tSTRATlON.

The interurban skip-stop schedule,
which has been bone of contention
in Ottawa since its Inauguration last
August without any consent of the ad-
ministraton, again became operative
this morning with the adoption of a
resolution resembling the action of the
council on Oct. |, when the c., O. & p.
was ordered to stop all its cars at all
street intersections.
The switch in policy came in the
wake of two letters-one from the
state fuel administration and the
other from F. T. Fisher general su-
perintendent of the railway. The fuel
administration called upon the city 60
permit the skip-stop plans continua.
tion as a fuel saving measure Mr..
Fishers letter contained mixture Of
threats and questionings of Ottawa's S
patriotic integrity After the rea1ing
Of this communication came the wrath
Of the council upon Mr.. Fishers head,
with the result another piling was
taken out from under the interurban's s
fastly crumbling tiguratiye bridges
hereabouts, Besides being in a vein
that smaCked of fippancy the Fisher
document was not intended to make
any friends for the interurban.
The paragraph 70 which the council
took justihable exceptions follows:
In view of the fact that we are
simply carrying out instructions OF
the government, when we put this ar
rangement into effect, | am surprised
at the action of your city, which, at
least, make a pretense at beng very

Then the threat came in the follow

The letter being more enlighteninl

KEEP TIE BEAST ACROSS THE SEAIS DUTY OF AMERICA History Shows What Our Fate Will Be if Hun
 Wins War MUST SACRIFICE FOR OUR HARDNESS Some Food for Thought for Those Who Think Europe Should
 Settle Her Own
 Troubles
By JOHN REED SCOTT

The American always makes the mistake of judging every other nation by the American standard We do not allow for racial nor national traits and customs. Because an American wouldn't do some thing. we fancy that no other nation would do it. It's against our conscience or against our laws-or we just don't do it. There fore, We assume that it must be against the other nations law or con- science-or it just won't do it.
 And we have this peculiar idea, not by reason of any self-coneeit or fam cied national superiority, but because of our proneness to play square; to grant that the other nation is of the same mentality as ourselves and as ready and anxious as we to do the right thing.
 What we, as a nation. aim at in our dealing with other nations is the ulti- mate right in a concrete form And we are slow to realize-and quick to forget, when realized-that other na tions either may not have the same policy tmay even be robbers and brutes by natural instinct,) may not have the national altruistic idea-the try to live by the Golden Rule and, as a nation, be satisfied with what it has

 The photoplay feature, Jewel Carmen in fThe Girl With the Champagne Eyes" is one of the best and most meritorious Fox has produced in some weeks. This is Jewel Carmens second appearance as lone star for the Fox pictures. Loew's Current Events and comedy pictures are as excellent as usual, and therefore. deserving of mention.
