washington. Sept. IL. With
French ana American troops strik-
ing on a wide front south and east
of yerdun today the greatest battle,
perhaps the decisive struggle OF the
war, may have begun. Early reports
show that this first employment OF
General Pershing's new army is on
a, wide front, the joint French and
American thrust covering twenty
miles.
Apparently the initial effort is to
force the enemy out Of the st. Min
lei salient which he has held since
1914. The American troops have
been holding the front along the
southern and eastern sides Of the
salient. Their lines. according to
the last information available here,
included the point where the front
crosses the Moselle river. The course
Of that river ia the direct road to
Metz, which It has been expected
here would be the objective Of the
first phase Of any attack by Perish
ings men In this region.
Many officers here believe Mar
shall Foch has now struck the blow
he has had in preparation ever since
he determined to withhold the bulk
OF the American army from the
a. decisive action. The movement
planned, however, may not develop
to It's full extern for several days.
According to the latest reports
noted here, American divisions
known to be in the positions from
which the attack has been launched,
included the veteran first and second
regular divisions, which were the
first American units to get into ac-
ton in France, the seth National
army. composed of Kansas, Missouri,

that the matter had been left in the
hands Of the attorney general.
Awaiting a Change.
Indications are that the admins
tration powers that be" are at
tempting to delay action in the Far
go rate question until after a change
in the membership of the state rail-
road commission has taken place.
In fact, that this is the plan OF ac-
ton, was virtually admitted by the
official newspaper
today, which hints at changes in the
railroad commission that will make
the case against the power company
stronger. Such change in commits
sion membership, however, can
not come until January thus the
city would pe compelled to await
four months before any action will
be taken, if it is the plan OF the at
torney general to delay till that time.
1t has been known for some time
that there is friction between the at
torney generals Office and the pres
ent railroad commission members of
ent railroad commission members Of
attorney general with attempting to
direct the affairs, not only OF his own
department, but that of the railroad
commission ais well. To that fric-
ton Fargo officials who have studied
the situation ascribe the present
delay in handling Fargo's complaint
against the higher rates on gas and
electricity being exacted by the
power company. ~
Commission Powerless.
"The railway commission is pow
erIess so far as immediate action in
this matter is concerned" Rate FIX
pert James A. Little, Of the state
railroad commission, was quoted as
saying today. 'tIn our biennial report
we are, recommending that every
public utility in the state be required
to file published schedule OF rates
with the railway commission, and
that this body be given power to
suspend rate increases pending
hearing. We have not that power
now, and we cannot act in the Far
go matter until hearing has been
held. We are now awaiting the re-
port Of the special accountant which
the Fargo city commission has prom :
Used us. There is no disposition up-
on the part Of this board to DELAY
matters. and we absolutely are not
responsible for the delay which has
occurred"

Peace Offensive
In Full SEEING
(RY .Associated Press }

\ Washington, Sept. 12s-The German
peace offensive is now. recognized by
officials here as being in full swing.
A progressive campaign is clearly in
dicated to their minds by the ap-
parently casual remarks Of Premier
Won Hertling a few days ago, fol-
lowed by the more formal statement
to the visiting German newspaper
men in Vienna by Count Burian. the
Austrian foreign minister, the re-
marks Of the German Crown Prince
and now the speech of Emperor Will
lam himself to the working people at
Essen.
Peace proposals emanating from
these sources would appear ineon-
gruous were the officials not firmly
convinced Of the insincerity of the
movement, which again is recognized
as conceived with the double purpose
OF placating the uneasy and restless
German Socialists and at the same
time appealing to the pacifists in the
entente countries and America in the
hope OF weakening the hands of the
Allied governments in the prosecu-
ton of the war.

The report was asked for by the rail-

Alex stern, president Of the city
commission, this afternoon charac-
teriZed the statement as passing

when William LANCER, attorney
general, met with the city commits
sion some two months ago, he in
formed the commission that his Of
flee had contracted with Hagenah
g. Erickson, Chicago accountants, to
make the audit Of the Union Light,
Heat & Power company's books, as
this was the firm which made the
physical valuation Of the conpany's
property, and the. commission agreed
to pay not to exceed $500 for the
audit.
"The commission, confident that
the audit would properly be taken
care Of, took no further action. but
today the situation is unchanged. No
audit OF the conpany's books has
been made, and now the commission
is being blamed for the delay. Mr..
LANCER promised the audit; the COM
mission promised to pay for it,"
