citizens who believe that their rights have
been peremptorily dealt with. There Ger.
tainly are grounds for a rchearing when it
is considered that the commission granted
the compauys request for dissolution vir-
tually without notice to tho public. Tho
scrtion may be yentured that this Is the last
public service corporation in Virginia which
will be permitted to dissolve under similar
circumstances. 1t never was intended by
the trainers of the law by the legislators
whose votes put it on the statute books to
make it apply to common carriers possessing
the right of cmincut domain in such manner
to enable them to withdraw their trans
portation facilities from tho people arbitrarily
and without let or hindrance Ordinary con-
sdcration should impel the giving of proper
notice. at least. This defect in the law un-
doubtcdly will be cured at the coming ses-
sion OF the General Assembly.

At Last = War Council

WHEN the Secretary Of War created
w council consisting OF himself, the
assistant secretary. the chief of staff and the
chiefs of the War Department bureaus, he
did obviously necessary thing in the drec
ton Of cooperation for the supplying NUM-
tioning and maintenance OF the American
armies in the field. This board is designed
to bring the War Department, in which CEN
tiers the military activities at home. into i'm
mediate contact with the expeditionary forces
which are to operate i'll the field.
1t is little surprising that the country
has been at war for nearly nine months has
transported tens of thousands Of to
France and undertaken the ratoning and
arming OF troops abroad from America.
without direct and intimate coordination OF
all the agencies in the government to that
end. 1t seems that this matter would have
called for action the day the first division
Of American troops set foot upon French soil.
Apparently the military establishment as
a whole has just realized what certain in
diriduals i'll the War Department realized
months ago. namely the enormity Of the
job OF operating a great army 5000 miles
away from its base OF supplies. This job
would be big enough If the supplies were
transported by land routes It would be big
enough if they were moved to the front across
an unmenaced sea. But TO deliver food. am
or even 100000 men beyond ocean alive
with deadly submarines Is the most stupen-
duous undertaking ever engaged in by
helligerent nation
Yet with true American boldness and true
American resource this government proposes
to fight Germany with more than 1000, 600
men. transport them through the war zone,
keep them armed and supplied from home
bases and defy every natural or hostile bar
rer which stands in the way of this accom-
plishment. To do this TIE closest possible
cooperation between the official headquarters
in Washington and the field headquarters in
France is absolutely necessary. The closest
possible cooperation between the heads OF
bureaus in the War Department who deal
with overseas problems must be maintained
The step taken by the Secretary OF War is
intended TO bring about such united effort
The only wonder is that the importance of 2
general war council in Washington was not
recognized months ago.

Was such Haste Neces..rys


To tho Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-four paper this morning con-
tains an account OF the. closing of the
Richmond and chesapeake Bay Electric
Line operating between this city and
the town Of Ashland. From II. 1t would
seem that tho Corporation Commission
lost no time in complying with the re-
quest tsr dissolution made by tho
stockholders OF the road, and why such
haste was necessary is puzzling. The
on the recent decision In the Farmvillc
and Po~hatan railroad case. but arc
the cases similar and should not the
public interested have been given the
opportunity TO show that such is not
the case?
Courts are created for tho purpose
OF preventing the violation of con-
statute that would result In aiding
party in the violation OF a contract
duly entered into should BIO avoided by
court. and yet in your article this
morning you state that the road had
outstanding contracts for passage over
us line, that were violated and broken
1t is TO no borne in mind that the
road owners do not claim that the
company Is bankrupt. but only that
give certain figures TO show such to
be the case.
In the same article It is stated that
operating between Washington and this
city. which necessitated far greater
original outlay than would have been
the case II 1t had been constructed to
operate only between Richmond and
Ashland. The question naturally arises
should the public be held responsible
Tor the excessive original expense and
should II be expected 10 pay the in
tcrest charge on this expense? This, II
seems. should have been considered
and both the public and the company
given an opportunity TO be heard prior
10 inc entry OF the order
Again. the company gives as one OF
It's reasons for dissolution the fact that
months ago II pctitioned the Corpora
ton Commission for relief by the re-
auction OF it's schedule. but that no de-
Glslon had ever been rendered by It,
In other words, II bases it's claim for
dissolution. partly at least. on the fail.
act on 4 matter It had in hand, but
surely the public is not Responsible
for that
1t Is claimed by some. and the figure.
given by the company seem TO bear out
the claim. that II the road had been
constructed originally at the same cost
per mile as the line between Peters.
hurg and Richmond, which la also own
ca pE inc same parties. IT would be
to-day paying interest charges. as
we'll as dividends. provided the bond
issue did not exceed the cost of con-
struction.
Surely 1t seems that the public ha,
rights, as to which Il should have
been heard before tho commission en-
tered the order OF dissolution
