last evening Tie impression that his
company liz not opposed to the general
new schedule OF rates for light, cook

the, city commission, . and that this

Difference 'of opinien.t
A differences Of Opfni0n developed
between Robert Louis Best and Mr..
;. Aasness, as to the wisdom OF the new
lighting schedule, which would reduce
domestic lighting current from IL IL
cents per XVIII to II cents: Mr.: Best,
arguing from his own standpoint as &
merchant, said the result would be
that the company would get more fol,
It's downtown lighting, and that the
reduction i to 3, domestic consumers
would not absorb the increase which
would be charged heavier patrons IN
the business district. Mr.. Aasness ad-
initted that the present ~ IL, cent
rate for domestic lighting is a'tritle
higher. than some other cities of the

Z the proposed reduction would aver

ians at dawn today against the Ger mans between Villers Brentonneux and the Somme-an attack which had been especially set to coincide with Inde- pendence Day.
 The enemy was taken entirely un- awares, and the big framed fighters from Australia stormed their way through the bewildered gray coats with little opposition--a veritable hu- man tornado which left wake of death behind it.
 Hamel village was rushed and taken in short order, Vaire and Hamel woods with their nests of cracking machine guns. were passed through. as if the Australians were doing practice charge for their commander, and line of enemy trenches east of these strong holds were in the British cages this afternoon, while out on the battlefield great numbers of the German Emperor's men lay silent under the brilliant sum shine which could bring them no cheer.
 HOUR AND HALF FIGHT
 It took the assaulting forces about an hour and half to complete their work. and at tho end of that time. they had, with exceedingly light cas- ualties, wrested from the enemy a strip of territory four miles wide and av eraging a mile and a half deep. By this operation they eliminated sali- ent in the British line and gained valuable high ground.
 The Australians went over the top behind large number of tanks, which were to pilot the way. Two minutes before that hour the British artillery all along the sector dropped tre- mendous barrage on the German de- lenses from guns of all calibres.
 ATTACK WAS SURPRISE
 This was the first warning the ene- my had of impending trouble. Not g word concerning the attack had pene trated to the other side. Even the great uncouth tanks had been gotten into position without the enemy being aware of their presence.
 The first streaks of dawn were be- ginning to light the rolling valley of

With the American Forces in France July 4.-French villages where there are Americans presented truly American appearance today. French soldiers and civilians joining the Americans in cele- brating the Fourth. and making it the holiday of both nations. Civil and mill tary buildings and business places and private residences were decorated with American and French flags and the coll orS of the other allies. Children in the stree,s waved small flags in honor of the Americans. many of the boys and girls throwing wild flowers at passing American automobiles and motor trucks. Hundreds of French automobiles, nov ing back ard forth at the front, were adorned with American and French flags.
 Many villages wore enlivened by ath- letic games participated in by American soldiers. while impressive ceremonies were held at some of the army posts.

The French also have struck savageIy against the German lines, this time cutting through the ene- my ranks near the town of Autre- ches, south of Moulin-Sous-Tou- vent, where on Tuesday night they won a local success and captured prisoners. Here the Germans lost 1066 prisoners.
 In both operations the allies have improved their positions by gaining rather high ground. which can be readily defended if the Ger mans launch their expected offcn- sive.
 At the same time that the Brit fsh, French and Americans were attacking the enemy, the Italians continued to advance in the area near the mouth of the Piave. Scat- tered machine gun emplacements have been cleaned out, while light boats from the Italian navy have entered the lagoons on the left flank of the Austrian armies and given valuable assistance to the Iand forces. The Italians also have won ground in the Santoresen vnI- ley, east of the Brenta river. Announcement is made that Mo- hammed V. Sultan of Turkey. died Wednesday, night.

Philadelphia, July 4.--The great Fourth of July splash of American ships which Charles M. Schwnb, di- corporation. said would re-echo in the ears of the German emperor, took place today planned by the shipbuiIdcrs of the United States. From I minute nfter IF o'clock last night, when the first ship was launched at Superior, Wis, until late today, cargo carriers and other type of vessels were sent to help build the ocean bridge for aI- lied fighting forces in Europe.
 The offices of the emergency fleet corporation were kept open all day and late into the night to receive official re- ports of the launchings. Incomplete reports gave the number of vessels sent overboarj as 55. of which 3s were steel and the other 19 of wood tonnage total- ing 29s.se4
 These figures do not include the launch ing of naval vessels which are being built directly under the supervision of the navy department. Curtailed wire communications. due to the holiday, is the cause of the failure of the corpora- ton officers to receive fuller reports of the initial ship of the big fleet The exact number of launchings probably will not he known until tomorrow.
 From the Pacific coast Charles Piez. vice president of the emergency fleet cor poration. wire dthat the Union plant of the Bethlehem Steel corporation had made a worlds record by launching 4Lsoo deadWeight tons, represented by four ships, in one yard in one day. A second record was broken by this plant by building one of the ships, the De- fiance, 12,00G-ton boat, in 3S days. Irn- mediately after the launching six keels were laid, making a third record.
 The Great Lakes Engineering works reported the launching of three ships at its Ecorse, Mich., plant and added thar this is our portion of today's happy greetings to the Kaiser"
 At Manitewoc, Wis. where a 34OO-ton ship was launched. the honor of chris tening the vessel was given to the wife of the boss of the riveting gangs that made the best record from June Il to July l.
 In many yards new kesls were i'm laid after the ships left the ways.
 The largest boat launched was the indianapolis, 12,500 tons, at the Pusey < Jones yard at Gloucester, N. J.

BOris Bahkmeteff, who was sent here as Russian ambassador dur ing the kerensky regime, was in the audience.
 The Presidents speech in full was as follows:
 
 My Fellow Citizens:
 am happy to draw apart with you to thls quiet place of old council, in order to speak a little of the meaning of this day of our nations independence The place seems very still and remote It Is as serene and untouched by the hurry of the world as 1t was in those great days long ago when General Washing ton was here, and held leisurely confer ence with the men who were to be asso- ciated with him in the creation of na- ton. From these gentle slopes they looked out upon the world and saw 1t whole; saw it with the light of the future upon it. saw with modern eyes that turned away from a past which men of spirits could no longer enduro It is for that reason that we cannot feel even here in the immediate presence of this sacred tomb, that this is a place of death. It was place of achievement. A great promise that was meant for all mankind was here given plan and real ity. The associations by which we are here surrounded are the inspiring asso- citations of that noble death which is only a glorious consummation of new birth
