w, B. "a NEWFARE
Commuters Club Petitions
for Suspension of Author.
lied Increase.

Suspension of the tariff authorizing
the Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis Electric Railway Company to
increase its round trip and commute
ton fares from Washington to all
points in Maryland was asked in a
petition filed today with the Inter-
w, B. and A. Commuters Club of
Seabrook. Md. The commission au-
thorized the increases asked by the
road, which became effective at mid
night July II.
Pointing out that the road last. year
earned 7R per cent on it's common
stock, and that it has a surplus of
10 per cent of it's capital stock, the
petition asserts that the raise in
fare is unjust, unfair, discriminatory
and a violation of the interstate COM
merce act
Text Of the Petition.
The petition follows:
I'VE, the W., B. and A. Commuters
Club, hereby protest the raise in fare
granted the W., B. and A. r. r. July
II, in I. c. c. tariff 2l9. The raise is
unjust, unfair, discriminatory and a
violation of the I. c. c. act.
"The W., 3. and A. and the w. r.
and z. are joint carriers, and adver-
tise midcity terminals and sell round
Baltimore and Annapolis. and file a
schedule with the l. c. c.; but these
roads violate this act by advertising
to Washington, the communication tick
cts being good to the District line
only.
"The raise is unfair because the
W., B, and A., in 1919, paid 7h per
and alb and has a surplus of 10 per
cent of S100,5e0 in liberty bonds, are
worth money; it has bought and paid
for many valuable pieces of property
from it's earnings.
Prosperity Of Road Admitted.
1.-The W., B. & A. officials admit the
road is prosperous. yet it was granted
this increase in fares ranging from 3
BANKRUPT ie com aps tor the the Annapolis
Short Line, received only a. 20 per
cent raise in fare. Such decisions
CAUSE unrest and suspicious of in
tegrity, as the W.. B. & A. knew the
decision two days in advance, which
shows there was either a leak or
great expectations.
The W., 3. & A. was granted 8
cents a mile, a fare practically the
same as the steam road. which costs
seven times as much train mile as
to raise the soldiers fare from Wash
ingtpn to Camp Meade from $1.05 to
$f54; the w, B. & A. profited by it's
subsidy company leasing 5000 acres
of land to the government for Camp
Meade. In 1917 when Camp Meade
had thousands Of soldiers. the w. B.
& A. operating expenses were only
47h per cent Of it's operating rev.
enues. The W., B. & A. sold last year
$1s1,s11 worth of the power it pur-
chased. Its contract for cents car
fare with the W.. r. & e. C. runs for
more than ten Yeas.
In view Of these facts, we ask that
you suspend tariff 219 of the Wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis rail-
way"

nicely. Shamrock ran a quarter of a
mile ahead of Resolute. She picked
up a puff of air and sailed around
Resolute to windward, luck being
with the royal Ulster boat.
Resolute still chung to her ballona,
which seemed to draw well. but could
not apparently compete with Sham

Two airplanes raced up and down
the course, coming closer to the cup
craft than usual. Overhead being a
big naval dirigible.
Both yachts had worked to the
windward of the course to the first
mark, and at 1870 Shamrock bore
away for it with Resolute more than
800 yards astern. Inshore south
western seemed to be working out
toward the yachts.
Shamrock picks up the first breath
of the Southwestern at 1:45 and in
creased her lead to nearly half a

time about four miles to leeward.
Yachts Again Drifting.
The race, however, appeared from
shore little more than a good drift

getting the lucky puffs Of air showed
to the best advantage. Oily spots
showing an utter absence of breeze
were observed in long smears over
the sea, which here and there began
to f1atten out.
Off to the westward a few thunder
heads were seen and marine observers
thought the yachts might encounter
a sQuall before the race was over
Without Strengthening breeze how :
ever, it seemed doubtful whether the
racers could finish within the six
hour time limit.
At 2 o'clock, with the mark to lee
ward three miles away, Resolute ap-
peared to be starboard and headed for
it. Shamrock had ovefstood the mark
in an effort to pick up the new breeze,
but it failed; she lost by the move.

