A step which is construed as having

to have this information from very
reliable source says that '.its cores

In selecting the Jewish soldiers for
this duty, the British War Office is max
ing it a point to choose those who gen.

soldiers who volunteered for service,
the British War Office has now at its
disposal about twenty thousand Jewish

from Great Britain but also from Ame-

The Tramway management is being criticised by
a great number of people who are fair-minded and
perfectly sincere in what they say.
Many of them feel that six cents fare should be
sufficient and that the additional cent is unreason-
able.
Others feel that possibly seven cents fare is ius
tifed but certainly it should Immediately result in
much better service.
the Tramway management is simply trying to
"gouge the public" without conscience excuse.
Now the Tramway management is fully con-
sciOus of these criticisms and fully aware of their
seriousness. The men who are directing the COM
pany's operation feel them just as keenly as any
other business men would.
But we are listening for something more.

defects without suggesting better way accom-

The Tramway company has reserve fund and

crease in wages, effective August "a, 1918, that
will be far greater than the increase in revenue

wages tnat IL cannot possibly pay out OF the rev.

which is fares.
The public wants and not unnaturally expects an
improvement of service now that 7c fares are be-
ing collected. But these 7c fares, with 1c addi-
tiona. for transfer, still fail to create revenue
equal to the increase in wages ordered by the Gov
ernment.
We are listening for the words of the man who
can tell how to comply with this order and at the
same time buy new cars, new motors, new rails,
and put additional crews.
Some will question the accuracy of our state

these statements. We have printed these figures
time and again: we have invited investigation

And now listening for the words of the
man who can tell us what more can do toward
informing the public of the facts.
Some will suggest, perhaps, as the solution of
the entire problem, that the Tramway company
ignore the u. S. Governments edict and refuse to
pay its men the increased wages. But are those
who so readily advise this course equally ready to
