A representative of the Indiana public soi-vice commission was in this city yesterday to Inquire into the methods of applying the new rates which have been granted the Logansport Heat Power company by the commission. The purpose of the inquiry is to make the 1 award of the commission and the practice of the company conform to the intent of the award. a secondary position behind the Hin- tlenburg lines. In the Champagne the enemy also is redoubling his efforts to hold off General Gouraud's forces on the line of Monthers-Orfuil-Llry. The here are cut by steep cliffs and deep ravines ami with clumps of i trees and thickets, furnishing lent positions for defense.

These po- I sitions are being fiercely defended, the I Germans retiring only step by step and multiplying their counter attacks at all points where the French troops advance. General Gouraud's men this morning burst through a very deep line 06- wire defenses south of Orgfeuil and Liry and took a formidable position by assault. I The Germans are in "retreat on an important sector of the western battle front in France. The scene of the new retrograde movement Is a wide front north and south of Labassee canal. The continuation by the entente allied forces of their brilliant achievements in restoring Belgian Flanders the expulsion of the enemy from further territory in France from the region of Carubrai to Verdun evidently has brought the Germans to the realization that the great bend in the line from Menin to tfie east oE Arras is likely to prove another such trap as was the St.

Mihiel salient unless they are fast enough of foot to move eastward, giving up Lille, Lens and I Douai, an dstraighten their line from i the vicinity of Cambrai to Belgium. On all the other six battle fronts from Belgium to Verdun the entente toro.es are keeping up their successful I advances, although the Germans ev-' erywhere except northwest of Rheims have materially stiffened their front and are offering strong resistance to further inroads into their territory In Belgian Flanders, the wedge of the Belgian, British and French troops has penetrated still farther eastward and southeastward from Dixmude and only a few miles more will be required by the allied troops to give them positions by w.hich Ostend, one of Germany's sea bases, will be made untenable, and, indeed, the entire North sea coast now in German hands, put in jeopardy. British warships are now violently bomr barding the coast, and the Germans are reporte dto be moving their heavy guns eastward, fearful of their jcap- ture. Many additional towns have been i captured by the allies in this regioui and numerous prisoners have been ta.ken. The important railroad June-1 tion point of Roulers is all but in the I hands of the allies, while southward from Roulers the British have cut the Roulers-Menui railway at two places I and are in the process of investing Menin.

The French are now in full posses-i sion of St. Quentin and have on eastward. The entire Hindenburg' system between St. Quentin and i Catelat lias been completely smashed Marshal Haig's forces, with whom the Americans are brigaded and further ground has beben won in the outskirts of Cambrai and north of that city. At one point north of St.

Quentin the British were forced to give up a village under a heavy i counter-attack by fresh German I troops. A band -of Americans, who had outdistanced their fellows in I arms were surrounded on one sector byb the Germans, but were released after two days, during which they killed many of the enemy who sought to capture them. Northwest of Rheims. the St. Thierry massif has been captured and north of the cathedral city the environs of Betheny have been reached by the French.

The Germans along" this front are in retreat to their old 1917 line and the French have reached the Aisne canal at several points. The French in Champagne and the Americans on their right have made further gains against, the Germans in'! the cleaning out of the Argonne forest and pressing northward on both sides of this bastion. In Palestine the British have occupied Damascus and taken more than Y.OOO Turks prisoners. WAR BULLETINS Associated Paris, Oct. developments in the situation on the American front northwest of Verdun tends to confirm the opinion that it is the enemy's apparent intention to hold on to the Krienhilde-Steelung system of trenches running from Brieulles to the Bois De Cunel, then south to Gesnes, then south along the.ridges in the vicinity of Exermont, crossing the Aire river one kilometre north of Aprernont.

Washington, Oct. 2--General Pershing's comuuique today says that a partial count of the material captured during the past week by the American troops advancing between the Meuse and Argonne rivers shows 120 guns of all calibres, 750 trench mortars, 300 machine guns, 100 heavy tank guns, thousands of artillery shells, and hundreds of thousands of rounds of small arm amunition. Paris, Oct. towns and villages were carried today by the French troops on the various fronts, according to the war office announcement, tonight. Especial progress was made north of the Vesle.

London, Oct. Thraves railway was bombed by the British independent air forces Tuesday, according to an official statement issued tonight. Amsterdam, Oct. leaders have sharply rejected an offer made to them to enter an Austrian coalition cabinet, according to a Vienna dispatch printed in the Frankfort Gazette. London.

Oct. allied governments have decided formally to recognize the belligerent status of the Arab forces fighting as auxiliaries with the allies against the common enemy in Palestine and Syria. WASHINGTON SEES SIGNS OF PEACE DRIVE BY THE GERMAN PEOPLE (Continued From Page One.1 has tried the expedient of himself selecting leaders of the opposition parties for minor places in the cabinet and promising to forward the enactment of popular measures. But the socialists have generally declined to accept anything short of absolute control through the reichstag of the cabinet without reference to the wishes of the emperor, and officials believe that at length they are about to realize their aspirations. Such a change in Germany doubtless would be followed not indeed preceded, by a similar revolution in Austrian parliamentary government, and -it is fully expected that as soon as real representative government is a fact in the central empires there will be an irresistible movement towards peace, even on the terms laid down by President Wilson.

