They passed into small dining

moment their eyes met. Louise's lips
were family curled. 1t was almost as
IL challenge had passed between
them. Louise devoted her attention to
her guest.

She moved little uneasily in her

but he imagined that she glanced I'M

turned almost ostentatiously away
from her. He was leaning across the

BATTLE ON NEW LINE.

New York, March 23.-Both the
French and German announcements
say that violent fighting is in pro-
gress near st. Simon in the region
In which the Germans have been re-
treating. The French announce that
the German attack was repulsed. the
Germans being driven back three
miles northeast of st. Simon. The
Germans say they inflicted heavy loss
es on the French who tried to cross
the Somme-C Crozae canal near St.
Simon.
The initial phase Of the battle in
northern France has apparently turn
ed in favor Of the French since they
art reported to have crossed the AL
lette river and Crozat canal at sew
eral places. The Germans elected to
make their first stand along these wa
terways in defense Of Lafere, against
which Gen. Nivelle is rushing his
advance to break Gen. Won Hinden.
burg's line before it can be consoli-
dated. French refugees add evidence
to the accumulating proof that Gen.
Won Hindenburg intends to give bat
tie along the line from Lille to Laon.
The question is whether the entente
can bring up its heavy artillery quick
enough to strike a smashing blow be-
fore the Germans can consolidate
their new position.
New interest is attaching to the
campaign In western Persia and
MesOpotamia as the converging forces
of British and Russians approach each
other northeast of Bagdad. The Rus
slams report another advance and ap-
parently the two armies are now less
than one hundred miles apart.

Columbia, March 23.-Utmost cx.
pedition is to be used by the Harda-
way Contracting company Of Colum-
bus, Ca, in the construction of
100000 horsepower hydro-electric
generating station for the Southern
Power company at the point where
Wateree creek and Catawba river join
to form the Wateree river, even miles
above Camden and 80 miles northeast
Of Columbia. The plant is to be the
largest in the Duke system. The man.
agement announces that it is desired
to put the installation into use at
the very earliest possible moment,
to care for the increasing demands
for cheap power. The station is ex.
pected to begin delivering current late
next fall.
The Hardaway company is building
for the same interests big develop
ment at Bridgewater,/ near Morgan
ton, N. c., and has recently completed
for them a plant at Fishing creek in
York county. The station near Cam
den will be the seventh in the Duke
chain to derive power from the Ca
tawba- a-Wateree. The others are at
Great Falls, Fishing Creek, Rocky
Creek, Catawba, Lookout Shoals and
Bridgewater. The plant near Camden
Is to be known as the Wateree. About
$5,O00,000 altogether will be expend-
ed on the Watere development. The
Hardaway contract alone, based on
unit prices, will approximate $4,000
600. The Manufacturers Record
quotes an unnamed Authoritative"
source as follows:
This latest plan is to be by far
the largest ever erected by the South
ern Power company, Fishing Creek,
with a capacity Of 10000 electric
horsepower, being the nearest to it.
That it is of but 100000 electric
horsepower instead of being much
larger is attributable. it is said, to the
inability OF the company to secure
needed real estate at price which
would justify the additional expendi-
ture. It was planned to erect a much
larger plant than this. and all ar
rangements preliminary to the letting
OF the contract were completed to this
end, but the failure to obtain need
ed lands at reasonable price re-
suited In a material reduction in the
size of the plant"
