NECESSITY Of ALLIES
/, TAKING BERLIN URGENT
Germany Far From Fulfilling Con-
ditions of Armistice-British
Ultimatum Reported.
by PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.
Cablcgram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1919.

PARIS, France. January 6.-The
question whether the allies will be
obliged to occupy Berlin is becoming
continually more urgent. 1t is point
ed out that Germany is far from hav-
ing fulfilled the material conditions
of the armistice, particularly as re-
CARDS the turning over of railway
material. People are continually
asking whether the Berlin govern
ment really represents anything and
how peace can be made with a nation
which lacks n state of government
At the same time the German news
paper Deutsche TagesZeitung makes
the curiously sensational statement
that the British military authorities
in the Baltic provinces of Russia have
delivered the following ultimatum to

THE GOVERNMENTS GAS RATE
Private Consumers Forced to Paw
Higher Rate Than Public.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In line with your Illuminating artf-
cles in The Star on the unfairness of
the attempt to increase the tax bur-
den carried by the District of Column
bia is the attitude of the government
toward the increase in the price of
gas. In Saturdays Star is recorded
the decision of the Treasury con-
troller that in virtue of the law of
September /. 1916. no higher rate than
20 cents for gas may be charged
either the government or the District
1t is pointed out that while the maxi
mum rate for private consumers is
fixed by that same law at rs cents.
there is proviso to the effect that
| the law shall not be construed as
limiting or taking away any of the
powers now vested by law in the
Public Utilities Commission of the
District of Columbia" Then follows,
by way of comment, the statement,
that the authorization of the Public
Utilities Commission under date of
March Is, 1918, to the Washington Gas
Light Company TO charge a rate not
to exceed 80 cents is legal"
Whether this action on the part of
not the right way of solving the diff
Guilty. The only ground justifying a
higher price for gas is that the cost
of production has mounted of late to
such degree as no longer to make
lit profitable to sell it at the 75-cent
rate. If this be true, then it is plain
that in fairness to both the gas COM
pany and to the private consumer the
law of September. 1916. should be
amended. 1t is absolutely unjust for
( 4 II
fair price for the gas it consumes. 1t
is still more fragrant injustice to
allow the gas company to mulct the
private consumers by fixing for them
price that will make Up the deficit
that should be met by the govern
ment. In the last analysis it amounts
| to a special tax laid on special class,
who can i'll afford to pay it. namely,
| the individual gas consumers of the
! District. 1t is the sin of the Public
| Utilities Commission to have author
| lied this notable increase in the rate
| from rs to 30 cents. instead of carry
| ing the question to Congress, where
| the proper remedy for the difficulty
was to be sought. The obligation now
| laid on our citizens to pay 80 cents
| for gas, simply because the gas COM
pany is forced to sell at a loss to the
government on the 70-cent rate, is so
manifestly unjust that have no
doubt if the matter were taken into
| the courts the authorization of the
| commission would be pronounced null
and void. and restitution would have
| to be made for excess charges extort-
| ed from the individual consumers.
! This is good example OF the dis
| advantage to which the people Of the
District are subjected for lack of rep
/ resentatives elected by them to de-
| fend their rights and to further their
| interests. The proper remedy for thn
| evils to which they are now exposed
will be found only when the right of
| suffrage is accorded to the District,
| and when in consequence representa-
| tives elected by. and responsible to.
| the citizens of the District will have
| their welfare truly at heart

ENVOY FLIES PETROGRAD.

LEITH, Scotland. January 6.-After
escaping from Petrograd and making
their way to Archangel on foot, Jo-
seph j. Z. E. Noulens. French ambas-
sador to Russia. his staff and a NUM-
Der of French officers arrived here
today.
The amba Ssador said that no meas
ures would suffice to safeguard allied
economic and political interests in
Russia while the bolshevili were in
power. Their strength, however. was
more apparent than real, and would
vanish before energetic action on the
part of the allies. he asserted.

why the league did not give them an

used as a basis for the 'acid-tesC

OF precipitating another European war
but the American delegates to the
peace conference express doubt of the
willingness of the United States to &C

conditions which the powers have out
lined.
With the Sultan removed from Con-
stantinople, the American delegates
expressed the belief that it might be
possible for the American public to
become reconciled to the mandate.
However, the Indian delegation which
