Clocks Moved Ahead

Aboard Emp. of Britain, June 19.

King George ordered clocks aboard this ship moved an hour ahead today instead of at midnight so that members of the Royal Entourage en route home from the tour of Canada and the United States could get another hour's sleep.

The Empress of Britain was a little more than 800 miles east of St.

Francis Light and making 20 knots. The weather was warm and cloudy with a south wind.—United Press.
