INCREASED FARES WILL
MEAN 100000 GAIN
BY L A. FLEMING.

The increase of five-sixths Of a cent
in passenger fares on the street rail-
ways of the District through the
change from tickets at the reduced
rate to a straight five-cent fare will
mean about 20 per cent increased re-
ceipts to the Capital Traction Com
pany and the Washington Railway
and Electric Company.
Joint receipts from passenger traffic
in the District, from the latest avail
able data, showed S4,128,725.25 total
receipts. The 1918 receipts from pas
senger traffic will be much heavier.
While actual figures as to cash
fares paid are not available, the esti-
mate of w. F. Ham. president of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, is placed at Is per cent Of
the total.
An extra million a year will go far
to meeting the added cost of labor and
materials. while the increased traffic
will add greatly to the gross and net
earnings.
Changes made by order of the Pub
lie. Utilities Commission have resulted
in speeding up service materially, and
the handling of the crowds has been
simplified by the different hours of Ia
Dor in the great departments of gov
eminent activity.

CAFETER|AS WILL

To meet the growing demands made
upon the cafeterias of the Y. w. c. A.

tetian Of the National War Work

standardize the three large cafeterias
now being conducted by the local Y.

and at the same time to give TO the
war workers OF Washington the most
nourishing foods obtainable, tastily
prepared at the least possible expense.
Miss Hopkins opened the first cafe
terra in Washington for the Y. w. c.
a. eleven years ago at 626 z street
northwest, and her work in establish
ing cafeterias in connection with
dozens OF hostess houses in the can

EXPRESSIONS IN
NOTE SIGNIFICANT

NEW YORK. y. Y, Oct. 13.-The
German answer to President Wilson
is the first diplomatic message OF its
kind in the history of the empire tot
speak OF the German government"
II IS the first note Of its kind to omit
TIE word Imperial
This led 10 the conclusion in some
quarters here that the persistent ru-
ncrs and reports OF the last few
DAYS concerning a "dynastic convul-
s;on" IN Berlin-some going so far as
o So that the Kaiser has abdicated
--msy indeed prove to be substan-
lated by fact.
Significant in this connection is
he fact that under the constitution
Of the German Empire, the Kaiser
has the exclusive right OF making
peace. independent of the sanction of
The Eundesra.h and Reichstag.
The German answer takes pains TO
state that "the present German gov
eminent" has undertaken the re-
sponsibility for this step toward
peace" which may be construed to
mean that II has taken the action re-
zardless Of the Kalsers will or wish.
Cab,ed reports yesterday were to the
effect that the Kaiser opposed the
peace action and that it was taken in
direct opposition 10 his views.
IN quarters where great sig
nificance is attached to the omission
of all references to His Majesty
and of the word "imperial" it was
suggested that II the revolutionary
change so persistently rumored has
actually taken place, the Berlin gov
ernment would conceal it from the
German people and armies until the
moment an armistice was signed, in
order TO avert utter collapse Of the

For hard work, constant vigilance

British destroyers try to beat it and
yours again try 10 top the record.
What I have said Of the destroy

Turkey Is practically out now. for