In this connection, the news today that -the Austrian emperor had summoned to Vienna the three biggest men of Hungary, Counts Tisza, Au- drassy and Apponyi, was received here with undisguised interest. This action was regarded as very significant although officials were not certain whether it had to do with the Bulgarian withdrawal from the war, with its direct threat to the dual or with internal reforms, or was "a definite move for a separate peace.

In the yards at Fore River, Mass, he said there were about 3,000 cases, or sen per cent of the workers. At the Hog Island yards approximately eight per cent of the 30,000 men have been unable to report for work this week on account of the disease. Like conditions exist in other yards in the two districts, Mr.

Schwab said, but the' disease has not spread to any great extent to ship yards in the south Atlantic, Gulf. Great Lakes and Pacific coast districts. The shipbuilding program will interferre.d with materially in. any yard where the number of cases reach eight per cent of the men employed, the director-general said. Through the medical service of the corporation every effort is being made to stop the spread of the malady.

As. precautionary measures to prevent an epidemic of influenza in war crowded Washington the public schools were ordered closed today, and liberty loan parades as well as most public gatherings were prohibited by" the district commissioners. American flags threw the big store into a riot of color. There is a color scheme prevailing throughout the store, blue and French gray, carried into even the painting of the ceilings, the cabinets, the stairs, mezzanine railings, everywhere and it gives a wonderful effect of restfuT- ness and richness. The great crowds that crowded'into the store last night and were lost In wonder and admiration were royally entertained.

Two bands played for them, the Boy Scout choir sang for them, Boy Scouts and Liberty Guard girls served'as ushers for them, cigars were piled out to the men and roses we're lavished upon the women. So dense were the crowds that each person was quick to ses that another visit will be necessary to get a full conception of what a big thing the new store really is. The display windows, and the great display case in front of the store were dressed in most artistic fashion, revealing a bint of the quantity and Quality of the merchandise carried in the new store. The store was planned 'by A. Grube himself: every detail in it he worked out and the transformation of that giant skeleton of a building into the wonderful store it now is is a tribute tn the genius of the progressive merchant.

Philadelpliia, Oct. 2. --Spanish in-' fluenza' continued to-sweep through Philadelphia and suburban towns to-! day, hundreds of new cases and many additional deaths being reported.

GOOD TRAINING FOR BODY Reasons Why Children Should Be Allowed Indulge in Dances That Are Innocent.

Dancing is invaluable as physical training for children. It is impossible for them not to learn the exact value of time beats, because to keep the dance going the time must be perfect. And the quick jumping steps are splendid training for balancing the body. Children learn easily and readily because the spirit of the dance inspires them without mental effort. How necessary such inspiration is in the training of children, anyone can judge who has ever watched tha heavy, timeless jump of a small, slow, country school drilling.

Feet and brains do not work together and the class, jumps all at once, but reaches the again at a dozen different times. A child's brain must be overworked unless its small reasoning power is helped by external inspiration as this of the dance swing. -SJ- SUSPENDS SENTENCE.

Keeping Up the Advertising in War-Time 'Charles N. Wheeler, London Correspondent of Chicago Tribune, Interviews Harry Gordon Selfridge of London's "Miracle Store." LONDON, June Aug. 5, 1914, the day after war was declared, 1 increased our advertising space. From that day I have been buying all the advertising space available. I would do more advertising if I could get the space.

"We are limited only by the limitations of the newspapers. We are taking now every inch they will give us and at rates that would make us in the states turn somersaults and fall over backwards. "I am paying at the rate of $1 per agate line ($14 per inch) for display space right now I will take more space if they will give it to me--and at that rate. I probably will pay more before the war is over. But I will take all they will give.

"The first four months of this year have 'been the biggest four months in our history. This growth has.come because we have FORCED it. At the beginning of this year we were the sixteenth largest house of the kind in the world. At the end of this year we will be the sixth. Within two years after the new store building is completed we will be first.

ADS SHATTER TRADITIONS "A big factor--a very big factor--in this record has been and will continue to be newspaper advertising. We never could have broken through these traditi over here without it. We had to use all we could to break down prejudices. We made people stop, look and listen. Then the store itself did the rest.

"We now talk to millions of people every day through our advertising columns, and they believe in us, trust us, respond to that advertising quickly and continue to be our customers in all kinds of weather. The large business enterprise that is not going the limit in advertising just now is making a huge mistake. "Now, more than at any other time, it is necessary to push the display advertising. If retrenchments appear necessary they should be made in evary other department but the publicity one--the newspaper advertising one. These prices they are soaking us now for space are simply awful--but I'll take more space if they will sell it to me.".
