Washington Man Takes
Issue With The Times
As to Electric Rates
To the Editor OF THE TIMES,

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
MY attention has been called to the
news item In your issue OF January 4.
appearing on the 'front.' sheet under the
title OF Cost OF Range Puts Electrical
Cooking Beyond Most Users" and more
particularly to that portion OF your
article contained in the same issue on
Page .. Average Family's Cooking. {"
The information contained under this
caption, while highly instructive to the
average laymRn, is not in this case
authentic. AS representatives of the
Westinghouse Electric Company we
must take exception to the costs OF
electric ranges as described in your
article, !. e., $50. The 3-ls range OF
the nickel, full, automatic type, has a
list price OF $50, and Is subject to a very
liberal discount. This ranges compares
very favorably In dimensions and APP
pearances with ranges that might be
found in the most expensive type of
homes In this city, and. therefore. your
comparison Is not altogether a just one.
The electric range for the small home,
apartment house, etc, comparing fav-
orably with a like type OF gas range,
sells for approximately $50. and in JUS
tice to the electrical fraternity as well
as q. number OF your patrons, news
items of this character should be well
established as correct before publica-
ton.
Your comparison as to cost operation OF
the electric range versus the g8s range is
neither fair nor correct We have in
stallatons in this city that will prove
20 the contrary. You seem to be mis-
informed, or else lack a complete
knowledge of the operation of the West-
tnghouse automatic range; otherwise
your estimates OF current consumed
would be far more favorable to the
Westinghouse range.
In this office We have complete tech
nical data bearing on practically ali OF
the apparatus as manufactured by the
W estnghouse Company, and We wish
to assure you that at any time we will
be very glad to give you complete and
authentic data for the asking.
Yours very truly,
II. r. CARROLL, General Manager.

and that, inasmuch as cost OF produc-
ton figures are an accurate gauge only
where there Is a complete physical valu-
alton Of the companies properties avail
able, which there II not, the only sure
test remaining is whether the company
shows excessive earnings.
Measured by the standard of what
rate-goyerning bodies generally regard
as fair rate OF return, Il has been
shown that not only does the power
company receive from It's customers
enough to pay excessive dividends on
Its own stock, but that these dividends
are In turn paying handsome dividends
on the stock Of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company, which owns

Remarkable Results.
Of this relationship between these two
companies much OF a remarkable char
acter has been produced. In defense OF
this relationship, the two COMPANIES
have simply taken the position that n
exists by reason of contract, which
though radically altered to the sole
benefit Of the railway company, Is z
binding one, and not subject to review
by the Public Service Commission,
To say that a contract of this kind

to say that however much against the

there have been many court cases where
decisions have been passed on the prin-
ciple that no contract Is a binding or

LONDON, Jan. S.-Fierce fighting on
q twenty-mile front along the bend of
the River Styr is reported in dispatches
from both Petrograd and Vienna today.
The Russians are assailing the AUS
trian lines fifty miles east OF the i'm
portant railway town of Kovel, objec-
tive OF the Offensive in. Volhynia. Petro-
grad reported today that. after captuf-
ing the town Of Czartorysk the slavs
pressed on and captured a range Of hills
west Of the town. They are now assail-
ing the main heights barring the ad-
vance on Kovel.
KOveI Threatened.
The fighting in this region has tenn
porarily detracted attention from the
struggle northeast of Czernowitz and
along the Tarnopol- Trembowla line,
where nearly a million men with several
thousand guns are reported to be en-
gagged.
Thia is true mainly because the possi-
biities of an important military success
are greater in the offensive east of Ko-
gle.
Capture of Kovel by the Russians
would cut the railway supplying the
Austro-Germans in the fortresses of
Luak and Dubno, and threaten the en-
Helcpmont of the Germans around
Pink.
Attacks Are FerOciOus.
At Rafalovka and Kolki. the extreme
ends OF the battle front along the Styr
and west of Czarterysk, IN the center,
the heaviest fighting is proceeding.

No early decisive successes for the

The heavy Russian attacks will delay

German invasion of Greece by prevent

blan front is conveyed by Petrograd
dispatches. which state that the Rus

Kltns on the AustTians' positions at
Czernowitz as a preparation for an
infantry attack. The Russian Commune
nications do not vet say Czernowitz

A TEUTON vERDUN
Allies Center Attack on Vet.
Grams of Won KIuck.
Aisne Is Objective-British
Losses Are Small.
BY j. w. T. MASON.

New York. July 3.-Capture of
General Won Kluck's old army of the
Aisne is the immediate objective of
the Anglo-French offensive.
General Won K1uck has gone into
retirement, but Won Kluck's corner at
the southwestern curve of the western
battle front remains one of the major
defenses of the German holdings in
France.
To compel the evacuation of this
area under penalty of capture of Won
Kluck'S veterans, is the reason why
the allies have started their drive so
near to the Aisne. Won Kluck's cor
ner is the Verdun of the German west
ern front and the allies are trying to
duplicate, on a larger scale, the Ger
man offensive strategy at Verdun.
An advance of about twenty miles
to Saint Quintln will put the allies in
a position to dominate the principal
lines of communication on which the
German southwestern Aisne army re-
lies for its sustenance.
British Losses Small.
How long it will take to reach Saint
Qu1ntin depends primarily on the Brit
ish supply of artillery ammunition.
The gains of the British and French
since Saturday have been due to the
intensity OF the artillery fire. The Brit

been small, is unquestionably correct
The big guns of the allies devastated
the German first line trenches before
the infantry began to move forward
The hand to hand fighting that fol-
lowed was largely for the possession
or craters blown into the earth by
the allies artillery
NOW, however, the Allies are I'M
questionably facing new German en-
trenchments, fully as strong as those
captured during the past forty-eight
hours. 1t will be necessary to renew
the artillery attack, and when the sec
ond line of defenses is taken, a third
and fourth will remain to be blasted
away before the infantry can consoIi
date the gains. The British have been
boarding their ammunition for a year.
In this fact must lie the hope of the
Allies that the present drive will force
the Germans to retire from the Aisne

CONDEMN USE OF BIBLE

wildwood, N. J.. July 3.-The read

American and an unwise alliance of
church and state at the meeting of
the Central conference of American
Rabbits here.
The sessions were devoted to read
ing of the report of Rabbi Woolsey of
Cleveland.
1.-The problem is one of concern to
people of all denominations" declared
Rabbi Woolsey. He recounted the eff
forts made by Christian clergy to have
religious services conducted in the
public schools and said:
1.-The Jew has looked upon this with
a complacency that BODIES no good for
the Jew or for Americas vast school
population. We simply have resisted
sectarian efforts and with a word

have resisted has become a reality
