As to Power Rates.

Elk River, Mimi, April z, 1917.
To the Editor Of the Princeton Union:
The undersigned visited Princeton,
Minnesota, Friday, May 4th, in the in
terest of the Power and Light Com
pany, of Elk River, who have made a
proposition to buy the electric lighting
system and furnish current from the
Elk River plant, and finds that the ma
jority Of the citizens of Princeton do
not understand the matter Of rates for
lighting as furnished by the Elk River
Power & Light Company. and so as to
clear this matter thoroughly in the
minds of the consumers in Princeton,
I have taken the liberty of making
few illustrations of paid light bills in
Princeton.
!. I have in my possession number of
light bills, which the citizens allowed
me to take, that have been paid Water,
Light, Power and Building commits
sion and propose to take these same
bills and apply the rates as proposed
in the Elk River Power & Light Com
pany proposition and show the actual
difference in dollars and cents on the.
same bills which the citizens Of Prince
ton would enjoy if Mr.. Waterman's
proposition is accepted.
Mr.. T. H. Caley's bill for December.

Capture Village From British
After Hard Fighting.
FORCE CANADIANS! A TO YIELD

Five Days Of Severe Battling Results
in Gain by Teutons After Paying a
Terrible Price-Beriin Reports Cap.
ture Of TWO Hundred Prisoners and
Six Machine Guns.
London, May 9.-After five days of
extraordinarily hard fighting between
the Canadians and the Germans the
little village of Fresnoy, lying south
east Of Lens, and the adjacent wood
are again in German hands.
In the retaking Of these positions,
where the Canadians have for days
held the most advanced salient in the
British line projecting toward Douai,
the Germans evidently paid a terrible
price. ~
Preceded by a heavy artillery fire,
in which asphyxiating gas shells were
used in large numbers, the counter at
tack was launched in the early morn
ing.
The machine gun and rifle fire of
the defenders met the Germans as
they threw themselves forward, but
they would not be denied and finally
penetrated the trenches northeast of
the village and even entered the out
skirts of the village itself.
Their tenure of the position, how
ever, was short lived, for the Cana
dams soon afterward returned to the.
fray, drove out the Germans and
again held full sway. -.
Strong Reinforcements Arrive.
Reforming later and reinforced by
two fresh divisions the Germans again
made bid for victory along the en-
tire front before the village and wood.
The right wing of the defenders held
steadfastly and inflicted heavy, losses
on the Germans. The left wing, how
ever, was compelled to give ground
and to evacuate the village and wood,
leaving them in the hands of the Ger
mans. -. Is.
= Berlin reports 200 prisoners and six
machine guns fell into the hands of
the Germans.
There has been continuation of
the violent fighting southwark in the
Bullecourt and Reoux sectors, but no
notable changes in positions have
been reported. - -
The artillery activity along the en-
tire Macedonian front continues VIC
lent, indicating possibly the near ap-
proach Of a general offensive.
Small engagements between entente
forces and Austrian and Turkish
troops between Lake Schrida and
Lake Presba and between entente and
Teutonic allied troops along the Cerna
are reported

Three Shots Fired at Emperor While

Rome, May 9.-Kaiser William had
a narrow escape from an assassin's
bullet while motoring to Berlin, Zu-

An unidentified man fired three
shots at the kaiser's car, two of them
striking the tonneau, the third going
wild. He was arrested =,
When the kaiser is at the front he
lives in a bombproof house. Circum-

Stockholm, June 2e.-Russian re-
ports are alarming. M. Kerensky,
minister Of war. says the government
will be obliged to go. Prince Albert
Radziwill. who has spent ten years in
Poles n Russians here possess In
formation leading them to confirm
Kerensky's statement.
Radziwill adds: 1.-The governments
retirement seems inevitable. and after
that, I sec nothing for the immediate
future but the red shirt"
kerensky Is confined to his bed, and
his kidney ailment increases. A strong
force Of troops surrounds his home,
and an attempt to assassinate him Is
rumored.
Kerensky's demand that the Rus
sian soldiers swear to obey all his
commands. even to firing on rebel
lious comrades. has hurt his popular
tty and has increased the assertions
and created bitterness. Siberian
czarists are attempting to raise their
heads.
Expert military opinion here is that
Russia's present paciism is affecting
the offensive operations on every
front. and every military prospect.
SO far as Russia can affect them, is
more uncertain than ever.
War Industry Restoration Urged.
Frequent change of generals is con-
sidered a sign of the Russian general
Stairs distrust Of the present army or

traffic must be restored before any
thing decisive a be done. They de-
clare this will require four months.

able statement on the "Mongolizing Of
Russia" declaring Russia's supreme
peril Is growing out Of the intermar-
riage of Slavic and Asian stocks In
vast districts, and that it is true the
Russian Is fading.
Objections to Intermazriage.
Ojoen finds the principal result Of
this intermarriage is:
First. destruction Of the balance Of
self-control and the power to take the
Initiative.
Second, the development Of cruelty
and destructive tendencies, and a pas
sion to drink and lie.
resist sickness, but with this comes a
capacity to suffer which might be
called stoicism X 1t were not founded
on indifference and lethargy.
The result is a race comparable to
the Laplanders. long known as "Sor-

ucation Is the only hope of saving
Russia from Mongolization.
