signed by Miss Jessie R. Haver. ex-
ecutive secretary of the Consumers
League, states, in part:
1--WE realize that conditions in
Washington have been unprecedented,
but even before these unusual condi-
ti6ns caused by the war had arisen
the service given by the street car
companies was inferior to that OF
other citiesI Especially was this
true Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company"
II is further stated that in the
hearings before the Senate commit
tee IL was proved that employees Of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company were being most unfairly
treated in regard to the rates OF
wages, and, further!S that they were
denied the right of collective bar
gaining to better their conditions of
work.
ain the face of such a record we
believe that increase should be al
lowed this company only under strict
specification as to the use OF the ad-
-ditional funds. The increased fare
should be allowed only for the period
of the war, as the new rates of
wages paid the men are to be allowed
only for that period"

WITH THE A M E R c A N
ARMIES IN THE FIELD, May
2o.-Development of the German
offensive indicated that Ludendorff
istends to drive a wedge through
the Franco-British lines between
SCISSORS and Rheims.
The German apparently al
ready have thrown in twenty-five
divisions. The French and British
are putting up a dogged resistance.
There is every indication that the pres
ent attack is part Of the original Ger
man offensive plan. 1t is known that
Iudendorff prepared two great attacks,
one against Amtens ana the other
against Rheims. The Amiens thrust
having been checked last month he is
now trying the Rheims sector.
If the German attack on Rheims Is
secondary its objective is tying UP of
the allied reserves TO prevent their IN
tervention in the final offensive to the
northward Army officers who doubted
that the Rheims push was the main new
offensive are still unconvinced that the
Germans so intended it.
