 An interesting letter was received by P. J. Estrada from his brother Ramon. who is now on the firing line in France. This letter was written June 29 and Ramon had been 20 days in the trenches at that time. He said in part: T have seen a lot of things since comming here and have had lots of experiences. for a while all I could do was to watch the air fight, that is a great sight to see German airplane and an Amer | ican machine in battle. I just wish you could see it. At first I was rather frightened. but after the first one that saw it was all off, I just went on with my work. At night we could hardly sleep for the noise, but after a few days we did not feel at home un- less we could hear the canons roar it seems just like music to me now.
 For a long time we were on the move all the time. no, only working but dodging the bullets. I will not tell you much more about it for 1t might not pass the censor but if I ever get back will have many things to tel you.'

STRAIGHT FARE NUB
lin wage CONTROVERSY
Technical Point Raised on Question
that Is Apparent.

Can the Utilities Commission es-
tablish a rate OF fare on street cars
In the District when a special act
of Congress has already provided
for fares in the charters of the COM
panies?
Here Is the question which is
causing officials at the District
Building to pore over District laws
and precedents for a ruling.
In the charters of the companies
Congress establishes the rate OF
fares to be charged. Following
several fruitless wage conferences
between employees and ofacIals of
the Capital Traction Company, the
company has practically promised a
substantial increase to the men II
more revenue Is obtained through a
straight nickle fare.
This point will be brought forth
in the first hearings of the District
Commissioners. sitting as an arbi-
tration board between company and
men on March IS. 1t is practically
assured the company will ask for
straight nickel fares. With the
high cost of carrying on business at
the present time, II is thought that
the request may be looked upon ia
vorably.
the atmosphere OF the District
Building is: Can the Utilities Com
mission establish street car fares
and superact over a Congressional
law?

ALLIES HAVE
LARGE SHARE
OF OUR WHEAT
United States Has Onl,
One-third of Reserve
T., Held Year Ago.

That the allies in Europe have been
the recipients of a good share of
American wheat raised last year is in
dicated by a statement just issued by
the Department Of Agriculture, show
ing the avilable stock Of wheat and
hour remaining on hand from the 1917
While the total volume of this ce-
real harvested in 1917 was in excess
by 10000. 1000 bushels that Of the pre-
vious year, totaling 650,000,000 bushels,
the available supply on hand January
., 1918. according to the figures sub
mitited. was only from 30 to 36 per
cent that available the same day of
the previous year. The estimates
from different sources varied slightly.
On December 81 last year the Agri-
cultural Department finds the stock
Of wheat on hand was about half
that Of the latter part Of 1916. Thus II
may be seen that the ratio of per cent
Is rapidly on the decline.
On August 81, I917, the report says,
the stocks of flour on hand were about
Is per cent that of the corresponding
day Of the previous year, and on De-
cember 81 that percentage had de-
creased to 70. Therefore, 1t is plainly
evident that shipments OF wheat TO the
allies has been greatly in excess OF
those Of flour.

PRICES FIXED FOR
PASSOVER BREAD
Food Board Acts Upon Efforts to
Gouge Jewish People.

By announcing the results of the
investigation into matzoth prices
just completed by the Federal Food
Board OF New York, the Food Ad-
ministration yesterday took steps
to prevent the gouging OF the Jew
ish public by retailers and manu-
facturers of that bread.
During the Passover festival,
which is ushered in on the evening
OF March 81. and lasts until the
evening OF April I, orthodox Jews
are permitted to eat no bread what
ever except matzoth. an unleaven-
ed bread made of water and wheat
flour.
makers and sellers OF matzoth were
planning to take advantage of the
ritual requirements by demanding
unheard of prices for the prescribed
bread, the Food Administration re-
quested the Federal Food Board OF
New York to investigate costs OF
manufacture.
As a result OF its investigation.
the Federal Food Board recommend
ed that the maximum retail price
of matzoth should not be greater
than Is to II cents per pound, the
range Of price depending on guam
tity purchased and whether the
bread is baked in square or circular
form. the latter costing slightly
more to handle.
The retail price OF matzoth recon-
mended by the Federal Food Board
namely not to exceed Is to IA
cents per pounds a slight ad-
vance over last years price. but Is
much lower than the prices which
are being asked.

ComDrOmlse Follows Debate.
The compromise rate making section
causes considerable speculation. II
provides that President Wilson may
initiate rates, but that the Interstate
Commerce Commission may overrule
him after q hearing. However. the
Presidents rates stand while the
hearing Is being conducted. and the
commission, in arriving at its final de-
cIsion, must take into consideration
the fact the roads are under unified
control and the Presidents RESPONSE
bIlity to make them . financial sue
cess.
This compromise. written by Senator
Robinson, OF Argansis, followed an
animated argument between the SEN
ate members Of the conference. who
held out for the Interstate Commerce
Commissions final power, and the
House, which was equally insistent for
the Presidents authority.
The roads will be held twenty-one
months after the war-a compromise
between the Senate's eighteen months
and the Houses two years.
Skirnishes on the floors Of both
Houses will come before final pas
sage OF the bill. Middle West Re-
publicans will seek again to retain
rate-making power with the Presi-
dent.
Move for U. $. Ownership.
Representative Cary, of Wisconsin,
announced yesterday afternoon he
would move that the roads be held
ninety-nfne years after the close OF
the war. After seeking q record vote
on that, he will move for straight
government ownership.
Both this attempt, however. and the
efforts at amendment which Repub-
licans will make, are more to make
permanent records of Congressional
sentiment than in the hope Of sue
cess.
By the rules of the houses. the con-
ference report must lie on the table
for one day after being reported.
Unanimous consent will be asked for
the waIving Of this rule. If this is de-
nied-as expected-passage of the bill
