Edison Company
Expected to Comply
With Rate Order
May Request That Ruling Be
Not Extended to Com
mercial Rates

The New York Edison Company will
announce its decision TO the Public
Service Commission to-day as 70
whether it will comply with the COM
MISSIONS ruling and reduce electric
light rates to : cents & kilowatt hour
on July 1. Directors Of the company
met yesterday, and, it is understood,
practically decided to surrender and
adopt the ruling of the commission
without further opposition.
Several hearings recently on the
company's application to maintain the
nresent II. cent rate resulted in tho
denial of the application by the com
mission, on the grounds that the COM
pany had not shown that its present
financial condition warranted the Keller
asked
Apparently there was some oppos'-
ton among the directors 20 the adop-
ton of the lower rate at yesterday 5
meeting. Arthur VI. Williams, genera.
commercial manager OF the company,
after the meeting adjourned had a
conference with commissioners h0dge'

probable action Of the company, 1t was
evident that the commissioners eX-
pected compliance.
Ii is believed, however, that the
company will suggest a conditional sur
render. to the extent Of requesting that
the reduction in rates shall not be eX-
tended 70 the commercial or trade
rates. The commission ruled that this
scale should be spondingly re-
duced, with the Z cent rate to the
household consumer as a basis.

Watch Out For Submarines

Evidently the ruthless school was
losing faith, whatever the cause of
its discomforture. The stronger patrol
of the allied fleets, the havoc wrought
by the depth bomb. the difficulty of
breaking through conveys escorting a
score of merchantmen, and last but
not least, the problem of manning the
submarines-all may ave combined to
convince the German Admiralty that
the game was up, But this would not
explain a collapse of the campaign,
would not explain last weeks tally
Gwindling almost to nothing. Is a deep
game being played by the willy and ever
resourceful German Government? 1t is
conceivable that, submarine %frightful-
ness being destined to failure, there
will be a resort to audacious prcpa-
ganda to influence public opinion in the
United States against a continuation
Of the war. Germany is. equal to
abandoning the submarine campaign
which she cannot win. n then bid
ding the American people ponder that
the cause which brought them into the
War no longer exists or has disap-
peared. Why then, a further waste Of
the resources of the country and un-
necessary effusion of blood? The ap-
peal would be caught up by our So
cialists and pacifsts and the Govern
ment would be embarrassed in it's
conduct Of the war. There could be
only one answer. America. which had
entered the war to save democracy,
would be true to her purpose to the
end. and there must be no parleying
with the Germany of the scrap of pa
per, the Germany of innumerable
atrocities, the Hohenzollern and the
Hun.-New York Times.
Our New York neighbor appears
convinced that we must not only look
out for submarine U-boats but for un-
foreground diplomacy" The world
hates to admit that it is being con-
stantly outwitted and out-maneuvered
by a moral monster, but it must use
its best brain and muscle under one
direction from now on or that will be
the result.
