Definite news that American troops are now in constant action in the trenches and on the Lorraine frontier which means so much to France, rouses the nation to the right kind of enthusiasm. But the War Department should also realize what ateady stim. ulus to patriotic pride and confidence can come from marching} troops and martial music in big home cities, where the humdrum rush of business keeps the sense of war activity remote and the ears of men open to fault-finders, scare;mongers and disseminators of gloom. | a UNIFORM ELECTRICITY RATES FOR BROOKLYN. | NOTHER victory won in The Evening World's long fight to secure uniform rates for consumers of gas and electricity throughout the Borough of Brooklyn. After a five-years’ struggle with the evasions and objections of the Flatbush Gas Company, which enjoys an exclusive franchise for furnishing electric current to the ‘l'wenty-ninth Ward, the Public Service Commission has ordered the company to put into effect March 1 0 new schedule of descending rates. On that date the maximum rate per kilowatt hour must be re- duced from 12 to 10 cents; on Sept. 1, 1918, there must be a further reduction to 9 cents; and on March 1, 1919, the rate must come down | 1o 8 cents, to conform with the rate now charged consumers in other sections of Brooklyn. This long-due reduction of electric lighting rates in tho Twenty- | ninth Ward comes as a sequel to The Evening World’s earlier victory in securing the passage of the Brooklyn Eighty-Cent Gas Bill, which gave to residents of the Thirtieth and Thirty-first Wards the eighty- cent gas rate for which they waited ten years after it had been made mandatory for the rest of the city.
