A :'WARSWITH6ERMANY OP STANDING, CLEMENCEAU ASSERTS pt, IHncM "f Commlsslonci; Alcorn prc ted the PubUo Scrvlco Commission tak- ud for further consideration today the ..ppllcatlon oi "t -" -- rtlflca'es of public convenience for the rlou lines of the high-speed system. TVhen Commissioner Alcorn returns from Atlantic City, where. ho Is recuperating, orobably on, Thursday, Chairman William n B. Alney Is expected to make a deter mined effort to break the deadlock which last week prevented any action except on the Frankrord "W extension, from Dyre to Rhawn street. Ao effect of Mayor Smith's letter of last seek demanding that the commission either Trant tho certificates or take acMon to re fuse them definitely Is problematical. If the deadlock can be broken under the com bined prc?suro of the chairman, the Mayor and Governor Brumbaugh, the matter will be settled and the city can proceed with the high-speed construction work. But If the deadlock cannot bo broken, it u considered doubtful whether the commis sion will heed the urgent request of the Mayor to deny definitely the certificates. Such ft step, the members of tho commission realUC, W0UIU JIuhuij iun m 4,, icftiu teat of their right to hold up the city de ulopments projects after these have been approved by the voters at the polls. City Solicitor Connelly and other private attorneys have given Mayor Smith Informal opinions that the commission has already exceeded its constitutional authority by withholding favorable action. For this reason it Is not held likely that the com mission will be anxious to face a test The three commissioners who are hold 'inr up action are: MICHAEL. J. RYAN, Philadelphia. WILLIAM A MAOEE, Pittsburgh. JOHN S. RILLING, Erie. It has been suggested that Governor Brumbaugh take steps to forco tho Issue by filling the existing vacancy on the ,nard with a man who can be trusted to follow the wishes pf the people. The va cancy has existed since the death of former Governor Pennypacker nnd the Governor has been slow In making any appointment because of the factional fight in the Legis lature which has led tho Senate to hold up conflmatlon of the appointment of ieral other members of tho Service , Board. The certificates which are being held up all have been before the commission since 116, with tho exception of that for the Dafiby elevated line. The other certificates coyer the Broad street subway, tho subway delivery loop, the Northwest Parkway line and the Thirty-fifth Wd surface line. Bids have been opened by the Transit Department for the entire delivery loop and for three sections of the Broad street tubway from South to Stiles street. On account of the commission's delay, how eer, the department Is unable to award contracts, and work which will cost more - than $15,005,000 accordingly is being- re tarded indefinitely. The dally loss to the city In Interest and sinking fund charges on transit bonds Is estimated at 'approxi mately $680. By HENRI BAZIN Bvcclal' Correspondent tn France of the Evening Ledger PARIS, March 23. Georges Clemenceau, Senator and ex Premier, tho fighting old war horse of French politics, whoso paper, l'Homme Enchalne, Is qutto often seized and sup' pressed from publication for a few days, received mo today and talked for a few moments upon conditions cxtstant nnd rela tively pre-exlstant between the United States and Oermnny. The substance of tho Interview appears In theso words of M. Ulemenceau: "A stale of war has lontr existed between the United States nnd Germany, but the Ocrmans were tho only people of the two who seemed to know It. I do not mean that tho-Germans are of superior Intelli gence. But I do mean that the acts of States and rulers nro not always based upon the logic of reason, that tho Prussian Gov ernment had played double for so long with tho United States that finally the Amer ican Government admitted to Itself what Germany really Is. And from that time a state of war existed, although the Amer ican people did- not know It nor the Gov ernment proclaim It." BEGAN WITH LUSITANIA "When In your opinion did this stato of war begin to exist?'1 was asked. "From tho moment," replied M. Clemen ceau, "the Lusltanla was sunk, despite nothing came of It on tho faco but diplo matic exchange. And I think, too, that tho recent sinking of American cargo boats by submarines made the true situation clear to the American people In a manner be yond the German submarine note of late January or President Wllson'si reply. "From a certain Dersncctlve Jt seems ndil that the long since murdering of more than a hundred people should bring but a gen eral division of opinion, and tho recent sinking of American cargo boats a unanimity of view. And yet it Is easily ex plained. The American people are by na ture pacifists. They have enjoyed Buch great progress in national prestige and such happy Interior conditions under peace that sj'un 'ji.j.ttfctUn; they are loath to resign It for war, even .when aggressed nnd Insulted as no nation has ever been aggressed nnd Insulted by a supposedly friendly nation. "So, despite repented. Insolent German knocking nt the American door, tho Ameri can pcoplo could not hear. Tho hearing mennt n radical change In public opinion under a, governmental organization In which nothing servile, open or masked 'existed, In a land where men are realty free, where, un like other Republics, public prints fearlessly say what they have to say lit honest criti cism of public policy without being sup pressed. "Today tho entire United States has hoard the call, awakened to the fact that In civilization their people aro the offspring of a civilization across the sea, and that ns son with most of Europe ns father they are equally menaced by tho monstrous Ger man attempt at world domination through force. "Before enllghtment came the natlon.dld not realize the able chief at Its head, who ns a true ruler of democracy, kept his ear to tho ground waiting tho psychological mo ment before speaking openly upon a convic tion long resident within his heart. "When tho moment camo Mr. Wilson, made history, and made clear, too, that a war with Germany was not a thlnir that threatened but a thing that had been. And suddenly the entire hundred mlllloni saw it, saw it as n unit, making tho formal dec laration to come but a Stato paper of sec ondary Importance. "The United States today is ono on the firing line with us, as truly ni If she had an armed force there, as genuinely as If her Hag flew there. She Is arrayed against the monstious blind el of Prusslanism with fifteen hundred millions of hearts bound up In a common righteous nlm. "This world unity foretells the end of forco ns dictator, and slicds n now light upon the rights -of men in tho world,' of nil men, regardless of race, color, nationality, and I don't exclude tho coming generations of Germany. "Tho universe Is going to be a better place to live In, and for the only time I can remember, 1 regret I am an old man." Atoftif?
