ALLIES DRIVE IN WEST.

London.-Terrlnc fighting on an
extensive front in Belgium and France
has featured the war news
The French and British have made
new drive to Offset the Russian re.
verses in Galicia, and, after winning
a miles of ground the British have
been forced to abandon it in a series
OF desperate counter attacks by the
Germans near Festubert.
In a sharp attack north Of Hooge.
near Ypres, the British occupied the
whole OF the first line of German
trenches for distance of 1000 yards
and parts OF the German second line
of trenches. Counter attacks to re-
take the captured ground were re-
pulsed with big losses
The Germans admit they have lost
territory in hard fighting near Ypres,
but do not concede they were forced,
even temporarily, to yield mile of
their Festubert stronghold, which has
been the scene of some Of the most
savage conflicts witnessed on the
western front of the war.
me Germans say they captured
several machine guns and bomb
throwers in the assaults at Festubert,
and that the British left many dead
and wounded on the field after sharp
hand-tO-hand fighting.
The French are gaining ground in
the region OF Arras and in the Vosges
on both banks of the Fecht River,
where several hundred prisoners, to-
gether with a large quantity Of rifles
and cartridges, were taken.
Rheims has again been heavily bonn
barded. and the French report that
about a dozen shells fell on the IA
nous cathedral. German aeroplanes
have dropped bombs on Nancy, st.
Die and Belfort.

Licenses Due For a Year.

Although the new revenue act
passed at the recent special session Of
the Legislature will not become effec-
tive until August, by virtue of its pro-
visions it is retroactive in character,
and the corporations doing business
in West Virginia are liable to an addi-
tional charter license tax provided in
the measure. in the opinion of Attor-
ney General A. A. Lilly. The opinion
was rendered by the attorney general
in response to an inquiry from State
Auditor Darst, who is charged with
the collection of the additional tax,
and who desired an Interpretation of
this particular feature of the revenue
bill. Although the opinion does not
cover the section of the new act re-
lating to the laying of a fourteen-cent
levy, it is believed that the same prin-
ciple is involved in this case and that
1t will be possible for the board of
public works to lay the maximum di-
rect levy.

emf ORCEMENT OF
COURTS DECREE
IN THE VlRGiNIA-WEST VIRGINIA
DEBT CASE is EXPECTED
AT WASHINGTON.
THE METHOD is NOT KNOWN
Reputation Talk May Be Affective
Appointment of Receiver Seri-
ously Discussed.

Especial Charleston Correspondence
Reports that reputation of the $t2,-
100000 debt, fastened upon the state
by the supreme Court of the United
States. is being considered are not re-
garded seriously in Washington.
There is a settled conviction among
those who have followed the Virginia
West Virginia debt case closely that
the supreme court would not have as
serted its jurisdiction in the first place
had it not intended to enforce it's de-
cree. The excitement which the de-
cision caused in West Virginia has
been paralleled to degree, and atten-
ton is being given to the attitude of
the supreme court toward controver-
sizes between states in past years How
the supreme court will enforce it's de-
cree is not known. The appointment
of a receiver is discussed seriously
and as a practical proposition. Holmes
Conrad, of counsel for Virginia, filed
with the clerk OF the supreme court,
as stated, when the decision was re-
ported. motion for the appointment
of receiver to demand, receive and
give acquittance for the money that
may be paid over by the state of West
Virginia. Conrad, in filing that appli-
cation, which is yet to be presented
to the court, replied, it is understood,
upon the case of South Dakota against
North Carolina in which the supreme
court asserted it's authority to deter
mine property dispute between two
states
In addition to that case however,
attorneys for the interests which hope
to collect the money which West Vir-
ginia owes are relying upon two fea-
lures of the present case. Clark May,
former attorney general for West vlr-
ginia, once asked the suprem court, in
the early stages of the litigation, how
1t would enforce a judgment, pre-
Stunning one would be rendered against
the state. A member OF the court re-
piled, with some irritation, that the
court would find a way to enforce its
ginia, once asked the supreme court, in
entertained in quarters familiar with
the reasoning processes of the court
that jurisdiction, to which West Vir-
ginia demurred, would not have been
asserted in the present case had not
the court felt empowered to carry to a
conclusion any judgment it might
render.

