MEXICAN TRAINS TO
OPERATE 90 DAYS ON
BASIS OF OLD Time

Mexican National Lines trains, a.
well as al trains throughout the re
public. are still operating under the
old time standard in order to give
the railroad workers opportunity to
rearrange the dials on their watches
and clocks to comply with the new
twenty-four hour system which went
into effect at midnight December 81
all over tne country The w"rEers
have ninety days in which to either
change their present watches or OBJ
tain new ones. which will be the
same as Canadian and French time
pieces insofar as the dials are con
cerned.
The new time standard in Mexico
makes the time throughout the re-
public exactly one hour slowe" than
central time in the United States.
which is Brownsville time. If it is II
o'clock noon in Brownsville. It would
be II o'clock in Matamoros. or II i
is 2 o'clock in Brownsville it woulT
be IL o'clork in Matamorcs. S.
O'Clock in Brownsville would be II
o'clock in Matamoros. and 50 on un-
til o'clock i'm the morning in Browns
Vile would be "a o'clock in Mata-
moros.
The two standards of time now in
vogue in MatamoroS j. causing much
inconvenience there. As tho populace
is going to bed and getting up under
the new time. while the railroad con.
tinuos 70 oreratc under the old time
which is thirty-six minutes slower
than American time in Brownsville.

His daring and personal attractiveness. com bined with his adventureous career, and his reputation as courageous fighter as well as a prudent administrator helped to give him prominence and importance in the public eye which was not shared to anything like the same extent by Grif- filth, who really was little known to the British people, and whose retiring nature did not lend itself to public demonstra- tions
 The British press Is filled with tributes, personal sketches, anecdotes and stories of the hair-breadth escapes Of the dead commander-in-chief in the course of Ire lands warfare with Britain, together w3-h testimony of his political strength, HIS Sd5dClly dIlu HIS tOyd1Iy ln c2rTyl1E out the conditions of the treaty he sign- ed with England.

 Early today great crowds vended their way to the Shanakisl hospital. in the suburbs. and long before noon the hill was packed with people, while streams moved along all the roads lead ing to where the body of the late com mander-in-chief reposed- Some were admitted to the hospital grounds and a few were allowed to enter the room where the body lay in state.
 | Officers of the army formed the guard of honor. and the room was filled with choice floral tributes
 Thousands of citizens passed. and when they left after offering silent | O@@A>--- their emotion. A number of the clergy also came to the hospital including Bishop Cohalan of Cork
