We got another great wad of COM
'ort when we, for the first time laid
eyes on Douglas Glass who rides up
and down on the street car and writes
about what he heard and saw for
the Atlanta Georgian. We had fire.
quently heard it said that Harve
Craig and Larry CAN'T were two of
the ugliest men in the state. Some
times John Holder, too, has been
placed in that class. At times, when
we look into the looking glass and
take a peep at ourselves, see the
wrinkles and burrows produced by
old age, we imagine that we too, are
in class with Craig, CAN'T, ct al.
But now comes Douglass Glass con-
tending for the championship, and
insofar as our opinion and vote goes
he shall have it.. Since seeing him
all the other men whom we know
and regard as homely, look like pref
ty respectable fellows. But every
cloud has silver lining. Pretty is as
pretty does. His wit, his sunny ma
ture, his beautiful pen pictures rem
der his as lovely as a girl of sixteen
with dimples on her cheeks. Never
theless, we are comforted.

TREATY PROVIDES
FINANCIAL BODY
Commission of Five to Gov
ern as to Indemnities and
Other Money Matters.
U. S. TO HAVE MEMBER
By PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.
Cablexram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1910.

PARIS, April IS.-I am able to an
nounce that one OF the features of the
peace treaty will be a provision for
the formation Of an allied financia!
com ission which n its operation and
effect viii. be one OF the most power
full bodies in the world. It will be
second in authority only to the gov
ernments concerned. It's purpose Will
be to regulate all questions relating
to the payment of indemnities by the
enemy and to financial differences be-
tween the allies, such as involve pri-
ority in the distribution CT indemni-
ties and the reduction of exchange
rates
The commission will consist Of five
m emberS, one representing each OF
the following countries: France.
Great Britain, Belgium, Italy and the
United States. In view of the excep-
tional powers of the commission and
| the Importance of the post it Is felt that
the American representative must be
a man of exceptional ability. Among
the names suggested in connection
with the position is that of William
G. McAdoo. former Secretary of the
Treasury.
The life of the commission will
probably be synchronous with the pay
ment of indemnities by the enemy ma
tions. which will probably extend over
a period of eighteen years. France
wanted this commission to be made
an integral part Of the league of ma
tions. but the American viewpoint,
which prevailed. was that including
such a commission would give the
league the appearance of a sort of
collecting agency in the settlement of
the war. 1t is President Wilson's idea
that the league should be a peace
ward-looking instead Of backward
looking institution.

the train. but allied officers soon

MAY TRY TO HALT
PHONE RATE RAISE
Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations May Seek Injunc-
ton Proceedings.
ATTITUDE IS STATED

Injunction proceedings to halt the
increased telephone rates ordered by
the Postmaster General may be insti-
,uted by the Federation of Citizens
Associations.
President W. B. Westlake said today
that the federation is contemplating
taking this step because the Public
Utilities Commission apparently does
not intend to act in the matter
Federation's Attitude.
He stated that the federation is in
commission, realizing it is situated
differently from utHities bodies in
other jurisdictions which have chal-
master General to increase telephone
rates.
Other commissions, he pointed out.
have no connection with the federal
is appointed by the President.
When control of the local talephone
system was taken over by the Posr-
master General. last July, the COM
mission promptly acquiesced in the
muuications and complaints which It
has since received In relation to tele-
phone matters have been referred
TO the Postmaster General
1t was considered probable that the
commission might be drawn into the
present rate controversy, to some ex-
tent at last II it should be pre-
sented with q petition from citizens
protesting against telephone charges be-
ing advanced.
Proposes Going to Court.
The federation proposes a more di-
rafh hrrf Gry -
court. In this event it would seek
to serve the people of the District
in the same way that state utilities
have tSs; sought to
by resorting to injunction to prevent
increases that have not been au-
thorized after hearings by the bodies
legally created to handle such mat
ters.
Mr.. Westlake suggested that the
discrimination in local telephone rates
in favor of the government and
against private subscribers might be
the basis of the federation's contem-
plated appeal to the courts.
He said that if the rates were ad.
justed squitably az between the gov
ernment and the Individual the fed
Grafton would not oppose the granting
of whatever relief might be necessary
to enable the telephone company to
function properly.
Alleged Discrimination, Target.
At the time the federal government
took charge Of the telephone system
here the utilities commission had the
company's appeal for financial relief
in the form of increased rates under
advisement. The cheaper rates paid
by the government as compared with
the charges assessed against private
consumers had been the target fol
attack by citizens at the hearings be.
fore the commission.
AS the new tariffs ordered by the
government do not in any way at
tempt to adjust this discrimination
the federation considers. that it has
a real grievance in the government
action. which possibly would sustain
Injunction proceedings.
The utilities commission, it was
stated today. has not received from
the Postmaster General or the tele.
phone company the new rate sched
ule ordered for the District. Nor have
protests against the proposed rate,
been received from any citizens OF
organizations. Apparently, the utili.
ties commission is generally consid.
cred to have no connection with the
| telephone situation.
