more than hundred years old before
the first act to regulate commerce was
approved. The Interstate Commerce
Commission came into existence as an
authoritative body only dozen years
ago, and interstate traffic was "handl-
ed with care" up to less than year
ago, when the Government took over
the railroads. Strangely enough, all
traffic transportation wholly within
a single State is exempted from the
plan provided for in the operation of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
In consequence, the forty-eight vari
cites of supervision and control that
Mr.. McAdoo's organization thought it
necessary to get away from in operat-
ing the railroads still generates the
policies for all the electrical trans
mission and power companies in the
United States. This would not be an
impossible condition were it not for
the further fact that within each
State every community has its own
processes in dealing with the desti-
mics of the transportation companies.

AMBASSADOR GERARD WANTS
KAISER EXTRADITED.

Extradition of former Emperor
William, of Germany, from Holland
and his trial in England on a charge
of murder, for which he has been in
dicted there, was urged by James w.
Gerard, former Ambassador to Ger
many, in an impromptu address be-
fore New York theatre audience.
Asking whether man shall be al
lowed to escape who had KILLED so
many people that if they were
stretched on the ground they would
form line almost around the world"
Gerard answered his own question
with an emphatic 81 should say not"
There is treaty between Hol-
land and England" Gerard declared,
"by which they can extradite the for
mer Kaiser, who has been indicted in
England, and try him before an
English Court. / guess we all know
what the verdict would be. When the
hangman drops the trap he will be
doing away with one of the worlds
greatest murderers"

"The Strain of War"

1.-THE whole structure of the fran
chise relationship between electric
railways and the various communi-
strain of the war;" declared P. H.
Gadsen, one of the best authorities
connected with war work in Washing
ton, in addressing the American
Electric Railway Association. The
street railway entanglements in all
sections of the country, have fur
nished the most difficult-and the
most interesting problems that have
confronted the administration of war
industries. The conditions with ref
erence to the rapid increase in cost of
materials, wages, etc., and the de-
crease in the purchasing power of
the nickel, have turned the relations
between the companies and the COM
munities into topsy-turvy state.
Mr.. Gadsden, in his address, observed
that The economic laws of supply and
demand when unhampered, have
taken care in perfectly normal way
of the increased cost to the consum-
er. 1T is only in those industries
where the public has attempted to fix
a just and fair price for service rem
dered and where the artificial stand
ard has been substituted for the nat
ural one, that we find this complete
breakdown under war conditions" he
added.
A tabulation representing sixty
three per cent. of the electric mileage
of the United States shows a falling
off in income of eighty-two per cent
for the first six months of 1918 as
compared with the same period last'
year. The National War Labor
board has increased wages in the in
dustry over 800, 0000,000 year.

The Sleepless Wheels.

Thinking in millions (of men)
costs us no effort now. When the ad-
ministration gave notice that a mill
lion men had crossed the Atlantic we
experienced a variety of thrills. Then
we got used to the idea, and the news
of 100000 left us tranquil.
When we learned that a large part
of our contingent were noncombat-
ants certain oversensitive people felt
a degree of modification. The star
spanglef feeling was cooling off.
These oversensitive ones would
feel more chesty if they could see the
noprombatants at work. Less than a
year ago there was an unreclaimed
swamp near "a French port. Your
Uncle Sam has drained it, covered it
with a series of workshops bigger
than the Capitol at Washington, and
out of it he throws high caliber guns
like sausages out of Chicago. He
stacks machine guns on freight
cars like an elevator vomiting grain.
and away they go to the front. And
manysof his larger guns contain
about 5000 parts.
In another he found workmen
quarrying by hand to prepare con-
crete roads to the trenches. He in
stalled mechanical excavators, and on
the fourth day was loading cars as
fast as they could be hauled.
Up and down France he is building
Pittsburgs and Bethlehems from
which Pershing, draws his supplies in
a ceaseless food. And in the Krupp
works at Essen where exhausted serfs
toll vainly to keep up the pace, they
are learning from him what a real
war is like.

