Second St. SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG iKfeAl TELEGRAPH MARCH 16, 1918. out the city this afternoon declared that the changing of hours would be accomplished without interrupt ing or hurting trade. It was said that tho change would mean little or nothing to the larger mills ahd munitions plants, where three shifts of men now ure engaged in working ! throughout the twenty-four hours, j No difficulty will be experienced in trolley car schedules, it was said at the offices of the Harrisburg and 'cross-river traction companies and the turning of the watch will do the trick. ' i Theaters, railroads and every bus- iness house in the city will operate according to the now schedule, and, therefore, it was pointed out, there can be 110 confusion after a man has once reset his watch. Summed up, Mr, Littlefleld says: "The bill provides tor an hour advance in standard time at 2 o'clock a. in. on the last Sunday in .March of each yefcr and at . a. m. the lust Sunday in October uie standard time shall be retarded one hour. Eleven countries have adopted the summer daylight sav- ing plan. The first was Germany, then Great Britain, France, Austria- Hungary, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Holland, Portugal and Au-/ stralla. London, England, saved 200,000 tons of coal during a sum mer. In England in five and one half months $12,000,000 in coal '.vere saved, and In France $10,000,000. It is estimated that in the United States $10,000,000 can be saved in light bills. The hour of daylight con served by the proposed law can be used by industrial workers throug out America for gardening and agri cultural work. This will be a most important gain. We are sure of a great shortage in farm labor this summer and something must be done to offset the probable loss in pro duction of farm products. The hour saved for daylight every day in April. May, June, July, August, September and October will be of inestimable value in stimulating the dwellers in cities and towns to interest them selves in the production of garden truck."

PASS DAYLIGHT SAVING BILL; AWAITS WILSON Clocks All Over Country Will Be Turned Ahead One Hour Wusliington, Mar. 16—The House of Representatives, by 252 to 40. yes terday passed the Senate daylight saving bill, under the terms of which, when it receives the signa ture of President Wilson, it'will be required that all the clocks in the United States be turned ahead one hour at 2 a. m. 011 Sunday, March 31, and remain advanced one hour until 2 a. m. on the last Sunday in October. Under the bill parsed by the Senate the limit was, fixed as the last Sunday in September. The House amendment extending the daylight saving one month was adopted upon representations by- Fuel Administrator Garfield that a great amount of l'uel would be con served thereby. It is expected that the Senate will concur in the amend ment to-morrow. Five standard time zones for th United States will be fixed by the Government, according to the bill, and it is made mandatory upon the railroads to follow the standard time. By the passage of the bill, tho United States joins with England, France, Switzerland, Portugal and the three Scandinavian countries in adopting a method of economy and efficiency first taken by Germany during the early days of the war. Millions of tons .of coal have been saved in these countries, it was stated to the House to-day by the supporters of the measure, by the simple means of turning the clock ahead over a period of five or six months a year. England reports a saving of 12,- 000,000 tons up to date. Several Representatives who espoused tha bill admitted that when it was first proposed they considered it silly. But, they said, when they came to examine its virtues they fell enthu siastically behind it. Provided the President signs it, and there is little doubt that he will do so quickly, the daylight-saving bill will have the effect of turning us all out of bed an hour earlier than we have been accustomed-to arise and of sending us back again accordingly. The use of fuel at night will be conserved by the clos ing of establishments at 11 o'clock which ordinarily do business until 12 o'clock. By the clock on the wall it will still be 12 o'clock, but by the moral conviction it. will be 11. Officials of the Chamber of Com merce and the Bourse, two of the many local organisations which car ried the light for the daylight-sav ing bill into the very halls of Con fess. were jubilant on receipt of the news that the legislation was so near. Ernest T. Trigg, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said: "This is very gratifying to us. By a readjusting of working hours the war industries will be speeded up materially and more time for the cultivation of war gardens will re sult." Emil P. Albrecht, president of the Bourse, said: "This legislation will enable work ers to get better results out of their daily efforts, as they will be in bet ter tune for speeding up operations in the early daylight hours of the summer months. In such a large manufacturing center as Philadel phia the gain in efficiency in the various war work lines will be tre mendous. Only on Monday last the directors of the Bourse urged upon Congress for the second time within two months the necessity for this change." TO SPEAK AT Y. M. C. A.

"Weigh one kilo of those dried apples for fue, please," are the prosaic or ders that are being currently given at the Opera House, for a grocery store is in operation where formerly high ! C's and rumbling bass notes were the only commodities dispensed.. The store is of the co-operative variety and none but members of the troupe, ballet or connected with the opera 1 in some capacity, is allowed to pat- ' ronize the venture.

March, who has just returned from France to be come acting head of the general staff, announced on his arrival he was strongly opposed to the censor ship of military news. He said: "I think this muzzling censorship is lamentable. The American officers in France and all the officers abroad are unable to understand it." "Don't you think the American people are loyal enough and morally strong enough to asimilate the worst news that comes—news of the hor rors of war as well aa the best news that can come—and that American officers can be trusted not to di vulge information of value to the enemy?" the general was asked. "Ye*. I think you are right." was the reply. "I know of no gentle method of conducting a war of this magnitude," the general continued. "No army can expect not to have somebody hurt."

