ANOTHER KICK IN THE FACE

Full details of the Persia horror
are still lacking, but these facts are
cially reported to the United
ates Government by our consul at

froth in her wake.
The Persia was destroyed and her
sseRgers and crew were allowed
perish without a sign of help from
submarine. They never had a
ance for their lives before the ship
Is struck. They never had a finger
ted in their behalf afterward.
At least one American citizen, an
icial of the United States Govern
mt, was among the many unarmed
u defenseless human beings who
ire slaughtered.
This massacre, in the number of
\ ksons butchered and in the delib-
crate and cold-blooded atrocity of
the act, approximates the Lusitania
atrocity of nearly three-Guarters of
year ago.
All this after the interminable

BUNcOMBE OUT IN ELECTRIC
RATES

The Times prints today in its news
columns the first of series of ar
ticles, exposing the precise facts
about the buncombe reduction in
rates for electric current, announced
some time ago by the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company
It was stated the reduction applied
to electricity for heating and cook
ing. That use of current was to be
popularized; great boon was being
conferred on the public.
AS a matter of fact, the reduction
will not popularize electricity for
such uses at all.
It will not apply to the domestic
uses of any ordinary establishment.
Not to exceed seventy-five users of
current in the whole town will be
able to get any benefits from it.
The whole reduction proposition,
| in the light of the investigation
which The Times has made, looks
more like a confidence game than a
good-fsith performance.
1t is a pretense at doing some
thing, something that it does not
really do, and an avoidance of doing
what ought to be done; namely, re-
duction of rates for light, which are
outrageously high in this town.
All this will be demonstrated be-
yond uncertainty in the articles of
which The Times begins publication
today.
SfT There are especial reasons why
The Times urges everybody to read
these articles. They will not only
expose the bogus character of the
alleged "popularizatiOn" of electric
ity for domestic uses other than
lighting, but will show how the pub
lie is bilked into paying excessive
rates for light, while vast profits
from these excessive rates go to sus-
tain the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, the corporate
owner of the Potomac Electric Power
Company.
There is still another reason why
these articles deserve. careful read
ing and close attention. They will
give a startling insight into the real
i animus, motive, and spirit of the
dealings of certain public utility in
terests with the public.
We are just entering upon the
serious effort at public regulation Of
the utility corporations of this juris-
diction. There has already been
ample evidence that certain of these
are determined to resent and to balk,
by every possible means, all efforts
to control them. The facts that will
be brought out in these. articles will
give the public an understanding of
the reasons for rjthis attitude, and, of
the difficulties that confront agencies
entrusted with conserving the com
munity interest. ..
Especially is it desired that legis-
lators, who at last must determine
the measure of protection to be given
the people of Washington in these
regards, shall familiarize themselves
with this presentation.
| Washington does not govern itself
But it is entitled to something bet
ter than to be made an object of
derision, victim of grim jokes. 1t
deserves the more serious considera'
tion at the hands of those who dc
govern it, in view Of its inability to
help itself.

Persia Horror StirS
Anger of the Editors
Some Declare 1t Austria's Real Answer to the United
States But Majority Advise Suspension of Judg-
ment Pending Receipt of Facts.

I'd a postscript TO the Vienna reply by
torpedoing the Persia without warning.
Austrta's position with respect to sub
marine warfare will have to be consid-
cred in the light Of that additional mes
sage. Persistent disregard by Austrian
submarine commauders of the sacred
commandments OF humanity which vi
emma has just pledged itself anew to
observe would produce n graver sttua-
lion than that with which the two gov
ernments have been dealing. The con-
tradiction of words By deed would have
to be considered an aggravation OF the
original OHense."
ST.. Jo,tts, Repubttc--"The torpedoeing
of the Persia without the removal of
her passengers to a place OF safety
has stirred the American people to a
degree beyond the power OF words to
EXPRESS. Deeply anxious to avoid war.
With It's incalculable horrors. this
dastardly act brings us face to face
with the possibility of It, II the
United States should have to draw the
sword II could do IL in no better
cause than the defense OF the inviolas
bility of non-combatRnts pursuing the
errs nds of peace on the open sea. The

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Great indigna-
ton has been aroused in the press OF
the country by tho torpedoing Of the
Persia. But the ma ajority Of the editors
seem to advise against hasty action. and
suggest suspension of opinion until the
facts have been obtained. Hore are some
OF the views:r

world that the inhuman practices to
which we have objected would not be
repeated. The good faith OF a great
nation is involved in this matter, and

inauspicious for Indulgence in specula-
