London. May 27-The Austrians
and Germans continue to batter at
the Russian lines to the northeast
and southeast of Przemysl, and ac-
cording to reports that have not been
confirmed by official statements,
they have severed communications
between the former Austrian fortress
and Lemberg.
II these reports are true, Przemysl
which less than three months ago
was taken by the Russians after a
long siege, is again surrounded 1t
would appear. however, that while
the Teutonic allies are pressing hard
on the fortress they have not yet
forged the circle, the completion of
which is being stubbornly opposed by
the Russians.
The Germans have forced another
crossing of the River San eleven
miles north of Przemysl and have ex-
tended by several miles the zone
held by them east of the San To the
southeast they also claim TO have
broken the Russian lines and to have
taken some important positions.
Despite all these claims Petrograd
announces with the greatest optim-
ism the belief that the Russian rein
forcements will be able to stem the
Austro-German onslaught
Vienna, (via London) May 27-
Isolation of the former Austrian fort
ress of Przemysl. in Galicia, which
has been in the hands of the Rus
slams since March %. is proceeding
rapidly
Austrian forces have reached the
railroad between Lemberg and
Przemysl at point eighteen miles
east of Przemysl
The Whtsuntide victory for the
Austrians at Radymno, to the north
OF Przemysl, drove the Russians from
the strong position which they held
to the west of the San River and froc
ed them to fall back across the riy-
er, under heavy artillery fire. which
is described by eye-witnesses as cat
astroDhal. The retiring troops on at
tempting to gain bridges and forts
were swept by shrapnel ana high ex-
piosiye shells from new six.inch NOR
tars. and lost heavily.
The morale of the Russian forces,
which were composed largely of re-
centely organized reserves, has been
severely shaken Austrian military
observers say, and this is declared
to account for the large number of
Russian guns captured,

learn that the preliminary note
will not contain Germany's definite
answer, but will be exclusively a
statement of the facts in the sever
al cases involved as the Germans
see them, with a courteous request
to. the American government to con-
firm their accuracy in order to reach
full agreement on the basic facts,
which, in the Lusitania case, will
probably include the important point,
alleged by Germany, that she was an
auxiliary cruiser and that her cargo
included arms and ammunitions, pos
sibly also that the Lusitania was
armed.
A high official of the Foreign office
told me the idea was first to get all
the facts straight so as to avoid the
possibility of Germany and America
engaging in tssdiseussicns in which
they might use their cases on facts
which were at variance in other
words, to get together on a sound
working basis.
Germany's fun and definite answer
will follow promptly on receipt of
advices that the American Govern
ment finds thefaets as stated by Ger
many to be correct.

GO to the VERY Bottom,

West Virginia press and people
clanored long and loud for a state
public service commission and one
was finally created. The press and
people wanted such a body for tho
purpose Of seeing that proper service
ts given by public utilities at reason
able charges. The people intended
that such commission should protect
them. It was evidently their object
that such commission placc every pos
sible safeguard around their inter-
ests. Therefore, It is readily seen
that the interests Of the people in
ali matters coming before the COM
mission are very properly para
mount. i. 4
In the case OF the Clarksburg Light
and Heat Company, which has applied
for permission to increase Its gas
rates almost fifty per cent, the inter
ests OF the people stand out clear as
the main issue. The past, present
and future are proper fundamentals
to be taken into consideration. These
fundamentals relate to both finances
and ability to give service. A Just
return on investment and work is all
the state should permit the company,
or any other public utility, to make.
II juicy melons have been cut in the
past, or are ready to be cut now the
commission should know that fact
and take. the same into the reckoning.
Its power should be retroactive In
this respect, and It the company bus
mess has built up fortunes for its
stockholders at tho peopls's expense,
1t should be made to account for the
same and make due. return. Such
condition, If It has existed or now
exists, and the Telegram confesses its
ignorance In this respect, should have
due weight as to what action to take,
n past and present conditions are
shown as highly profitable. the com;
mission naturally will hesitate to con-
clude that there has been q sudden
revolution in conditions and that 9
dire future impends for the company.
No one denies that the light and
heat company Is entitled to and
should have fair and just pay for Its
service as well as reasonable remun-
GRAFTON for investment and risk and
the commission will doubtless keep
that in mind. At the same time the
interests of the people cannot be ov-
erlooked with Justice to all In view.
There should be mutual relation
between the company and the con.
sunlers. The latter shstaia the for
iaer. They create tho demand and
the company furnishes supply. The
public .inows what the pe2rle paw.
There is 40 secret ab sIt TINT Why
should the public not know whether
any Of its pay to the company re-
solves itself into juicy melons to be
divided among the stockholders?
In,leed, to arrive at Just and
right decision, it seems that every
thing connected with this public uttl.
ity must be laid bare before the com.
mission. The commission cannot act
for the best. If it does not know all.
