4 ar new RESIDENCE RATE makes it possible for you to employ ELECTRICITY freely to help you in the HOME. You can now call to your aid irons, Washing Machines’ Toasters, Yacunm Cleaners, etc., and them freely. A word about the NEW RATE. You pay 8c per month per hundred sq. ft. of floor area of your house, and then use all the electricity you want for 5c per KWH. The rate does not benefit those who use only a small uantity of electricity in PROPORTION TO THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE, but DOES BENEFIT those who already use a considerable amount, or who increase their consumption by the fuse of irons and ther appliances. » '.l}o make the rate more clear, please note carefully the following examples: i T ——— e —— e e ——————— 1500 sq. ft at 8¢ per 100 ...... 14 KWH at 5¢ Total New Rate . ...

NO.1—Is a house of 1500 sq. ft., occupied by people who use com- paratively little electricity. For them the old rate is cheaper, .’ NO. 2—1Is the same house occupied by people who use mere elec- tricity, but still do not use it freely. They save something by the newrate. - e NO. 3—Tilustrates the same house occupied by a family which uses more electri¢ity because its members are wideawake and and up-to-date and appreciate how much electricity helps in the home. They save 25 per cent. over the old rate, to say nothing of the saving in HEALTH and STRENGTH, and the gain from increased comfort and convenience. —Are you interested in ELECTRICITY FOR COOKING ? If so, we have a similar rate which makes a further reduction to 3¢ for this purpose after a certain number of KWH tised per month, at 5c per KWH. In this cooking rate we require cerfain minimum consumption.

Thus far the German operations in the region of Lémberg have exerted no apparent effect on the. situation along the Dniester river. At only one point on thé entire length of this river, which for weeks marked thé southeastern fighting front, have the Austro-Germans managed to establish thempelves with any permanency on the right bank. Here, in thé region near Nizniow, the Germans effectually crossed the river; but, according to detalls learned today of a severe bat- tle at this point, the Austro-Germans have been repulsed with heavy losses and compelled to sacrifice many strongly fortified pasitions. They still maintain, however, their position 6n the right bank of the river. Germans Successfully Held. On the front, extending from the Tanew to a line west of Rawa Ruska, the Germans have been successfully held, and né weakness in the Russian positian is in évidence here as a re- sult of the Russian evacuation of Lemberg.

Columbia RUSHING DEFEAT FOR PAN-SLAVISM Fall of Lemberg Celebrated in Vienna and Munich by Great Pub- | Mic Celebrations. Berlin, June ' 25.—The Over-séas j’et-*fewl Agency yesterday gave out ths o] llowing: “In political circles the fall of Lemberg is considéred a crush- ing defeat, morally and politically, for Pan-Slavism. Whether it will result in the breaking down of Russia's mili- tary operations is questionable. The Russians probably will attempt to con- centrate fresh forces behind another line of defenses furtheér back. “In Vienna the whole population turned out to celebrate the victory. In Munich there was a great public celebration. City hall the mayor addressed a crowd, which paraded in front of the castle. The queen and princesses appeared on the balecony. The king is absent. ‘‘Reports from the front say that at noon on Monday Austrian troops solemnly entered Lemberg amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the people, who gave the soldiers flowers and refresh- ments. The Russian general staff re- ported officially that on that same day there was shell fire in the direction of Lembeig. “A message from Vienna says that Emperor Francis Joseph received the | Spanish ambassador, who delivered a cordial autograph letter from King Alfonso.” Official reports from = Berlin and Vienna announcing the fall of Lem- berg fixed the date as Tuesday, June 23.
