DAYUCHT SAVING IS SUBJECT Fi DISPUTE

S W

Miners And Miners' Wives Are In Favor of Ttfrning The Clock Back Now.

$•*

CL.V

Kditor of the Tribune:— At the invitation of The Tribune, I trould like to express my opinion, and mine Is the opinion of a good many more that I have talked with on this clock subject.

Now, on the first flay of last April, %*hen the clocks of the country -were moved forward ono hour, it worked a hardship on lots of people In this city. I speak more especially for the mine Workers.

Now, previous to that time, we had to rise at 4:00 o'clock to give us time to catch the street cars and miners" trains (and just think of the motormen, conductors and train crews), and I assure you we all thought that that hour was early enough for almost any boman being-, especially when the snow was knee deep and the mercury hovering around zero.

I can assuer you when the mandate was given that all must move time forward one hour, the miners received it with feelings of re get.

J*st think of it! Get up at 3:30 •'clock a. m. And Just think, some people want the clocks to remain as they are at the present time.

If we, the working people, could afford to lie in bed until €, 7 or 8 o'clock In the morning, we no doubt would be very indifferent as to whether time was changed one hour either way.

I for one would want (most emphatically) to have the time turned back to where it was prior to April 1, and let it stay there.

JAMES GRAY,

XktltsF Of tTie TrFbune:— Dear Sir—By all means, turn the clock back! Looking at the matter from the standpoint of the coal miner's wife, 1 cannot see that they have been benefited in any great degree by the Change at any time.

As far as the gardening was concerned (which I believe was given as ©no of tho main reasons ior the rbange), most of the men work too Jiard at the mines to be very enthusiastic about gardening work when they get home at night, and if the women have it to do, it is immaterial to inem how the clock stands—they will produce just as mueii with it one way as they will another.

If the coal miner offnr? any objections to keeping the clock as it now 4s, it may not be altogether due to an inclination to lie in bed of a morning, but rather to a disinclination towards getting up and hustling around for two or three hours while it- is yet dark.

My husband leaves home at about

lfc:10

every morning, walks three or Itour blocks to catch his •'jitney," then ^drives a distance of 10 miles to his Jpiure of work.

No wonder the miner wants the clock turned back! And, incidentally*, might add that, the lady of the house has to get up 'Shout 4 o'clock in order to have her feusband ready for work on time.

O, yes! let's turn the clock back! Respectfully, „r MliS. LOTTIE liOTTTHEN. 1362 Buckeye Street.

Mrs. N. S. Mesirow Has Telegram From National Chairman Calling For Renewed Efforts.

Mrs. Nicholas S. Mesirow, chairman of the women's committee Fourth Liberty Loan, received a telegram from Mrs. William G. McAdoo this morning, as follows: "Mrs. N. S. Mesirow, 670 Swan Street,

Terre Haute, Ind.: "The president has ealled on the nation to oversubscribe the loan as an imperative measure toward certain and complete victory. National women's Liberty Loan committee, appreciating all you have already done, calls upon you to take that message home to your community. Over-suIn-scription of quota in your district must be personal responsibility of every loan worker.

MRS. WILLIAM G. fcTADOO,

"Chairman National Women's Liberty Loan Committee.™ Mrs. Mesirow, in a statement this morning made in revealing tne work of the women's committee, says that she feels that the women here havo definitely and completely fulfilled their share of the obligation in raising Vigo county's quota. She states that today the women start on their nival lap, that of going back to the most prom ising of their subscribers and per nuading them to buy more bond a For this work a special committee nas been named by Mrs, Robert fi. Lee, city chairman,

Mrs. Mesirow also declared that, of course, the women in the present campaign have not made the spec tacular showing that they did in the Third, owing to their having to divide the work with a joint committee, which fact restricted their activity to a great extent. "In the Third campaign the women of Vigo county proved that they could ably handle the large end of the finan cial undertaking, and in tuis campaign they have taken care of the smaller and more detailed end of the work. That their work has been thoroughly and satisfactorily completed- without blare of trumpet or brass band announcement," is the opinion of Mrs. Mesirow, who furthers this statement by adding that, "None the loss the chairman of the women's Liberty Loan committee wishes to take this opportunity to request the workers, if there may be any avenue unworked. anent. the suggestion of Mrs. McAdoo, that such work be accomplished at o&ce."

decision and the reasons for it to congress, the country and the world. The Swiss charge appeared at the state department shortly after the appointed time and delivered the note without comment. Col. House was in Secretary Lansing's office at the time.

A few minutes later the note was in the hands of the president. A state department messenger took it to the white house as soon as Secretary Lansing had read the document and found it did not differ from the wireless version.

Has British View.

It developed that Counsellor Polk, of the state department, was at the British embassy in consultation with Colville I'.arelay, counsellor and charge, in the absence of Ixird Heading and other officias of the embassy.*

Counsellor Polk's visit was considered to be significantly connected with the word from London that the British government is inclined to oppose the granting of an armistice until complete guarantees of both a military and naval nature come from Germany. This development reported in Associated Press dispatches from London probably has some relation to the announcement Saturday that c.reat Britain, Prance and Italy were agreed upon a

LONDON OPPOSES ARMISTICE.

Unconditional Surrender Alone Will Be Acceptable to Briton*. LONDON, Oct. 14.—No temporary armistice nor any armistice at ail, unless accompanied by Germany's unconditional surrender, is the dominant note ia most of the comment on the peace situation in this morning's newspapers. "The allies will take nothing lees than unconditional surrender in the field, and there must be no armistice until defeat in the field is acknowledged by the enemy," says the Post.

