 the British forces, which at many points especial ly on the end of the long line of battle are stand ing firm.
 Heavy Fighting In North
 The German official report tells of the defeat of the British and "their retreat via Ypres and Sally" This would seem to indicate heavy fight ing far to the north of the Somme battlefield, of which no British report has spoken. There is however town called Sally south of Bapaume and eastward of this place is a town known as Ytres. It is probable that these were the points referred to in the statement from Berlin
 The largest gains made by the Germans have been west of St. Quentin where they have cap tured Nesle and Guiscard These points, which are at the tip of the Teutonic attack, are more than 10 miles from the front as it stood March 21
 "Pincer' Plan Is Checked
 Military observers discern in the scheme of the German attack repetition of the German "pincer' system of attack, which was used by vOn Mackensen in Russia Rumania and Serbia. This attack consists of two attacks some distance apart, which after progressing to some depth, turn toward each other compelling the forces caught between them to fall back or be in danger Of capture.
 The British have foreseen this danger and have met it by first checking, then forcing the northern jaw of the pincer southward, while they have dropped back on the center and have not fallen into the German trap The pressure of the defenders of the Somme front seems to be bend ing the whole German attack to the south where lit is hoped it's force will be dissipated
 Two Hanks Are Holding
 The French positions joined the British to the south of St. Quentin, but there have been no re- ports showing that the French have fallen back from their advanced positions. On the other hand, reports would indicate that the original French lines now virtually outflank the advanc- ing Germans along the Disc river.
 In the meantime the British strategy seems to Ibe devoted to the task of meeting the attack so that 1t is directed no longer straight at the lne but is diverted toward the Oise where the Ger man advance has been more rapid. l French troops have taken over sectors of the ront and have released British units for work farther north Berlin states that Americans have also joined in the fighting, but nothing has as yet been officially reported on this point.
 Bapaume's Fall Serious
 The fall of Bapaume in the early hours of Monday, was blow to the British but it was the result of the determination to fall back slowly all along the line that is being attacked. Official reports state that repeated heavy attacks on Ba- paume were beaten off by the British who also forced the Germans back across the Somme at a number of points, only to fall back when the safe 'retreat of the main body of the army should be assured. While the German wedge is still mov- ing it's progress is not alarmingly rapid as it was in the first rush of the Teutonic progress The yielding line, 1t is stated, has absorbed the i'm petus of the shock and has Weathered the storm remarkably well. Berlin claims that 45,000 prisoners have been taken. These were probably

Mory Again Abandoned

In the north, in the region of Ervillers, the British last night were forced once more to aban- don Mory, which had changed hands several times in the last few days They fell back for short distance and the battle this morning was staged largely along the Bapaume-Arras road The Germans employed large number of div- sions in this assault, which in the early hours was held off by the British gunners For the last four days French refugees have been streaming back

for a counter thrust were thrown back with sanguinary losses. The relentless pursuit by General von Conta and General von Gayle pressed after the retreating enemy. Guiscard and Chau- ny were captured"
 The allusion in the German official statement to fighting in the vicinity of Ypres and Sally would seem to in dicate new offensive far to the north of the Somme battlefield There is. however. Sally just to the south of Bapaume and three miles to the east of Sally there is a town called Ytres. It may be that these are the two places referred to in the text of the German official review of the fighting

Battle Most Spectacular

The battle today on the historic ground about Longevuil was perhaps the most spectacular of any along the front. It was day for machine gun ners and infantry. The Germans were pursuing their tactics of working forward in massed form aton and the British rapid firer squads and rifle men were reaping horrible harvest from their positions on the high ground. Notwithstanding their terrible losses, the Germans kept coming on filling in the places of those who had fallen and pressing their attack The British artillery in the meantime poured in perfect rain of shells on the enemy, carrying havoc into the ranks of the enemy. In this section the Germans were operat- ing without the full support of their guns because of their rapid advance

Decision Is In Abeyance

The decision at all of these centers is yet in abeyance, so far as is known at this time and the struggle goes on with unabated fury. The resist ance of the British right wing has been particu- larly spectacular.
 On Saturday the Germans essayed the cross ing of the Somme on rafts in the Nesle sector but these expeditionary forces were caught in hail of artillery, machine gun and rifle fire and vir- tually wiped out Yesterday however, the Ger mans succeeded in getting troops across in this manner and followed these advanced guards up with strong forces which pushed on in the neigh borhood of Morchain. The British were contest ing the enemy advance fiercely and, at latest re- ports were holding the hard hitting enemy strongly
Arizona republican., 1918-03-26
Struggle Lasts All Night

On the northern wing of the offensive the enemy this morning brought up additional troops after an al-night struggle of the fiercest nature and renewed his efforts to break the British front in the region of Ervillers. To the south, near the center of the line, an equally strong attempt is being made by the invaders to extend the long narrow salient which they had pushed in south of Papaume, near Longueval- famous in the an- nals of the battle of the Somme, these places were again the scene of shambles in which the British machine gunners and rifemen exacted terrible toll of death from the closely pressing enemy Still farther south the Germans were pounding the front hard in an endeavor to push on and get a firm grip on Nesle and swing the British right flank back, while the determined defenders were battling doggedly to force the enemy back and reclaim the positions previously held by them along the river.

TIE VALUE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSIONS.

Has the regulation of utilities by
the commissions been successful?
Yes, in that 1t has cut out rebates;
II has cut out discrimination: it has
cut out unreasonably high rates; it
has prevented. almost throughout the
United States now. the duplication of
public utilities and the waste that
comes from il. II has given the pub
lie an opportunity to appeal to an au-
thoritative tribunal. whenever they
felt that they we're not getting a
SQUARE deal, and it has made the com
panies realize what their real obliga.
ton is to the public.
II the state public utilities commits
sion had the power to adjust rates
from time to time to the needs of the
service, equitable regulation would be
maintained to the great advantage tc
the consumer.
Unfortunately city and village coun
ellis by ordinance frequently fix the in
come of the service companies arbi
trarily for long periods of years, with
out effort to learn the companies
necessities and without reference t.
the burdens placed upon them by tn,
state utilities commission.
An inadequate return for the serv
ice makes good service impossible
The loud demand always is for goot
service.

CANTONMENT TELEPHONE

When war came, there was imme-
diate need to furnish in every canton
ment, in every port, in every military
station, facilities which would link up
every end of the military and naval
establishments with Washington.
Each of Is cantonments meant tele-
phone equipment equal to that Of q
city of 10000, and each meant trained
operators, switchboards and lines.
This required about S10.000.000 added
Investment.

Does
YOUR
Back
Ache?

NEARLY everybody suffers
IN from kidney disease at some. time
or other. One may think he isper'
fectly well and even force himself to say
he is "all right" but his tired movements
and languid expression tell more plainly
than words that he is in an unhealthful
condition.
Backache is a symptom of weak
disordered kidneys. Rheumatic pains,
stiff joints, sore muscles are Others. These
symptoms indicate that the kidneys and
bladder need help to do the work of filtering
and casting out from the system poisons
and waste products that cause trouble.

THE ELECTRICAL POWER COM.
PANIES.

It is wholly unfair and shortsighted
for anyone to suppose that business
which is so constantly and acutely
subjected to the vagaries of politics,
not to speak of the divers extra haz-
ards, can be held to the same level of
rates of return as the business which
is subject to neither these extra haz-
ards nor political trade winds.
1t is encouraging. though, to note o
gradual improvement in public under
standing and disposition at this point.
There is a good deal of evidence to
show that the people are coming to
appreciate the fact that adequate
service depends upon adequate rev.
enue.
