DIR. WILLIAM DRAPER LEWIS

Especial Transit Adviser to Mayor Smith,
II would be not only unwise but
practically impossible to construct
the city's system as planned if 1t is
to be operated as an independent
system.
II is not practicable to operate e
city's system and the company's
system as unified system unless
the city leases its system to the
company.
1t is not practicable to negotiate
a lease of the city's system to the
company. securing to the city the
payment by the company of rental
equal 20 the interest and sinking
fund charges on the bonds issued to
pay for its construction, unless the
company has reasonable assurance
OF being able to charge a fare which
will enable it to meet all its obliga-
tions and pay dividend to its
stockholders.

able time If the city's system is to be
operated as an independent system
1T is submitted that your petitioners
have negotiated a lease the funda-
mental features of which are legally
sound. Furthermore. that in view of
the need of the city for the extensive
high-speed facilities which the city
plans to construct. is the only kind of
contract and lease which can be nego-

of Philadelphia the advantages of a

viii Turn
Slav Resistance Against
Huns Inevitable.

Sooner or later the Slav reha issance
when 1t comes, then the German rule
and regime in Russia is doomed. Fur
Their than this, the arrival of this day
OF Russian awakening must be has
tened in Russia as 1t was in Italy, by
the excesses of that native aristocracy,
maintained by foreign bayonets the
prototype of the aristOcracy Austria
established In Milan--that Germany is
TO set mp now in Riga, in Warsaw, in
kiev. When one realizes how much a
little people like the Serbs have en-
dured in the last five centuries, since
their really flourishing empire fell be-
fore the onrush of the Turk and stiT
preserved their nationality and their
desire for liberty, it is not difficult to
believe that the Russians, in their
own time, viii escape the German yoke.
Actually the German has borrowed
the method of Napoleon to carve the
Russian territories and the system Of
Metternich to enslave the conquered
populations. There has been nothing
as reactionarS as anti democratic AS
the treaty of rest -Litovsk. with It's
actual as well as its implied provisions,
since the congress of Vienna and the
subsequent Holy Alliance of the auto
cratic empires Conspired to abolish the
consequences of the French Revolution
and insure the permanence of the bless
ings of ahsolutism. The same prin-
ciples which Metternich denied, the
principles of nationality and q: democ-
racy. have been denied by those who
for Germany drew the later treaty.
The very arrogance of the German
demands. the very extremes To which
the JunlSers have carried their ideas.
are in the future certain to prove fatal
to their real aims. Economic and politi-
cal slavery have been imposed upon
millions and millions of Slavs, Rus
slams, Polish, Lithuanian. even lkrai-
MAN. The way has been prepared to
reduce these races to the condition of
conquered populations in classical
times. And looking back in history ii
viii be seen that every attempt of this
sort. since classical times. has led to
swift and sure disaster for the state ut

Bolo pasha was il most useful

WEDNESDAY, APRIL II, 1918.
IN NORTHERN FRANCE.

Let us not kid ourselves as to
the situation in France. 1t is Sc
rious, ''beyond the peradventurc
of doubt" as our old friend Colo
mel Nolan loves to say to jurics.
The news on our first page IS
depressing. The Huns are not far
from the channel ports and are
moving ahead. 1t is only neccs-
sary for the amateur war expert
to know that three important
strategic points, Baillcul, Wul-
verghcm, and Wytschaetc have
been taken by the Huns since
Monday and that Ypres, the scene
Of the ficrcest fighting in the sec
Ond year OF The war, is in great
danger. The Hun steam roller
moves onward, despite resist
ance that must furnish one Of the
finest chapters in the long roll Of
British valor.
The British line bends but holds
and until the British and French
armies are separated and de
stroyed, all Of the ground won by
the Huns will be of no military
advantage in their final, desper-
ate struggle to end this war with
q single battle. A great mobile
French army, reported on the way
to the Ypres salient has not ar
rived, as yet. It's terrible race
for time on both sides and the is
sue will soon be determined, we
think, though the struggle for ter
ritorY in either direction may
continue for a considerable time.

WHY HORSES ALWAYS
SLEEP STANDING UP

Horses seldom lie down to sleep,
Throughout their entire hives most of
them sleep while standing on their
feet. The reason for this is believed to
b, that the horses are afraid that an
insect might crawl into their nostrils,
This is a very likely explanation when
We consider that horses nostrils are
the most sensitive part of his body,
says Popular Science monthly, II the
insect could not be removed it could
easily irritate a horse to death Many
horses will not lie down because they
have once been "foundered," that Is,
unable to get up unassistedf
Another curious fact about sleeping
horse is that ne seems always to keep
his faculties working. His ears. for
instance. keep constantly twt ching and
he seems TO hear the slightest noise
Because OF this. it would probably be
impossible for a man to entef n stable
quietly enough to prevent his waking up
every horse in it. Horses a9t pecu-
liarly also in time of fires They will
burn to death rather than rush out
from the stalls. D..

China has also a city called L. in the

First Steam Voyage
Across the Atlantic

This spring marks the eightieth an
niversary of an important event in
modern hiStory-the voyage from Cork
To New York of the Sirius. the first
vessel to cross the Atlantic wholly I'M
der her own steam. All that remains
of that stanch little craft is a number
of brass paperweights made from her
metal work after she was wrecked in
Bahycotton bay, in 1Si7. Captain
Roberts, commander of the 4l2-ton
Sirius on her maiden voyage, was la
ter transferred to the President, which
went down with all on board. Thus
both the Sirius and her master met a
tragic end.
The Sirius made the voyage from
Cork in Is days, reaching New York
only a few hours before the Great
Western, another steamship which had
been sailed from Bristol. The latter
made the best time. crossing the ocean
in Is days. The Sirius had passenger
list of seven on her initial voyage.
the youngest of whom was Vincent +.
Ransome, then four year old. who was
reported living a few years ago in
Wiltshire, England. where he was long
the rector of a parish church.
The arrival of the Sirius and the
Great Western marked the beginning
of steam passenger traffic between
Great Britain and America, although
a number of years passed before the
steamships Offered much advantage in
speed and accommodations over the
sailing vessels. The Sirius was a
schooner rugged ship and was lis feet
