Colonel House said that peace was
not in sight. No basis existed now on

and the situation was hopeless in that
direction at the present time, he de-
clarcd.

warning countries are truly the gov
crninC element he said, land their
sovereigns and leaders would risk de-
structon of themselves and their gov
ernments. if they were not guided by
what they knew was the overwhelming
sentiment of their nations. The people
of no country in Europe to-day, l be
lieve, would accept peace, except as
victors."
Colonel House was surprised to learn
that newspaper Investigations showed
that war prices for foodstuffs were re-
garded as serious menace to Great
Britain Nothing he saw or heard gave
him that impression, he said. On the
contrary, he declared, the war had
paradoXically made the laboring classes
of all the countries more prosperous.
He said there was a demand for labor
which could not be met by the supply,
and an increasing need of production.
A year ago idleness and starvation,
with wide industrial disaster, were
feared in Europe, he said, but war had
exactly reversed the prophecy.
Colonel House intimated that he had
already been in communication with
President Wilson since he returned to
this country on the American liner st.
Paul. but he would not say when he
planned to go to Washington.

COURT RECALLS
ITS OWN DECISION
Jersey Body ReverSeS Ruling Oil
9O-Cent Gas Rate, Laid Down
Six Months Ago.
rBy Telegraph to The TriOun..l

Trenton. n. j., June l4.--What
amounted to the recall of judicial de-
cision was recorded to-day when the
Court of Errors and Appeals reversed
itself in regard to the 90-cent gas rae
in what is known as the Passaic Divi-
sion. The Court OF Errors six months
ago reversed the decision Of the Su-
preme Court in unfolding he action Of
the Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners in fixing 80 cents thousand
feet as the price to be charged by the
Public Service Gas Company.
The order of the court to-day was
by the following vote: To affirm the
lower courts decision: Chancellor
Walker, Justices Trenchard, Kalish and
Black, and Judges White and Terhune.
To reverse: Chief Justice Gummere,
Justices Parker and Berger and Judge
Vredenburg.
There were no members Of the SQUIRT
who reversed their opinion, but Judge
White and Justice Black heard the sec
ond argument. but did not hear the
first Judge Bogert, who voted TO re-
verse the lower court, has since died,
and Judge Heppenheimer did not sit
for the second argument.
As counsel for Paterson and Passaic,
George L. Record asked TO have Judge
Heppenheimer barred from sitting dur
ing the trial. Judge Heppenheimer
withdrew voluntarily. 1t was alleged
that he was financially interested in a
company that held millions Of Public
Service bonds.
This is the first time in the history
OF the court that public opinion has
forced a new argument and has forced
the court to reverse itself. The point
that caused the most controversy IN
the first decision was the doctrine laid
down in the opinion by Justice Parker
that a franchise had substantial value
and is subject 10 taxation. In his
opinion filed to-day, Judge White takes
The opposite view of this theory. He
said that the company's contract with
the state TO charge reasonable rates IS
one that cannot be evaded, and the
commercial value Of the company's
property right in its franchise can have
no effect in fixing the rate 1t can
charge

u. S. Flag Follows
Citizen, Says Lodge

Lynn, Mass, June 14.-United States
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, in a
speech to-day eulogized the American
flag as a symbol of protection for
American citizens, saying: Wherever
an American goes lawfully and obsery-
ing the law, there the flag goes with
him, and there it must ever go. We
cannot afford as a nation TO allow the
humblest citizen among US to suffer
in any way wrong or injustice. We
cannot suffer American lives TO be TAX
en- illegally, and we want only justice
without seeking redress.
"The flag may call upon US again for
protection, and when it does, believe
the response will be the same. But
bear this in mird, that if the citizens
protect the flag, the flag must protect
the citizens. For II the flag does not
nrotect. the citizens, in time TO come,
will not protect the flag. We must
protect the flag, and in so doing pro-
tect each one of as"

Colonel Edward NJ House, confdant
and reputed envoy of President Will
son, slipped away from Roslyn, Long
Island. last night, where he has been
staying since he returned from Europe
at the home of his son-in-law, Gordon
Auchincloss, and came to the city. To-
day he will probably so TO Washing
ton to see President Wilson. fester-
day to all inquiries he declined TO say
when he expected 10 see the President.
His departure from Roslyn, as well
as his movements after he reached the
city, were surrounded with considera-
BILE secrecy. It was said at the Auchin-
Gloss home last night that he had gone
TO New York and would be at the Ho-
tel Biltmore He was expected at the
Biltmore early in the evening, and mes
sages for him were received there, but
he did not appear.
When seen at Roslyn yesterday he
denied with a show Of good humor that
he went abroad as a diplomatic envoy
of President Wilson to see if there
were any channels through which the
United States could work for peace, and
to sound the official German attitude
toward this country. He declared he
went to Europe purely as an annual
pleasure, but was glad to be back be-
cause of the Inconvenience of travel he
found on account of the war conditions
ut is literally true that nothing
which may happen to one in Europe
now is a surprise, he said. Life
there is as unreal and irregular as a
nightmare. The only Americans | met
travelling were those like myself, who
