the council shall advise the
means by which the obligation
shall be fulfilled.

Do you want this country to
preserve the territorial and polit-
ical integrity" of all the countries
as they now stand, with their in
teresting stealing OF land follow
ing the war? Do you want this
nation to guarantee, with its men
and money, that the swollen, top
heavy British empire shall always
remain just as it is now, free from
aggression from without, free to
govern and domineer within? II
so, vote for Mr.. Cox and his League
of Nations.
Do you think that this country
should keep in its own hands the
right to declare peace or war and
reserve to itself the right to say
when American soldiers shall be
sent to the European trenches?
IL so vote against Mr.. Cox and his
League of War.
The British empire is big
enough to defend itself if right, and
it ought to crumble il wrong. Why
make it the affair of this country
to help John Bull to hold all that
he has absorbed or stolen? An
s'ver that question with your vote
in November and you won't vote
for Mr.. Cox or his war league.

GAS MAY CO
EVEN HIGHER
Company Plans to Ask Perma'
nent Increase Unless Present
Conditions Change.

Continuation for two months, Sep
tember and October, Of the present
high gas rates was ordered by the
Public Utilities Commission today.
This means that the following gas
rates will be effective, unless other
wise ordered by the commission,
until October 81:
THESE RATES EFFECTIVE.
For 100000 cubic feet or less.
$I.25 per 1000 cubic feet.
From 100000 to 3OO.OO0 cubic feet,
II 70 per 1000 cubic feet.
From 800. 900 to 500. 900 cubic feet,
Sl.I5 per 900 cubic feet.
From 500 900 to 100000 cubic feet,
SI.IO per 1000 cubic feet.
From 75O,GOO 10 1,0OOyOOO cubic
feet, SI.05 per 900 cubic feet.
More thnn 1000 900 cubic feet, 81
per 900 cubic feet.
These rates have been effective for
the past three months. Unless there
is a change in conditions the Wash
ington Gas Company will probably
ask the ommission for a higher rate
within the next few months.
PRODUCTION COST INCREAsED.
The commission in itsSorderra@u
ted that the evidence presented by the
gas company showed an Increase in
the cost of production. but stated that
this increase came suddenly and for
this reason it believed sudden de-
crease was not unlikely.
1T is not unreasonable to assume
that the sharp increase Of cents per
gallon in the cost of oil in the month
of June may be followed by an equally
sudden decrease" said the commits
sion.

!. LOSE APPEAL
Few Variations From Original
Plan Made BY Com
mission.
Washington is zoned.

Washington is zoned.
Col Charles w. Kutz, chairman oi
the District Zoning Commission
officially made this announcement
shortly after 9 o'clock today.
In conjunction with the announce.
ment, Col. Kutz made public a set OF
regulations to govern future building
in Washington. These regulations
are now in effect.
SIGNED AT 10 O'CLOCK.
Signatures OF members OF the com.
mission were attached to the Tegula'
tions at 10 o'clock. Those win D signed
included Colonel Kutz. Commi sioner
Louis Brownlow. Major Clarence 5.
Ridley, and Elliott Woods. Major
Roger @. Powell and Major Carey
Brown, who took a prominent part in
zoning the city, were present.
The commission turned down the
request of the business men of Wash
ington that the limit OF height OF
buildings In the downtown section be
restricted TO 100 feet. The cornmis-
sion adhered to their tentative height
| regulation of 40 feet.
The height, area, and use districts
prescribed In the regulations are
shown on a set Of maps on file for
public inspection in the office Of the
District Engineer Commissioner. Dis
trict building. Maps may be seen
tomorrow.
STABILIZE REAL ESTATE.
Combined efforts of various trade
bodies in Washington to have the
commission allow buildings to be
erected as high as 100 feet were fu-
tile. In a statement accompanying
the regulations, the commission made
this reference to it's height decision:
The Zoning Commission is conf
dent that the maximum height limit
of 40 feet established in the down
town area will serve every necessary
purpose. that it will tend to prevent
undesirable congestion OF traffic,
that it will extend and stabilize the
values of real estate, and thus in con-
formity with the intent OF the law
will protect the public health. secure
the public safety ana protect property
in the District OF Columbia"
The commission pointed out that il
has been the policy OF the Government
to erect low buildings. In only one
instance. the 130-foot War Risk Build
ing. did the Government decide not to
follow its policy. AS a result. the
commission states, adverse criticism
has since been heard from every part
OF the United States.
HAD ~EYE- TO TRAFFIC.
1t also pointed out that If uniform
ity in height had been the aim of the
commission. it is probable a maximum
height OF eighty-fve feet, instead OF
40 feet, would have. been established
The height decision was made by the
commission with an eye upon the
city's traffic facilities and its living
conditions"
With a maximum height of 10 feet,
