II A series of great battles. the re-
suit of which will seal the fate of
Warsaw, is being fought to the north
west and south Of that city. Having
successfully retired to positions on the
rivers ana being well flankcd by
fortresses, the Russians have turned
and are fighting desperately to stem
the Austro-German Onslaughts.
North on the River Narew they de
liNered three fierce Counterattacks
yesterday from the fortresses of
Rozan, PultuZk and Novogeorgievsk.
The Germans, who had taken one out
works of Ro2an, repulsed three coun-
terattacks according to Berlin, but
apparently have been unable to
progress further southwark.
Immediately west Of Warsaw on
what Is known as the Blouie-Groj

Nistula. Further south the army of
General Won Woyrich is making

NKLAHOMA CITY, July 21.-
~ Weight and speed Of locomotives
as factors in determining the appor-
tonment of values for freight and
passenger trains over the lines of the
Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific rail-
way in Oklahoma, was the principal
point at issue brought out in the
cross examination of A. Hermany, eX-
pert accountant of that road. in the
railroad rate hearing before Judge
Frank A. YOumans in the United
States district court Wednesday.
In connection with this Mr.. Her
many read from some notes which he
explained had been made for his own
personal use. A part of these notes
follow:
81 know of no proof that the engine
ton-mile basis is correct or, for that
matter, an incorrect basis but | be-
l!eve a reasonable basis and one that
will give substantially correct re-
suits.
THE weight Of the train and the
speed of the train are what wear the
track, and what determine, so far as
that goes, the required solidity Of the
roadbed and strenth Of the ties
rails, fastenings and bridges"
He admitted that this might be in
error and stated that in his private
opinion the revenue tOn-mile would
he a better basis for estimation Of
values in some instances than the en-
gine ton-mile.
Admitting this to be true the wit
ness was asked if such an error might
not have a bearing on millions Of
collars in valuation. He replied that
he hardly thought it would affect the
valuations to that extent, but that a
miscalculation would doubtless affect
all subsequent calculations where
great or small.

talked to Keppler that he knew any
think of any settlement. He added that
the vice president had told him
nothing; that the strike would 90 on

there was a possibility that nego-
titions in progress might at any time

Slight Disorders.
Slight disorders marked the walk

suited from a demonstration by strik-
ers in front of the Union Metallic

vicinity by strikers who had walked
out at noon. The demonstrations were

 The crisis in Greece seems tempor- arily to have been bridged by the for nation of a new cabinet, but whether the new premier will have the ability to control the chamber of deputies is a matter of much speculation.
 Though officially denied, reports in sist that a ministerial crisis has arisen in Bulgaria, where the premier favor ing intervention, was opposed by King Ferdinand It is said the Bull garian prime minister stepped from office at the same time that Greece's leading statesman retired.
 Bombards Turkish Forts.
 Paris officially confirmed :oday what London heard unofficially last night, namely, that the superdread- nought Queen Elizabeth slipped into the Dardanelles proper on Monday and bombarded the Turkish forts, an- other one of which, on the European side, has been partly demolished.
 Correspondents at Petrograd of English newspapers say that the Ger man failure to reduce the Russian fortress of Ossowetz, together with the reported German defeat at Grod- no and Przasnysz, mean the definite abandonm ment of the German offensive in north Poland, thus making, in the opinion of these correspondents Field Marshal Von Hindenburg's rush oyer the frontier another costly failure.

 The regulation of railroads, MT. Underwood said, should take into con- slderation the interests, not only of the railroads themselves, and those di- rectly interested as shippers, but of the entire country whose commercial prosperity is dependent upon adeouate shipping facilities.
 we have undertaken the problem or government regulation of rail- roads, he continued, 'and the gov ernment will not turn back. Regula- tlon or pra ctices and rates is here and here to stay. But let us stand for wise and just regulation and not for ill-considered and dangerous reg ulatlon. We must regulate so as to en- sure all necessary railroad facilities both for the present and for the flu ture. As the public in the end must pay the bill, it is primarily interested in the railroads. securing the money needed for their maintenance and de- velopment at reasonable rates hnd equally interested in seeing that it is wisely expended. .....f. .....

 Revolutions never move backward. If governmental regulations are un- able to cope with the vexed problem that confronts us, the people will ac cept government ownership as the next step ahead.

 Tt cannot be denied that public control has reduced the rates charged for transportation and abolished un- just discriminations given to favored shippers But the greater problem remains unsolved. Can the money be provided to expand and develop these great public works in manner com mensurate with the expanding needs of our commerce under the present system of public control?

 Miss Waterbury was not present. but sent to the dead girls parents, with her flowers, the following mes sage:
 My heartfelt sympathy and I re- gret that I can't attend Lilys funeral, but in view of the publicity that has been aroused. I feel that it would be, better for all concerned that I be absent. Believe me, I will be with you in spirit, though not in the flesh. Nothing can alter my opinion that Lily was always a good girl.

 Curious OnIookers Gather.
 Union street, where the parents of the dead girl live, was crowded while the funeral services were going on with many people who were curious. Extra policemen from the Butler street station had to be detailed to keep the block upon which the house stands as clear as possible. All morn ing hundreds hocked through the street.
 The dead girls sister, Laura Cook, who took a most active interest in the efforts to find her, was so badly overcome as the hour for the services drew near that she had to be at tended by physician. Mrs. Frank Cook, the dead girls mother, was also very near a breakdown and would see no one before or during the funeral
 Many Flowers Sent.