Fuel and Power.

The world is thinking and talking
about coal, and in the reconstruction
plans with reference to power that
have been developed in England, give
a good deal of attention to the need
of electrical energy to supplant steam
in industry, and in consequence cut
down the consumption of coal. The
best minds in the United States are
agreed that the transmission of power
by electricity from central generating
plants will solve not only the coal
mining problems, but the excessive
demand for transportation will also
be lessened thereby. England is act
ually perfecting plans which will
supercede the present inefficient sys-
tenn of furnishing power through a
comprehensive system which will di-
vide the Kingdom into sixteen dis
tricts, instead of six hundred, as at
present; and in each of the districts
there will be a recognized authority
to deal with all the problems of gen.
Grafton and distribution. A similar
process has been suggested by the
Smithsonian Institution, and if will
seek to cerate eenters or sites in the
United States suitable for electric
generating purposes in order to SIM
plify distribution. The plan is to
develop electro-chemical processes in
close proximity to power plants. If
the new plans carry through it will
not be many years before the greater
part of the coal utilized for power
purposes will be burned near where it
is mined.
When private ownership adjusts
itself to public control, as officially
urged in England, it will be entirely
possible to bring about an amalgama-
tion Of existing power companies.
The British report defines how COM
pany and municipal plants can ope-
rate on entirely Independent plans
through the aid Of Federal agencies
that will be helpful to both Of them.

Better Mail Service

At the beginning of the war the
Postoffice Department announced it's
opposition to any curtailment or re-
striction OF the postal service, and in
the face of adverse conditions has
endeavored to maintain this policy.
The .disarrangement of traffic condi-
lions throughout the country incident
to war is no doubt generally recog-
nized, but it is felt that if one fea-
ture is brought clearly. to the atten-
ton of the business world much ben
efit will result to all.
At present it is the practice Of
many business men and firms to hold
practically all outgoing mail until the
late afternoon or early evening hours.
This neceSsitates the facing, cancelIa-
ton, distribution, pouching and dis
patching of from sixty to eighty per
cent of all outgoing matter within a
period of three or four hours. It is
apparent that if this work could be
distributed over twelve or fourteen
hours not only would it be handled
with greater facility, but it's dis
patch would be FASTENED many hours.
Realizing fully the losses and in
convenience which may result to bus
mess men and other patrons because
of delayed mails, the Department is
utilizing every available facility and
straining every nerve to render the
best service possible in the circum-
stances. 1t is believed that the, bust
ness men of the country can be of
invaluable assistance in meeting the
situation, with little or no additional
expense to themselves. by making
some slight changes in their daily
routine. Obviously it is of the ut
most importance that letters be post
ed promptly, to secure their dispatch
on the first scheduled train, as fail
ure to make connection is now
much more serious than in normal
times and might result in a delay in
delivery of twenty-four hours or
more. ~ -
Attention is invited to the advisa-
bility of signing and preparing for
dispatch all letters and other mail
accommodating UP to noon, and Of
mailing them at that time; thus a
considerable quantity would be in
transit to destination before the close
of the business day.
In view of the foregoing, it is ur-
gently requested that business men
consider the great advantage to BE
gained by both the Department and
the public if they will adopt the prac-
tice of depositing their mail in the
postofice OIL. street. collection boxes
not only earlier in the day but as fire.
quently as may be feasible. 1t would
also tend to relieve congestion and
facilitate the handling and dispatch
of the mails if heavy mailers would
make it a regular practice to have
all letter and circular mail, as we'll
as catalogues, pamphlets, circulars,
etc., bearing uncanceled stamps prop
erly faced for cancellation, with the
short and long letters separated.
The Postofice Department desires
to emphasize the fact that it is not
urging this action as an economical
but for the purpose of meet
ing, as far as possible, the present
situation incident to war
activities.
