Cars Troops Between Lupkow
and Uzsok Passes Drive
Austrians Backward.
SEIZE LINE INTO HUNGARY
Remnants of Franz Josef's
Forces in Bessarabia May
Be Driven Into Roumania.

PETROGRAD, April BY almost su-
perhuman efforts, the Russians between
the Lupkow and Uzsok passes have
driven the Austrians backward upon the
heights and have seized the railway
leading through VIOLA Michova and Lup-
kow southwark into Hungary, according
to dispatches received here today.
The fighting was particularly bitter
near Vola Michova. where the Austrians
held strong positions in the heights, pro-
tected by rows of trenches on the hill
sides and wire entanglements. To the
east of VIOLA Michova, an Austro-Ger-
man force Ia being pressed backward
in the direction of the UZsok.
The Lupkow- Uzsok region is now the
scene Of the most desperate fighting
South Of the Dukla. where the Russians
have entrenched in. the foothills, the
Austrians have abandoned their attacks
Both sides. apparently, are awaiting the
result of the great combat for possess
sion of the LupkoW and IIZsok passes.
The remnant of the Austrian force
that invaded Russian Bessarahia, north
Of Bukowina, is being forced back upon
the Roumanian border, part of the
Austrians having been annihilated.
There is every prospect that the re-
treating Austrians will be forced to
cross into Roumania and be interned
for the remainder of the war

the public should pay return and
therefore not a thing to capitalize in
rate-making valuations. Such a capi-
talization would have the inconsistent
result Of charging customers higher
rates because of their patronage"
In detrmining the valuation OF the
properties OF the Washington and Mary
land railway the commission finds that
the amount of money expended In tho
constructions and equipment of the util-
ity was $119,55773, and that the re-
production cost is $61,3s1.32.
The records of the utility" the COM
mission states. were found to be very
incomplete both as to cost Of construc-
ton and cost OF maintenance and opera
tion, and, therefore, the information de-
rived from these sources cannot be
given much weight. Many of the origi-
nal expenditures were wasted invest
mentS.
They were made for installation, parts
of which were in use for a short time
only and then abandoned. and other
parts of which were not in service for
considerable lengths Of time and we're
not maintained. Most Of the installa-
tions now actually used and useful for
the convenience of the public have re-

PARIS, April 2.-French attempts

popular acclaim a standard as
high as that of any band of en-
