RULE UTILITY Rates
CANNOT Be REDUCED
WITH OTHER PRICES

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Nov. 15-Re-
ductions of public utility rates to cor
respond with the marked decline in
prices of other commodities can not
be expected by utility patrons because
the rates were not advanced commen-
surately with the general increase of
prices during the war period, accord
ing to the annual report of the public
service commission which was COM
pleted today by Frank B. Faris, exam
iner for the commission.
THE past year has been one of
rather marked decline in most com
modify prices the report says, and
has been characterized by a business
depression. The commission is aware
of the fact that the public is impa-
tient to see lowered rates for public
utilities. 1t is impossible, however, for
the commission radically to reduce
utility rates to correspond to the de-
crease in farm products, etc. During
the past year. there were only 53S
formal cases filed as against S27 the
year before, a reduction of 80 per cent.
There is, however. a sound distinc-
tiOn to be made between the cessa-
tion of demand for increased rates on
the part of the utilities and a slashing
of utility rates on the part of the COM
mission. Utility rates did not in
crease in proportion to, or contempor-
aneOusly with, the rapid increase of
prices during the year 1919, and a part
of 1920. Had utility rates been in
creased in direct proportion to, and
simultaneously with, all commodity
prices and labor costs thew could have
been reduced in direct proportion to
the decrease in these elements in util-
ity expenses"

LOST, STATES HARDING
(Rv Associated PrcssN

DETROIT. Mich. Nov. 15-If the
churches fail in their high and holy
tasks there is small hope for civiliza-
ton. President Harding told a national
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church here today in a message read
by Bishop William f. Mcdowell of
Washington, ID. c. The message was
read at the opening of the conference,

the church's history.
Whoever halts the churches must
march forward more swiftly than they
have done the president message

in such need of right morals, right
ideals, right relations among men and
nations. right spirit for meeting un-
naralleled conditions and sound relig-

The president closed his message by

IRISH CRISIS

Rejection by British Delegates

PRECLUDES u, s. TRIP
CBy Associated Pressl

LONDON, Nov 15-The initiative
in the Irish peace negotiations is
again in the hands of Prime Minister
Lloyd George, the counter proposals
made by the Ulster cabinet members
having been rejected last night by the
British delegates.
No further meeting of the British
and Ulster delegates has been ar
ranged but the negotiations have en-
tered upon a stage which it is thought
viii lead to extended conferences,
covering perhaps several months.
This development promises to shat

The premiers efforts will now be
directed, il is thought, toward bring
ing Ulster into a tri-partite agreement
with The British government and The
Sim Fein.
The delegates of the latter plan to
make no move until Mr. LLOYD George
indicates his next step. The Ulster
ties are holding out for independent

ireland must be a governmental unit.

STATES DISARMAMENT
JAPAN'S LAST CHANCE
TO AVERT BANKRUPTCY
CBy Associated Press)

TOXIC, Nov. 15-Japan's last chance
to escape bankruptcy as the result OF
her colossal naval aggrandizement
schedule is for this nation to unite
under the leadership of President
Harding of the United States in an
endeavor to the most to make The
Washington conference a brilliant sue
cess according to a statement made by
Yukio Ozaki, perhaps the foremost
fighter for disarmament in Japan. Mr..
Ozaki made this declaration at a peace
meeting called in Kobe under the au-
spices of the Osaka Aeshi.
Japan is in a financial dilemma and
national bankruptcy is possible in case
her colossal aggrandizement scheme is
carried out" Mr., Ozaki said. The
Washington conference is the last
chance in which Japan can hope for
limitation of arms, thereby to insure
a lasting world peace.
Whether the conference will sue
ceed depends largely upon the enthus-
iasm and determination of the ma
tions sitting at the meeting. In view
of the fact that the future of this ma
tion is so vitally involved in this con-
ference, the whole nation, both gov
erDmGnl ana people SnOuIu De uUlteu
to help achieve the brilliant success
of the conference.
Urges Sincerity
Don't CamOuflage but show your
sincerity and then the conference will
be successful, Mr. Ozaki continued.
Since the end of the great war a
phenomenal psychological change
among the nations is shown by their
antipathy toward an aggressive and
military nation, as such is believed to
be an international menace. To make
the whole world realize the sincerity
and fairness of Japan, it is highly ad-
visable for her to withdraw her troops
from Siberia as quickly as possible.
America, whose natural resources
are abundant and whose materials are
produced without limit can expend her
navy at will. When Japan builds one
battleship, America can, if she desires,
build several. The more ships Japan
builds, the weaker Japan becomes
when compared with America
THE Washington conference will be
successful if America, Great Britain,
Japan and the other nations sit to-
gether sincerely" Mr.. Ozaki conclud-
ed.

LESSON OF The LElPslc CASES.

LESSON OF THE LElPslc CASES
The ocQnittal Of General Stenger,
the first high German officer TO be
placed on trial for war crimes, prob
ably win convince the allies that they
went 10 the wrong court for justice.
Just why IL should have been a shock
to the French legal mission which at
tended the trial at Leipslc Is not plain.
The accused was tried in his own
country, by his own countrymen. His
accusers were French His crimes
were against Frenchmen What could
the allies have expected? Frlghtful-
ness was the first article Of war taught
to Germans. TO inspire fear was
the duty OF every German officer, and
the history of tile war illustrated how
effective that teaching had been. The
doctrine is now upheld by the Leip-
sic court, says the Kansas City Star.
The lesson to the allies, IL they still
needed It, Is that Germany, or at any
rate, the governing class Of which the
Lelpsic court is representative, Is still
militarlstlc. That class knows no
such thing as war crimes 1t was its
creed, and evidently stlll is. that no
act committed by German by which
a non.Gernnan suffers is or can be a
crime.
