lows:
From these various Investigations
and conferences we have come to the
conclusion that the rate of increase as
proposed by the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company is fair and
reasonable and amply justified in the
public interest.
believing the telephone to be one
of the most important adjuncts to-
ward efficiency in business. we are
more than anxious that the telephone
service in the District of Columbia
shall be maintained on the highest
possible basis of efficiency, and to do
nat reasonable revenues must be
available.
1T is a significant circumstance
that the committee has not received

The treaty of Versailles as it came
from Paris has been thrown squarely
into the coming presidential cam

which he is the titular head. to Gin

condemn the Lodge reservations
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts the
republican leader in the fight to
amend the document, has accepted
the Presidents challenge and politi-

and which all the free peoples of
