Advantages of Natural Gas

. ALTIMORE is agitated once more by a
- renewal Of the effort to carry natural
gas from the West Virginia fields to that city
The gas company, now heretofore. is much
in favor of the project, and is supporting it
enthusiastically, while Mayor Preston de-
cares that natural gas would revolutionize
manufacturing in Baltimore"
The plans of the promoters Of this enter
prise are said to contemplate supplying Rich
mond well Baltimore and other cities
and the matter certainly deserves careful
consideration here.
So long Richmond owns and operates it's
own gas plant. the city probably would not
consider the distribution OF natural gas, save
through the city mains. 1t would not admit
competitor to take away the cream of the
business. OF course, it should not, because
1t Is important to the whole community that
collective enterprise be not subjected to
injurious and perhaps destructive competi-
ton.
There other problems, however. Nat
ural gas is not adapted to purposes of illumi-
nation, with the help of nantes, and
Its economic utility is found in cooking,
heating and manufacturing. The city, If it
undertook the distribution of natural gas,
would have to construct separate system of
mains or abandon the sale Of artificial gas
altogether.
On the other hand. the advantages would
be great. The city could purchase natural
gas. delivered at its door by the central COM
pany. al price which would permit profitable
sale to private consumers at from 40 to so
cents thousand cubic feet No Richmond
housewife. in that event, would be likely to
endure longer the dirt and inconvenience Of
the coal range. Natural gas would be used
largely for heating residences. The use OF
gas in the industries would be tremendously
increased. as manufacturers would obtain it
at from l 5 to As cents thousand feet, de-
pending on the quantity consumed.
How likely it is that Richmond will have
an opportunity to get natural gas we have.
no means Of knowing There is room for
thought however, even in the possibility.
Certainly 1t should be as available to us and
as profitable and advantageous as it is to
Baltimore.

Some Good Already Won

THOSE of us who are inclined to be i'm
l. patient with the slow progress OF negotia-
tions with Germany should not forget that
through the statement of the American posi-
ton substantial results already have been
attained.
Germany has retreated from her original
attftude-that neutral vessels traversing her
so-called war zone did at their peril, and
that she would not be responsible for their
accidental" destruction Now she declares
submarine commanders have been urged to
take extraordinary precautions to avoid such
"acciderts,' and where American ships have
been attacked has offered PREPARATION.
Furthermore, and a direct result of the
Presidents protests, there have been in prac-
tice marked changes in the manner of con-
Quoting submarine warfare. Germany has
obeyed the rules, save in the single case Of the
attempted destruction Of the Orduna. The
policy of "frightfulness" has been enjoying
n maritime vacation.
1t is true the principal issue has never been
settled. That involves Germanys pretension
that she has right to destroy unarmed and
unresisting merchantmen and murder their
passengers and crews She has never formally
abandoned this pretension, but she had
until the incident Of the Orduna--seemed to
have abandoned it in practice.
The gains made have been considerable
and they have been attained without war with
Germany, and even without the severance Of
diplomatic relations. The note to be dis
patched this week may advance yet further a
peaceful solution of the differences that exist
If that solution can be found. without sacri-
flee OF national honor or dignity, the whole
country, with few jingoistc exceptions, will
applaud Mr. Wilson's course and feel deep
satisfaction that the terrors and horrors OF
war have been averted
The issue, however will rest hereafter
with Germany. Reports from Washington
have it that while the note will be friendly,
1t will also be final. Germany must decide
whether she wants to continue at peace with
the United States.

THE resolution pending in Council which
calls the Administrative Board to
recommend such legislation as may be neces-
sary TO enable the board to improve the ser
vice furnished by the Gas Department ought
to be adopted. 1t seems wise and proper and
likely to produce good results.
The Administrative Board on several oc-
casions has blamed antiQuated and hampering
laws for deficiencies in gas quality service.
The exact character Of this restrictive egs-
lation has not been precisely pointed out, and
it would seem fair that Council should be
appraised just how its own ordinances or those
Of its predecessors have failed 10 meet the
situation.
Certainly laws that defeat efficiency should
not remain on the statute books, and if new
laws are necessary they should be passed.
Council wants to be shown. Having received
the buck from the Administrative Board,
Council now prepares to pass il back-and
the board will have to ante put down it's
hand

Germany's Defense

= ERMANY justities the cruelties practced
~ on the civilian population of Belgium by
the statement that Belgian civilians carried
on deliberately planned guerrilla warfare
in violation OF the Geneva convention and the
established rules Of international law.
This ingenious defense is made in the
course Of the German reply to the findings
OF the British commission, headed by Lord
Bryce. From tte lips Of Germany it comes
with grace truly remarkable.
Germany entered Belgium in defiance not
only of the established rules of international
law, but III gross and shameless violation of
her own plighted word. She that had sworn
to uphold and protect Belgian neutrality de-
vastated and manacled that whole once happy
land Doubtless individual Belgians did dis
regard the rule against civilian participation
in war--and bitterly did they and their towns
people atone for their offending
But for Germany to combine Belgium and
law and right in the same paragraph excitcs
plain disgust
