Curiouslv enough the most active
navy recruiting station in New York
is right under the Benjamin Franklin
statue, In Printing House Square.
This is where the German propaganda
lists worked the hardest In the early
period of the war. Every noon hour.
in 1915. there was a crowd OF sew
eral hundred men here, consisting of
little knots. each gathered about two
vociferous takers.
The method of operation Of the
propagandists was not to make
speeches. Instead. each had a kind
of cappcr,. with whom he started a
heated argument. Passersby would
stop, hoping TO see a fistic fight and
would be drawn into the argument.
In this way the Germans hoped to
get their ideas right into the minds
OF the people, even those who did not
read.

A Lower Rate for Electricity

The decision of the Public Service Com
mission that the New York Edison Com
pany must live up to its agreement to re-
duce rates to cents a kilowatt hour
on July l is eminently sensible. II had
good precedent, to be sure-the decision in
the 80-cent gas litigation that no amount
Of talk about a confiscatory rate would
prove anything, while a trial of the rate
would soon show whether the company
could live and make fair profit. The sit
uation here is parallel. Six months ago
the electric light company, having agreed
to reduce the rate from cents to ~
cents an hour, agreed further to reduce it
to cents if conditions warranted. other
wise to 20 back to the Scent rate. In the
present proceeding the company did not de-
clare an intent to 90 back to the Scent
rate; il sought merely to be relieved from
coming down TO cents.
No hardship is imposed on the company
by the commissions ruling. The conditions
feared by the lighting officials are not yec
at hand. Daylight saving is not in general
operation. The Great White Way shines
bright-and the money goes into the COM
pany's Golfers. The ordinary individual
can see no evidence that families or hotels
or mercantile establishments are cutting
down on the use of electricity more than
the usual sense Of economy dictates. The
lighting officials are apparently the only
persons who fear Zeppelin raids and the
darkening Of the city. II at some future
time all these dire events and others mar
rated as reasons for the suspension of the
promised reduction come to pass, there will
be nothing TO prevent the Edison company
from seeking a new rate. based not on con-
lecture, but on proved state Of facts.
The company has surplus Of about
100000, 900, accumulated in about sixteen
years, held to be used for emergencies. If
that should not suffice. the Public Service
Commission would doubtless come 10 its re-
