body in the United States who wants
us to have fair play and is not over
weighed by German sympathies or by
a desire to make profits at our ex-
pense may reasonably be invited to
put to himself the same question"
The reply. says the Chronicle
breathes the same friendly and prac-
tical spirit which characterized the
American document" The editorial
ends by saying:
I'VE believe that the American gov
ernment and people will appreciate the
cordiality and genuine good feeling
pervading the British note throughout
just as the presence of the same quail
ties in the American note was warmly
appreciated by ourselves"
The Daily Telegraph, in an editorial
says it is confident that the British
reply will be recognized in the United
States as 4 reasonable and straightfor-
ward handling of an unavoida BILE diff
Guilty. and adds:
There will, undoubtedly, at the end
OF the war be a number of claims for
compensation founded on alleged un-
warranted interference with neutral
carSoes, but there need be nothing
more than that SO long as the Ameri-
can and British governments deal with
the matter in the temper which is now
common to them. It is not impossible
That the traders in the United States
who feel most bitterly the pressure OF
iced that business, and do SO at enor-
nous profit. In their case the only
thing TO be said is that one has no
right to blockade runners prices il
there is to be no effective blockade"
The Times. in an editorial which
mainly consists OF extracts from Sii
Edward Grey's note. says:
1T seems to be excellent in substance
and in tone, and we feel confident that
1t viii meet with a favorable reception
across the Atlantic.
With all the good will in the worlC
the task of discriminating in favor oi
neutrals is exceedingly difficult ant
delicate. The fact that only forty-five
out of 713 American steamers proceed
ing for neutral states had their cargoes
brought into court seems to prove that
we have exercised our belligeren'
rights with moderation. We believe
that the British position set out in Sir
Edward Grey's reply will be under
stood and appreciated in the United
States"

Property and Life.

The Post, in an editorial, says:
Sir Edward Grey has courteously
shown that the bulk of the trade with
! which interference has been made has
not been long established. but has
grown in a way that would be miracu
lous if it had been really intended for
the neutrals to whom it was exported
Sir Edward Grey puts a very strong
| case with great moderation.
The British nation and the British
soldiers and sailors who are fighting
and dying for England have good rea-
son to complain of the policy of his
majesty's government. The war will
drag on and many brave Englishmen
will die because the government has
adhered to the new conception that
property is more sacred than life
Contending that there is no sense in
Distinguishing between foodstuffs in
tended for the eneIny's armies and for
the enemy's subjects, the Post COM
plains that the British government
has made England fight at sea with
one hand tied behind her back in
obedience to certain liberal doctrines
which are respected by no one save a
handful of pacifists and doctrinaires."
The Daily Graphic. in an editorial
says:
"In face of the figures given by Sir
Edward Grey there can be only one
answer to President Wilson's protest,
-
phaticaiy BY the American people
themselves, when they understand the
issue, IS it must be given by the Brit
isil government
Clears the Way for Agreement"
"Sir Edward Grey's reply" says the
Daily News, clears the way for an
agreement with America. He offers
solid arguments against the suggestion
that the British fleet is responsible for
any shrinkage in American trade and,
since the English and American princi-
pies of international law are assimilat-
ed SO closely and there is utmost readi-
ness to make it's administration thor
oughly just, the prospects of an early
and full agreement ought to be very
bright
The Daily Citizens, the labor organ,
in an editorial says:
1.-The British government comedies the
position that trade between the United
States and neutral countries shall not
be interfered with unless that trade
bears upon our national safety. 1t is
substantial concession. and yet. as be-
tween friendly countries, it is sensible
and just. We accept, as it were. the
burden of proof because as we propose
to act the proof should present 40 diff
ficulty This is a distinct evidence of
good will and we can hardly doubt that
it will be reciprocated by the Washing
ton government.
The Daily Express says it considers
that Sir Edward Grey's reply should
admirably satisfy all the requirements
of the delicate situation
I'VE do not believe" the Daily Ex-
press adds, that the American people
outside the (Iermanized section and the
copper interests will raise any valid
objection to our exercise of sea power.
They are business men and they are
that we are fighting for life
The Standard in an editorial ex-
presses the confident hope that the re-
ply will contribute to AN amicable set
Element of the question. 1t says that
happily neither here nor in the United
States has there been any tendency to
hamper the negotiations by sharp or
petulant comment.

DATE SET FOR HEARING
TOB. 80. COMMUTERS
Plans Under Way for Making
Strongest Possible Case
Before I. C. C.

Commuters using the Metropoiitan
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road will be given a chance January
27 to appear before the interstate COM
merce commission and give their rea-
sons as to why the proposed increases
In commutation rates. now under suS-
pension, should not be allowed to be-
come effective. The commission today
! announced the date for the hearing,
and Commissioner Daniels Will hear
the testimony.
Although the commuters have not yet
completed the collection and compila-
tion of their evidence, }. q. turley OF
Garrett Park, Md, secretary of the
Metropolitan Branch Commuters Asso-
citation, declared that by the 21th the
commuters would be ready to go on the
firing line and show the unreasonable
ness of the proposed increases in the
rates.
Adding to Membership.
Every effort is now being made by
the association to increase its member
ship, and today a circular letter is be-
ing sent out from the office of the sec
retary to every commuter along the
line. asking: will you help?'
"The larger the membership says
with which We can speak in your be-
half and the influence we can exert. 1t
is believed that with your solid support
the association will be able to secure
results that will prove of substantial
benefit to you and to the people of
Montgomery county in general.
Outlining the ease as far as ii has
developed, the letter says:
AS you are aware, the comm sSloIl
post poned until April 20. 1915, the CT
fective date of the proposed commute
ton rates, and also that OF the pro-
posed changes with respect to l3ml!y
tickets. Every one can easily determine
what this means for him in dollars and
cents, regardless of the final adjust
ment of rates, to say nothing OF the
question of property values.
Some Increases Effective.
Eve regret to say that, notwith-
standing our representations, the new
tariff canceling the two-day round trip
tickets from Metropolitan branch
points above Rockville to Washington
and vice versa. was permitted to go
into effect. This action on the part OF
the interstate commerce commission is,
however. without prejudice, to our
right to enter formal complaint
against this change, and 1T is
hoped and believed that the scope of
the hearing already provided for viii
be broadened to include investigation
of this phase of the situation. The as
sociation will do all in its power TO
bring about this result.
THE changes in passenger rates on
the Metropolitan branch between sta
tions in the state of Maryland are now
under investigation by the executive
committee, to the end that appropriate
action may be taken with respect
thereto. 1t was impossible to prevent
these intrastate rates from being put
into force because the Maryland public
service commission has no power to
suspend such rates until they have be-
come effective
