Expert Says Steam
Power Will Cost Less
Than Water Power

WASHINGTON, Dec. l2.-The day when
electric power. generated by steam, will
be cheaper than that generated by the
falling waters of streams, is not far dis
tant. is the opinion OF John A. Britain.
vice president and general manager OF
the Pacific Gas and Electric company OF
California, who appeared today before the
senate public lands committee to oppose
the water power site leasing bill
Mr., Britain asserted that the rapid de-
velopment OF steam turbines and oil fuel
had kept pace with the progress In hydro
electric power generation and that al
ready electricity developed from steam
had been sold IN competition with hydro
electric energy at lesser rate. For this
reason, he argued, water power plants
should not be laden with additional bur
dens proposed In the leasing bin.

GERMANS MAY AGAIN
ASSUME OFFENSIVE

Paris, Sept. 15.-Having saved the
bulk of it's army by retreat the Ger.
man general staff is now trying to re.
organize for a defensive stand so that
another offensive weapon can be
whipped into shape.
All of the information received here
indicates that the German flight is
rapidly slackening speed.
1t is plainly evacuating all Of the
northwest Of France and Belgium,
preparing for a general concentration
in the east either to resume the ag.
gressive should the allies show evil
dence that their own rapid move
ments have handicapped them, or for
a defense of the German empire itself
along the frontier.
There is no attempt in Paris to de,
Jude anyone with the belief that be-
cause of the victory of the battle OF
the Marine the war is over.
The German rear guard is contest,
ing every step of the way.
The lines have been closed up and
their resistance is reported much
stronger than at any time since the
retreat began. But their northern
lines of communication are endanger
ed and the pressure on their eastern
lines through Luxembourg and the ter
ritory south is very great.

Petrograd, Sept. 15.-Declaring that
the Austrian opposition in Galicia has
received a. death blow the Russian
general staff frankly admits that re-
treat was ordered in Prussia on Sept.
10. The statement regarding the op-
erations on German territory says:
ION Sept. 10 our air scouts reported
the coming of an overwhelming Ger
man army heavily equipped with ar
tillery who were preparing to attack
the main body of Russian troops then
holding the country under the COM
mand of General Rennenkampf.
"Our position was not strategically
strong and orders were given to with
draw to selected positions. These
are now being held and fighting is in
progress. The Russian left wing was
attacked by an overwhelming force
and was forced to give way, but new
positions have now been taken and
the German advance is checked every
where.
1.-THE Austrian military strength is
completely crushed. They are retreat
ing in the utmost disorder every
where.
Russian cavalry are pursuing them
and harrassing them, while the Rus
sian artillery has been posted at GER

Austrians Attempt to Rally.
The entire strength of the Russian
first line troops is in action against
the Austrian army, which is endeav-
oring to rally under the protection Of
the fortress of Przemysl and along the
San river to point north of Jaroslav
It was officially stated that out of
the 100000 Austrians who comprise
the Austrian first line Of troops many
are already prisoners of war.
1t is stated the army of General
Dankl has been dispersed and the
main armies of General Won Auffen-
berg and Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
which had been heavily reinforced
from German sources, have suffered
greatly.
Under the immediate direction of
Grand Duke Nicholas the Russian as
sault is being kept UP. Strong Rus
sian columns are being sent down the
territory between the San and the
Vistula from the north to attack the
Austrians on the flank and prevent
German achievements reaching
them. At the same time the center
army, commanded by General Rous-
sky, is driving the main Austrian
forces from the vicinity of Grodek
Russian officials say that the Aus
trian situation is extremely desperate.

GERMAN
TREA

Already Near Bel

HEAVY RAINS ADD
TO DIFFICULTIES
French Lorraine Said to Be
Entirely Clear Of the
Kdiser'S Forces.

Paris, Sept. 15.-The retreat of the
Buelow continued at last accounts
with considerable rapidity. The only
official comment is that the allies are
keeping in contact with the enemy
and have crossed the River Aisne.
The whereabouts of the Germans
was not revealed, but it is evident
they do not intend to make a stand
on the line from Rheims to scissors,
and it is hardly likely, it is thought
here, that they will halt their retreat
before reaching Belgium. They al.
ready have made two-thirds Of the dis
lance from Urovins, in the depart
ment of Seine-et-Marne, to the from
tier. The heavy rains of Saturday
and Sunday are not likely to facili.
tate the movement of the famous
420-milimetre mortars that were to
reduce Paris and which require forty
horses to draw them.
Still Offering Resistance.
The armies of Generals Won Hansen
and the Prince of Wurttemberg, which
constituted the center, seem to be
headed toward Rethel and Mezieres,
though part of this force is reported
as still resisting at the south end Of
the forest of the Argonne.
1t was reported that the armies of
the crown prince, the Prince of Ba-
varia and General Won Heeringen had
been forced across the frontier and
that the entire territory of French
Lorraine had been liberated.
This disposition of the German ar
mics, if confirmed, makes another con-
centration in France, as suggested by
certain critics, impossible. 1t leaves
Generals Won Kluck and Won Buelow
holly pursued by the allies and men,
aced by an enveloping movement on
the left and without hope of reinforce
ments, except perhaps from the co.
900 troops which occupy Belgium.
The latest news from Antwerp,
however, shows that these are likely
to be needed there, to stand off the
offensive movement taken by King
Albert's army.
