Planning for Summer White
House.

Woods Hole, Mass, March 3l.-Mem-
bers of the White House staff were
here to-day arranging for the arrival
of President Wilson and his official
family about June |. AT the request

Smithers, secret service men, who are
representing Secretary Tumulty, real
estate agents and other citizens made
survey of the town with view to
obtaining accommodations for several
hundred clerks and administration at
taehes who must necessarily be near
the president.
Homes were sought for Rear Admiral
Grayson, the presidents physician, and
Secretary Tumulty. and arrangements
were made to establish the executive
offices in the government buildings oc-
cupied by the Maine Biological labora-
tory. The buildings are but a short
distance from Juniper Point, where
President Wilson will occupy the beau
tiful summer residence of Charles r.
Crane, minister to China.
The family OF Richard r. Crane, a
son of the owner of the estate and
minister to Czecho Sloyakia, occupy
the new summer White House at pres
ent, but arrangements have been made
for their removal to large bungalow
nearby. The entire estate. has been
closed to visitors.
Charles R. Crane is expected to visit
here shortly, before his departure for
China, TO oversee preparations for the
comfort of President and Mrs. Wilson.
Mr.. Crane owns or leases virtually all
of Juniper Point. Physicians have
pronounced il one of the healthiest
spots in New England, 1t is surround
ed by water on three sides The Sc
cret service men who looked il over
yesterday were surprised to find sew
eral beds of pansies in full bloom. This
was explained BY the fact that frost
does not hold in the ground so near the
sea. vegetables, dairy products = and
poultry for the presidents table will
be provided from the estate.

IN ToUcHwITH DAYLIGHT SAVING
Barre Times Telegraph Service Begins
an Hour Earlier.

Barre gets in touch with the day
light saving system in the state Of
New York through the leased wire
telegraph service into The Times office,
the telegraph service starting one hour
earlier than formerly New York
state started the daylight saving sys
tenn Sunday and that action was fol-
lowed by large number of interests
in places outside the state, while 9TH
ers simply began work an hour earlier
without changing the clock. The As
sociated Press took up the matter with
its leased wire clients yesterday and
before the day was out the 30 New
England newspapers on the circuit
with The Times decided TO have the
hours of their news service conform
with the schedule in New York.
Accordingly. the telegraph operators,
including J. q. Addy, The Times op-
orator. took hold of the key at o'clock
this morning instead Of o'clock, while
over in New York state il was, Off
cially, s O'Clock through the advancing
Of the clock. This means that the
leased wire service closes in these New
England newspaper offices at o'clock

This change should be Of benefit to
readers Of The Times since II will en-
able the newspaper TO get more Of the
worlds news into type before the nor

be as usual.
There has been some agitation in
Barre for the inauguration Of the day-
light saving system, and the idea is
sais to be favored by many granite
and workmen. Isolated
situated near New York
state are trying out the scheme. II is
urged that even If the clocks were not
set ahead, the opening hour in the
Barre granite plants might be AZ 8
lclock instead of Z O'Clock, so that the
.ame effect Of daylight saving might
BE- reached A yet. however. there
has been no definite move 20 adopt

BELIEVES STRANGE
SIGNALS FROM MARS

Paris, March 3l.--Belief that
the strange signals picked up by
wireless stations recently come
from the planet Mars is ex-
pressed by Camille Flammarion,
the famous astronomer. He
thinks interstellar communica-
tion may yet become a realized
fact, but he is incli,ssd to believe
it will be accomplished by the
use of some magnetic force
which is not as yet developed.
"Since the signals appear to be
regular" he says, 1T is improb-
able they come from the sun, al
though our great luminary is
displaying prodigous activity.
1t is possible, however, the pres
ent chaotic conditions on earth
may be traced to solar storms,

Berlin has evidently been under the
impression that permission would be
granted Germany to use troops for the
purpose of restoring order in the Ruhr
region under certain conditions and for
a limited period A Berlin dispatch on
Tuesday stated that an announcement
had been made to the national assem-
bly, by Premier Mueller that France
had abandoned her demand for allied
occupation of the neutral zone and
had consented TO grant Germany from
two to three weeks to employ strong
force in the disturbed Ruhr area. At
the same time, Paris advices reporting
the conversations between Premier Mil.
lcrand and DIR. Won Mayer. indicated
there had been no positive decision in
Paris as to the German request to en-
ploy troops, and also that the question
of guarantees to be offered by Ger
many for the withdrawal of the forces
required further consideration.

Screeching cut-outs, Banging Trolleys,
Victory Bells.

fANtOAJ 1NAASs
Speaking from experience as for
mer patient Of the City hospital, Alex
Duncan made complaint against three
noise nuisances on Washington street,
namely. the motor car ut-outs as the
vehicles climbed the hill. the slam bang
coasting down the Hill BY the last cleo
trio car each night and the victory
bell' Of Spaulding high school which,
according to Mr.. Duncan, sometimes
rings Is minutes. The complainant
said people have no idea what dis
turbing factor those three things are to
the patients in the hospital, some of
them lowering between life and death.
Mr.. Duncan made out pretty good
case, and the council put the matters
before the police committee. As to the
cut outs, Alderman Scott said there
were both state law and city ordinance
prohibiting; regarding the speeding of
the electric car, it was suggested that
an arrest might bring about an abate-
ment Of the nuisance If the road man
agement did not assume the respon-
sibility and insist on reasonable opera
tion Of the car; as TO ringing of the
school bell, it was generally considered
that word to the proper parties
would bring about relief.
