A new and brilliant success has marked
our offensive in the Ledro valley. Our
troops penetrated, the 22d, into Bezzeca
basin, occupied by the village
and the heights dominating it to the
north on the two sides of the Concel
valley.
In upper Cordevole our troops are closing
their grip on the difficult defenses
of the Col Di Lar.a. Two more
field forts were stormed and twenty'
five prisoners taken.
In the Rienz valley, the night of the
23d, the enemy attempted to attack
j our positions at a point where the
Popena debouches, but were repulsed.

in our favor, were fought near
Pontafel and Leopoldskirchen. In the
11 Monte Nero zone we completed the

attacks ori our Vodil positions. On
Monte Sabotino and on Podgore
height, in the Gorizia zone, our troops
have taken several trenches by assault.
On the Carso the troops fought all day

determination. Our infantry, undismayed
by the deadly effects of the
enemy's artillery, advanced impetuously
several times to the conquest
i of the enemy's positions, which, pre!vious
to that, had been plowed up
by the accurate and effective shelling
of our batteries. Our adversary
; opened a violent and rapid Are from
j numerous masked field and machine

I the Italians are still making: desperate
efforts, especially against the
heights west of St. Lucia, which is
continually attacked. Here their Alpine
troops penetrated a small portion
of our front. An energetic counter
attack by infantry regiments
Nos. 53 and 86 ejected the enemy in a
short time. In the Isonzo district the
enemy were unable to penetrate any I
part of our positions. Before the
bridgehead of Gorizia several attempts

FBENCH STATEMENT.
*ARIS, October 2Tit
n the Champagne district our troops
yesterday won an important success.
The enemy occupied, in front of their
second position, a salient very strongly
organized which had resisted all
our previous attacks. In its southwestern
part on the northern slopes
of hill No. 196, at a point two kilometers
(one and one-quarter miles)
to the north of Mesnil les Hurlus,
this salient included a very important
position called La Courtine, which we
have captured after heavy fighting.
La Courtine extended for a distance
of 1,200 yards, with an average depth
of 250 yards, and including three or
four lines of trenches connected up
with underground tunnels and the
customary communicating trenches,
all of which were organized for defense.
n spite of the thoroughness of the
German defensive works and the
ferocity shown by the German soldiers.
our men were successful, after
a vigorous preparatory artillery fire
and as a result of violent fighting, in
taking complete possession of this
position at the end of the day. The
losses of the enemy were serious, and
they left in our hands 200 prisoners
belonging to three different regiments.
^here has been no other action of importance
on the remainder of the
front.

CHEAPER ELECTRIC
RATES NOT NEAR:
i
Lowering of Cost to Consum- I
ers Obtainable Only by !
Resort to Courts. ;
1
Cheaper electric rates for District
consumers will not be accomplished by
the public utilities commission unless
resort is made to the courts.
This developed today at a hearing
given by the commission on proposed
orders changing the fiscal relations of
the Washington Railway and Electric
and Potomac Electric Power companies.
The commission's right to alter these
relations so as to prevent the former
company from selling electrical energy
which it acquires from the power concern
-?rnd to require the power corporation
to lower rates with the increased
earnings that might be derived from
the suggested arrangement was denied
in toto by the public service companies.
Such orders, if passed, would be null
and void, it was declared, the brief submitted
by the respondents all but stating
that before the orders would be
compiled with appeal would be made to
the courts.
Another Step in Investigation.
The hearing marked another step in
the long investigation that the commission
has been making of the business j
relations between these two public
service corporations. August 25 last it
announced the proposed orders under
consideration and gave the companies
until today to show cause why they
should not be issued.
Next week the commission will meet
to hear oral argument in the matter,
following which an early decision is j
expected. j
Attorney John S. Barbour presented
the brief, which reviewed at length the j
history of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and subsidiary companies,
and developments leading up
to the present business practices between
the railway and power companies.
President Clarence P. King of the railway
company, W. F. Ham. vice president,
and S. R. Bowen, secretary, who
assisted in the preparation of the brief,
were present during the hearing.
Mr. Ham Put on Stand.
Following the reading of the brief ;
Mr. Ham was put on the stand by the !
railway company attorney and ques- j
ut lAturth ms to the fiscal rela
tions between the two companies. No
witnesses were put on by the commission.
which appeared satisfied to rest ,
its case upon the evidence adduced at j
former hearings.
The proposed orders were the outgrowth
of the commission's belief that
the railway company should not be allowed
to sell* electric curiant, and that
it should make more adequate compensation
for the current it obtains from
the Potomac company.
Responding specifically to the question
of why it should not be ordered to
discontinue the sale of electric energy,
the railway company declared that this
practice is in violation neither of its
charter nor of law, and that the enforced
discontinuance of it would impair
the contract obligations between

Original Agreement Altered.
The proposition that the railway company
be ordered to pay to the power
company compensation originally
igreed upon in the contract of June 28,
1906, namely, actual cost to power
company of production of energy, inclusive
of interest at 6 per cent upon
property of company employed in proauction
and 10 per cent upon cost of
production, was rejected by the respondents
for practically the same reasons.
It was claimed that the terms of
the original agreement have been altered
by mutual consent for a Valuable
nnneMomtinn and ara nn 1 on?TP.r in
force.
Concerning: the proposed order that
the power company be required to file
with the commission rates for the sale
of electric energy to all utilities other
than the railway company, the respondents
took the position that the act creating
the public utilities commission
does not contemplate the filing of such
tariffs and that public convenience and
necessity do not require the same.
Five reasons were given against the
proposition to require the Potomac
Electric Power Company to reduce its
rates to consumers and public utilities
by an amount to offset any increased
amounts to be received by it from
public utilities as a result of the carrying
out of the proposed orders.
These were:
Because there will be no such increased
revenue from such sources.
Because the present rates are not unjust
nor discriminatory.
Because they are all within the maxi

Statement From Carranza Agency.
In a statement given out here today
at the Carranza agency it is said:
"(Jen. Plutarco Klias Calles. commanding
the forces of the Carranza
government of Mexico at Agua Prieta.
has reported to the confidential agency
in Washington the details regarding
the sharp flghtipx which took place to
the southward of that point yesterday.
in nis telegram, oaten ?unaay, uen.
Calles says:
"'At daybreak today 180 men. from
the advanced cavalry posts of the VI1Itsta
forces, under the command of the
so-called (Jen. Fructuoso Mendes, deserted
their ranks and are on their way
hither to surrender.
" 'They left their camp in a warlike
attitude, and during: the whole day
have been engaged in sharp fighting
with the Villa forces sent in their pursuit.
There have been several casualties
on both sides.
" 'Upon hearing of the incident I sent
out my advanced cavalry from their
i stations at Cabullona. with orders to
j extend all assistance to those who.
! cognizant of the.ir error, are deserting
! the ranks of Francisco Villa. Up to
j this time fifty men have been received
I within our lines, and it is my hope
that by morning the entire detachment
will have made their way in safety to
I this point. This is very likely, as the
enemy, upon learning that our forces
were coming to the assistance of the
| fugitives, retired upon their own
j base.' "
