"Teachers' Plattsburgs," at which 300,000 public school teachers will he given practical trnlniag In patriotic education, will he held during the coming 8umnier In practically every state In the Union by the National Security League. The scheme of this elaborate new division of the League's Patriotism Through Education campaign is conceived on the same basic idea along which the League has been working for some time, concentrating on the teachers of the youth of the land and thereby reaching the children through the teachers and the people through their children. The objects of the League's campaign are two-fold active combating of tJerman propaganda and awakening a more responsible American citizenship. At Summer Schools. The Security League will conduct these "Teachers' Plattsburgs" through the medium of the summer schools for teachers that are held throughout the country every year. It has not yet been determined how many centers will be used. The matter is being taken up with all of the T?H? summer schools of the country and probably between 50 and 75 of the training camps will be established, the schools selected being chosen ufter careful Investigation as to attendance, breadth of Influence and convenience of location. The training camps will he conduct- ] ed by leading educators whose cooper- j atlon will he enlisted by the league, i The actual instruction will he under the direction of I)r. Robert M. McElroy, educational director of the League, and the members of the "National Putriotic Education Faculty" which he has organized. The League already has over 1.000 experienced patriotic speakers on its Speakers' Bureau list. A great many of these men and women will he detailed to the "Teachers' Plattsburgs" and their number will be augmented by volunteers from the principal colleges and universities of the country, whose academic duties have prevented them from taking active pari in the patriotic education work outside their Immediate Held, hut who will he free during tlic summer months.

JOHN WILLIAMS HELD Orangeburg Farmer Hoped Germany Would Win Quickly. to Ci Orangeburg, May 29.?A final pre- gt liminary hearing was held yesterday before J. I>eroy Dukes, United States |0] commissioner, in the case of John Wil- wi liams, charged with uttering seditious and treasonable language. It was brought out at the hearing that the \Vj defendant was approached by a committee in the interest of his contribut- \, ing to the Red Cross fund. The de- re fendant engaged the committee in discussion and stated did they think rt if they wanted Germany to win this j wjvr, would they subscribe to the fund, th The defendant freely stated that he j so nopeu viermany would defeat the j Vc United States before breakfast the p, next morning, and further stated that xv.

(Corre- tu spondenee of the Associated Press)? av The total eclipse of the sun forecast j'" I V to occur on June 8 has been postponed for one hour. This is not the re- ^ suit of any error in the calculations , of the astronomers nor is it due to an j1,11 order by modern Joshua that the su"j stand still, hut is chargeable to the j operations of the daylight saving law j as a result of which the clocks throughout the United States weroi set forward an hour on March 31. In consequence the eclipse will begin in Denver at 4:12 p. m., will be ! come total at 5:22 p. m., will pass!|-a from totality at 5:24 p. m., and will di, end at 6:27. The same variations in;of the hours of the eclipse will prevail! m throughout the length of the fifty- ha mile belt, extending from the south-jtii eastern corner of Washington State ed to the coast of Florida, in which the, total eclipse will be visible. 1 th This change in hours will not affect T1 the astronomers, however, as their ar clocks still are adjusted to standard or sun time. si: Preparations for observing thej eclipse, the first total eclipse of the pj sun visible in the United States since fa 1900 and the last until 1923, are go- at ing ahead rapidly at the University ar of Denver observatory, where astron- so omers from Yerkes observatory will an make their observations. Professor Edwin B. Frost of the Yerkes atory at Green Bay, Wis., rtSfenTly fr, notified Dean Herbert A. Howef head of the department of Astronomy of K the University of Denver, that several Cj shipments of specially prepared instruments are en route. Professor Frost is expected here in the middle of May to begin installing this equipment. ici One of the principal pieces of ap- ch paratus is a special spectroscope to dc be attached to the 21-inch telescope Li at the Denver observatory with which ch to photograph the sun's corona. Op- m portunity to photograph the corona is afforded only during a total eclipse ds and astronomers are greatly interest- R< ed in the result of this work as af- wi [fording opportunity to study th* composition of this great outer bolt of cr luminious gases which surround the te sun. m Photographs also will be taken of he the sky in the region of the sun in search of any stray comet and also at of the mythical planet Vulcan, which sesame astronomers have asserted has la its orbit so close to the sun that it ar can be seen only during an eclipse. Bi The existence of such a planet is se doubted by most astronomers, however. i Besides the staff from Yerkes observatory, other astronomers are planning to work at Denver observatory. Among them are Professor A V. Turner of the College of the City of New York, Professor Selessinger of Alleghany observatory. Professor Beifield of Dennison University and Professor Moore of the I'nited Stales Bureau of Mines. Uthough astronomers comider themselves fortunate in that the path of the total eclipse includes the Denver oh ervatory, with its high power telescopes, they have experienced much difficulty in obtaining special apparatus because of the war. As a precaution against unfavorable weather conditions at Denver on June S, the Yerkes observatory also will have men stationed at (Jreen River, Wyoming, and other observ vantage points throughout the Mountain States. . Points at which the total eclipse x will be visible include South Bend, Wash.; Chehalis, Wash.; Hood Hover, j Ore.; Baker City, Ore.; Pocatello, !jn Ida.; (ireen River, Wyo.; Denver, Colo.; Garden City, Kansas; Dodge ba City, Kansas; Enid, Okla.; Guthrie, Okla.; McAlester, Okla.; Arkadelphia, Ark.; Yazoo City, Miss; Jackson, Miss.; Grove Hill, Ala.; I^esburg, c"!
