Refers to Court Decisions.

He called the courts attention to
many decisions of the Supreme Court OF
tue United States and of other courts
and of many state commissions to sus-
tain his views He then proceeded to
discuss the decision Of the commission
in detail. He compared the actual
cost Of the property as found by the
commission and as submitted by the
company. and showed that the main
difference consisted in the elimination
by the commission from tho fair value
of the property for rate-making pur-
poses Of the amount added to the book
value of the company to $1,000, 900 over
and above the cost of the physical
property OF the old United States Elec-
trio Lighting Company and of the
Great Falls power site and Graceland
cemetery property. which, he claimed.
should not at this time be included
in fair value for rate-making purposes,
because they were not and never had
been used by the company and their
use in the near future was not contem-
plated. He claimed that the addition
by the company to its actual cost of
items heretofore charged to operating
expenses. and which he claimed had al
ready been paid for by the consumers.
should not now be taken out of op-
Grating expenses and capitalized for
the purpose of forming basis for an
additional and perpetual return to the
company. These items totaled more
than 81 500. 900.

 Mrs. Orrick said the probabil- ity of her husband being sent overseas very soon hastened the wedding.

Trying to Flank Rheims.

Paris, May 31.-Baffled by the valor of the Allied soldiers, the Germans failed to enlarge greatly the pocket in the Allied line. Even in the center the enemy appears to have been held and the advance there is slackening.
 In accordance with their faVorite maneuver, the Germans apparently are moving their columns eastward with the object of getting around Rheims through Vi1le-en-Tardenois and the valley of the Ardre. The bas- ton constituted by the ruined city and high ground known as the Mountain of Rheims Is a menace to the German flank It is too strong to be attacked from in front with any chance of suc- cess, so the enemy is trying to turn it from the southwest. ..
 While any progress by the Germans on French soil with the inevitable trail of ruin and desolation strikes French hearts sorely, the unswerving confidence with which the general public views the situation is most re- markable. No doubt is felt as to the outcome, and there is no weakening in the resolve to fight to the end.
 Situation Improving, RenouIt Reports.
 We return with the impression that as the day advanced the situa- tion became more favorab1e," Rene Renoult, president of the army com mittee of tho chamber of deputies,

ATTACKS ON AMERICANS AT
 CANTIGNY QUICKLY FOlLED
Germans Hurl 4,000 Shells But Infantry Is Heavily Punished in Attempt to Reach Trenches.

With the American Army in France, May ,30.-German artillery in the course of the night severely bonn barded the new positions of the Americans at Cantigny west of Montdidier. They fired as many as 4,000 high explosive shells in brief space of time. Several attempts made by the Germans to come over were repulsed with heavy loses by the Americans.
 Enemy airmen were active last night and this morning, bombing vil- lages behind our lines without regard to military objectives.
 American forces northwest of Foul carried out successful raid against the Germans late last night , Rickcnbacher Scores Again.
 There was much aerial activity on the front northwest of Toul today and two if not three, German machines were shot down.
 Lieutenant Edward Rickenbacher, the former automobile racer, not only brought down one machine but rescued Lieutenant James A. Meis- sner, of Brooklyn, after his machine had been damaged Single handed, Rickenbacher attacked two Albatross biplanes and three monoplancs. After he had fired 100 rounds into one bfplane it fell crashing to the ground. The lieutenant turned and attacked another which sought safety in flight. Meanwhile the remaining German machine had descended too low for Rick kenbacher to attack.
 As he was returning behind the American lines Rickenbacher saw four German planes coming toward him. He turned and saw Lieutenant Meissner, who was flying high, at tack one enemy machine just as a second hostile plant attacked Meis- sner. Meissner's machine collided with one of the enemy and a wing of his plane was torn. Meissner inn anediately turned toward home wh len a third enemy machine, seeing that .he was crippled, took hastily after him.
 Rickenbacher made a long dive and drove off the German with his anachine gun, undoubtedly saving Meissner.
 Y. $. Pilots Guns Jam.
 Tn another fight two American pilots were forced to withdraw be- cause their guns became jammed just as they attacked the enemy. Another pilot encountered five hostile planes and had fired six bursts with - out apparent damage and the enemy 1hachines returned
 Later five Americans saw two enemy machines over Apremont They attempted to get away as the Americans came up, but two Ameri cans got on the tail of one of the enemy machines. Hundreds of bull lets were fired into the fusillage O. the German plane and it crashed into a wood The other enemy machine was chased down by al SAmerican and it was seen to overturr as it reached the ground. The results of several other combats have no yet been reported.
 An American aviator was captured by the Germans in No Mans Lant after his machine had been damaged in a fight between five American xmachines and a German squadron The American aviator was last seer going into the enemy trenches unde cover of German rifles.

NEW FELT HATS FOR SUMMER
Sole Trimming Consisting Of Tlnsel
Cord Worn by Army officers Adds
Glitter Of War.

There is no doubt that we are going
to glitter and gllsten this year as did
the fighters OF the tenth and eleventh
centuries. advises a style expert. The
m%llllners have blazed the way for this,
for, ms the student OF dress well knows,
one can build up n rather good pro-
gram OF new fashions for gowns and
wraps by what the milliners exploit
In head coverings.
And when you see new felt hnts ex-
plotted on all sides, with their sole
trimming consisting OF the tlnsel cord
worn by American officers, you will
realize that the sitter of wnr is to be
put into the autumn costumery.
Felt hnts, by the way, are very
smart for summer. They may keep
away the incoming velvet hat which
leaves us IN February, when II is need
ed and comes back the first OF July,
when II Is undesirable.
The felt hat OF the hour is white,
oyster, beige, black and yellow and Is
trimmed with masses Of flowers ar
ranged In n wreath around the crown
When the lat is for sports, for coun.
try or for travelling, It has the tlnsel
cord Of the American captain.
