HOW THE SITUATION STANDS.
The thread upon which civil and economic order in Siberia hangs is the long, single-track line of railway across the country. It will be recalled that the inter Allied plan for the rehabilitation of the service called for a joint loan from the Powers of $20,000,- 000. The United States now has at Vladivostok her share amounting to $5,000,000, and the Chinese portion of $500,000 is likewise available.
The technical part of the work is under Mr. John F. Stevens. His plan last spring was to divide the road into four divisions as follows: Onisk Division, with Colonel Johnson in charge: Tomsk Division, with Colonel Tower in charge; trans-Baikal Division, with Colonel Lantry in charge; and the Southern Section of the Chinese Eastern, with Engineer Kimura of the Japan- ese Imperial Railway Board in charge.
Colonel Emerson has been made general superintendent of the combined system, with Colonel Hawkings the technical super- intendent. All these superinten- dents are directly under Mr. Stevens.
Working along these lines, a semblance of regular service has been made possible, but it does not begin to suffice for the needs of the Omsk Government in its operations against the Bolshevik. to say nothing of ordinary freight and passenger service. The obstacles to a restoration of normal conditions obviously are. not financial so much as they are labour trouble. These shade into disorders ranging from simple lawlessness to regular military operations.

16 O'CLOCK TEA~
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF {24-HOUR TIME IS ADOPTED.
"Sixteen o'clock tea" is likely Ita be a restaurant announcement. of the future, and an invitation by hostesses, if the Home Secretary's Committee, whose appointment was announced in the Daily Chronicle recently, adopt the 24-Lour system of expressing time..
Interviewed by 3 Daily Chronicle representative, Mr. W. E. Holderness, secretary of the Committee, explained, rbat wer experience had brought about he inquiry. It would probably take the form of a series of consultations, at which expert evidence would be taken.
A railway official pointed out that the great disadvantage of the. present system was that “mid- night Friday" was a term that might mean Friday or Saturday. But with 24-hour time "23.59 hours Friday" clearly expressed one minute before midnightofthat day; and 00.01 Hours Saturday" was obviously a minute after the midnight of Friday.
Bradshaw problem's, the rail- way official claimed. would be mach simplified.
It is not thought that in the event of the change being made, there will be any need for the. reconstruction of clocks or watches In France the 24-hour : method appears to bare had little or no effect on the popularity of the 12-hour dial.
In the case of watches-except small wrist watches, with which the process will be difficult-an inner circle of figures, numbering from 13 upwards, could be in- Aroduced, but that would not! entail any alteration in the watch Jection.

way.
According to July reports from Vladiovok, the railway situation there was disquieting. The strik ers were being joined by most of the railway workers at Nikolsk, making it difficult to forward sup- plies to troops operating against the Bolsheviks. Up to the middle of July but few trains had been reaching Vladivostok from the in- terior. The strikers demanded an immediate increas in wages and the fixing of overtime pay accord- ing to the ruling of the Provision- al Government in 1917. The rail- way administration agreed in principle to the request of the workers, but found it difficult to increase the wages on short notice. At the beginning of August the situation was much improved but the terms of the

| RENAISSANCE TOWER FOR OXFORD STREET.
A tower higher than the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral will form part of the extensive new build- ing that Mr. Gordon Selfridge in adding to his store in Oxford Street.
Mr. Selfridge means to make the new building worthy archit- ecturally of the present building, and he has secured the services of Sir James Burnet, designer of the extension to the British Museum. Sir James will work in conjunction with Messrst Graham. Anderson, Brobst, and White, the Chicago architects.
"Hitherto," said Mr. Selfridge to a Daily Express represent- ative, nobody has attempted to make shops and places of business into things of beauty. A little
jail our art into our churches and public buildings.We are now finding that a store which is üsed every day should be as fine a thing and, in its own way, as en- nobling a thing as a church or a museum."
