Ohio Will Have
 Four Kinds of
 Time This Year

Columbus, O., May 13.-Ohio will have four different names for it's clock time this summer. and three act ually different kinds of time. They are eastern standard, sun time, central standard and advanced central stand ard.
 The last mentioned is a name only. for it's coincides with eastern standard time. The name came about through action of communities in western Ohio deciding to advance their clocks one hour It was the same as eastern standard time, but they preferred to call it advanced central standard.
 About half of Ohio is on eastern standard time because the regular dividinng line runs midstate from north to south.
 When it is noon at Youngstown, it will be II a. m. at Cincinnati, Day ton and Toledo, but it will be noon at Hamilton and Springfield, which are but few miles out of Cincinnati and Dayton. At the same time, it will be 11:30 o'clock suntime in some other places.

Sign Posts of
 Battlefields are
 Now in Museums

London, May 15.-Singposts bearing the inscription "Hell-Fire Corner" "Piccadilly" and "Haig Avenue" erect ed by British troops just behind the front lines in France. are among the more than 10000 exhibits being as- sembled at Crystal Palace, London, to form the Imperial War Museum. It will be opened by the king in June and will continue for four years.
 Exhibits innumera have been gathered from every land where the war cast it's trail to show the com mon effort of the empire during the great conflict. Shortly after the sign- ing of the armistice, the memora ble signposts mentioned were found ids carded as lumber. In addition to those bearing street names, which. to many of the men who knew them best. had meant so many direction posts to avenues of agony. there was found the rallying trench sign of Verdun with it's mo thoroughfare." They were all rescued and are now to be preserved as relics Of posterity.
 There will be on display the gun that fired the first British shot in the war-from the decks of destroyer Lance at the minelayer Koenig Lou ise; the E battery gun that opened the military hostilities; the anti aircraft pom-pom which. mounted at Gresham college, fired the first shot ever directed at foreign foe from London since the days of the Romans
 the occasion being the Zeppelin in September. 1915,-and scores of other entries which have equally vivid as- sociations.
 The larger pieces of ordnance, some of which weigh IA tons. are being ar ranged on the floor of the spacious hall. But the galleries will hold dis plays of equal, if not greater interest. These include war paintings anad trench implements, realistic scenic models and protective devices and cu- rios that throw an Illuminating light on conditions which existed in the German army. Some of these are amusing, some tragic.
 There is cycle with a dynamo at tachmen for lighting an officers dug out upon which two of the worst of lenders had to sit in shifts and pedal in order that those within might have illumination while they devised new plans of aggression.
 Far less amusing is specimen of the enemv's bear trap. A soldier ex ploring No Mans Land might step into it's ugly spikes, concelaed in the grass, and escape from their grip was virtually hopeless.
 Looking at the Ifebuoys of the Lusitania, the shattered funnel of the Vindictive, the portion of the Zee brugge Mole and the formidable mines that bestrewed the Dardenelles, the exhibit will recall to those who were there >many chapters of great epic.

The population Of the empire. ac-

same census this population was dis
tributed as follows: In European Rus

Over so per cent Of the people Of
Russia are peasants. The land is their
problem. 1t means home to them
work. life. Their one dream has been
to own the land. Land ownership Is
their definition of freedom, their idea
of happiness.
The Russian peasant has been a
stranger in his own country. The
man who tills the soil and lives on the
land and yet never owns an acre of
it is foreigner. even though his
forbears may have been native to the
country for centuries. The Russians
have felt this; they are simple. home
loving people. From the conversations
! have had with Russians of the peas
ant class believe that they have suf-
fered more because they never had
chance to own their own homes, their
own farms, than from the denial to
them of political freedom. The land
question is a heart question. hearth
