MAY BRING A SOLUTION
OF UTILITY PROBLEMS
BY I. A. FLEMING.

IT may be that the much -mooted
question of financing the public utili-
ties of the country through the period
of the war will be made easier
through action on the suggestion
made by the War Labor Board. that
the President assume jurisdiction over
the street railways of the country. not
to operate, as in the case OF the rali-
roads, but with view of giving the
roads the opportunity to pay their
own way as a result of increased
fares.
Washington street railways nave
ALWAYS held out bait for permission
to go on a straight five-cent fare, IN
dicating a Willingness to give uni
yersal transfers as a quid pro quod.
Government control of the nations s
railroads has been followed by both
n large raise in wages Of employees
and in freight and passenger charges,
and such increases as will materially
restrict travel that is not necessary
Washington is one of the few cities
where traction fares are on ticket
basis and below the five-cent fare.
Unless some action is taken 1t can
not be very long before the local
street railway corporations Will be
found knocking at the doors of the
utility commission or the war finance

Point Much Criticised.

One Of the most criticised points in
the reichstag speech of Foreign Sec
retary Won Kuehlmann was his ref
erence to negotiations. not military
decisions, ending the war, according
to dispatches reaching London.
liberal leader; Count Won Westarp.
conservative. and others protested
warmly against this statement. DR..
Stresemann said the speech had a
most depressing effect.
1t offered the German people. he
added, stones for bread. The deputy
declared that not negotiations but
hammer blows, brought peace in the
east, and said that the reason the
world refused to believe in German
victories is because German statesmen
are almost afraid to mention them.
In reply the foreign secretary ex-
planned that what he meant was that
military success must be followed by
diplomatic negotiations. Chancellor
Won Hertling also. emphasized the
same point. declaring that Won Kuehl-
mann's statement must not be regard
ed as weakening the German deter
mination for victory.
LONDON, June 26, via Ottawa.-A
new note in enemy oratory was struck
by DIR. Richard Won Kuehlmann, the
German foreign secretary, in address,
Ing the reichstag, according to the
comments on his address appearing in
London newspapers. The admission by
ment of the war by military decision
is impossible received much attention.
The Daily Telegraph emphasizes the
foreign minister's unusually brief ref
erence to Germany's military pros
poets. and says that the general tone
peace and the eastern front is un-
doubledly confession of weakness.
In conclusion. the Telegraph antici-
pates that the address may prove a
precursor to his dismissal.
The Times contends that the ad-
dress was a bold profession of the
policy OF militarism, without the
faintest trace of doubt or repentance.
The war, it says. will certainly last
as long as Germany supports such a
policy. 1t continues by saying that
the speech was even more remarkable
for its omissions than its contents,
the entry of America into the war
being ignored. The Times asks IL DR..
Won Kuehlmann will not find the al
lies terms specified with precision in
President Wilson's speeches, and says
that Germany dares not initiate the
frankness of the American President.
