ACTION ON FAKE AUCTION
PLEASES BUSINESS MEN
Report of Bill to the House ELECTS
Expressions of Qualification.
Hope for Law Soon.

Expressions Of qualification that the
fake auction" bill has been reported to
the House and expressions Of hope that it
may soon be enacted into law were to be
heard from many of washington's bust
ness men today. With this bill enacted
into law and the law against false and
misleading advertising in the District, it
is believed that some OF the greatest evils
in the city today may be remedied.
Efforts are to be made to enforce all
possible laws in such a manner that fly
by-night" merchants and others who in
jure the legitimate business interests of
Washington by their fraudulent methods
will find Washington an "unhealthful'
place for them to remain.
Joseph A. Berberich. chairman Of the
citizens vigilance committee, which has
the leadership in the matter Of bringing
false advertisements to tn. attention of
the proper officials. is at present out Of
the city. His committee. however, is ready
to do anything In It's power to assist in
suppressing fake auctions. sales which ara
untruthfully termed selling OUT or fire"
sales for the purpose of deceiving the pub
lie.
Merchants Attitude in Statement.
Charles ]. Columbus, secretary Of the
Retail Merchants Association as well
as secretary of the vigilance commit
tee, today issued the following state
ment as to the attitude Of the mer-
chants association toward the auction
bill, which has been introduced in Con-
gress by Representative johnson.
The Retail Merchants Association Is
more than gratifled at the action taken
by Representative johnson on the fake
auction bill now before Congress. It
is one Of the three bills which the Re-
tail Merchants Association has pre-
scented to Congress through Represen-
tative johnson. The first was the fake
advertising bill. now a law; the second
was the bad check bill. and now tho fake
auction bill.
The Retail Merchants Association
is very much pleased with the progress
Of the bill and Is very anxious to see
it made law during this session of
Congress. Nothing is more needed in
the District than such a law. because
nothing is hurting legitimate business
more than fake auctions"

BoInbarded for Two Days.
The new French drive south of the
Somme river yesterday had been pre-
pared by artillery bombardments for
more than two days, and the compli-
Gated system of German defenses In
the loop to the northward made by
the river had been disorganized. The
task of artillery preparation had been
carried through rapidly and the in
fantry attack probably would have
been made sooner had it not been for
the bad weather.
Yesterday morning the rain at last
stopped and the signal for the as
sault was given. The French troops be-
gan to move along a two-and "a half
mile front The left wing rested on the
bridge over the Somme, one mile east of
Sormont farm, while the right wing lay
q little north of Belloy.
The left wing and the center crossed
the German trenches with single
bound and progressed rapidly In the di-
rection of Biaches. This village was
attacked from two sides, the north and
east. at once. The Germans defending
It resisted energetically. but, finding
themsel in danger of being sur
rounded, retreated up the left bank OF
the river by the Perrone road. At 2
o'clock the village was entirely IN the
hands of the French.
Meanwhile the right wing threw the
Germans into disorder and arrived at
the outskirts of Barleux, where the
German situation now appears to be
precarious.
French military opinion chara cterizes
the capture of Biaches as a brilliant
and important operation. Whether the
Germans are still holding on to the
network of canals or have retreated
to the other bank of the Somme, the
French position on the last plateau
before the Somme and the important
point of support afforded by the cap
ture of Biaches give them direct COM
nand of the valley Immediately above
Peronne.
