Acting Secretary of State
Takes Up Deutschland Status
With the Neutrality Board

Reports of customs and navy officers
on the character OF the German sub
marine merchantmen Deutschland were
the subject of long conference at the
State Department today between Act
ing Secretary Polk and members Of the
governments neutrality board, called
in to give informal advice. The de-
partments final decision on the status
of the submarine probably will be an
''"''"cnd after tomorrow's cabinet
meeting.
capt. Hughes of the navy and Collector
Ryan and Surveyor Steele of the Balti-
more customs, all Of whom examined the
vessel. have reported unanimously that
she Is an unarmed freight carrier.
Government officials generally are salts
fed that no legitimate objection can be
raised against granting all the privileges
Of a peaceful merchant craft to the
Deutschland. Every precaution is being
taken, however, to see that no room is
left for questioning the neutrality of the
United States, particularly in view of the
representations made by the British and
French embassies claiming that the SUBJ
marine Is a potential warship, regardless
of whether she is armed or fitted for con-
version into a commerce raider.

the electric power company except by
the express grant by Congress of power
SO to do, and that this grant had not
only not been made, but had been di-
rectly withheld. He quoted several de-
cisions of the Supreme Court of the
United states to sustain this position
and quoted literally from the act itself.
and the reports of the decisions of
Congress when it was adopted. He also
showed that Congress had by Iegisla-
ton prior to and subsequent to this
act expressly reserved its right to reg
ulate the rates for electric service and
had now delegated this regulatory
power to the commission.
Mr.. Syme then took the position that
no Quasi-public corporation could by
any contract or obligation entered
into with another, deprive the Iegis-
lative authority of its right to estab-
lfsh reasonable rates and reasonabI
service. and that what was reasonab bile
as to both rates and service depended
upon fair valuation of the property
OF the public utility supplying the
service, and compelled by the public
utilities law to charge only reasonable
and non-discrimfnatory rates.
He said that If contracts between
corporations could be given the effect
insisted, upon by the attorney for the
railroad company. every public utility
corporation would have within its
power the right to defeat the rate
making power Of the commission.

GO ABOUT JOB METHODICALLY

extensive attack on either side today,

forward new trenches into Contal-

age of two or three hundred yards from
the German second line, which is not
as strong as the first line, taken July
I, and which is being shelled method
fcally night and day.
The Trones wood and certain other
points peculiarly illustrate the power

No Rest on Front Line,
Troops on the front line engaged in

brought out under cover of the smoke

and act as If the affair were not one of

the German got into US there, and we

of their confidence is notable as the

I'VE expect the arrival Of the Deutsch-

talks with a battalion commander fresh
from the field. An officer, who already
had won the Victoria cross at Gallipoli,
crossed an open space in the face Of
machine gun fire with two men, bomb
ed out a bombing post protecting guns
and captured it without being hit, but
was killed when he attempted to ven-
ture a second time.
Successful strategy was responsible
for the taking of both Contamination
and the Mametz wood. The final TAX
ing of Contamination was accomplished
with few casualties, and the victorious
troops when seen today were in tri-
umphant spirits. The Germans faced
their machine guns as If expecting the
attack from the south, but, keeping
close under protecting curtains of fire,
the British waves swept across "A thou

fore the battle the men had to force a
passage through it by pulling the
branches to one side. The explosion
or shells in this as in the Trones and
other woods, which have been SO
nercely contested, caused showers of
fragments Of limbs to fall on the
troops. Machine gun bullets passed
through trees of small diameter.
The last forty yards of the Mametz
wood were the hardest to take because
OF the fallen trunks and limbs Of trees
which formed a natural barricade. In
some cases snipers posted in a tree
were brought down when big shell
felled the tree. Some of the German
wounded were pinned to the ground
under the fallen trunks of trees and
were removed with difficulty. The
