GAS COMPANY GETS
RAISE Of RATES
IN IOWA FALLS

Iowa Falls, Iowa, July 29.-Judge
Reed of the federal court has ruled
that the Iowa Gas Co. may charge 81
per thousand feet for gas supplied
consumers in this city.
This decision hassjus been made
by the court in the case Of the Iowa
Falls Electric Co., which owns the
gas plant here, VS.. the city of Iowa
Falls, in which the public utility com
pany seeks an advance in gas, elec-
trio and--heating rates. The subject
of the latter two will come up We'd
nesday, the city having asked for a
continuance OF the case until then to
consider evidence submitted by the
company upon which to base its de-
mands for higher rates. In the gas
the company asked for
a rate of S2.40 and the city was will
ling to grant rate of $3.50. The
rate under which the company has
been operating is $l.5O per thousand
feet. The public utility company here
furnishes electricity for power and
lighting to a number of cities and
towns in northern Iowa.

Take 177 Guns.
By J. w. T. MASON.
Omitted Press War Expert


New York, July 29-General Foch
is now holding back his American
units in the Aisne- Marne combats.
Very little scope is being given them
for strong aggressive fighting and the
battle, in fact, is dying down for the
most part, to artillery bombardments.
General Foch knows the supreme
value of the Americans for bringing
the war to a successful ending. He
is showing he reckons them too high
ly to permit them to be sacrificed in
exchange for territorial gains that
are not of large strategical import
ance. The time for Americas pre-
eminent part in the war has not yet
come. The Rhine cannot be reached
with the Aisne- -Marne salient as a
starting point; and it is only by op-
erations in the direction of the Rhine
that decisive results can be expected
from the Americans. The intensity of
the German resistance between tie
Aisne and the Marne Is providing a
unique opportunity for studying the
new characteristics of Won linden
burg's defensive strategy.
There can be 10 doubt that the
German general sbaff has drawn up

What The War Moves Mean

highly intricate strategic plans for
the defense of German territory
against Americas Forthcoming major
offensive. An inkling as to the ma
ture of these plans is obtainable from
the character of the present nghting.
1t is therefore highly essential
part of the work of General Foch's
staff to make careful study of the
methods Won Hindenburg is now US
ing south of the Aisne. There is no
doubt that some of the German de-
fensive tactics are new and are worth
very careful analysis.
The continual advance of the
Franco-American troops toward Fere-
En- -TardenOis is threatening 10 Won
Hindenbdrg's plans but how he is
meeting this danger is a matter for
close examination by the Aides. Be-
tween the Lorraine border and the
Rhine are h number of German sup
ply stations, similar in Importance to

will have to fall to the Americans be-
fore the Rhine is reached. If they
are captured quickly, once the Amer

Webster City and Hamilton county
this afternoon gave another rousing
farewell to an increment of forty Sc
lectmen, who left on the North
western regular passenger, due out
Of this city at 1856. These men go
to Camp Forest, near Lytle, Georgia.
From Webster City the contingent
went to Des Moines, where incre-
ments from various parts of the state
rendeZvoused. At that point, the men
take special train over the Rock
Island lines via St. Louis and Nash
Vile, arriving at the camp Wednes-
day evening.
A Chicken Dinner.
Today's increment was given a
chicken dinner this noon at the Elks
club, served by the canteen commit
tee of the Red Cross. The menu fol-
lows:
Stewed chicken
Cabbage salad
Hot Rolls Butter Jelly
Ice Tea Coffee
Green Apple Pie Ice Cream
The chickens were donated by the
good people in the vicinity Of Breeze
Hill, having been solicited by Mrs.
r. B. Rutledge.
Owing to the fact that today's in
crement was not nearly as large as
that which left Friday morning, the
crowd in the city was smaller, yet
the farewell given the men was no
less sincere.
A big parade formed at the court
house and escorted the men to the
train. The Webster City band head
ed it, followed by Winfield Scott
Post, G. A. R., the selectmen, the Red
Cross, the canteen committee and u
long concourse of citizens. In the
latter section were number of SER
vice flags carried by representatives
of various organizations and business
interests.
Hamilton county is unusually proud
of the showing she has made thus
far in sending men to the front.
Counting all voluntary enlistments of
every kind and the selectmen, this
county has some $50 fine young men
in the service.

NEWS AND COMMENT.

If anyone was under the illusion
about the temper of Germany, that
illusion must be dispelled by the peace
terms imposed on Russia. If anyone
supposed that there was hope in the
liberal movement in the Central Pow
ers, that supposition is now shown to
be u dream. The German terms are
the terms of ruthless conquest. Ger
many's motto is the motto of the pa
gan world, "Woe to the conquered!"
The worlds only safeguard is to de-
feat Germany in her chosen field and
with her own weapons. There is no
use pleading with a savage dog.
A man who has kept count of the
number of kisses exchanged with his
wife since their union, consents to its
publication as follows: First year,
80, 500; second year, 10000; third year,
1850; fourth year, 100; fifth year, 2.
He then left off keeping the record.

CURRENT COMMENT.

WHAT is commercial club worth
to town? What, to be specific
is the Commercial Club worth to En-
nett? This question is well worth
considering at a time when citizens
are to be solicited for subscriptions to
q fund of $1,000 with which to carry on
the work during the current year.
Leaving aside the purely commercial
and industrial enterprises to which
the Club has given generously of its
time, energy and talents-wipe all
these off the slate and consider but
one phase of this organizations work
the last year-the agency it has been
for the city's and the county's partic-
ipation in the war work. Always its
war endeavor, and now its rooms are
being used by the Red Cross, Farm
Bureau, Council of Defense and kin
dred organizations. Every Liberty
bond, Red Cross or Y. M. C. A. drive
for funds has found willing and ener-
getic cooperation and assistance from
the Club. All this has been given
freely. But it takes considerable
money to meet these expenses, even
in normal times. OF course, in this
day no city of the consequence Of
Emmett thinks of doing without a
commercial club, but it is just as well
to take stock occasionally and see just
how worth while such an organization
is. SO meet the soliciting committee,
when it calls on you, with smiling
face and generous spirit.

WHATS the matter with the patri-

qualify as a baseball enthusiast. But
we'd be willing to forego the pleasure
of reading the box scores of the Ma
tional and American league games
for couple of seasons, if by so do
ing some of the lucky stiffs who more
or less adorn the pastime could be
forced to go TO work. The patriotism
of the ball players is one of the things
at which America can point the finger
of pride. Something like dozen of
