in 1918? Try something like this:
happy-idiot-talk:~:% zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT | grep '200[67]'
/usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT Sun Apr 2 06:59:59 2006 UTC = Sun Apr 2 01:59:59
2006 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
/usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT Sun Apr 2 07:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Apr 2 03:00:00
2006 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