Otherwise the war has been fought in vain.'* The paper sees in Germany's endeavor to open peace negotiations merely an attempt to avoid disaster and save her military reputation, and adds: "It is aot the first time that the Germans have erroneously assumed that President Wilson does not understand the people with whom he is dealing. But president Wilson knows the enemy as well as do the allies. Germany's idea in this discussion is to steal the advantage. Her design is to first create dissension between the United States and the allies. If Dr. Solf, with a sham democracy, can get the allies and Americans to talking he will have achieved the purpose for which he and Prince Maximilian were appointed."

The Chronicle believes that Wilson may wish some or all of Germany's answers to be made more specific, especially that regarding the authority of Prince Maximilian's government.

Assuming that he will be satisfied as to this point, the paper contends that no peace discussion is possible without a final cessation of fighting. Under the caption "Temporary Armistice Inadmissible." the paper 9«.ys

long time, at least six months, and possibly a year. Fighting must be finished once and for all, and the allies must be unmistakably secured against its renewal. "This is the point of principle to be decided by the allies and the condi tions requisite therefore constitute a naval and military, not a political problem. It must firet be referred to Marshal Focta, aad the British admiralty.''

AWAIT NEXT MOVE.

Unconditional Surrender Or Revolu tion Must Be Chosen By Germans. WASHINGTON", Oct. 14.—There la a general feeling that the next peace move confront the German military party with the choice of such an unconditional surrender as wui ow acceptable to all the alTied co-belliger-ents or a genuine political revolution in Germany, which will brme one about.

It has been pointed out that President Wilson's Inquiry to Chancellor Maximilian t6 answer whether the chancellor merely wan speaking for the German leaders who have been conducting the war probably was skillfully framed to pave the way for an opportunity to inform the G»rr*an people, directly, that no covenants of peace caji be made with the men who have betrayed the world.

The present German government wa» formed by conferences and has the support of the majority of the reichstag, was formed through imperial decree which permitted it. There is nothing before any of the aMied governments, so far as is known, to show that there has been any change in the German system, which prevent the autocratic power which uttered that decree to revoke it, when its purpose had been accomplished. In other words, an allied diplomat considering the arrangement of an armistice or an arrangement of the practical details to carry out the application of the terms of peace President Wilson ha* laid down, might ask: "What guarantee have we that these arrangements will not be regarded as a scrap of paper?"'

Must Eliminate Kaiser.

A close reading of all of President Wilson's pronouncements on the subjects, when all else has been eliminated, shows him repeatedly laying down the fundamental principle that no peace can be made while tne t»tiuian people endure kaiserism. In his reply to the pope's note, Aug. 27, 1917, the president said: "We cannot take the word' of the present rulers of Germany as a guarantee of anything that is to endure, unless explicitly supported by such conclusive evidence of tne will and purpose of the German people themselves as other peoples of the world would be justified in accepting:.'*

In his subsequent pronouncements, finally coming down to his New York speech of Sept. 28, the president drives home the same point each time with a new emphasis.

The conclusion, in the opmten of close observers, would seem to be that the military party falling to make peace by the sword, as it promised, gives way to & political party. Upon President Wilson's estimate oi now far the present peace party in Germany represents the will of the German people themselves, and of what guarantees there may be that the military autocracy will not be in position to undo at will their work, the next step depends.

Allies Will Continue Work.

There seems little doubt that unless the German people themselves, to use the language of the president, destroy the autocratic power, which of its own choice can disturb the peace of the world, or at least reduce it to virtual impotence, the a Hied primes will continue the work of destroying that power on the battle of France and Belgium, and prob&bijfcpn German

soil. The prediction is being freely made in the capital tonight that unless Germany'^ latest move bringR peace, revolution will sweep the kaiser and his whole party completely out of power. There are supporters of the president's diplomacy who hint that uch a development is precisely what he has been working for, and that this will be plain when the veil of diplomatic secrecy is lifted and the scene* of the great international drama are disclosed to the world.

Those who believe that the president can acc«pt the German reply point out that he might easily make as the condition of his acceptance of Prince Maximilian's proposition such an unconditional surrender as indeed might be accomplished on the field of battle, and as well such a physical guarantee as might be considered appropriate. One might speculate indefinitely as to what these guarantees might be. but in the absence of official guidance, it is fruitless.

GERMANS ARE ANXIOUS.

Speed of Reply Indicate* Fear For Safety of Army.' I-ANTjON, Sunday, Oct. IS—The speed of the German reply is indicative of the anxiety the Germans feel for the safety of their rapidly retreating army," said Viscount Northcliffe to an Associated Press representative tonight. "You will remember at th® time they were being questioned about the Lusitania, they played for delay, delay, delay," he continued. "Now they are fighting to gain days, even hours. As read tlieir reply, it is neither candid nor straightforward. It consists of evasions. These evasions are made for the purpose of unbalancing the minds of simple folks in allied countries and for the purpose of convincing the discontented section of the German people that the allies will not accept what is jjleclared by them to look like a reasonable offer of peace.

Dodges the Issue.

"The caption of the answer shows the atmosphere of equivocation in which the German government lives and moves. Germany, in fact, only 'declares' herself ready to comply. She does not comply. She has not accepted the president's terms. She onlysays—untruly—that those terms have been acceited. "You will remember that In 1870 the Germans, when they had the great French army enveloped at. Sedan, declined to gue an armistice. Bismarck said: 'Germany desires ta promote the
