Germany Must Say
Yes or No to Wilson
Note/Is Allies' View
liondon, Oct. 5. —The popular
comment on the President's note
here is that it contains the strongest
language over addressed by the head
of one great nation to another in
modern times. The note is welcomed
first, because 't brings matters to a
new state: further proceedings, if
there are to be further proceedings*
will be in the hands of all the gov
ernments interested.
Hitherto, so far as the public
knows, the nations associated with
the United States, and which have
more at stake perhaps than has the
United States, have been onlookers
'to the correspondence.
The note is welcomed, secondly,
because it promises to bring the
season of discussion to an end al
together, one way or the other. No
one sees how the German chancellor.
Prince Maximilian, can fail either to
accept President Wilson's platform
or reject it. Acceptance will he
taken to mean that the Germans
regard tneir position as hopeless
and that disaster is imminent.
Ask Golf Bags and Sticks
For Use of the Soldiers
"Pack up your sticks in the old
golf bag. and smile, smile, smile" Is
the slogan Jrom Bob Fairbairn and
Chris. Sauers, of the Harrisburg Res
ervoir Park Tennis* Club to all mem
bers, for the boys in service have use
for second hand clubs and bags. Soon
as the members turn them In they
will be forwarded to headquarters
and distributed, for the soldier Is now
getting a hold on golf and Uncle Sam
Is encouraging him in the -port. It
Is hoped Harrisburg will make a good
showing In this benevolence.

"PEACE NOTES"
A western circuit court has re
fused separation to a wife who pro
tested that she could not live any
longer with her husband because
of his snoring and advised her to
"get along the best she could."
"Been wounded twice and gassed,"
sighed "Billy" Smith, of Sumter, S.
C., as he arrived home front France
"and I want to enjoy peace. Give
me something to eat, couple dozen
oysters, a lobster, lots of eggs, son\e
beefsteak, roast pork, tomato salad,
horse radish, cheese, jam an' any
thing elße that's kickin' round."
Army report—the next 75,000 men
to go abroad will be adept at the
bayonet, principally from their skill
in boxing which they have been
taught at camps.
"I want to get back to the front
where the shells sing Home Sweet
Home," writes Dan Fortna, of West
Fairvlew, front a French hospital.
"All I want is peace" cried Adolph
Lutz way out in lowa, when seven
stalwart women appeared against
hini in court, having responded per
sonally to his advertisement for a
wife.
City police intercepted Sylvester
Wilson going home with twelve
quarts of liquor which he had stolen
from Sam K;tzman's store in North
Seventh street.
"Until then we must prepare to
resist a peace of violence," Prince
Max.
"Violence is my first name when
it comes to making peace with
thugs," Uncle Sam.
BILLS SHOULD
BE PROTECTED
Public Service Commission
Issues Interesting Decision
in Harrisburg Gas Case
The Public Service Commission,
in directing the Harrisburg Gas
Company to furnish gas to J. E.
Stoney, a Harrisburg- barber whose
supply of gas had been shut oft at
his Seventh street home because of
failure to pay a bill of $57.30 and
who obtained a supply at his shop
lat 1024 Market street upon promise
to pay the arrears and did not, es
tablishes a precedent in such cases.
The opinion handed down by Com
missioner W. A. Magee says that
the company, "in depriving the
complainant of a supply at his place
of business because of a prior de
linquency at his residence was a
violation of the rights of the com
plainant," even though he had spe
cifioally promised to pay the old bill
as one of the conditions imposed
by the company before the service
was granted him at his barber shop.
"Such conditions should not have
j been imposed," says Mr Magee.
"The company by so doing was
! merely trying to recoup the loss sus
-1 tained by it at the complainant's
| home, which loss was due to its
own neglect. The 'Public Service
| Company Law permits the require
i ment that charges be paid in ad
vance or that a deposit be made to
secure future payments of such
charges or the supply can be shut
off nt the first delinquency. The re
spondent in this case failed to take
these precautions. It lost the pro
tection afforded by the act and then,
instead of pursuing the ordinary
legal processes for the recovery of
its debt, it attempted this short-cut
method of collection. The act of
the company was arbitrary and op
pressive and should not be sus
tained." /
The Public Service Commission, in
an exhaustive opinion by Commis
sioner John S. Rilling handed down
last night, holds that the commission
has authority to make an inquiry
into the reasonableness of the rates
charged the city of New Castle by
the City of New Castle Water Com
pany, which are fixed by contract.
The city of New Castle contended
that the contract having been made
prior to the enactment of the Pub
lic Service Company Law, the rates
specified should prevail and that
any change would be against con
stitutional rights. All contracts
fixing rates are subject to the state's
superior right to fix rates, holds Mr.
Hilling, who also says that the city
does not have by reason of its spe
cial act of incorporation any higher
authority than any other munici
pality In Pennsylvania. The con
tract. he says, "does not preclude
the commission from exercising Its
authority to inquire Into and deter
mine the reasonableness of the rates
complained of."
Commissioner H. M. McClure, In
deciding the application of the
Cresson Taxi Service for a certifi
cate to do business in Cresson and
vicinity, refuses the right to haul
passengers between Creeson Station
and the state sanatorium, but grants
one for Creeson and vicinity. There
