ports say that an impression has gone
abroad in the state. foste~ed and spread
by persons who. no doubt. wish either
to discredit the public service commits
sion or the investigation Of the coal
price situation in the state which the
commission is making. that the public
service commission has power TO take
over coal mines in Indiana and operate
them or to regulate the prices which
coal mine operators shall charge for
their product.
There is no law in the state under
which the commission could do any
thing of the kind. It has no power or
authority over coal mines. nor has II
any power or authority to fix coal
prices. The commission has nothing
whatever to do with coal mines or coal
prices. unless II might happen that the
commission could influence coal prices
BY compelling railroads to supply cars
and move coal from the mines TO the
consumers more rapidly.
The fact is that there is not, under

NEW YORK. May 23.-Something
like 145 square miles of French terri
tory regained: more than so. 900 pris-
oners taken; from 5000 to 100000 Kill
led and stoppage of all plans for a
German western front offensive have
been the results achieved to date in
the great Franco-British offensive.
The figures are purely estimates.
Neither the allies or Germans have is
sued casualty lists for this lighting. The
front is so irregular that tits difficult
from the invader. But the defeat OF
.~Hindenberg's plans for the summers
fighting have beer achieved beyond all
doubt.
The strategy OF the famous linden
burg retreat was 10 force the British
and french to make their much-ad-
vertised spring offensive over ground
chosen by the German commander and
against positions defensively prepar
ed in advance.
Hindenburg selected the last few
days of winter as the time in which to
make his retreat, figuring it was too
early for the spring offensive to begin.
and that the spring thaws would come
at a time when movement Of pursu-
ing troops woul he most difficult.
However, in order to hamper pursuit.
he laid waste 10 every inch of ground.
At least three supplementary defense
lines to the Hindenburg line were
spread over this ground released TO

HAS So FAR ACCOMPLISHED

the French and British. The Germans
inquired these lines would check all ad-
Nances and permit withdrawal with a
minimum CO German losses to the Hin
denburg line. Once entrenched along
the Hindenburg line, the Germans plan
ned q spring offensive of their own on
some other front, confident in the Inn
p~reSnability OF this iong-prepaxed line
against the Franco-British orensives.
But the French and British pursuit
was far more speedy than the Ger
mans had counted upon. Not only did
the allies quickly swarm over the first
preliminary German defense lines. but
they speeded up and started their
spring offensive several weeks ahead
of time. Moreover. instead of direct
ing their attacks at the pivots to the
north and south on which Hindenburg
had swung his retreat.
The British turned the northern point
on his Hindenburg line by capture OF
Fresnoy. Gavrelle and Oppy. To the
south. the French crumbled 1t away
around Cerny and Caronne. It is
around these northern and southern
points that the hghting is OF hercest
intensity today.
The H~indenburg line Is supposed to
start somewhere a b-outDrocourt, which
lies midway between Lens and pouai.
A so-called "switch-line' presumably
long prepared. connects Drocourt with
the old German line around Lens.
From Drocourt the Hindenburg line
swings through Bots Bernard. TO Fres-
noy. then south TO Oppy. through Ga
~vrelle. Roeux. Pelves. Boiry-Notre
Dame. Remy, Hendecourt. Riencourt
and to Oueant.
This section OF the Hindenburg line
has been dubbed the "wotan line" by
the Germans. after the Morse supreme
God. The Wotan line is protected by
the so-called Oppy line-a preliminary
defense front between Oppy. Gavrelle
and Reoux. 1t has been penetrated at
these three points by the British.
From Queant. the Hinaenburg line
runs through Beaumetz. Villers. Heu-
dicourt, Roisel. Vermsnd. st. Quentin.

across the Aisne and down to a point
north OF Rheims.
This section. from the Quesnt south.
has been called the "siegfried line by
the Germans-after the Wagnerian
hero. 1t has been penetrated at era
onne and near Rheims by the French.

in such g case it would be necessary to
prove one or more of the facts that
