I'm Legislature
Assembly Will Vote on Bill
10 Repeal; Sweet Wires
New Jersey :sealaic 'Ilaa,
Statute Will Be Revoked

Friends Of statewide daylight saving
whicn either will be doomed or con-
tinued in effect by the action of the
Legislature to-day marshaled their
forces last night for the final fight. The
vote to-day on the proposed repeal Of
the law decides the issue not only for
New York but for New Jersey, accord
ing to Marcus NJ. Marks, president of
the National Daylight Saving Assoca-
ton.
Last night Speaker Sweet. Of the
Assembly. wired the majority leader
of the New Jersey Senate that New
York was sure TO repeal the STATUTE"
Mr.. Marks declared. GAS result New
Jersey deferred action on the measure
pending there until Monday, although
it was about to adopt the bill, which
was sure of substantial majority in
the lower house.
ut is such action as that Of Sweet
that disgusts one with 'misreprcsenta-
tive government Here is an all
powerful individual, solely through the
Office he holds, insulting the legislators
OF a sister state by advising them of
action he hopes will be realized in New
York. He knows he is seeking to kill
law 50 per cent of the people want. 1t
is appropriate to ask Mr.. Sweet why
this deep interest in the welfare Of the
farmers.
1T is up to the people as whole to
tell Mr.. Sweet what they think of his
sinister stand, and they can do this
best BY demanding that their Assem-
blymen vote against the repeal when it
comes up at Albany"
The foes of daylight saving are
banking on the votes of seven New
York City Assemblymen to aid in pass
ing the repeal bill, Mr.. Marks added.
The seven who are expected by the
Speaker to support his campaign are
named by the association as follows:
Martin c. /Bourke, John c. Hawkins,
George H. Jesse, William W. Pelle, Sol
Ullman. Rober B. Wallace and Samuel
Dickstein.
The women voters are against the
repeal. Mrs. John Francis Yawgcr,
president of the National Federation
of Women's Clubs, said yesterday, and
this view was upheld BY Miss Mar
guerite Smith, who represents the Har-
lem district in the Assembly,

When we expected

OF a much-beloved guest, you re-
member how we always began to
look for her and took our place at
the point that commanded the view
from the front window, where we
sat watching all the way down the
road to the big white gate where
she had to enter to reach the door
on the front porch.
You will remember, too, how we
put mothers favorite flowers on
the mantelpiece and the bureau on
which she laid off her gloves and
threw her llandkerchiefs before she
used the mirror to smooth her soft,
brown hair. We were glad to have
mothers room to show our ex-
pectancy of her Homecoming.

Professor John H. Adams, president

day: 1--WE are tired Of telling the

has come to tell them to come across

pittsburgh teachers are not 'pecved,
but are thoroughly indignant and
aroused by the recent action of the
Board of Education relative to salary
increases as they seldom have been
aroused by anything. | believe this
frame Of mind is due, not SO much to
the fact that the teachers who do the

given increases in salary, as it is to
the fact that the teachers do the
actual classroom work at pitifully in

Relatives of War Dead
Want Bodies Returned
Committee Will Ask Congress
to Speed Removal From

About 500 relatives Of members OF

France, met last night at Stuyvesant
High School to frame plans to get be-
fore Congress their desire to have the
bodies Of their dead brought back
from France for burial. A committee
Of fifty, headed by Alonzo B. Pouch,
of II Battery Place, will go to Wash
ington Monday to discuss the matter
with the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations.
"Twenty-five thousand bodies were
taken from their graves and reburied
in the Roumange Cemetery in France" I"
said Mr.. Pouch, addressing the meet
ing. "The bodies could just as we'll
have been brought here. France needs
all the area she can obtain and we
want our boys remains to be buried
safely at home.
at is sacred duty of the govern
ment to carry out the promise made
to the boys when they departed-the
promise of an American grave The
government apparently is not doing all
that it should to fulfill it's promise. A
state returns the body of criminal.
The government should return the bod
les of it's heroes. We want an Ameri-

Congress Asked to Vote
Funds to Avert Famine
Merchants Association Proposes
Food Appropriation for
Central EurOne

