night under the auspices of the Ford
peace expedition ia characterised
here aa tha most enthusiastic demon
stration for peace that Europe haa
seen since the war began. Nearly
1,000 citizens of Stockholm attended.
Every mention ot an ear'y end to the
war provoked prolonged applause.
When Louis Lochner, secretary of
the expedition, announced that the
executive committee had secret In
formation that certain onea ot the
belligerent' natlona were willing to
negotiate for peace, the meeting be
came tumultous.
"It would astonish tha world." aald
Mr. Lochner, ,"lf we made It known
at thla time what Influences are at
work for peace. Thla Information
baa been In the possession of the
executives of the expedition ever
since we sailed from New York. It
waa the real encouragement behind
the expedition. We have every as
surance) that onr project will meet
with favor, although at this time It
cannot be said Just what la behind
the movement."

initiative in leading neutrals in a peace
movement
The sucoeaa of tha meeting, which was
the flrat of a publlo character sine the
arrival of the party In Sweden, Is attrib
uted to the fact that most Swedes can
understand English. For the benefit of
those unable to understand English the
speeches ware translated by Interpreters
on the platform. Each time a speaker

the oongresa In "The ragulatloa ot publlo
utilities," la whether necessary private
tunda can be obtained under regulations
for the development ot these utilities.
He aald H waa certain that tha rata of
return must be very much In excess of
the rate at which the government could
borrow money for providing the eame
utilities and the question might finally
be "can the people afford to regulate
their utilities, or la It batter that the
governmen furnish tho service at flrat
handt"
Mr. Frouty aald that tha need of gov.
eminent regulation of tha utility waa due
to tha fact that the corporation furnish
ing tha service usually haa a monopoly.
Tha patron who requires the service must
pay the price asked. Ha aald that elnoe
