+# This quote helps explain the late-1914 situation:
+# In early November 1914, the Germans imposed the time zone used in central
+# Europe and forced the inhabitants to set their watches and public clocks
+# sixty minutes ahead. Many were reluctant to accept "German time" and
+# continued to use "Belgian time" among themselves. Reflecting the spirit of
+# resistance that arose in the population, a song made fun of this change....
