prevails that a slight reduction will

The rate to householders is now

preme Court pending a final decision
by the United States Supreme Court
on the valuation of the power com

At todays meeting the commission
also will consider the new petition
Of William NICK. Clayton that the
Capital Traction Company be ordered
to sell three tokens for 20 cents.
The commission may also discuss
the accident on a one-man car of the

troller box caught fire.

ALL FAVOR TREATY.

Throughout yesterdays discussion
not a single voice was raised in OPP
position, although from the demo-
cratic side there were numerous ex-
pressions Of disappointment that the
treaty did not go further in the direc-
tion of both land and sea disarma-
ment. Claiming share OF credit for
the reduction actually accomplished,
the democrats at the same time sought
to show that the whole idea OF an
ARMAMENT conference originated with
the Democratic Congress Of 1915 and
finally was forced upon a reluctant
republican administration.
At the outset Of debate on the naval
treaty Senator Lodge Of Massachu-
setts' the republican leader, explained

Worth told the reichstag today at
the conclusion Of an hours discussion
of the decisions Of the reparations
commission.
Throughout his speech the chan
cellor was unusually frank in his
criticism of the allies treatment of
the reparations problems. charging
that the commission either was I'M
amenable to everyday logic or had
persistently neglected to acquaint
itself with the actual status of Ger
many's economic situation. The rep
arations decision, accompanied by a
letter which the chancellor said was
couched in a needlessly severe tone,

$4,000, 900 100000 marks to the Ger
man budget in consequence of the
unprecedented slump of the market,
which set in automatically with the
notes arrival.
He reminded the allies of their pre-
vious assurances that the reparations
commission was not entitled to such
prerogatives.
Entente Gets Two-Thirds.
Denying that the German govern
ment was wasteful in the conduct Of
its administrative organism. the
speaker pointed out that two entente
generals are receiving more pay than
President Ebert and the entire cabI-
net. He estimated that two-thirds
Of the budget as now computed was
reserved for the entente's demands,
