fighting in which the Americans
trapped and virtually annihila,ed the
prussian Guards in Selinges, said the
.pretended American withdrawal con-
WINGED the Germans that their oppon-
cnts were beaten. The Teutons be-
can pouring into the village, Only to
discover, while organizing then de-
fenses, that the Americans were com
mencing an encircling movement form
iny an almost complete ring around
the village. Tragic fighting with small
arms followed, in which the Ameri-
cans proved the better shots. They
SLOWLY picked off the Prussans and
then began to advance. When the
Americans reached the precincts OF
the village, the firing ceased nd with
wild veil the Americans closed in
on the foe. A strange silence followed
The sudden uproar and only the clash
of steel as mean grappled, and the
groaus of the stricken, were heard. In
tcn minutes all was over and, with
the exception of few prisoners, every
German had breathed his last. Such
was the final capture of Serin"es.

American armies to France and the
numerical superiority of the lilies

the midst of the hardest struggle OF
the war, they will be victorious. He
declared:

No decision will be made at this time,

The hearing was not largely attended

rates were heard
Joseph f. Seymour, Jr, in nehalf

ed that he was familiar with condi-

in favor of having Valley rep:esen-

of the commission on August 2l. He
said, however, that he. could nor say
whether or not this hearing of the
joint application of the Holton Power
Company and the Southern Sierras
Power Company would be final.

about what the rights of the lower
companies were, in reference 10 the
