GERMAN RADICALS
CAPTURE HAMBURG
Communists, Launching Reign
of Terror, Hoist Red Flag
Above Great Shipyards.

Berln.-The mid-German Industrial
areas are again in the throes of an.
archy in consequence of the Commun-
lists determination to force a wide
spread general strike in protest against
the governments action in massing Sc
curity police there for the purpose of
checking the rioting and plundering
which have been going on for the past
few days.
The Ignite districts near Mansfield
are the chief center of the present dis
turbances, which not only extend to
derailing trains by removing the
tracks, but are spreading to serious
bomb outrages upon the judiciary
buildings in nearby towns and cities,
including Leipzig, Dresden, Freiberg
and Rodewisch.
Armed bandits, operating under the
direction of the notorious robin
Hood" Hoelz, who a year ago terror
lied Vogtland, are carrying out hold
ups, robbing savings banks and other
wise spreading terror through the COM
munity by the destruction of industrial
plants and the seizure of arms.
COMMUNIST workers seized the city
administration buildings in Hamburg,
then occupied the Blohm and Voss
shipyards and hoisted the red flag,
says dispatch from Hamburg.
Workers in other shipyards quit
work and began organizing a mass
demonstration, according to the dis
patch.
In Leipzig, Dresden, Rodewisch and
other cities In Central Germany the
Communists directed their efforts
against courthouses, city halls, public
banks and police headquarters. A
bomb exploded in the Leeipzig court
house and blew off the roof, broke all
the windows, wrecked the lobby and
shattered the windows of buildings In
a radius of two blocks.
The outrages are believed TO be con-
nected with the attempt of the Com
munists to force a general strike.

Daylight Saving in the New England
States

The signing of the new Daylight
Saving bill by Gov Cox settles that
much discussed question for another
year at least in Massachusetts. Some
idea of the general situation in the
New England States, in regard to
this question, may be gathered from
the following table:
MASSACHUSETTS - Has daylight
saving by statute for entire state,
to. begin April "a, on Sunday, at
2 a. M, to continue for five months,
ending at 2 a. m. Sunday morning,
Sept %.
MAINE-Has no daylight saving by
law, but will this year in many
cities follow action of last Sum-
mer, when cities adopted the
time schedule as a local ordinance.
NEW HAMPSHIRB-Not only has
no daylight saving, but has passed
law penaliZing any concern, in
dividual corporation or other group
which does not retain Eastern
standard time.
law against day
Eight saving as in New Hampshire.
RHODE ISLAND-Has no State law
for daylight saving as a State. but
will this year follow the action of
last year, making the adoption of
daylight saving matter of local
option
CONNBCTICUT-Has passed an anti
daylight saving ordinance, which
forbids the adoption of daylight
saving. This ordinance does not
forbid the adoption of daylight
saving time. however. and at Hart
ford the forces favoring daylight
saving are planning to push for the
adoption of daylight-savin.y time, as
a means of securing the same re-
suits as in Massachusetts.

When the Good Lord created this

some scraps left which were too bad
to put in either the Rattlesnake, Hye-
ma, Scorpion or Skunk; so He put all

picion, wrapped it in Jealousy, mark
ed it with a yellow streak and public
contempt, apologized even to the low

This product was SO fearful that He
had to make something to counteract
its putrid effect; so he took sun
