less in Strike.

According to City Attorney Camp
bell the Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph company has no fran
chisc, but operates under "A law passed
in 1907 which allows lighting, heating
and communicating corporations to
establish a system anywhere without
further permission.
The franchise which the company
operated under expired IN 1911" Mr..
Campbell said. THE franchise was
granted to the company for 20 years
In 1891. In 1907, before the expiration
of the franchise, the state legislature
passed this law. AS result of it. the
local authorities have no power to
end the operation of any company of
this character"
Law Benefits Company.
Does the law In your opinion give
the company an upper hand In en-
abling IL to operate as it sees fit?" he
was asked.
"Ycs. II does" was the answer, ''ror
the only power the city has over the
company Is a police power, which Is
only good to prevent them from OBJ
structng the st.eets with poles and
wires"
what do YOU consider the power of
the utilities commission In this case?"

The utilities law states very clearly
In my opinion that the commission has
the authority to compel public utility
companies to give good service. II
does not. | admit. give the commission
the power to settle strikes, but | be-
lieNc the commission could go ahead
and order the company to render scrv
ice and thus compel immediate solu

actually settling the strike themselves
II they gave the order believe tho
strike would be settled. The commits

The state utilities commission en-.

enough to announce that they had ne
, authority to settle the strike. This
word came by telegraph to Mayor vii.

what the city's action would be rcla.

may ASK MORE DRASTIC
ESPIONAGE REGULATIONS
Countless Rumors of Work
of German Spies Floating
About Country.

Washington, July 6.-Although Off
cials here take little stock in the more
sensational spy rumors that have fol-
lowed the submarine attack on the
American expeditionary force, 1t is not
unlikely that the agitation may result
In more stringent espionage regula-
tions, particularly with regard to out
going mails and cables.
No general realignmcnt of the spy
detection machinery of the government
Is contemplated, 1t was said today, be-
cause officials consider that results of
the present system have demonstrated
its efficiency. 1t has been declared
that startling revelations of what al
ready has been accomplished might be
made If 1t were considered in the pub
lie interest.
Would Avoid Hystsria.
The government realizes that such a
course probably would serve no good
purpose and might generate spy
hysteria OF dangerous proportions. 1t
also would warn the spies themselves
OF the methods employed by the Amer
lean investigating agents.
In view of the loyal attitude of the
large body of German Americans, it
Is considered particularly important
that there be no hysterical agitation
and no unnecessary engendering of
suspicion against the foreign born.
That the efficient German spy sys-
tenn Is operating In this country is
considered by high officials as one of
the inevitable circumstances of the
war.
MuzzIe on Cable and Mails.
Nevertheless many officials believe
there should be a closer government
control of outgoing cables and legis-
lation to that end may be asked. It
is possible also that power will be
sought to censor outgoing mails.
Whether this would cover mails to all
countries or simply to those not now
covered by the British mail censorship
is uncertain.
The British have secured an enor-
nous amount of Information from mail
inspection, especially as to German ac-
tivities in neutral lands and trade in
trigues.
eurlsson Opposes.
Postmaster General Burleson said
today that he was opposed to any mail
censorship to neutral countries on tht
ground that 1t Is not necessary.
Communication to Spain will prob
ably be first Investigated as messages
sent there via Cuba do not in any wa,
come under British surveillance. Th'
government knows that there ar,
many wireless plants IN Spain and th'
Germans there undoubtedly are com
municating dire;r With Berlin,

SECRETARY BAKER
LAYING PLANS
Fer Indefinite Period of War-May
Not Close Before 1919
RUSSIA PRACTICALLY OUT
U. S. Army And Navy Officers See No
Signs OF An Early Peace Little
Concern Over Italy.

Secretary OF War Baker is about to
submit estimates that will cover war
costs until the middle of the year
1919.
The close of that year represents
the earliest estimate of high ranking
army and navy officers as to the end
OF the war, and many are skeptical of
conclusion by that time. In any
case, the war cost program is contin-
aous and so shaped that the struggle
can go on and be financed indefinitely
When will the war end?' was the
question put to high rank army and
navy officers whose views have thus
lar proved reliable. The definite con-
clusion resulted that there is not a
chance of a solution before the win
ter Of 1919, unless unexpected politi-
cal or other circumstances within the
Central Powers alter the whole sta
tus.

To the Editor, Evening Capital:
The suffrage victory in New York

the closely approaching national en-.
franchisement of women in this
country. Yet the victory in New
York does not yet mean the enfran-
chisement of women in Maryland and
other States deprived Of this right
Miss Lucy Branham, of Baltimore,

ing to be held tomorrow afternoon in
front OF T. Kent Green's drug store
The speakers, another of whom will
be Henry Clay Patterson, of Balti-
more, will speak from an automobile
at that place at four-thirty o'clock.
Miss Branham is we'll known here
She was the guest of Mrs. William
Spencer Murray at the time of the
special session of the Legislature last
June, and in August held suffrage
meeting at Acton" Mrs. Murray's
residence on Murray Hill AS one of

Miss Lucy Branham is a graduate
OF Washington College, Chestertown,
Nd. She took two-year post grad
uate course at Johns Hopkins uni
yersity, Baltimore, and a three-month
course at the University of Chicago
she was the winner Of $1,000 prize
scholarship to the University Of Col
umbia. which she sacrificed to serve
sixty-day sentence at Occoquan foz
picketing. She holds a $1,000 Carnegie
Prize medal for saving the life Of a

When such women as Miss Bran
ham can justify the sacrifice Of per-
sonal opportunities in the cause Of
suffrage, the victory must come. and
the result be in proportion to the
cost.

think OF the personal and financial
sacrifice
which our own DR.. Finney, DR..
Baer and many others are making
for us.
When a business man leaves his
business for while his earnings
therefrom continue right along
Not so with the Doctor. When he
leaves not only do all of his
earnings cease, but he even loses
his practice to those who stay at
home.
Think of the sacrifice of the Sol
der and Sailor. He gives up fam
lily, friends, salary, position with
chance for promotion, ordinary
comforts Of life, and possibly even
life itself He is ready TO endure
terrible hardships; he may return
home wounded, manned for life,
blind. insane or diseased.
One OF Baltimore's greatest law
yers. quite a wealthy man, too, a
few days ago stated: "FOur
months ago j decided to give up
every cent Of my income until
this war is over and to devote
practically all Of my time to help
to end it. Also not to worry about
the decline in investments, as
do not have to sell them. and the
income from some viii doubtless
continue normal"
What is the average business man
d0ing9 He is straining every
nerve trying to pile up more
money, enjoying family, friends
all the comforts and many of the
Iuxuries of life. He takes only a
passive interest in this awful
war and does almost nothing to
end It. Wake up! The attitude
OF the Lawyer cited must become
more general.
Liberty Bonds bought as a "sacri-
ilce' last May can be sold today al

Bond and Stock has greatly de-
clined in value. Such sacrifices
are making it very hard for the
average nan to ease his conscience
with the thought that by making
the safest investment in the

ing his full duty.
The least that each Of us who stay
at home can do is TO give accord