RAISE POULTRY IF YOU WANT TO EAT [Continue*! from First Page.] THE LIBERTY HEN Tho fierce old eagle perched on high has had his praises sung By poets and by orators since this fair land was young; A wicked, hard old lighter he, but in this parlous day I vote to place in discard this selflsli bird of prey. And for his place 1 nominate our friend, the business hen, A worthy type of patriotism and friend of all true men. On backyards, farms and grassy plots where poultry grows and thrives Keep hens, raise chicks, produce more eggs and save our heroes' lives. Far better is the cackle when an honest egg is born Than to hear the Kaiser hurrah when a human heart is torn. So let us heed the warning an 3 rally to a man. And aid tiie nation-wide campaig* that's been launched by Uncle Sam. More chickens, eggs nnd poultry meat will seal the Kaiser's fate. Produce them now. not bye and bye. when it may be too late. So, let's keep hens, ten millions strong, for meat is fighting fuel; Increase our egg and meat supply and blot out Prussian rule. D. M. GREEN. to freely give eggs and chicks to persons who cannot afford to buy them. The State Department of Agriculture pledged its word to back the great cause, footing all bills for giving the public precise in formation. A book called "Back yard Poultry" will be issued shortly giving minute instructions. The "Liberty Feeds" will be on the mar ket presently and they simplify the troubles of feeding. Besides these the government authority empha sized the necessity of a backyard poultry person utilizing, table scraps and gsrden gleanings. Must Produce to Eat Chairman DeLancy put the pepper ( in the big with a sharp 1 resume of the situation, quoting i Lord Rliondda, British Food Com missioner who said recently: "The [ whole world will be threatened with 'll famine at a much earlier date than we realize." Complementing this the chairman informed that the United States would shortly is sue this warning: "Unless you per sonally produce you are likely to go hungry." It is no longer a case of each one doing his bit. Each must do his utmost. The government has started things by permitting live chicks to be sent by parcel post and it will do everything possible, to en courage a mighty production of hen-food, for every ounce of pork and meat is needed abroad. It was pointed out that an aver age flock of ten birds for every fam ily in the United States would mako 200.000,000 hens which could be largely fed and maintained from the kitchen and garden waste and should produce 1,500,000,000 dozen (18,00 ft 000,000) eggs a year. Would Help Army The keeping of a small home flock of laying hens by every fam ily living "in a suburb, town or vil lage or having a small backyard in connection with a city home will do more to help provide food necessary to maintain our tnen in the Army and feed the people at home than can be accomplished by any other means. At the same tinje it is a practical way of teducing home ex penses and regulating the cost of living. The size of the flock should be regulated by the number of persons in the family to be fed and tho amount of table scraps* kitchen and garden waste, that otherwise would be thrown away, which could be used for feed: From two to three hens for each person in the hoifte hold should keep a family supplied with all the fresh epgs they re quire. EVery one that has twenty square feet of yard space can keep chickens to advantage. The machinery for building a poultry army in this vicinity is all ready, now, co-operation being as sured to-day among the Central Pennsylvania Association, the Penn sylvania War Poultry Commission and the Poultry Raisers of Harris burg. The executive committee of the Association were all present to day: Chairman Khrman B. Mitch ell, S W. Brightbill, Isaac Stees- and P. Edgar Hess.

March 16.—The first sign of discord between President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker over a question of war policy was disclosed to the Senate committee on military affairs yesterday when witnesses urging passago of the Owen bill, raising the rank of Army medical officers to conform to that in other armies, testified that the measure enjoyed the sympathy and support of the President and at the same time is bitterly opposed by the .Secretary of War and a number of his principal subordinates. AlmosU at the same time that Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, was telling the committee the President was heartily in favor of the bill, a letter was received by Senator Hitchcock, acting chairman, in the absence of Senator Chamberlain, stating that the measure would dis rupt and unbalance ranks through out the Army. This letter was sign ed by Benedict Crowell, Assistant Secretary of War, and in charge of the department during Secretary Baker's absence in France. The measure introduced by Sena tor Owen, at the request of Major General W. C. Gorgas, surgeon gen eral of the Army, provides for an in ci Tease in the number of medical officers of the higher grades to meet the ratio existing in the Navy. On the basis of an army of 2,000,000 men, supporters of the bill explain approximately seventy officers of the medical corps would bo raised to the rank of general, thirty-five to ma jor. thirty-live to brigadier general and about 650 officers would acquire the rank of colonel. The witnesses besides Senator Owen were Surgeon General Gorgas, Major C. H. Mayo, of the medical corps, one of the fa mous Mayo brothels, surgeons of Rochester, Minn., and Franklin Martin, of Philadelphia, head of the division ol' health and sanitation of the Council of National Defense. Orders Are Disregarded The three doctors told the com mittee that the orders and recom mendations of medical officers un der the present ranking system in the Army are virtually void, inas much as they are flagrantly disre garded by line officers even in cases where the health of the Army is involved. Senator Owen also im pressed upon the committee the con tention that line officers ignore the advice of surgeons and contradict the orders of medical officers to the detriment of the service and the health conditions in the cat])pa and cantonments. General Gorgas said that when he had recommended advanced ranks I for medical officers to Secretary Baker and submitted to him a plan for the correction of the system the Secretary peremptorily rejected it. The bill was then introduced, notwithstanding the Secretary of War's opposition, and Senator Owen testified that it had the approval of the President regardless of Mr. Ba ker's views to the contrary. General Gorgas related his efforts to impress upon Secretary Baker the necessity of constructing hospi tals first in the various Army can-1 tonments. It was shown in the re cent War Department investigation that th> delay In hospital construc tion led to deplorable conditions in several camps. In spite of the Sur geon General's recommendation the hospitals were among the last to be! completed in some cantonments, he said. At Norfolk, Va., the surgeon gen eral stated, the ranking line officer refused to adopt the recommenda tions of the ranking medical officers, and, as a consequence, the port of embarkation was "literally over whelmed with sick soldiers." Mayo Predicts Scandals Major Mayo, who recently return ed from France, boldly predicted that grave scandals would grow out of the situation where medical of ficers were virtually powerless to enforce rules they knew to he vir tually necessary. He said he was most eager that the Owen bill should pass. That even if it does not, he desired to make his position per State of - South.
