German Advance Threatened
Important French Positions.
Yank Attack Threw the Enemy
Back Just In Time.
GERMAN ATTACKS FURIOUS
Reached a Depth of Six Miles
Beyond River.
Then Lost Most of the Ground
They Had Gained.

Paris, July 16.-Between Dormans
and Chateau Thierry, Germans pene-
trated Franco-American positions to
a depth of ten kilometers (about six
miles) according to Petit Journal here
today. The attacking forces paid the
price of great losses as they crossed
the Marine.
This advance, the dispatch to the
newspaper adds. might have been dan
gerous, but the Americans on the
French left counter-attacked with su-
perb dash and retook the ground,
throwing the Germans back across the
Marine.
THE fighting extended far into the
evening. being particularly violent be-
tween Chateau Thierry and Rheims.
where the French and Americans re-
sisted magnificently.
THE battle went on yesterday after
noon and evening with renewed vio-
lence between Chateau Thierry and
Rheims the communicate said.
There were furious attacks and the
most violent fighting south OF the
Marine. The French and Americans
resisted magnificently. In the region
of Chatillon-Sur-M Marine they counter
attacked several times"
South of the Marine, the Germans
did not pass out of the line thru St
Agnan, La Chapelle-Monthodon and
the southern borders of BouQuigny
forest The French still hold Ma
reuille-Port.
S~"North of the Marine. the Germans
were held at the line south of Cha
tillon-Sur- Marine and southeast OF
Rodemat wood. There was no change
in the rest of the line. No German at
tempt was made last night
East of Rheims, the enemy tired
and the fighting died down in the
evening. He did not pass out of the
hle thru Pruay. and the southern
borders of the wood north of Chaus-
see-Romaine, eastward to the Suippe
river.
North of Souain and Perthes-Les-
Hurlus. the French fighting positions
remained intact. The Germans sus-
tanned the heaviest losses"

On the battle front east of Rheims
the enemy did not even get beyond

SEEK 45-CT. RATE
Topeka Asks Federal Court To
Set Aside Old Gas Order.
Also Demands Forfeit of Old
"ArtificiaT" Franchise.

An application has been filed in the
United States district court by the
city of Topeka asking that the federal
court set aside the order of July 81.
1917. fixing 6o-cent rate for gas. and
As cents per 1000 cubic feet be made.
The action is the first legal step the
city has taken against the proposed So
cent rate for gas. AS an alternative,
tho court Is asked. to enter an order,
authorizing the city of Topeka to make
the receivers of the Kansas Natural
and the Consumers Light, Heat &
Power company and all other neces-
sary parties. parties any such suits
in quo warranto or otherwise that the
city may find necessary in order to
forfeit the rights of any parties to
maintain and operate a gas distribut-
ing plant in Topeka. Like acton Is
asked that mandamus or other suits
may be filed to require the Excelsior
manufacture and distribution of arti-
ficial gas in this city.
In 1904 the Excelsior company vas
given 4 franchise to manufacture nd
distribute artificial gas. A franchise
was granted in 1903 to the Continental
Oil & Gas company by which gas was
to be furnished for twenty years at q
rate not to exceed As cents. Tits fran
chise was later transferred to the pres
ent distributing company. FRA
Decision Basis of Jurisdiction.
The city contends that If the recent
court orders, particularly that affect
ing the decision of the public utilities
commission, on the twenty-eight~ cant
rate, are void then the rate Of e hts
is still in force and binding upon Me
company
It is expected that a decision on this
application will fix q place of jurisdic-
ton Tor the gas case and furnish a
basis OF action for Kansas cities. The
passage OF the utilities commission ct
in 1911 enabled the state to set aside
franchises, as the commission later
fixed different rates but the federal
courts have since declared these void
Copies of the application filed yes
terday were sent to Leavenworth,
Atchison, Lawrence and Kansas City,
and it is probable that those towns
will take action similar to that begun
by Topeka. The application is filed
by George P. Hayden, city attorney
for Topeka. in the name of John l..
Mckinney and the Fidelity Title &
Trust Co.. against the Kansas Natural
and other companies, the title of the
case now before Judge Wilbur Booth,
in which the sixty-cent rate was fixed.
The application is in addition to the
motion to be heard before Judge
Booth at Minneapolis. July 20. in
which an Injunction is to be asked
against the advance to 80 cents per
thousand. with an additional SO cents
for service fee.
George Hayden, city attorney, will
go to st. Paul, Mimi, to attend the
hearing of the gas case before Judge
Wilbur Booth. The decision on the
application filed by the city of Topeka
Tuesday afternoon will be rendered
July 20.

the Germans when they crossed the

london, July 16.-Advices received
in London up to noon today said that
little change in the situation had been
created by the German offensive. The
attacks which continued thruout yes
terday were conducted by the forces OF
General Won Below and General Won
Bohm who are directing the opera
.tions of the two armies on the ieft
wing of the German crown prince
group.
Hun Losses Heavy.
Great numbers of German corpses
are hanging on the tangle Of barbed
wire in front of the French positions
and all the reports state that the
losses of the Germans must have been
exceedingly heavy. The main attack
to the east of Rheims continued up
to z o'clock last night
The fighting was extremely severe in
the vicinity of Souain and at Prunay,
where the Germans captured wood
south of the village This, however,
was an exception, the German attack
elsewhere being repulsed with heavy
losses The French line of resistance
remains practically intact everywhere
Battle VIII Go On.
Paris, July 1.-THE Germans will
continue their offensive as they have
concentrated strong reserves in the
region of Rethel, northeast of Rheims,
says Marc Hutin il the Echo de Paris.
The reserves, he adds, undoubtedly
will be put into the fighting line prob
ably extending the front of attack to-
ward the ArgOnne.
Violent artillery fire continued last
night on the fighting front. Residents
of Paris again heard the roar and saw
the flashes Of the guns. There was a
dim Pickering in the sky resembling
summer lightning, varied now and
then by a red flash reflected from low
clouds.
The reports of the guns were more
faint than Sunday night and Monday
and were felt rather than heard. An
intermittent dull muttering punctuated
by occasional heavier thuds from the
French heavies kept up during the
night.
Houses in the suburbs were shaken
slightly but in some places the rock
ing of the earth was sufficient to dis

a. this morning stood at IS de-

temperature will register IS or 80 in
the hottest part of the day.
There have been a few local show
ers in the state, the rainfall in some
places in southwest amounting to one
fourth or one-half inch. In only one
place in the state, at Coldwater, did
the temperature go as high as 100 de-

The highest temperature in the
country was recorded at Phoenix,
Ariz., whe.e the mercury went to 1902.
Otherwise, mild temperatures are pre-

particularly cool and agreeable in the
east.
The highest recorded temperature
on this date was 104 in 1913, and the
lowest, was 81 in 1889.
