of the years time to take over the
plant set by Federal Judge McPder-
son, Dec. 3, 1918, and that as the time
has expired the city had lost its
rights granted by a special election
under a state law. This leaves the
case where it started over 20 years
ago with the exception that the wat
err works company holds that the city
having once exercised its rights oil
eminent domain to condemn and take
over the plant on appraised valuation

not exercise the right again. Tires
special elections to buy the plant

required majority OF the votes cas-
at the last general election. The thirt

Weather Conditions and Capture
Entire Line Of Trenches.

Paris, Dec. 30.--Artillery fighting
on a tremendous scale features the
battle at many points along the line.
This Is especially so on the center Of
tie right wing of the French posi-
tions and in upper Alsace where the
French gunners have violently bonn
barded the German artillery posted
in the vicinity of Aspach. Despite
the inclemency of the weather and
the difficulty in moving, the Germans
again To-Day began an attempt to re
capture st. George near Newport
Here the French lines have been
moved forward two miles. The
Germans brought up heavy artillery
along this road and subjected the
French positions to continuous bonn
bardment The French have been
able to reoccupy important positions
southeast of Zonnebeke on the Barle
road and are now in position to drive
a wedge into the German line in that
vicinity. The lighting here has been
of desperate character for weeks but
the French have taken advantage OF
the German withdrawal caused by
weather conditions, posted their line
forward and have finally captured
the entire line of trenches.
Austrians Not Routed.
Vienna, Dec. 30.-The Austrians
deny that their armies have been
routed but admit they have with
drawn to take up new positions be-

Making Progress. - British
Trapped in Flooded Lands.

Berlin, BY Wireless to Sayville, l..
L., Dec. 30.-The German war Office
statement issued to-day contradicts
the French claims of victory in the
western front. The Germans say
they won successes southwest OF
Ypres and around Newport before
the bad weather stopped the fighting.
The French lost heavily northwest OF
Menehold where they tried to recapt-
lure trenches. The French also failed
in attacks west of Apremont. Here
the Germans are holding French
trenches. The situation on the east
ern front is unchanged although the
Germans are making progress south
of LODI. The British have been
trapped in the flooded lands near
Ypres and suffered heavy loss, The
Turks are still driving the Russians
back in the Caucasus. taking prison
ers and guns.
Russians Claim Success.
Petrograd. Dec. 30.-The Russians
say they are meeting with success in
the Caucasus and in the movement
from Warsaw to drive the German
Austrian troops back over the from
tier. The Austrians in Galicia have
been routed the Russians say. The
movement against Cracow has been
resumed.
Fight Slackens.
London. Dec. 30.-There has been
a slackening of the fighting in north
ern Poland between the Lower Wis.,
tula and Pilica rivers, where the Rus
SLAMS have captured some German
trenches, prisoners and guns--an IN,
ldication, il il believed here, that the
German frontal attack on the army
ig1arding Warsaw has been definitely
Ichecked.
In southern Poland the Russians
also record some successes, while in
| Galicia they have apparently iniict
| ed q defeat on the Austrlans almost
as serious as that which Emperor
Francis troops suffered in Servia.
Since their latest offensive com
menced the Russians have taken So
loco Austrian prisoners and captured
many guns, according to the Russian
official reports, and if, as was esti
mated, Austria had between three
and four army corps on its reentry
| into GaliCia, ii must nave lost more
than a third of the number in killed
wounded and prisoners. The state
of the roads. which are feet deep In
mud, has prevented the Russians
from making the pursuit as effective
as it might have done could the Cos
sacks have found a firm footing for
their horses.
