No Change in Position.

This was the position of the com
mission at the time former Engineer
Commissioners Harding was chairman
of that body. Engineer Commissioner
Kutz. the present chairman. said to-
day that the commissions position
remained the same. The universal
transfer question, he said, is a rate
question and cannot be settled until
after the valuations have been com :
pleted.

companies agree with the public utili-

S. r. Bowen, secretary of the Wash

LONDON. November 16.-Fighting In
the Somme region of northern France
shows little diminuton in intensity, with
attack and counter attack following
swiftly
The British advance in the Ancre re-
gion seems to have halted. London an
nounces only artillery activity during the
night. Berlin, however, reports heavy at
tacls by the British yesterday. notably
the one on the village of Grandcourt.
which is declared to have broken down.
Attacks on Germans on the road from
Mailly to Sene also are said to have
failed.
The successes against the French scor-
ed by the. Germans north of the Somme
yesterday are reported by Berlin today.
They consisted, according to the state
ment. in the capture, in house to- house
fighting, of the eastern section of the
village of Saillisel, where the French
were me4lacing the German positions in
the st. Pierre-Vaast wood, and of French
trenches on the northern edge of this
wood
For their part, the French reacted
against the Germans south of the Somme,
near Chaulne where a German counter
attack was announced yesterday to have
wrested part of the village of Pressoire
from French possession. The French re-
captured this ground last night Paris
announces in today's official bulletin.
Describes Recent Fighting.
In describing the most recent fighting,
Paris says:
South of the Somme We made an at
tack during the night against the eastern
portion of Pressoire, which had been oc-
cupied by the enemy. Here the French
troops had resisted with admirable
energy. Thanks to this tenacity. coupled
with the determination of our troops.
We drove the Germans from the village.
At the end of a ferocious fight. under a
bombardment of extreme violence, Pres
soire is now entirely in our possession.
and our gains Of November have been
in all respects maintained.
According to recent information. the

part in this attack forces belonging to
three different division. suffered very
heavy losses as result OF the serious
check We put upon him.

Interprets Law Differently.

The commissions Interpretation of
this law does not agree with that of
the federation. 1t points out that the
law does not state that free reciprocal
transfers shall be issued between the
lines of the traction companies.
The commission first stated its posi-
ton in the matter June ~, 1914, IN
letter to Charles w. Darr, chairman of
the citizens conference on public utlll-
ties. 1t then said:
THE commission finds no law on the
statute books requiring universal free
transfers, and under the authority and
responsibility conferred by it's organic
act to enforce all existing laws :he
commission is therefore unable to re-
quire the street railway companies to
issue free transfers.
The commission is clearly of the
opinion, however, that under the gem
eral authority granted by it's organic
act it has power to require the iSsu-
ance of free transfers, provided it bases
such an order on equitable grounds.
The commission does not feel t at it
has sufficient knowledge of the equi-
ties of the case until the condition of
the street railway companies is thor
oughly known. which will be the case
as a result of the valuation of their
properties now being made under the
provisions of the urgent deficiency act,
approved April 6, 1914.

by officials of the educational system

This new angle presents another Sc
rious phase which has already kept
the officials worried. Hard coal costs
nearly twice as much as soft coal, and
the finances of the schools already are
low
because of the difficulties of getting
sufficient coal the entire school system
has been threatened for several weeks
with a fuel famine. No one has been
able to state just how serious this
might become. but it is known that in
the event of a prolonged cold snap a
large number of buildings would have
to close within a week.
Now. however, the schools face not
only the danger of not being able to
get coal. but also the danger that, if
they do get it. within short time they
will be unable to pay for it, because of
