Standard Time

Detroit Free Press

The difficulty of appreciating the difference in time that prevails between different countries is very general, and the following list is printed for the purpose of a ready reference guide by which to calculate the time of any occurrence in another country. All nations, except Spain, Portugal, and Russia, calculate their time from the meridian of Greenwich, accepting as standard some even hour meridian east or west of Greenwich. For instance:—

Western European time, or that of the meridian of Greenwich, is legal in England, Belgium, Holland, and Luxemburg.

Central European time, or one hour east of Greenwich, is legal in Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bosnia, and Herzegovina, the Kongo Free State, Denmark, Italy, Servia, Sweden, Norway, and Switzerland.
