been sent to certain i Allied ports have yet been handed | over.
 French opinion considers that tht occupation of Essen is of first neces
 sity if the Allies are to contro! Ger
 many's principal war factories. Pub ] lie opinion in France also is asking if the Supreme War Council is goins l to allow Field Marshal von linden 1 burg to establish himself in Brom berg and prepare a campaign agains 1 Poland, which can be supplied onl! | through Danzig.
 The Supreme Council also will if l the size of the contingents of France | Great Britain, the United States ant l Allied nations in the armies of occu
 patton, both in Europe and Asia.

 The step was taken after confer ences of producers and labor repre- sentatives and government officials who were unanimous, the secretary said, in recommending it.
 General unemployment and indus trial depression were threatened, Sec retary RedfeId said, by the waiting tendency noticed in nearly all indus fries due to doubt as to the trend of prices, and it was decided that if someone having official sanction could determine the price levels for ths tse yernnlent itself this would furnish

last night. President Wilson presided at the meeting.
 The only article not approved was the paragraph concerning abolition of compulsory military service unless required by reason of national de- fense under extraordinary circum- stances. Premier Orlando of Italy opposed the paragraph, remarking that if conscription once was abolish ed an attempt to revive it might lead to serious trouble, even a revolution Leon Bourgeois, one of the French members, joined Premier Orlando ir strongly opposing the abolition of conscription. He declared that France, owing to her geographical position. needs a standing army and could never consent to strip herself of her defenses. The paragraph war then cancelled and 1t was decided tC leave to each country freedom to se- lect a system of recruiting its forces up to the amount of troops which will be fixed later by the Society ot Nations.
 Another article, which caused ani. mated discussion was that concerning the method of applying military 'coer. Cion to the countries refusing to com. ply with the decision of the Society oi Nations or breaking it's rules. Owing to the very conflicting views express ed, the commission decided to post. pone definite decision until another meeting. The commission will mee again tonight.

COL. HAWLEY
 LAUDS WOUNDED
Impressed By Their Won derful Spirit Mortality
 Very Low.

Lieut.. Col. George W. Hawley, of 264S North avenue, commanding of ficer and medical director of the New York hospital unit at Chatheauroux, the northern center of the Orthopae- die surgery, in France, told a very in- teresting story regarding the work performed by the medical officers during the war, to a Times Farmer representative in an interview today. T was probably most impressed by the wonderful spirit of the wounded. They were so grateful for every thing done for them, so helpful to each other so willing to work, and they never complained about anything, no matter how hard. They appreciated the work of the doctors and the nurs- es and most of them even helped out during the heaviest fighting"
 At the hospital at Chatheauroux, we had 2,500 beds and we received wounded from all American fighting fronts for about three months, Aug ust, September and October, when the heaviest fighting was going on. The plant consisted of about 70 buildings | and we had about 50 offices and 120 nurses In this hospital, we also con- ducted schools for instruction of medical officers in the treatment of wounds and fractures. About 400 medical officers went through the school of instruction and ably assisted | in the work later.
 There were practically 16,o0C ] cases with a mortality of less than one-eighth of 10 per cent The American hospital trains were won derfuI. They brought in the wou1zed as early as six or eight hours after they were taken from the field of bat | tie at Chateau Thierry and other places. Many were wounded seriously and majority had multiple wounds
 Under modern treatment, how. ever," continued Leut.-Col. Hawley i've returned probably S5 per cent to active service. A number of new things have been developed in the medical art during those trying times. and we will develop them nov to a greater extent when a hospita unit is established in the United States
 Lieut.-CoI Hawley will remain 1T active service in this country for { l few months to conduct a hospital fol the new treatment of these war de l formities and cripples of the war. 4 1 special staff of doctors and nurse. who had been in service over ther, l will soon come here to assist hin. ir

The number of territorial conflicts now making their appearance in Peace Conference circles Is attributed in some quarters to the prospects of an early realization of a Society of Ma tfons plan which will Involve the ex- animation of all such claims by a le- sal tribunal of the society for ad1u- S1icating with due regard to the wishes and welfare of the inhabitants of the districts in dispute.
 It in thought that some of the Pow CTS whose titles to territories fin con- .htct rest on ancient historical ties would rather commit the Peace Con ference to their support dn advance of the adoption of a Society of Nations plan If they could do this they would avoid & conflict between their claims and the principles which may be laid down in the Society of Nations.
 The community of interest of some nations in certain questions has led to hints of cooperation between those nations to make up a majority in the conference. GoRaAp in the corridors even mentions threats of resistance to any decisions adverse to those inter efts The special commission work ing in the Society of Nations plan is not moved by these rTnnoEs, and is go- Ing about it's work quietly but rap Sdty,
 At the Gan2e time the Supreme CoRn- cdl tu snort dai3y sessions continues sts policy of hearing patiently all claims and generally referring them ao special or standing committees for thorough examination, although this procedure, it is understood, is not en- kirely agreeable to all the Powers fn- terested,
 Eleven articles of the project for the Society of Nations were discussed and approved with small modified tions by the Peace Conference com mission on that subject at its meeting

This plan. it was argued, would provide cheaper financing, give sta bility of income to security owners, promote efficiency of operation through sharing profits. remove rail- road operation from partisan politics, compose conflicts between Federal and State authorities, keep rates at minimum, eliminate complications in rate schedules and provide a means of making communities benefltting by extensions of pay for them. The corporation would be subject to regu- lation by the Interstate Commerce Commission which would retain its present regulating powers.

Mir E. Plumb told the committee that all opposition by employees to the proposed f1ve-year extension of pres- ent government control would cease if the railroad administration revok- ed It's order against participation in politics.
 Responding to a question by Sena- tor Mclean of Connecticut, during the reading of his prepared statement of the program of the four brother hoods and other employees organiza- tons, MT. Plumb said:
 That Is our only objection to the f1ve-year plan. The purpose of an extension is to allow time for a po- Htica1 solution of a social issue, and under the order we would be pre- cluded from full participation in the working out of the solution"
