WHERE Is THE GERMAN FLEET H1DNG7

Is another big sea battle pending and will II
be the decisive one of the European war; There
are some who believe this to be the case although
there is no definite information ms TO the location
Of the German fleet
After striking blow at the British coast
which for impudence and audacity was on par
with the robbery of a police station, the German
squadron from Kiel has disappeared into the miSts
and no one has very clear or definite idea where
it has gone
The natural assumption is that the ships made
for cover at full speed But did they really do
this Or if some went back to their base, did they
all do ito Is there any assurance that during the
uproar other ships not yet in evidence may not
have taken advantage of the opportunity to slip
out into the Ocean' II any of these things has hap
pened where are those German ships now and
where are they going'
This question is one of considerable Importance
to the British nation. The Irish coast the Bermu.
das, Newfoundland, Canada with its winter ports
OF ST John and Halifax, all naturally loom mp as
possible objectives to say nothing of the immense
and demoralizing menace which powerful flying
squadron would constitute to British commerce
II Is believed that as many as eight battle
cruisers may have participated in the attack on
the English coast Such q fleet could materially
cripple if not completely halt merchant shipping
on the Atlantic to the serious menace of the
French and British food supplies
In the absence of positive knowledge to the
contrary it is not beyond the possibilities that the
Germans may even be seeking the British squadron
that recently sunk the German Pacific fleet off
the Falkland islands
Until Great Britain knows definitely whether a
German fleet has escaped into the Atlantic and il
so how strong a one il must suffer great deal of
anxiety.

AN INCREASE OF THE FREIGHT RATES

The permission accorded the eastern roads to
raise their rate per cent except upon about haIi
their business is applauded in business circles gen
orally at the same time that one member OF the
commission declares it to be absolutely immoral
Il is difficult to understand what kind OF mind
a commissioner has who thinks it is immoral to al
low public service corporation to make living
There is hardly business man in the country who
does not know that taken as a whole the railroads
have been no narrowed in their income that they
have been unable to keep pace with the demand for
better service.
The roads have not been allowed to charge n
fair return for what they did for the people and
at the same time they have been virtually com
PEELED TO do business for the government in the
way of postal and mail service at figure millions
below what they were entitled to for that service
on any fair basis,
As it stands the government still continues to
deal unfairly by the roads but when the business
men of the entire country are rejoicing over .
slight advance in rates, there is no excuse for a
commissioner to insist that the advance is morally
wrong
While the cost of living in every direction has
greatly advanced in the last few years while the
cost Of labor has risen and the price of supplies
to the roads has shared the upward movement to
marked degree the roads have received a lover
rate of income on the average than when the in.
crease in price started in everything else.
1t was question of being allowed to charge
something in proportion to the cost Of running
road or of lessened power to serve the community,
and that meant immense loss to the business world
for transportation is certainly the life of trade to
a degree that never was true of competition.
