EXPECTED SOON
Utilities Commission Will
Then Consider W. R. E.'s
Rate Raise Application.

Work on the valuations of the Capt.
tai Traction and Washington Rail-
way and Electric companies is in it's
final week, the utilities commission
announced today. There is a prospect
of the commissions ratings for the
traction concerns being announced
Friday or Saturday.
Following completion of the va1u-
ations the commission is expected i'm
mediately to consider the application
of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company for authority to
charge an increased rate of fare,
Gas Inquiry May Delay.
This may be delayed to some ex-
tent, however, by an inquiry to de-
termine whether the present gas rate
which expires Sepembter 20, shall be
continued. The company has not yet
asked to have the rate continue. but
Is expected to do so, inasmuch as
there is said to have been no reduc-
ton in the cost of manufacturing
gas.
Chairman Kutz of the commission
stated that it would not require much
time to examine any figures the COM
pany might submit in support of a
claim for continuing the existing
rate. and that such an investigation
would not materially hold up consid-

Eddy Favors Mileage Plan.
H. c. Eddy, formerly engineer of the
commission and now traffic engineer
of the public utilities commission of
New Jersey, visited the District build
ing today. He said the Public Service
railways of New Jersey will operate
on a zone system, beginning Septem-
ber IA. The zone system operated on
a mileage basis is the only solution
for traction ills, in Mr.. Eddy's opin-
ion.

Plan Has Obstacles.

The other plan. the Danube confed-
GRAFTON, has enormous obstacles before
it, but is dictated by economic neces-
stiles of an obvious sort At present
the Czechs, Croats and Slovenes hate
anything German worse than the devil
himself. They remember too well the
so-called oppression of Vienna, name
ly, the centuries of Hapsburg rule
This hatred must WOOL down as the
first requisite. On the other hand each
and every one is badly of in economic
affairs.
The Jugo-Slavs need manufacturers
from Bohemia, the Austrians food
from anywhere and the Czechs need
munitions from Vienna's arsenals. In
order to lead an orderly life they must
learn to exchange commodities and
this can best be done through some
kind of an economic union. The idea
is displeasing in Czechoslovakia, Ger
man-Austria and Hungary. ! tbs spe-
cically limited at in the peace terms.
1t is quite problematical whether a
Danube confederation will in truth be
formed Probably it will not come be-
fore several years of chaos and not
before proof is given by sa experience
that reproduction of the Balkan
jealousies in central Europe should be
avoided at II costs.

AUSTRIA IMPATIENT
AT DELAY IN PEACE
Tension Great Over Length
of Time Consumed in
Negotiations.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News, Copyright. 1919.
PARIS, August 23.-I have just re-
turned from jprotracted stay in
Austria The tension there is great
over the signature of the treaty. for
upon it's terms rests the whole future
of the country. Business and finance
will not be re-esta blished until the
amount of reparation is definitely
known and commerce cannot revive
until it is ascertained how the i'm
general over the length of time con-
sumed in the negotiations. Likewise
I was assured by former lieutenant
in the Austro- Hungarian army that
the people could not understand why
they alone of all the heirs of the old
emonarchy should still be treated as
enemies of the allied, cause. Did not
the Croats, Slovenes and Austrian
Poles remain faithful to the central
powers up to the moment of the ar
mistice and then turn to the other
side, as it was obviously to their in
terests to do so? Yet they are now
treated like allies. These distinctions
in treatment produce some anomalous
situations.
Thoroughly Austrian.
This officer is a resident of Vienna
and is thoroughly Austrian in feeling,
and yet by his property holdings in
Bohemia is a Czechosiovak citizen. He
is an avowed enemy of the Serbs and
Italians, yet by simply crossing the
frontier he becomes their ally His
case is duplicated by many others in
Vienna. The Austrians claim that
with the territorial and financial
terms given in the first draft of the
treaty the country cannot stand alone.
All the most fertile lands have been
ceded to the Czechs or Jugoslavs.
Either the terms must be revised or
German Austxia must seek help from
the outside. The alternatives in this
direction simmer down to two. The
country can seeks annexation to Ger
many in a greater German republic
or Incorporation in a new Danube
confederacy. However. the former Of
these has already been tried and. ac-
cording to Austrian opinion, has been
shattered against the opposition of
England and Frauce. Moreover, 1t is
prohibited in the treaty of Versailles.
The man most responsible for the an
nexation idea. Otto Bauer, the strong
man of the government. was recently
forced to resign from the foreign
ministry.

THE ERA MAGAZINE FOR JUNE
is WORTH READING

New Era Magazine, official medium
of the Presbyterian Church in the
U. S. A., in its June issue will record
the remarkable showing made by the
Negro Presbyteries of the South in
the Church's New Era Victory Fund
Campaign.
''At the time we entered the Euro
pean war;, says New Era Magazine
''the Colored people of the South were
challenged by the Government as ne
yer before. They accepted the chal-
lenge and at the close of the war the
colored troops returned from Europe
with a fighting record and morale
equaled by few and surpassed by no
regiments of the whole American
Army.
'In the beginning of the Presby-
terrain New Era Movement the Color
ed people were again challenged, this
time by the Presbyterian Church, and
the way in which they have met that
challenge is not surpassed by the val
or and morale Of their men on the
battlefield.
'In the Presbyterian Victory Fund
Campaign the Negro Presbyteries
have increased their subscriptions for
benevolences from $4,000 last year
to nearly $4,000 this year. One
Negro pledged the product of one
acre of cotton, guaranteeing it to
yield at least $125. In addition he
pledged $50 for his wife and children.
His church jumped its benevolences
from $50 to $500.
Another church standing alone in
the midst of a plantation drew lis
rigs over bottomless roads in the
height of the muddy season on Vic
tory Fund Sunday and jumped il
benevolenees from $50 to 500. The
ambition of the Southern Negroes
is to express their appreciation fol
their development and education by
the Presbyterian Church"
