MANY PRISONERS.

TAKE MANY PRISONERS.
Many of the prisoners were taken
in combat, but the greater part of
them had been forced to take cover
under the smothering barrage and had
been left behind by their retreating
companions. With them it was case
OF appraised hands. Several officers
were captured. but, as usual. the OFF,
GERS were well in the rear when the
! retirement began.
Every objective was made accord
ing to schedule, and in some cases
ahead OF time The first objective
was gained just forty minutes after
the Americans stared. The French on
the left also kept up a swinging
stride
Information reaching the inteIli-
gence officers today indicated that the
Germans had expected the attack to
be made elsewhere.

throughout the day behind the Ger
man lines attacking various targets

FORCE ENEMY LINES.
The lines from which the Germans
were forced today were excellently
prepared and it would have caused
no surprise had the enemy offered
such resistance as to make his with
drawal question of days instead of
hours. Across the valley OF the Aire
the enemy had lines which had taken
months to prepare. but the Am erican
artillery and infantry had forced the
Germans to abandon them with less
than three hours
The first enemy line was taken
with a rush in few minutes, the
second line offered greater resistance,
and at the third line the Germans put
up fight that promised to delay the
advance. The progress of the Ameri-
cans, however, was checked only
briefly, One ravine contained rnassed
machine guns, which poured a hot
fire into the advancing troops, but
without breaking the line.

lily that no letter. which is courteous

The secretary of State proba bly,
receives as many of such requests as
any department in the building. In
fact, the attention necessary for such

preparation available for that year.

least two other matters which We are
credibly informed will be presented
to the commission in the near future
Both of these matters involve an ex-
pense as large or larger than the
| TopSham matter and not exceeding
three and probably not more than
two of these applications can be
granted without exceeding the State
appropriation.
While it is entirely proper for the
Highway Commission to call our at.
tention to this particular elimination
and while if funds were available We
should not hesitate to issue an order

we have called attention are of sc
much greater consequence that this

Public Utilities

A petition has been received by the
Public Utilities Commission from
the selectmen of kittery, under sec
ton "a, Chapter "a, Revised Statutes
as amended by Chapter 3S of the
Public Laws of 1917, for the abolish
ment Of the crossing at grade with
the tracks of the York Harbor q
Beach Railroad Co. and certain

Whipple road.
A hearing has been ordered to he
held at .1.3O F. NJ on Saturday. May

county court house in Portland.
Stock Issue Authorized
The Public Utilities Commission
has issued a decision authorizing the
issuance hy the West oxford Teie-
phone co. of common stock amount
ing to $3.50 at par, in payment OF IN
dcbtedness.
The petition shows interest bearing
Indebtedness Of $1022.I0 and the state
ment from it's annual report shows
such notes then amounting to 5000. %
and accounts payable of $1l7S.43. 1t
accounts receivable were then $S11 AZ,
and the petition does not show to
what extent these may have been re-
duced on either side.
The interest bearing Indebtedness
not funded is, however. shown to be
in excess of the amount of stock pro-
posed to be issued, and it may pro-
perly be capitalized to the extent Of
the unissued authorized capital stock,
which is the amount now asked for.
A Schedule Suspended
The Public Utilities Commission has
issued a decision suspending a certain
schedule Of rates filed with the COM
mission by the Penobscot Electric
Co. being an advance in rates.
A hearing WAS held on April II, 1918

its assent to a reasonable suspension

an underSta nding that such SuSpen-

STATE HOUSE
Council Meeting 10 NJ. Wednesday, April "a

The Public ttilitics Commission
has rendered a decision dismissng the
Detition Of tho state Highway Com
mission FOR the adjustment OF a
grade crossing on state highway
designated as state Highway Il and
the Maine Central Railroad in the
town OF Topsham. for the reason that
upon investigation II appears that
granting the same would result in ex-
sceding the appropriation made by
the State for the purposes mentioned
in the statute under which these pro-
eeedinss are brought. The decision
says In part:
Tho petitioners. tho State High
way Commission. show that in carry
ing out Of a plan for State road build

Topsham IL 70 be improved. At tho
point designated IN the petition the

preached from one direction is dam

Htghvay Commission calls for an en-
tire elimination OF this crossing by d.
verting the highway at an indicated
point and causing II TO pass under the

Which this petition is brought the
state of Maine would be called upon
TO pay c5 per cent 1 the entire eX-
pense. and in this particular case
would mean the payment by the State
OF between 5000 and $1,000. The en-
tire amount which the State appro-
PIRATES for this purpose in one year
is $4,000.
Inc same statute contains this Ian
guage: Provided. however. that the
commission shall not make anv order
upon any petition filed under the pro
visions OF this section until they are
satisfied by investigation or other
wise. and that said order can be COM
piled with without exceeding the
State appropriation available there

we do not understand the Legis-
lature to have intended that this com
mission was merely to consider a
particular case which happened to be
pending and ready for decision and if
1t concluded that in particular case
the amount to be paid by the State
would not have involved exceeding
the State appropriation and entirely
omitting to consider other similar
matters. either pending. impending
or ready for decision. involving the
elimination Of other crossings and the
necessity of expenses on the part OF
the State from the appropriation
available therefor. Stated otherwise
we believe that the Legislature in

KILL 1000 GERMANS
in POISON GAS TRAP

Paris, April 1S.-The evolution o
the use of gas shells has taken sur
prising form in the present battie
One new method is to fire heavy
slowly dispensing gases along chart
ed lanes against the enemy. filling ir
the alternative spaces with quickly
dissipatng poison fumes. Stormine
attacks are then made by troops, who
charge when sufficient interval O.
time has been given for the light
gases to rise.
The British gunners at one part OF
the line threw shells charged simply
with a sinking composition. The
Germans, after a few hours, discov-
cred that this was poisonous
and began laying aside their masks
After these shells had been fired for
another l. hours there was sud
den change to poison gases. About
1000 Germans were caught without
their masks and SuffoCated.
