BRITAIN WILL FEEL HURT.
Fleet Under U. S. Flag Could Carry
Food to Germany or to ANY Nation.

London, Aug. lS-Tne report lnGl-
eating the impending acquisition OF a
great German merchant feet by Amer
leans has caused uneasiness and there
is a possibility tina, It will arouse h-
ritation in this country. and probably
in the countries of all the allies.
If there suddenly comes into being a
great flee, OF American steamships the
German food question will be largely
solved. for ships carrying the Ameri-
can flag would have the liberty of the
high seas and might possibly enter the
North sea German ports. Certainly in
the present condition of affairs they
could enter the 4Adriatic with complete
freedom.
If the new law makes possible the
purchase of the German ships at New
York by Americans there is likely TO be
criticism here. possibly starting with
assertions that Americans can not re-
sist the appeal OF the almighty dollar.
Some will say that the transfer is
merely German subierfuge.
President Wilson'S attitude of neu-
trali,y has been highly praised here.
and England feels that Americans in
general sympat1ize with her. 1t is felt,
however that if the German ships
thus obtained should begin carrying
food TO Germany this would create a
painful impression here, altho it is ad-
mitted that the purchase is well with
in the neutral rights of the United
States

PROMISE DELIGHTS MANY POLES
Proclamation Intended to Counterfeit
Appeals Of Germany and Austria.

proclamation Intended to Counterfeit
Appeals Of Germany and Austria.
ST. Petersburg. Aug. lS.-The procla-
nation to the Poles. promising auton'
omy with freedom of language and re-
lision, has thrilled Russians and Poles
alike and is the first official indication
OF the vast historical changes to which
the war is likely to lead.
Reports from Warsaw state that the
proclamation has aroused great en-
thusiasm there. At a meeting in st
Petersburg yesterday afternoon Pole
declared that this appeal was the flrst
victory for Russian arms Many Rus
slams shed tears of joy when they
read ii.
The idea of special proclamation TO
the Poles had been ripenins in Russian
official circles for some days past. Elk
cellent results have attended the mo-
bilization in Poland. order and self
restraint have been observed BY the
Polish population and the speeches OF
the Polish representatives in the couu-
ellis OF the empire, and more partlcu-
larry in the dnma, have made a favor
able impression with the government
and encouraged il To express its atti-
tude by this special act
The proclamation is partly intended
TO counteract the proclamauons dis
seminated by German and Austrian
officers in Poland, and its moral effec,
Is calculated 10 be VERY great. Coming
from the commander in chief, the proc
lamation has straJegical significance.
but it also has broad political signiii-
canoe which is likely TO he further en-
phasized in still more solemn declar-
alton To be promulgated shortly.
Russians of all shades OF opinion,
even those who have hitherto held anti
Polish views, welcome the proclama
ton. Several Polish leaders have open
ly declared they are delighted. They
say that all Poles are strongly opposed
TO Germany, and tho the Poles have
held good position in Austria, they
felt a growing distrust OF the Austrian
government on account OF its pro-Ger-
man and anti-Slay policy. The only
hope for the future of Poland. they de-
clare. is its reunion under the Russian
crown. In this view all responsible
Polish opinion concurs
The fact that three Austrian regi-
rlents wearing the Polish costume and
singing Polish songs may enter Poland
and arouse temporary excitement
among The uneGucated classes is not a
matter of more than passing signifi-
canoe. All The Poles with whom
spoke. including the nationalist leader
Dmowski and Deputy Dymsza. insisted
that the interest of the Poles at this
moment and especially after the proc
lamation. are wholly on the side OF
Russia Poland has long been a weak
point in Law policy, and the grand
dukes proclamation suggests an effec-
tive solution.

Penny Phone Service.-The people
OF Chicago may not appreciate it
now, but am sUre-the time will come
when they will understand that Aid.
Merriam rendered a splendid public
service, in intelligently fighting the
attempt to have council give the
cIty's consent to the absorption of the
Automatic phone plant by the Bell
phone trust.
know of no city that has better
chance to get penny service with a
phone in every home, through NUM-
cipal ownership, than Chicago has
now.
L believe if council will investigate
it will find that the Illinois Tunnel Co.
has forfeited its telephone franchise.
if not its tunnel franchise, by failing
to comply with the conditions of that
franchise.
l believe also that the Automatic
phone, properly managed, is a better
service than the old-fashioned Bell
phone; and that this city could easily
and economically establish municipal
phone service.
With phone service so. cheap that
there could be phone in every
home, Chicago people would benefit
more than by any system of subways
that can be devised and paid for.
And believe penny service is easily
possible under municipal ownership.
Aid. Merriam led the fight to save
Chicago from an absolute telephone
monopoly, and the aldermen who aid
ed him also rendered a great public |
service.
l would like to see a telephone
system in Chicago run for the benefit |
of the people instead of for the en-
richment of stockholders in private
ly owned telephone monopoly.
If the people could see their oppor-
tunity it wouldn't be long before thew
