GROUND FROZEN AGES AGO
Scientific explanations Of Fact Which
Has Puzzled Miners Who Have
Worked In Alaska.

Miners and geOlogiSts familiar with
conditions in Alaska are aware that
In many places the ground in that
country is permanently frozen, ex-
cept on the surface, to a depth OF
200 and even 500 feet. While this has
been popularity attributed to long
continued low temperature in winter,
the interesting theory has recently
been advanced by scientist that the
condition Is due to far colder
weather that obtained in some pre-
vious age, and that protective vegeta-
tion on the surface has kept the frost
in the ground permanently since then
1t has been found that when moss
has been cleared away for open-cut
mining or farming the upper level
of the grounds frost seemed gradually
to descend. II such is the case, 1t may
show that present temperatures are
not low enough to freeze the ground
to the great depths cited above.-Pop-

TARIFF RAISE
Washington Railway Claims
Ruin Faces Company Un-
less Increase Granted.

The Public Utilities Commission is
expected to take next week the petit
On Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company for an increase in
the tarin charged at present. The
company asks that the present plan
Of selling six tickets for a quarter
be succeeded by straight scent fare
to all people riding on the city and
suburban railway, the Georgetown
and Tenleytown Railway, and the
Washington Interurban Railway.
In its petition to the commission
which was made yesterday the COM
pany gives a great many reasons for
the increase asked. It sets forth that
the cost Of construction, maintenance
and operation of the lines have ad-
vanced to an enormous extent Whlle
the purchasing power of the present
fares as measured in all kinds OF
material and labor necessary for oper-
ton and maintenance have decreased. {
Expenses show Increase.
Another reason, set forth by the
company for the increase is that the
salaries of the men employed have
been steadily increased until at
present they are sS61,00O more than
were paid in 1914. This additional
expense, coupled with increased cost
of rails, brake shoes and other
equipment from So per cent to 257
per cent is enough in itself to war
rant the increase asked, it is
claimed.
1t is pointed out that with the in
crease the tariffs charged will be
lass than those in 245 cities and
towns. The transfer system will
remain as at present. The company
points out that the increase would
place no appreciabIe burden on the
public while at the same time it is
necessary in order that the com
panies may maintain unimpaired
credit, pay their employees fair
wages, under unprecedented condi-
tions. and provide the improved
service and facilities the present
conditions demand all at less cost
than that borne by any other COM
munity in the United States under
like conditions.
Disaster OyertakIng Company.
The company points out that unless
something is done Immediately to re-
Heve the situation, disaster will over
take the companies. !
While the operating revenues OF
the companies are the greatest III
their history, due to the greatly in |
creased population of the District, |
operating expenses and taxes have
more than absorbed all of the gain |
in operating revenues. Manifestly /,

PHILADELPHIA. Oct 24.-Delegates
to the conference Of the European
unlon of Small Nations were eau
toned to-day by Thomas G. Masarvk
president of the newly organized Cze-
cho- Siovak republic, that emphasis
should not be placed on military
boundaries" BY the oppressed peop.es
seeking independent nationalsm. be-
cause the future Europe is to be a
Europe OF permanent peace"
The speaker said that such bound
aries as were claimed in the past bv
dynasties and military powers will not
need TO be claimed by the nations that
may achieve independence as a result
OF the overthrow of the Teutonic en-
pres. All the practical suggestions
offered at the present conference, he
SAID, would be laid before the peace
congress.
Discussion as 10 whether a monarchy
or republic is the better form of gov
ernment occupied one of the sessions
to-day. Chrlstos Vassilakaki, the
Greek delegate, spoke in behalf of a
constitutional monarchy such as ex.
lists IN England and Italy. There are
democratic monarchies, as there are
autocratlc republics" he declared
Greece has deposed two kings be-
cause they had autocratic tendencies
You need have no fear that Greece will
choose an autocracy"