Predicts No Gas in is Years.

Little progress was made in the
hearing of the appeal of the Manufac-
turers' Light and Heat CO., of Pitts
6urgh, from the decision of the West
Virginia Public Service Commission
decreasing its rates. T. o. Sullivan,
general manager of the company, was
the only witness heard. Examination
of the witness was delayed by obvec-
tons from counsel. Mr.. Sullivan's
testimony related to the operations OF
the company's plants; quantity of gas
controlled by the company and an ex-
PLANTATION of the pipe lines in Ohio,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Tes-
timony relative to the quantity of gas
produced in West Virginia was OBJ
1ected to by counsel for the commits
sion on the ground that the year men,
toned was not under question in the
case. After much argument ]. w.
Nandervoert, the special master, ruled
that the testimony would be admitted
and the point argued later. Mr.. Sui
hvan said that in 1914 his company
produced 6,919, $4,000 cubic feet of
gas in West Virginia or 1859 per cent
OF its total production In his opin-
ion, he said, the present supply would
be exhausted in from ten to fifteen
years

Based on the risks written and pre-
miums collected life and fire insur-
ance companies operating in West

KAISER'S MEN ABANDON TRENCHES NEAR LoRErTE

London.-The French and British
armies pushed their offensive move
ment in the western arena of the
war and battles marked by much
hand-to-hand fighting were fought in
the Arras sector and at the northern
and southern ends of the British line.
The official reports indicate that
the encounter is as desperate as any
yet witnessed in the western zone OF
hostilities
The British say they have held the
first line trenches captured by them.
but have been compelled to abandon
the second line of intrenchments
wrested from the Germans.
Berlin reports that a British force
which attempted to break through the
German lines north of va Bassee
Canal was destroyed. with the excep-
ton of small number who succeeded
in retreating.
The Germans admit that the French
have penetrated their lines east of
Angres. south of Souchez and north
of Ecurie. North OF the Lorette hills
the Kaiser's forces have abandoned a
section of trenches.
The Germans, with a preponderance
OF machine guns, at each loss of
ground begin counter-attacks.
All the advances have been costly
in lives and the gains have been CON-
paratively small as measured in dis
lance
Military observers say it is too
early to decide whether the Franco
British drive is an attempt to crumple
back the whole German line, but the
offensive is being carried out with
greater determination than has been
shown in any recent advance.
In Alsace the French have fortified
the positions captured by them and
their troops have reached the out
skirts of Metzeral.

The Cincinnati authorities have been

the question as to whether they are

Paris.-Continued advances by the
Austro-German forces in Galicia led
to the belief that this great drive
is being pushed so that, with the Rus

invaders then would dig themselves in

peril Mosciska lies about twenty
miles east of Przemysl, and is almost
in a direct line with the Galician CAPT
tai, against which all the energies Of
General Won Mackensen. the German
commander, are being directed.
All the Russian attacks and coun-
ter-attacks are said to have been re
pulsed, and gains for the Austro-Ger-
mans north of Przemysl into Bessa-
rabia have been made.
General Won Mackensen has tele-
graphed the German Emperor that he
hopes to capture Lemberg before July
1. according to dispatch to London
from Amsterdam.
But Notwithstanding this optimistic
view there are still many obstacles in
the way of victory to the Austro-Ger-
man arms in the Przenysl-Lemberp
sector of Galicia, for the Russians hold
strongly fortified positions many
miles in front of Lemberg and will
in addition. have the advantage OF
natural defenses of the country round
about. including a chain of lakes and
marshes.
All along the Gaiician front heavy
fighting is in progress. and the Austro
