U. S. MUST COME TO FRENCH AID IN
CASE OF FRESH GERMAN AGGRESSION

Attempts to follow his old pathways of
invasion.
To the French mind, and ! think to
most fair minds, such a course on the
part of America will seem like a de-
liberate betrayal. France will feel
that she has been tricked into sur
rendering her lines of defense, now
occupied by French armies and still
conceivably to be held. In such a sit
uation it can hardly be expected that
France will evacuate the Rhine from
tier and thus invite German aggres-
sion and If she does not, the treaty Of
Versailles goes into the discard and
the League of Nations becomes a
memory before it is even an expert
ment.
The discussion as to whether the
president Of the United States had the
authority to pledge the support of his
country or not is, so far as the French
are concerned, purely academic. He
did pledge 1t, he did persuade the
French to consent to certain things,
dangerous to them, things that no
French minister could have consented
to under any other circumstances, by
promising American aid. In fact. he
told the French that if they abandon
ed the Rhine barrier in the interests
of general peace and his League of
Nations project, they could count on
American armies to counterbalance
the loss, incident to their sacrifice
Now the whole treaty of peace has
been constructed upon this basic fact
SO far as the French are concerned
To destroy this foundation is to re
move the sole argument for French
retirement from the Rhine. 1t also
advertises to the Germans that they
are free to attack France again, il
they choose, without fear of American
intervention If we refuse to honor
the signature of the president of the
United States, If we refuse to pay
where he has committed our credit, il
seems to me the consequences will be
disastrous in the extreme.

.EX-CROWN PRINCE
STILL |NTERNED
Former Hun Heir Whose
Escape Was Reported Still
in Holland.

THE HAGUE, June 27.--Frederick
William Hohenzollern the former Ger
man crown prince, whose escape from
Holland to Germany had been reported,
was still at his residence on the island
Of Wieringen, in the Zuyder Zee, this
morning, II was officially announced
here this afternoon.
Thursdays report Of the escape of the
former crown prince from his intern
ment in Holland. II appears from the
available advices, came from British Of
ficial sources In Paris. The accuracy Of
the news apparently was accepted with
out question in peace conference cir
cles.
As the hours passed without details
Of the reported happening, doubts be-
gan to arise whether the British advices
were correct. 1t was even suggested
by one Of the Paris newspapers, that
the ex-crown prince had been out on
lark within Dutch territorial limits and
that this had given rise. to reports that
he had fled into Germany.
Until fuller cable advices are received
however, the circumstances surrounding
the origin Of the report can only be a
matter of speculation.

TAX RATE REPORT
TO Be PRESENTED
BY NEXT TUESDAY

Meeting Of City Commits
sion-Committee Confident
Rate Should Be Lowered.

The report of the special tax rate
committee, representing the CONNER
cial and civic organizations of Mem
phis, will be made to the city commits
sioners in open meeting next Thurs
day afternoon.
That has been decided by the sub J.
committee charged with making the in
vestigation into the city's financial af-
fairs, The committee has completed
its work and the report is now~ being
made up. No publication or statement
as to the committees conclusions will
be made until the report shall have
been given to the city commission
1t is known in a general way that
the committee will insist that the tax
rate proposed In the ordinance, a flat
increase Of 40 cents over last year s
rate, bringing the proposed rate this
year to $3.50, can and should be
amended. Whether the committee will
show by the facts It has, secured, that
the rate can be kept at last year g
rate-H.So--or at a higher figure can
not now be stated.
Members of the committee are con-
vinced that certainly not more than
the mandatory increase caused by the
legislative act increasing the rate for
schools from 80 to so cents, and the
one cent addition for the library tax.
Is an absolutely necessity.

GAS Co. SEEKING
At LEAST TEN
PER CENT RAISE
And When President Flock
Comes Saturday He May
Raise Request to Still
Greater Burden.

The Memphis Gas & Electric Co, Ia
preparing a petition to the State Pub
lie Utilities commission asking perinis1
sion to increase gas rates in Memphis.
1t is expected the petition will be filed
within the next few days, possibly Mon
day, and will ask for an increase Of not
less than 10 per cent.
The present rate for household con-
sumers Is 81 per thousand for the first
1000 feet and with reductions for large
consumption The increase II no more
than 10 per cent would raise this rate
to $110 net instead of gross,
]. F. Rainier, secretary of the com
pany, stated Friday morning that II had
not yet determined what the exact per-
centage of increase asked would be.
1T Is absolutely necessary, however,
he said, that we have more money for
our gas"
Another official of the company
stated In reply to question that he did
not know whether the company would
also apply for increase in electric light
ing rates. Both have been figured on,
he stated. but the request for increase
in sas rates will be made first 1t l.
certain. This is the greatest need,
he said.
w. M. Flock, of New York, president
OF the company, Is expected to arrive
in Memphis Saturday, and it Is sup.
posed his visit has particularly to dc
with the petition for increased gas
rates.
1t is understood that the company Is
in quandary about the height to which
1t can elevate the rates without killing
the goose that lays so many golden eggs
for 1t. OF course there Is the lamp thai
may be brought out Of the closet By
those who use gas for light, but the
greater danger is to the consumption o.
fuel gas. This the company has de.
veloped to high degree and to degree
that Is efficient since 1t went back tC
the old process of manufacture. But II
has real competitor there in the Goa
oil stoves, which have been perfected
in the last few years, Consumers coult
easily and at no tremendous cost &c
from gas ranges to- oil ranges.
There Is still another factor in the
possibility Of using crude or residuun
oil in the place of coal In the ordinary
cook stove supplied with burner fol
that fuel.
OF course the company will ask fol

that the city will resist any increase II

He Is expected to withdraw his resig-
nation, which was sent by mail a few
days ago and to take part In the regu-
lar meeting of the city commission next
Although 1t is known that II still Is
his intention to resign as soon as mat
ters In his department will permit
Mayor Montevcrde, as well as the two
commissioners who have absented
themselves from the commission meet
ings since last Tuesday, are confident
that he will defer again rendering his
resignation for at least another month
and that he may possibly agree to re-
main In the commission until the ex-
piration of his term next January, pro-
vided he is not transferred from the
finance department, and Is not asked
TO take any action as city commits
sioner simply for political reasons.
1t was, so Mr.. Mason himself stated,
because he believed politics, rather than
business reasons, was behind the pro-
posed transfer Of Mr. Miller from the
police department and the placing of
that department under Mr. Quinn's con-
troll, that he refused to vote for the
change last Friday, a week ago He
would not have left the city that day,
but for the. fact that he had made a
number Of important business engage
ments in New York which he could not
cancel.
Leo Goodman and c. W. Miller, com
mssioners, probably will not attend the
adjourned meeting sof The commission
set for Friday afternoon,
They will wait Mr. Masonis return

commission is present Tuesday the
question of the, proposed transfer can
be brought up and decided one way or
the other. = 1t will take Mr.. Mason's
