America IL selfshly asking for rcSerVa-

tho difference between III" wording of

alton the United States assumes no

What the President seems L. fear is
that If the reservation in question is
specific il will convey the idea that the
United States is pulling out OF the
League before II even gets started and
that other nations will begin TO say
thry assume no obligations, either until
the whole structure or moral force
which has been built up in an effort 10
prevent future wars will not he worth
tho paper on which II is written. For
instance the value Of Article Ten as the
president sees II. is that whether or not
there Is pledge TO use the army and
navy OF the United states to preserve
the territorial integrity OF any nation

whose boundaries have been violated by
an invading army. the mere expression
hv the United STATES of It's disapproNal
through tn" medium of world-wlde
tribunal like the League of Nations
would be sufficient to deter an I'M
per:aliSt nation from making war on q
weak ncighbor. II tn" United states
had simply uttered. as President R"oSe-
Welt so long claimed. an expression ol
protest against Gcrmany's prospective
invasion Of Belgium. the fear might
have been ruGendcr.d in the hearts OF
German statesmen that America was on
the alert and that her public opinion
might become 50 inhamrd as 10 cause
h,.r Congress To recommend even fur-
thor steps To preserve peace. What Mr..

TO BUILD SHIPS FOR COAL,
Ready Conversion Of Oil Burners
Asked for New War Craft.

Secretary Payne Of the Depart-
ment Of the Interior yesterday. urged
redesignins of all oil-burninr mer-
camille and naval vessels now under
construction into vessels that NAV
be readily convertible to coal burners
in event of the failure Of the nations
oil supply. In letters sent to Secre-
tary Daniels of the Navy and Chair
man Benson Of the Shi pping Board
Secretary Payne pointed out the
enormous increase of oil consump-
ton over production in the United
States and declared 1T would be wise
to note this and to prepare"
Consumption is exceeding the sup
ply so largely" Judge Payne said in
his letter to Chairman Benson, ..that
heroic measures must be taken to
save oil. or we will find ourselves in
a comparatively short time on the
fiat of our backs. If the present ex-
cess Of consumption over production
continues there can be but one ONT
come-ultimate failure Of the oil sup
There are eighteen oil-burn,np
capital ships. twelve dreadnaughts
and six battle cruisers now under
construction by the Navy under the
1916 program, while several hundred
oil-burning destroyers were added
to the Navy during the war and many
others are now building. The present
fleet is consuming about 10000. 900
barrels of oil year, and this con-
sumption will be more than doubled
with the completion Of ships now I'M

SEES LESS TRAFFIC
WITH S-CENT FARE
Local Street Car Companies
Estimate Fewer Passen-
gers Are Carried.

Although the two street railway
companies have not had an oppor-
tunity since Saturday to compare the
number OF passengers now being car
rfed with the number carried under
the old rate of fare. officials believe
! there has been some decrease in traf-
fic as result Of the fare raise.
Past experience has shown that
many people join the walk-to-work
movement whenever the fare in
creases. but as days go by their en-
thusiasm dies down and large per-
centage resume riding.
!, One reason why the companies have
not been able to estimate the falling
of in traffic is TIE fact that the in
crease became effective on Satur-
day and the first day of the month.
The second day was Sunday. which
also is difficult for the purpose of
! comparisons
OMcials Of Companies Pleased.
Both companies are gratified with
| the way in which both the public and
the conductors have co-operated in
! handling the metal tokens in lieu of
paper tickets. and in the use OF the
William F. Ham. president Of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company. said he appreciated the spirit
of cooperation shown by the public In
buying supply Of tokens In advance
/ Oh tHe liJTOuuCllOI VI eAS liz" -
The same Is true Of the Capital Trac-
tion.
During the recent hearing on the
fare question Mr.. Ham estimated that
a fare Of 8 cents cash, or four tickets
for 30 cents. would result in 3 per
cent reduction in the number OF pas
sengers hauled.
The company expects to be able to
tell at the end of the first week how
near correct this estimate was.
Capital Traction Less Concerned.
Since the Capital Traction Company
did not need a fare increase. 1t Is not
so much concerned about the amount
of additional revenue the new rate
will bring in.
The finances Of the w. r. and E. are
such, however, that every penny
Icounts The company and the commits
sion estimated that the new rate would
give the w. r. and f. about $625.OOO
more a year Even II this estimate
proves correct. that company will still
be about 100000 short of earning a
s per cent return on it's physical val
uation after allowing for the increase
in wages recently granted trainmen.
The company is looking to Congress
to make UP this deficit by reduction
in taxation. The commission has stated
that it believes Congress should change
the form of railway taxation so as to
give the w. r. and f. the additional
money it needs.
