''7he Fare of 20 Years Ago Is Not Fair To-Day"

Inc Administration IN Washington has
freely expressed itself on the Importance of
local communities dealing promptly and fairly
with Public Service Companies which are
bound by franchise provisions of pre-war
tunes to render service, and more of it, under
the unprecedented abnormal conditions exist
ing to-day-not that the Government cares
one rap about those furnishing the service.
Its principal aim now is to Win the War and
its interest in these Utilities is essentially be-
cause they are important factors to that end.
The ability of our local transportation svs-
tenn to adequately serve the community and
the Government in this section is measured
by It's ability to finance the increased costs
created by the abnormal war price of everv-
thing.
1T HAS NOW REACHED A POINT
WHERE 1T CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE
10 ABSORB THESE HEAVY INCREASES
in OPERATING COSTS, AND UNLESS
The FARE is INCREASED, THE CONsE-
QUENCES WILL INEVITABLY Ref ECT
IN THE SERVICE.
Our company is heavily interested in Rich
mona, financially and otherwise, and it real
ICES that its FUTURE depends upon the ser
vice it renders TO-DAY.
For this reason it asks the cooperation of
It's patrons in granting it fair fare at this
time.
Straight 5 cents is all that is asked. Isn't
that fair?

will put his latest gain of ground.
June approaches. the Boche has disclosed much,
If not ALL of his hand; the military party has un-
coaked its fixed program of plumber and conquest;
parliamentarism and civilian influence in German
affairs are all but extinct. We inclined to be-
lieve, with President Wilson, that "we are at the
very peak and crisis of the war;, and that the Ger
man offensive is continued now not because the
shrewdest brains of the general staff believe it pos
sble to gain the coveted decision over the allies,
but because they dare not stop it. This can be
said without minimizing the real danger in
voved in the situation and the very real advantage
the enemy possesses through his temporary SUI
beriority OF man power Whispers are heard that
there arc new accessons OF German strength on
the Western front, that the conquered and subject
peoples on the east of Prussia have been made to
pour their Youth into the Hun soldiery; that the
Russians and the Ukrainans are being impressed
into the machine. The screws also will be put
more and more heavily Austria to conform to
the Prussian military purpose; and it is more than
possible that Germany will be able, for months
and even years to como, to match the accessions
to allied strength through the coming Of the Amer
can legions by exploitation OF her new subjects.
Nevertheless, we are inclined to believe that the
present summer will be decisive, that the doom OF
Prussianism is being written in the days that are
passing swiftly before our eyes

Remembering still the old graves which are hal

The old graves long Since blending green the erst-

Yet as mother, while she scants no elder OF its

So now we strain our sight across the far Ahantics
And give our tenderest tribute to the naked, new

Remembering, too, tho home-graves of the ones
whom death denied :.
The privilege of service in the battle they died.
Who faced and fought but could not win that conf
bat with disease,
But who are equal heroes with their comrades
overseas;
Yet half | think no well-kcpt mound at home but
somehow
To be the close companion OF the newborn, naked
graves.
Remembering those who sailed and fought to keep
the waters free,
And those whose only battle was their struggle
with the sea,
Whose windng-sheet is ocean-toam, whose head
stone is the sky,
Who bravcly went to death for us--for who
know not where they lie;
Yet like to think them rescued from the Tipping,
And grading with their brothers OF the naked, new
born graves.

WHEN In DOUBT EAT CHEESE

Whereas in 1881 we shipped abroad
nearly 15o.0O0.000 pounds of cheese, in
1914. just before the war cut off our
trade, we shipped only 100000, says
William Leavitt Stoddard in the
Mothers Magazine. We simply did
not appreciate cheese, and we came
to rely on other nations for our sup
ply. We relied on foreign cheese
makers to such an extent that where
as in 1900 We bought only 1850. 900
pounds from abroad. in 1914 we bought
nearly five times as much, or 81, ,0OO, 900
pounds, much of which could and
should have been produced in the
United States. 1t is bound to lake
some years to reverse this drift Of
things.
By legislative fiat or court decree
no governmental power can induce
folks to eat cheese. Perhaps the war
will do what courts and congresses
cannot. Perhaps the scarcity OF meat
will turn US more to cheese, good,
solid, digestible. outstanding food.

Wilson Is Right.

The President is absolutely right in advising
Congress to take plenty of time for ehaotng new
war tax law devoid of the nequtics of the present
legislation and his plan to take the additional funds
out of incomes, profits and luxuries will have
the solid endorsement of the country.
Every patriotic American is with the President
in his view that the people will bear any tax
burden necessary, provided that the same is justly
laid The first peeling has hardly been taken off
the abnormal incomes, prohteerng and lux
uries The willingness of the common folks to
serve and sacrifice has been demonstrated in the
liberty loan and Red Cross campaigns. The Pres
ident makes burs-cye when he declares that "the
prohteering that cannot be got at by the restraint
of conscience and love OF country be got at
by taxation" Sound, sensible and just to his
general policy of taxation, President Wilson
will undoubtedly do his mightiest to give the ma
ton revenue legislation equitable and just in its
particulars.

A Hopeless Case.

