If at that time the railroads win, they will continue charging three cents mile. In the meantime. all tickets sold at the three cent rate will bear coupons good for rebate of one cent per mile, in case the railroads lose. An effort was made to pass a three cent law at the last session of the legislature, but was not successful A two and half cent law was also proposed. but that was likewise de- feated.

obsessed with the notion that IL he
will but stand firm he will, at length
gather an approximately unanimous
nation at his back, and make him
self a savior or at least a great
leader Of patriotic sentiment. That
he is pitifully mistaken seems plain
enough to everybody save himself; 1;
even to many of the military and
political supporters of his regime
who would be glad to follow him in
an effort to restore real peace on
the basis Of an adjustment satisfac-
tory to all concerned. However
much Carranza may proclaim his
exalted purposes and his lack Of
any motive Of mere personal
aggrandizement, his course is pre-
cisely that which would be expected
of man moved by the most selfish
considerations. He proclaims that
Villa and his leaders must either leave
the country or be tried by military
court; and there is small reason to
doubt the quality of swift venge-
ance that this embittered and mar
row old man would mete out If he
had the power.
There ought to be some avenue
through which Washington could
break down the hold of Carranza on
his military and civil associates in
leadership of his faction. He does
not command unquestioning obedi-
ence, as was proved when he drove
the Villa following into antagonism.
There are serious, understanding,
sincere men to whom it should be
possible to represent the facts about
this country's sentiments so forcibly
that they would realize the danger
of blindly yielding further to the
leadership of the blind.

FRENCH LOANS ON COLLATERAL

Perhaps France, after all has
Sound the way to raise in the United
States with the least difficulty war
capital to be sent here in buying
supplies. This is not to sell Ameri-
can securities owned in France, but
to borrow money here from our
banks, with those securities put up
as collateral under thr loans.
They are good securities; there is
none better on earth. A New York
city bond, a Pennsylvania railroad
bond, any security of the kind has
the same value whether expressed in
terms Of any currency that exists.
The French banks and the French
people can get their credit here,
make their purchases against it and
yet continue to own their American
securities, which, in these war times,
are of Incompatible value. The
farmers, manufacturers and mer-
chants of the United States can sell
their products and wares and get
their pay for them in the cold Amer
lean cash which they want.
French credit arrangements in the
United States, based on American
stocks and bonds sent over here and
put up as collateral, will be highly
novel, ingenious and interesting. 1t
may be no less successful.
The Washington times., 1915-06-24
AS TO STAYING AT HOME

Ambassador Page sends word
from London that in spite of efforts
to prevent, Americans insist on COM
ing to Europe, and in increasing
numbers; that they do not even take
the precaution to arm themselves
with credentials of their government
in the form of passports; and that
the British authorities are getting
less and less complaisant about these
American infractions of the pro-
prieties.
The present is no time for Ameri-
cans to go abroad who have not real
business there. They are better off
at home. What is more to the point,
even if these adventurous travellers
have desire to see and experience
war, their presence in Europe is an
embarrassment to their government
1t ought not to be inflicted with the
obligation to look after people who
don't know better than to 20 out
seeking trouble. The foreign office
has all the kinds of difficulty on
hand that it needs. If Americans do
not begin to use better judgment
there is danger of rigorous measures
being adopted, both here and abroad
that will have a grave effect in
future.
All Europe has been disposed to
much consideration of Americans
in the past. Let strict passport and
other regulations be necessitated dur
ing this war, and it will be hard to
get them revoked later. Merely in
the interest of their desire for COM
Portable methods Of travel hereafter,
Americans ought to yield to the de-
sire of both their own and Europe's
governments, and keep away from
the Continent and the United King
dom this season..

