On battle front by way Of Paris,
Oct After the determined at
tacks and counter attacks of the
past ten days, there has been more
or less calm along the western
front since yesterday afternoon, ex-
cept on the most extreme wing near
Arras, wher the lighting has con-
tinued necessarily.
Both armies, however. have kept
up desultory firing at nearly all
points, although the infantry did not
come into action.
The French soldiers were greatly
surprised today to see their British
comrades, after the long spell in the
trenches, retire to some distance in
the rear and initiate several footballs

the British battalions had lost a
large portion OF their rumber in

Progressives Say Vast Sums of
Money Were Spent to Nom
mate Sullivan.

The Democratic State Committee
las received conclusive evidence
that the agitation for an inYestiga-
tion of the primary expenses of
Roger c. Sullivan is merely scheme
on the part of the Progressiyes to
make political capital and throw
dust in the eyes of the people,
Arthur w. Charles. State Chair
man, gave out a letter he received
yesterday from a down state Demo
trat which shows who is working
up this agitation and how little
there is actually in it. The letter rs
as follows:

Hon. Arthur w. Charles,
Chicago, Illinois.
Dear Sir:
have a little information which

and so far as was concerned it
was innoccntly obtained. A tele-
gram came here yesterday addressed
to Richard l." in care of w r.

siye leader here. The boy who de-
livered the telegram thought that
the Richard L. was intended for me
and lie brought the telegram to me
and | read 1t before | discovered 1t
was not intended for ne. 1t was
from Medill Mccormick OF Chicago,
and was intended for w. r. Bonham
and some Of the Progressive speak
ers here who were here last night
with Raymond Robins. The tele-
gram instructed Judge nonham to
telegraph Senator Norris at Wash
ington, d c., that it was the gen
eral belief of the people of the
state of Illinois that vast sums OF
money had been used IN this state
in the primary election to brinc 9
about the nomination OF Mr. Sulii-
van, and also that it was the belief
of the people that large sums have
heen used for the same purpose In
this county 1t also instructed the
''Richard L." whoever he is, to tele-
phone from Flora, Illinois, to Wash

the same kind of messages sent in
from every county IN tho state, re-
Pardless of the truth or whether
there is any foundation for The
charges. / know there Is not any
such belief among the people here,
at least, if there is, have never
beard of it and | generally hear and

If this information Is of any value
to the committee, am glad to be
able to furnish it, and If It is not
there is no harm done.

of which is to be expended under
the direction OF the War Department
will go to permanent improvement
projects for which the largest ap-
preparation possible must be used
in order to complete them.
The general impression among
those familiar with the needs of the
lower Mis- issippi river, is that the
appropriation for that work probab-
~ will be between $3,000,000 and
$4,000,0O0 That will be ample for

bids and figure on their contracts

Army engineers in charge probab.
ly will figure that the work can be
done for less cost now than if the
letting of contracts were delayed an

outfits might be scattered and the
stage of the river, which is now low
and the condition of the weathe,
might prevent the carrying on Of

GOUGING THE CONSUMER

Greed knows no restraint. Hence it is OF surprising that advan-
tage has already been taken OF the a in Europe to increase unwar-
rantab1y tho cost OF food products n the United States The European
W a apparently is being used as a subterfuge by the packers and dis
tributors OF the necessities OF life to gouge the American consumer.
The va in Europe, instead OF advancing prices at this stage, should
tend to gMt u home market and still further drive down prices 10:
the simple reason that there is n o adequate means OF exportation.
But in the face OF these conditions, most favorable to consumers,
the spectacle is presented of a rapidly rising market. Flour has in
creased $l50 a barrel within two weeks, and that flour vas made from
70 cent wheat, the market price of this commodity in July. With the
greatest wheat crop in the history of the country and a great foreign
war interfering with expectation, II o justification exists TO such an adj
vance. Sugar has already scared to a point beyond the high tariff
prices which the Underwood bill destroyed. and a sharp advance has
been noted in coffee. Meats OF all kinds have gone up alarmingly. The
packers, it is declared, are storing their products awaiting the opening
OF avenues OF transportation between this country and Europe, hoping
countries now at war.
Unsetuement of all markets and a sharp advance in the COS of i'm
ported food products as a result of the a are reasonably to be X
pected, but if the cs Of living is to be generally skyrocketed n the
face OF the greatest crops in on history, and with nc discrimination IN
favor Of those things of which w e possess the greatest abundance, a
situation certainly exists which demands stern and radical teatmen
The people OF the United States must OF be permitted to suffer, n
the pretext of a foreign demand that there art no ships to supply
solely for the enrichment OF greedy eNpoters OF public necessities.

OUTRAGEOUS FOOD PRICES

Famine prices for food throughout the United States are Arbitrarily
speculative and criminal They have been imposed at a time when the
greatest crops " known are maturing and in the face OF al embargo
upon foreign commerce that may last long enough to glt u ware
houses.
1t is thus that the war-makers OF the earth heap terror upon
terror and add suffering to suffering. The worsto OF their ofenses Is
ct always to be en upon the field of battle. Savagery there has
some redeeming traits such as courage, devotion and sacrihce. In thu
market place it is altogether sordd and calculating. In conflct al
kills and mains strong lei In trade it starves the aged, the young
the weak.
The movement in congress to investigate this outrageous increase IT
the prices of provisions may be useful in a way, but it will OF promptly
reach the evil. What is needed is instant activity o. the part OF the
department Of justice There al be n o such general n eNorDtalt

All of II laws against trusts, unfair business practices, monopohes'
