Prince Lvoff was the first pre-

strong anti-German policy at
Petrograd during his tenure OF
office.
The Germans would strongly
oppose a Lvoff government IN
Siberia. So, however, would the

Lvoff is liberal Of the old
regime, but Russia is now expert

principles than are approved oy

HALT SPENDING
ON L.UXURLES

Winston-Salem, March IL
Judge Gilbert T. Stephenson,
Director Of Service for the State
War Saving Conlittee, is calling
a halt on people s spending money
for luxuries and playthings while
the country is waiting for ships
to be built to take the soldiers to
the battlefield, for airships to take
them into the heart Of Germany
across No-Man's Land and for
munitions which will be the only
thing that will make their going
to France and all that they en-
counter worth while.
Everybody belongs to the
army one way or the other,' says
Mr.. Stephenson" some fight a
broad, others work at home The
army in Europe is only the cut
ting-edge Of the battle-axe; the
real force Of the blow struck by
the army is welded by the peop-
le a home. Idleness at this
time on the part Of any ablebodi-
ed man or woman, rich or poor,
black or white is not only unpa-
triotic but is akin to desertion
from the army and should be
treated as such. It is not enough
laws and put to work loafers who
have no Visible means Of support
but public opinion should force all
idlers and players though they
have a Visible means Of support
to produce something for their
country.

There is nothing better for the
people Of a community than
sociability Of the right kind, and
when this is coupled with patri-
otic effort the occasion should be
doubly welcomed.

some time during the day or even
ing.
Good things to eat are being

Final arrangements for beginning

Accepts Jersey Fare
Raise for Trolleys
But Public Service Head De-
clares One-Cent Transfer In
crease Forbids improvements

NEWARK, N. j., July 1S.-Thomas
N. McCarter, president of the Public
Service Corporation of New Jersey, is
sued to-day a statement in which he
accepted the ruling of the New Jersey
BOARD of Public Utility Commissioners
in the trolley fare increase case, but
declared that the company will be
forced to cut out line betterments
The utility commissioners allowed the
company to charge one cent extra for
passengers asking for transfers. Tie
company sought to increase the fare
from TO cents, charge 2 cents extra
for a transfer and an additional cent
for a second transfer. Mr.. McCarter's
statement follows:
"The award is Inadequate and insult
fcient to maintain the proper operat-
ing efficiency and the credit of the
railway operating company. On its
face it reduces tie estimated operating
expenses of the company by $742,000
and provides for no return upon the
invested capital of the railroad COM
AS a result the physical condition of
the property must suffer and the
enormous sum actually invested in the
railway property in the last fifteen
years, since its acquisition by the Pub
lie Service Corporation, will receive no
return. This is step backward, not
forward.
"Fhe railway company constantly
needs new capital for additional track
age, cars and all the other parapher-
MALTA connected with the operation Of
a large railway system. The only way
the railway company can raise new
capital is from the sale of it's stock
It's bond issues are exhausted The
stock of the railway company is owned
by the Public Service Corporation of
New Jersey. Naturally, neither this
corporation, nor any one else will pur-
chase more of the stock under these
conditions. Hence. until further reve-
nues are provided, all improvements
or extensions to the property of the
railway company, Of any character, ex-
cept certain specific extensions to ship
yards for the cost of which the COM
pany is borrowing money from the
Federal government, must cease.
81 do not believe this is for the
benefit of the people Of the State of
New Jersey. The railway company,
however, is alive to its patriotic re-
sponsibility. 1t will endeavor to meet
its war and other responsibilities as
best it may with the means at it's com
mand. 1t is fortunate for the Public
Service Corporation that it's main
sources of revenue come from other
channels"
