eating ALL WHITE SLAVE
STATEMENTS.

New York, June 23-Alfredo Coo
Chi, proprietor of the motorcycle shop
where the body of Ruth Cruger was
found, has confessed that he ATTACK
ed and killed the girl, according to
dispatches to the police from Bolog-

rest.
Chief Flynn, of the United States
secret service, has begun an investi-
cation of the revelations made by

Argentine government.
The probe into the police depart

heavy ATTACKS Dy tue GefnduS are
continuing along the Aisne front with
the fighting at times assuming al
most the proportion of a general en-

No substantial successes have at
tended the Crown Princes efforts.
The latest bulletins from the front,
indeed, indicate the fighting to be
turning even more favorably for the
French, whose artillery is proving
that it has lost none of its effective
ness in breaking up attacks.
The crown princes primary pur-
pose apparently is to forestall the re
newal of a French offensive move
ment, which was expected in this
important sector, southwest and
south of the fortress of Laon, the
German key position, which would
be seriously menaced by any fuI-
ther French advance. So far as ap-
pears, General Petain has lost none
of his commanding positions, while
the Germans have sacrificed heavily
for such small gains as they have
been able to effect
Plan of Germans
The plan of the Germans seems to
be to launch heavy forces on com
paratively narrow fronts in the area
under attack. They penetrated a
salient in the French line yesterday
on the Cemin-das-Dames in the
neighborhood of Epine de Chevregny
in one such attack. Last night they
tried to debouch from the ground
thus gained but found all their eff
forts broken up by the French fire.
Other attacks in the region Of Vaux-
illion to the west and near Chev-
ereux and other points to the east
were likewise futile.
Multiply Efforts.
Paris, June 23-Continuing their
offensive on the Aisne front the
Germans last night made repeated
attacks on the region of VauXillion
and southwest of Filain. They also
multiplied their efforts against the
French positions north of Froidmont
where they failed yesterday. To
days Official report says the German
made considerable sacrifices without
gaining the slightest advantage.

LOWER LIGHT RATES

The establishment of a municipal
electrical supply house in Columbia
is a short cut to cheaper light rates
for patrons. Ordinances. complaints
and pleadings do not avail much in
the matter of cheaper electricity. The
plan that has proved successful after
trials in other cities is the electrical
supply house conducted by the city.
The more patrons the light COM
pany has, the cheaper will be the
rates, for the added burden on the en-
gines at the power house is not so
great as to necessitate greater eX-
penditure in that department. and the
revenue from more users of electrici-
" enables the company to lower
rates and still make at least as much
money as before, depending on the
increased patronage.
A municipal supply house where
housewives could buy electric cook
ing utensils at nearly cost would re-
suit in an increase in the number
using electricity for cooking pur-
poses. The cost of supplies bars
many from this advantage, and the !
present rates would mean too high |
an upkeep cost. If Columbia women |
could get cheaper electric cooking |
utensils and their rates lowered at |
the same time, the problem would be |
solved, for one condition results from
the other
Such a plan is worth a trial, any
how, and if the city should establish
supply house the officials could
either continue or discontinue it cas-
lily, depending on the response of
users of electricity.

High Prices Again.

| Editor the Missourian: What is the
self-sufficing student to do? The ad-
vance in the price of. textbooks is al
most unbelievable. A student is for
tunate if he gets out in any course
with the first required books costing
him less than So. More will be re-
quired later Many texts were chang
ed this semester; so he can neither
buy secondhand books nor sell his
old ones. OF course he can take them
to the Coop or Missouri stores, but
he only gets from 80 to 40 per cent
on his investment

rate for student help has not been in

vanced prices? He does not know.
He cannot cut down on his living ex-

him luxury or two now barely meets

What is this nation coming to when
it drives the most deserving and most
promising students from its educa-
tional institutions? Everything is
high priced, because our country is
so flooded with European gold. Our
Government is trying to rectify af-
fairs, a good step; but why don't pric-
es on the other side of the fence rise?

nor is any rise in sight.

reason is because they can't afford to.