The conversation in a Washington club turned
TO the difficulties encountered by the bill collector,
when Senator Joseph T. Robinson, OF Arkansas,
releated little story along that line.
Some time ago a collector sent to extract
some long overdue money from a party named
Brown, and was told by the maid who came to the
door that he could be found in the garden.
"Mr Brown" said the collector, on approaching
his man. 81 came to you about your account
with Smith, Jones & Co. Couldn't you arrange
whats that, young man. interjected Brown,
putting his hand to his after the manner OF
deaf people. 80
Smith. Jones Co, returned the collector in a
shouting voice. They want
"Just like a buzz the wire, young man,
broke in Brown negatively shaking his head Cant
hear word you say" =,
inspired 81 will write it down for you.
"'Twouldn't be any usc," responded the debtor,
almost sadly. 81 can't see a thing without my
specs."-Phiadelph Evening Telegraph.

An Abortive Thrust.

The objective behind the new German attack
in the Rheims sector is obscure 1t is not
a feint, for too much energy and blood already
have been expended upon it to permit its purpose
to be mere bluff" Evidently the German high
command hopes to carry it through to a definite
conclusion.
But the offensive already is slowing up Foch
had anticipated it and formulated plan of action
which. far, has been carried through to the let
ter. There doggcd defense Of the Chemin-
des-Dames The Germans met no desperate
sistance at any point. The ease with which their
wedge penetrated the French line seems to have
disconnected and even to have alarmed them Not
without reason, doubtless for the advance OF the
infantry has been altogether too fast for the de-
velopment of proper lines of communication and
transport system behind it. This is particularly
true because OF the narrowness of the wedge, the
French maintaining the anks sturdily and menac-
ing the advance just as the British did through the
stubborn defense OF Arras two months ago
Gen. Maurice and other authorities agree that
Ludendorff has sought to draw off Fochs reserves
by his stroke Scissors, and disrupt the ar
rsngements made for the defense OF Amiens. The
subtle generalissimo evidently had discounted such
strategy and contemptuously rejected the bait The
German advance uncontested in any serious
style, although the enemy made to pay the
full price in blood for every kilometer that was
yielded him; there is lateral network of trenches
on Chemin-des-Dames which permits deadly ma
chine gun work for such of infantry as the
Germans are using in their spectacular but
rather empty gains OF terrain. But Foch declined

positions which not vital to the defense OF the
line.
There has been rupture OF the French line
No vital position has been menaced no lines of
communication have been threatened Gen Maurice
says that "the loss of these heights (Craonne and
the ridge OF min-des-Dames)- is locally incon-
venient, but should have wider effect. An ad-
vance across them leads through highly defensble
country and gives the enemy nothing but hard-won
ground for his pains"

steady nerve, delicate touch and

Boche Comes Nearer.
That day the Boche was reported a
bit nearer and the drum fire of the
allied batteries rolled through the
hospital like peals of thunder. All
the patients who could be moved
without endangering their chances of
recovery were evacuated and then the
order came TO take away most of the
supplies. At o'clock the Red Cross
drivers were rounded out and began
loading their trucks with blankets

Side by Side Over There.

Americansi
And their fathers, in Blue and Gray are glad
this day that their Americans OF united
America, America fighting for all that is best in
civilization, freedom. justice, humanity. So it is
that the few remaining veterans OF the civil war,
those who wore the Blue and those who wore the
Gray, are united in hope cooperating in effort,
and one in loyal endeavor to help these boys in
khaki bring freedom, for all, forever.
AS never before this country is united standing
as one man, strong and determined, in the path
way OF the ruthless enemy of democracy. While
all OF hold dear in our hearts the memories OF
those who Offered their lives in wars OF other
years, it is only natural and human that while
are laying upon the graves OF yesteryears the
blossoms of love and honor, thoughts OF those
who have gone-and training to go-over
there are throbbing uppermost in our hearts.
Upon their graves, the newly-made graves over
there, not 'strew flowers with our own
hands, but we can dc what they, if they
living, would earnestly desire. We can re-
new our pledge We made to our boys in khaki:
we will stand back of you all the time you
are over there. We will keep you always sup
piled with everything you will need to fight with
food, clothing, ammunition, guns, equipment, and
we will take care of you when you are i'll and
wounded"
To make good this pledge, we must:
Give OF dollars for relief work, in
cluding the Red Cross. V NJ. c. A., X. OF C., and
other organizations OF similar purpose.

And do any and everything which may bring
about final victory the enemy in the shortest
possible time
By doing all OF these things VIC not only win
but we will have more living heroes of this world
war to honor on memorial days after the war-and
fewer graves.
Remember this when you drop flower
grave today:
The greater your effort over here the shorter
will be the time boys in khaki there
will have to highland the smaller will be the
number OF those who make the supreme sacrifice.
This world war must be by those who
are allied upon the side OF liberty. The only
question is concerning the price must pay
the price in lives! Not lives but the lives OF
our sons We who stay at home may make that
price immeasurably greater by failing to "do
best!"
That is thought may we'll carry deep in
our hearts this day, tomorrow the next day, and
every day until we have achieved peace with
honor, the only brand OF peace which boys in
khaki will accept.