In the belief that immediate relief
IN the form Of food is necessary to
avert famine in Central Europe, the
Merchants Association has asked Con-
gress to take steps to remedy existing
conditions.
A memorial was proposed to the
board of directors of the association
by Lewis E. Pierson, first vice -presi-
dent. and it urges that the countries
which are in need be supplied through
an established Federal agency, such as
the United States Grain Corporation,
with money to be appropriated by Con-
gress for the purpose.
According to the Merchants Associa-
tion from fifteen to twenty million
people in the countries of Central Eu-
rope. outside Of Germany, and in Ar
menia are facing starvation.
"Thc available food supply" the
memorial reads, ais wholly inadequate.
Moreover, 1t is very unequally dis
tributed, being boarded in the produc-
ing districts and withheld from the
cities where the need is greatest. In
some of the principal cities the guam
titles .obtainable are not sufficient for
subsistence. In Vienna the bread ra-
tion has been reduced to three ounces
day-and bread is the principal
article Of diet"

Dutch Chamber Asks
Ex-Kaiser to Go Home
Cabinet Considers Request a
Formality and Will Not Sur
render Former Emneror

THE HAGUE, Jan 0 (By The Asso-
ciated Press ).-The First Chamber Of
the Dutch Parliament has drafted and
presented to the Cabinet memoran-
dun suggesting that it now is de-
sirable that Holland request for
mer Emperor William of Germany to
return to his own country.
In the ordinary course of parla-
mentary procedure the government
would answer the First Chamber. The
government, however, it has been
learned, does not consider the memo
rrandum important. 1t is explained that
it was introduced at the SUI suggcstion OF
a single member during the budget de-
bate, as matter of formality.
AS far as the correspondent has been
able to learn, the Dutch government
has firmly decided that it will not sur
render the one time German ruler.
Former Emperor William has trans
ferred most of his wood cutting activi-
ties to Doorn, where his new home il
being built. Dressed in green hunt
ing suit, he was seen yesterday at
Doom, chopping or saving off the
branches of young trees which had
been felled, with the purpose of per-
fccting new landscape for the purk
of his estate.

Big Lake Covering
Seven Towns After
Death List of 1000 Likely
TO Stand, New Advices
Indicate; Inhabitants
Near Volcano Excited

MEXICO CITY. Jan. 9.-Seven towns
near Teocelo, south Of Jalapa, have
been overwhelmed by the earth dis
turbances, and a great lake is covering
their former sites, according to a
message received this morning from
Teocelo through Vera Cruz Thirty
four bodies had been recovered
The towns that were inundated are
Tlatanalan, Quiezmitlan, Coastaleca,
Tosigue, Ixtlahuacan, Choloya and San
Decentralization.
Every house in Teocelo has been
rendered uninhabitable.
Intense excitement and panic reigns
among the inhabitants of Cordoba and
Orizaba, in the western part of Vera
Cruz, because Of the opening of q
new crater Of the volcano of Orizaba,
fifteen miles to the northward. Tho new
crater is emitting smoke, according
to information received from army
officers in the earthquake district.
1t is officially reported that moth
ing untoward has been noticed at the
other volcanoes in Mexico.
Experts belleve the reported opening
Of small and supposedly extinct
volcano at San Miguel and the break
ing out of a new crater on Mount
Orizaba provide an explanation of the
earthquake which on Saturday night
centcred with terrific effect along the
line between the states of Vera Cruz
end Puebla.
New advices tell of 200 deaths near
San Miguel and in the country dis
tricts near Cordoba, and it seems I'M
probable the final list Of casualties
will fall below original estimates Of
1000, even if reports Of 1000 deaths
at Couztlan were exaggerated. From
compilation and comparison Of varying
dispatches, it is believed twenty vii
lagos were completely destroyed.
General Candido Aguilar, son-in-law
Of President Carranza, who has re-
sumed his duties as Governor Of Vera
Cruz, is actively engaged in relief
work. He has left Vera Cruz on q
special train for Coatepec, where he
will direct relief measures.

2,OOO,O 900 Civilian Poles
Dead Since War Started
10000 Made Homeless by
Sweeping of Armies Back and
Forth Across Country

WARSAW, Jan. 9.-More than 2,o00,-
900 civilians have died in Poland since
the outbreak of the war, and 20 per
cent of the country's present popula-
tion of 100000 are refugees, ac-
cording to figures made public here
by the American RED Cross. They are
based on a survey made to show that
the burden of war has fallen more
heavily on civilians than on the mill
tary.
The central location Of Poland be-
tween hostile armies is described as
responsible for the large number OF
refugees, as armies sweep back and
forth and the inhabitants are forced
to evacuate their homes again and
again.
The Red Cross estimate of 1000 .OO(
as the number thus ariven from thei1
homes is held to be highly conserva
tive by leading Polish statesmen.
