TREAT OEFELOS
CHANGE IN RATES
3 .. ..
: ON VIRGINIA LINE
Declares 1t Is Necessary to
!, Garry Out Order Is
~ sued by l. c. c.

That the change in rates on the
WashIngton- Virginia Railway. against
which the people Of Alexandria and
residents upon the line are protesting
TO the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and the Virginia State Corporation
Commission. Is necessary to carry out
an order OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission itself, was asserted today
BY President F. II. Treat and Secre-
tary and General Counsel Gardner
Booth, OF the Washington Utilities
Company, which recently absorbed the
ington.virginit Railway Com
pany.
AT the time when the Interstate Com
mercc Commission ordered q reduction
IN the rates between Washington and
Mt. Vernon and certain other points
on the line, It IL declared, the commits
sion also ordered readjustment Of the
fares Of the road in accordance with
the order. That the new rates are In
accord with this order and with the
decisions OF the Virginia Commission In
other cases Is the assertion of the Off.
GERS of the road. They scout the idea
that the new rates have been put into
effect to recoup payment to the city OF
Alexandria for the recently granted
franchise in that city and for the ex-
pense Of paving the streets on which
the line runs.
Meantime. presumably upon objection
from the Alexandria authorities, the In
terstate Commerce Commission has
issued an order suspending the new
rates until April 13. 1918. These rates
are proposed to apply between Wash:
ington, South End Bridge. d. c.. and
Petty. Fox. Fort Berry. Peyton. Nauck
and Green Valley. Va. They were filed
70 become effective December H.
An appeal has also been made to the
Virginia commission. but 30 far as the
railway officials know. no suspension
order has yet been issued. They de.
clare the new rates have been flied with
and approved by the State commission.

nevertheless a very real and strong one.

larger family, an extended brother
hood, something which, though not as
close to you as your brother or your
children, was nevertheless different
from the feared or suspected foreigner.
This is the primitive, the material
country.
There is also spiritual and mystic
country and this is the cemetery.
Lamartine said: "1t is the ashes of
the dead that created the country"
Patriotism is union between the
souls Of those who live and the souls
of those who have lived. Into this
union of souls there enters the feeling
of being Of the same blood, the feeling
Of having been brought Zip in certain
manner with certain ideas and senti-
ments which are perpetuated, and the
feeling of gratitude: '!t was our
fathers who cleared this hill, exploited
this forest and drained these swamps.' -
And notice that you do not know
whose fathers, the father of this man
or the other man, did those things.
From this ignorance the feeling of
country grows stronger, because [ can
no longer distinguish the memories of
NV forefathers from those Of my
neighbors. and this creates a solidarity
of memories, Of respect and gratitude,
and this solidarity is patriotism itself.
From the memories of the ancestors
springs the sympathetic provision, the
kind thought of posterity. You say TO
yourself: "Just as I honor the mem-
DRY of those who have cultivated this
place before me, so those who come
after me will honor the memory Of me
those who come after me. This is

Love Thy CounyBy Emile Faguet Member of French Acade!

IN, HAT is love of eountrya 1t is
NM the attachment Of man to q
WV certain part of the soil of
the earth where he was born
and with which he has closer re-
latious than with the rest Of the
world. In principle and primarily
it is love of what is known, and fear
OF the unknown. IL is love of the hori-
zou with which your eyes are familiar
strengthened BY the fear yon feel when
the horizon changes.
Primitive man does not feel safe ex-
cept within his village or within easy
reach of it. There are enemies there,
but there are also friends and allies,
and it is with feeling of relief that
native place when returning from an
expedition or an extended hunting trip.
OF this feeling there will, in spite of
all civilization, always remain some.
thing, and il is even this which is the
fundamental element of all patriotism.
The great country will be like the
frame around the smaller country and
when you return to the great country
after long foreign trip you will al.
ways have the feeling that you are
getting nearer to the little country.
that is TO Say your country, your home
in narrower sense. What the travel
er sees in the cliffs Of Havre is his
small valley in Limousin.
The idea of country does not spring
from, but il is certainly strengthened
by, all the thought that common in.
terest and common life may reveal. A
festival, a popular reunion after a vic
tory or ljSt the end Of the grain or wine
harvest gave birth TO the idea of the
