THE HAGUE. March 2.-Commenting
on the sinking of the Laconia, the
Tages Zeitung of Berlin says:
She was clearly one of the British
convertibles. sometimes used as pas
senger ships. sometimes as auxiliary
cruisers. Such a distinction by the
British. who are conducting a hunger
war against the German nation, is alb
surd. Moreover. after the general
warning of February 1, there is no
such thing in sound common sense as
sinking without warning"

Brief Filed by Company.

The brief filed by the company as
serted that 1t would he unjust and I'M
fair for the commission to base rates
on the valuation of the property as an
nounced by the commission last May;
that that finding and order are not final
and cannot be made the base of rates
to be charged during the tendency of
50 would to that extent be destructive
of the very subject matter of the APP
peal. and pro tanto of the right of the
appeal. and would thereby deprive the
respondent of the right to charge rates
prescribed by law pending a prelim-
mary investigation in respect thereto
before such preliminary investigation
has been legally completed"
other points brought out in the brief
are the statements that by reason of
present extraordinary economic and
possible for the commission to foretell
with reasonable certainty what rates
will be fair for the Immediate future
and pending said appeal. and that there
is every reason to believe that all
grades of material and labor will be
Increased in the near future.
1t also is alleged that the same prob
abilities exist as TO the cost of coal and
other kinds of materials; that the clos
ing November / of saloons, which are
large users of electric light. will deplete
the revenues Of the company approx
mately 100000, and that the going into
further cut the revenues of the company
about $4,000. 1t further is contended
that the widespread agitation for exer-
icse of economy by householders will re-
duce materially the consumption of
electric light.

the nation to keep STEADY. If We are
not mistaken the answer of the nation
Will be to it's leaders, keep steady, too.
The nation was never steadier than it

and we are not sure that it needs the
help of the press to keep up its nerve.
On the contrary, it could do without
some Of the help it is, getting from the

Britisher), always being represented rs
II he were in towering rage with
somebody or something, growing at
his food and generally swearing at
everybody. That does not represent
him. As a matter of fact he is good
tempered. forbearing. patient. trna-
cious old gentleman Who has cultivated
the habit of never giving in, once he
had made up his mind about it. There
are people who think the ma ton is like

driven by a rapid succession of petty
explosions. and unless they always hear
it spluttering they think the machine
is at a standstill.' (The Northcliffe press
has just published cartoon of John

his hand like Mr.. Squeers. threatening
to thrash the old gang of which Lloyd