west, driving Resolute along until

FRANCE IS READY
TO ACT AS BRITAIN
GETS SOVIET mo"
BoIshevik Rejection Called
Attempt to Separate Al
lies and Poland.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, July 20.-Referring to Pre-
mier Lloyd Georges ultimatum to
soviet Russia that if the armistice
proposals were not accepted Great
Britain and her allies would defend
Poland with all their forces and in
every way, Premier Millerand told
the chamber of deputies today:
France will keep her word. as I
am sure Great Britain will be faithful
to hers"
The premier reminded the deputies
that Gen. Wrangel. the anti-bolshevik
commander in south Russia, had
achieved striking successes against
the bolsheviki, and had installed a
government that recognized the
obligations of the preceding Russian
government and had won the SYM
pathy of the population by agrarian
reforms.
New British Note.
LONDON, July 20.-The British gov
ernment'S reply to the note of Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin of soviet Russia, re-
garding an armistice with Poland, will
be dispatched tonight. 1t intimates that
if the Russians advance farther into
Poland. all negotiations for trade be-
tween Great Britain and Russia will be
broken off.
The reply of the Russian soviet gov
eminent to the British note concerning
an armistice with Poland, rejects in sub
stance the British peace proposals, ac-
cordlng to the London Times. which to-
day publishes a summary of the soviet
answer.
The document is a very lengthy one
and the Times assumes that it will
soon be published by the government.
The bolsheviki decline to come to
London for the suggested peace con-
ference, according to the Times, be-
cause they say Great Britain is not
impartial. They also object to the adj
mission to the conference of delegates
from the Baltic states, saying Russia
already has made peace with them.
"Unfair to Poland"
AS to Poland, the bolsheviki govern
ment points out that the proposed
armistice line IS unfair to Poland, and
that with direct negotiations the boil
sheviki are prepared to grant Poland a
much more favorable frontier
The bolshevik reply refuses fatty
to entertain any conditions regarding
the forces of Gen. Wrangel and the
refugees in South Russia, and de-
mands the unconditional surrender of
these.
The tone of the reply is sarcastic,
says the Times, which declares it is
aimed at driving a wedge between
Poland and the allies by stimulating
Polish dissatisfaction with the British
proposal.
The Times adds that it believes the
reply will make it more difficult for
Great Britain to enter into trade re-
lations with Russia.

Shamrock's Captain
Gets Another Chance
to Show SeamanShiu

SANDY HOOK, N. J., July 20 (by the
Associated Press) Interest in today's
race for the Americas cup chung not
only to whether Resolute or Shamrock
" won, but to whether Capt William
P. Burton, aboard the Upton craft,
would make & showing that would war
rant Sir Thomas keeping him in COM
mand Of the challenger.
Dissatisfaction was reported to have
run high among the Upton forces after
Saturdays contest, which was called
off when Resolute, although showing her
heels to the British sloop, had been I'M
able to cross the finish line within the
six-hour time limit.
With Capt Burton's handling of the
challenger under fire. Sir Thomas would
not deny that he had virtually decided
to replace Shamrock's commander with
He did, however, let it be known that
Capt Burton would sail again today.
He added this significant comment:
After that l cannot say"
1t is understood that Capt Burton
had asked for another chance and that
this had been granted him. 1t is ex-
pected, therefore. that the British Cor
inthian today will show the best he has
in him, for to relinquish command of
an America cup sloop in the middle of
regatta would be without precedent.
With the score l to 0 in favor of
Shamrock, because Of withdrawal Of the
American sloOp in the first race after
her mainsail had fallen almost to the
deck. the crew of the Resolute were
confident that they would be able to win
three out of five races and retain the
cup in this country. From the other
camp came word that Sir Thomas was
sure his Irish sweetheart had the
sailing qualities needed to capture two
| more contests and lift the bottomless
pewter trophy.

THE POINT OF VIEW

Love may be the greatest thing i
the world,
But enough money to insure comfo1
Is not the smallest,
And love travels a weary road
And generally a short one.
Without it,
Sentiment goes to seed,
And romance fivvers out
Like the last quavering notes
OF lonesome dog in the night,
When it is necessary
To say to the grocer,
1ll try to see you next week"
