FEDERAL CONTROL 'OF PRINT PAPER
 AND PULP URGED
Republican A.P. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, Oct. IA report recommending government operation of the print paper and pulp industries during the war and arraigning what it calls the defiant attitude of print paper producers was filed today by the senate printing committee. It will await ac- ton at the December session.
 The report says the federal trade commissions findings show beyond any question that the print paper in dustry, in its greed for excessive prof. its, had imposed most unjust burden on the American press which faces a serious disaster if relief cannot speed fly be had from the oppressive prices now eXacted for print paper It adds that the commission in it's recent in- vestigation, exhausted every resource at it's command to obtain relief for the publishers, but has been able to get only a small measure of relief owing ito the defiant attitude assumed by the principal producers of print paper and lack of authority for the committee to enforce it's finding as to fair and sl easonable price.
 Under a resolution introduced by Senator Smith of Arizona and reported by the committee for passage, the trade 
 control the production and distribution of print paper and mechanical and chemical pulp in the United States. All print paper and pulp mills and agencies would be operated or govern ment account and their products pooled in the commissions hands during the war emergency and equitabiy distrib- uted at a price based on production and distribution cost plus a fair profit per ton.
 Provision is made in the resolution for cooperation with the Canadian government and for limiting imports into the United States during the war to shipments for government account.
 The committee report points out that as a result of the committees investi- gations seven leading news print man. ufacturers have been indicted for viol ating the Sherman anti trust law, and the commission has entered formal complaint against the book paper man. ufacturers' bureau of statistics and twenty three member companies Of that bureau. but that up to this time, neither the indictments nor the com plaints have afforded any measure of protection to the publishers.
 Most of the newspapers of the coun- try, the report says, are now up to inc point where they must soon renew contracts and if adequate relief Is to be had it must be without waiting for the pI osecution of the indictments and complaint.
 The committee" it concludes, sub mits to the senate whether II is better to safeguard the continuance of free press in this country by assuring it an adequate supply of print paper at fair and reasonable price or whether 10 permit further increase in the excess i've profits of the paper industry, which the federal trade commission declares is about to exact s17,500,000 more Tn ! excessive profits from the American publishers who are loyalty and patriot ically supporting their government III this fateful hour"

 Since the great advance of the mid week the British infantry has kept to the trenches and shell craters, except where forayS were called for to realign the new front eOr counter attacks were necessary to hold back weak German attempts to re-capture lost terrain. But the big guns never ceased their activity, and day in and day out great masses of steel have been blasting the German points which are mapped out for capture when the new drive is launched.
 Particularly heavy is the lombard ment in the region running from Lan- gemarck to Zonnebek and especially to the east of the latter town, where the wedge of the British has been pushed in almost within striking distance of the Ostend-Lille road
 When the new offensive will be sprung cannot be predicted Several days may elapse before Haig has suf- ficiently pounded the Germans to war rant sending his men across No Mains land or the process of demolition al- ready may have advanced to the point where the first grey streaks of dawn of Monday may see its commencement

Under a heavy artillery fire the Russians later were compelled to evacuate the position.
