When Will 1t End

Every time City Attorney Bond goes to In
dianapolis to appear before the state public utili-
ties commission he returns with news that de-
pletes the pocketbook of the consumer of gas or
water. Either he or the commission is a jinx.
And the ink has cost the citizens Of Richmond
some money, too. We hope the Legislature
makes it unnecessary for Bond and the state
commission to meet so often, for news of in
crease in rates has become so commonplace that
the newspapers do not believe it worth big heads.

Clamor for Ruthless Submarine Campaign

Voices in the Prussian Diet favor vigorous
prosecution Of the war and increased submarine
activity. The rejection Of the German peace
overture evoked a feeling that it was now bat
tie to the utmost for the Fatheiland. Leaders OF
the Conservative party advocated complete free
dom be given to the military leaders to carry on
unrestricted submarine warfare, declaring that
the German people were ready to bear the con-
sequences.
We believe the mass of the American people
have come to the same conclusion. If the Allies
persist in trying to starve out Germany and re-
main steadfast in their determination to wipe
out the German nation, then the Germans are
justified to fight for their very existence and to
resort to the utmost means to preserve their
country.
An active submarine campaign which might
include a patrol of the American coast outside
the three-me limit would soon prove to the
Allies that Germany could make good her threat
of preventing American made munitions from
reaching their destination. Germany can expect
no favors from the United States anyway, SO she
has nothing to lose by resorting to an unrestrct-
ed submarine campaign