War Raises Wages
AS Well AS Cost of
Living in England

LONDON, June A.-War as a wage
raiser has brought to a considerable
proportion of the laboring classes in
England some compensation for the in
creased cost of living. Social workers
estimate that the increased cost of liv-
ing averages at least 10 per cent, while
the average increase in wages is not
over 5 per cent. The plentiful supply
of overtime work available in most
trades makes it easy for most workers
to more than even matters.
The upward tendency of the English
workingmen's wages was marked IN
March. The official board of trade re-
ports show that increases granted in the
month reach,k total of almost 1856, eco
The number of work people who shared
the increase was 10000.
Increased wages in some of the lead
ing branches of industry are summed
up briefly as follows:
Railway men-'All around increase OF
70 cents week.
Longshoremen-InCrea varying from
% cents to 81 a week
Policemen-War bonus of 10 cents a
week and upward.
CarpenterS-War bonus or h TO Sl.Jo
Miners-Employers generally offer 10
per cent advance in pay; miners demand
- per cent.
Postal emDlONpS, lnNluuiHS ltlCpIlOHt
and telegraph workers-lncrease OF 81
week has been demanded.
Gas workers-Increases averaging 81
week
Bakers-Increase of S1.25 a week asked,
hut erlployers' offer of 10 cents accept
cd pending negotiations.
Textile workers-Bonus for overtime
work in factories doing work on army
clothing.
4 10 10 nor cent granted in some cases.
C'onprrsmiths-ANC wage before
war, s.. now. $3.50.
I'lerks-Snme increases: $1,000 grocers
assistants have asked readjustment OF
wages, similar movements penang III
other branches.

THE ALLIES RIGHT OF WAY

The interest of the diplomatic
world is centered for the moment
upon the effort of the quadruple en-
tente to induce Bulgaria to ioin
them in the war. The Berlin re-
port that they have demanded of
Car Ferdinand that he mobilize
Immediately and march against Tur-
key is not altogether unreasonable.
Bulgaria is waiting for her price,
just as Greece and Roumania have
waited. Bucharest appears to have
been satisfied by concessions made
by Russia, and with Bulgaria and
Roumania in, Greece could not keep
out, no matter how much her ruler
might desire to maintain her neu-
trality. The Greek nation already
has declared for war.
Bulgaria is temporizing with the
allies. in one sentence seeking more
definite information concerning her
reward, and that to be allotted to
Roumania and Greece, and in an
other pleading that the two Balkan
wars left her exhausted. But the
allies are not in a mood for dalli-
ance, or for any subterfuge that
will postpone the issue in the Bal
kans, upon which the campaign not
only against Turkey, but against the
Austro-Germans may depend. Great
Britain especially, chief spokesman
for the allies, has had enough of
plans going agley. Greece was to
have entered the war many months
ago.
1t develops that the Anglo French
fleets did not expect to reduce the
Dardanelles in moment, but count
ed upon the cooperation of Greek
land forces. All the arrang, .nents
were perfected for the swift dis
patch of Greek troops to the Gallip-
oil peninsula, and in return, Greece
was to receive Smyrna, the vilayet
of the same name and the Smyrna
coast to the Gulf Of Adalia. But

THE MAN CARRANZA

Every week adds to the accumula-
tion of evidence that Venustiano
Carranza is the one serious stumb-
ling block in the way of composing
troubles in Mexico. A stiff-necked
old man, not to be denied recognition
of his personal courage and a con-
siderable measure Of ability, he has
seemingly got his mind SO bent that
there is small chance to straighten
it out without breaking something.
He is incapable of understanding
that the sort Of service he is giving
his country, no matter how high his
motives, is not service at all; it is
injuring, not helping, the cause. He
has steadfastly refused to meet the
Government of the United States
halfway or any other way, and he
has been just as obdurate in his
bitterness toward the opposing fac
tion of constitutionalists in his own
country.
The situation is the more danger
Gus because, while Carranza has
been issuing defiances against the
United States, and the Villista lead
ers have been indicating their will
ingness and even wish to accommo.
date themselves to the counsels of
this country, Carranza has been
