ACTION FOLLOWS BIG
INCREASE IN PRICES
Chicago Official Suggests That
Public Boycott Merchants Who
Persistln Charging Too Much

NEW YORK, October 24--(Assoeia-
ted Press)--The state food commits
sions of New York and Illinois have
used the mailed fist in dealing with
sugar dealers who, in defiance of the
orders Of Herbert G. Hoover. nation
al food administrator, have persisted
in charging exorbitant prices for sugar.
Yesterday, both commissions took mat.
ters into their own hands, with the
result that Wholesale and retail prices
were fixed which must not be exceeded
by the dealers.
In this state sugar prices were stand
ardized by mutual agreement between
the state food commission and the
sugar men, following a conference be-
tween them. For bulk graduated at
he refinery price of $S35 hundred
vas agreed upon, the Wholesale price
in original packages TO be $500. At
retail not over eleven cents a pound
may be charged ~%.
This action followed upon the rails
ing of the price this week at retail TO
fifteen cents a pound, in apparent de.
fanee of the orders Of Hoover. The
general protest that was made over
such arbitrary action resulted in quick
move on the part of the food COM
mission. ..H. g. "
The refineries refused yesterday, on
orders issued by the food commission,
to sell sugar to candy manufacturers,
il being considered that in view of
he present scarcity of sugar in the
local market, such sales would not be
in accordance with public policy.
Adyices received from Chicago are
to the effect that State Food Commits

attempted to fix maximum prices, is.

suggested that the public boycott the
dealers who did not conform to the
regulations - "
In his attempt to fix. retail prices

lcy announced that they should be
from seven and three.q1arter cents TO
eight and a half cents pound. The
dealers were charging nine and ten

DARIS, October "a - (Asso-
i ciated Press) - A decisive
defeat, shaking the hold of the
Grown Prince on the entire Laon
salient, was inflicted upon the
Germans yesterday by the
French, who swept forward along
six mile front north of the Aisne
and smashed the German line. At
places the Hun defenses were
pierced to depth of two miles,
the poilus plunging ahead under
cover of an intensive barrage
which left the field strewn with
gray-clad corpses. .aw.
Up to last night German pris-
oners to the number of nearly
eight thousand had been taken,
with scores Of heavy guns and
hundreds of machiners and trench
weapons. ~ E.n.. IS .@.~ .r....se
The victory was complete, the
French reaching their detectives
and literally annihilating those
German regiments attempting to
stem their furious advance. The
finest troops of the Crown Prince
were rushed to the defense of the
German lines threatened, but
their assistance was futile and
they shared in the general losses
inflicted by the French guns and
the hacking, charging French in
fantry. .:,.>.'u... So. d.
ATTACK BEGUN EARLY
The advance was begun short
ly after daybreak along a front
from east Of Vauxaillon to Par
gny Filain, south of the forest Of
st. Gobain. For a week the
French have been pounding the
extensive Notifications of the
Germans with heavy shells and
the front lines had been crumbled
and torn away. At the signal for
the French advance, the guns
lifted and poured curtain of fire
behind the second and third line
trenches, while the infantry dash
ed forward. In advance of the
poilus, raking the German lines
with machine guns, hundreds of
French aviators flew, passing up
and down over the German posi-
tons, circling and attacking them
from the rear and driving hun:
dreds, of machine gun men to
cover.
HUN TROOPS FLEE
The greatest advance was scor-
ed by the French center. which
reached and captured the village
Of Chavagnon. Here the Ger
mans attempted to make a stand
and for short time the struggle
was fierce. The French were not
to be resisted, however, and be-
fore their fury the picked troops
of the Crown Prince literally
turned and fed, throwing away
their rifles and equipment in their
decentralization. AS they fed, the
airplanes caught up with them,
sweeping the fleeing ranks with a
hail of bullets. The rout was
complete and the French could
have occupied territory we'll in
advance of Chavagnon had their
orders permitted. The fight of
the Teutons, however, gave the
French the opportunity of con-
solidating their new positions in
safety.
On the Flanders Front, despite
an attempt of the Crown Prince
Rupprecht to regain the positions
lost on Monday, the British and
French lines held firmly except
along the southern fringe Of the
Holthulst forest, where the
French had seized number OF

II ONDON. October "a - CAS-
IL ISOLATED Pressl--A vigorous
debate upon the Irish question
was precipitated in the house OF
commons last night when John
Redmond, leader of the Irish Ma
tionalists, presented motion
.censuring the government for its
OF Irish affairs. The
mover of the resolution stated
that the Irish were becoming dis
satisfied with the fact that APP
.parently no progress is being
made by the Irish convention,
which has now held sessions in
Dublin, Belfast and Cork and
which is marking time while
committee is drawing MP a re-
port to be submitted back to the
general body.
\ Redmond referred bitterly to
the fact that Irishmen arrested
during and following the Sim
Fein uprising in April of 1916
had been deported to England
last February and have since
been held in English prisons,
exiles as well as conyicts.
Replies were made BY Premier
Lloyd George, by Henry +. Duke,
chief secretary for Ireland, and
by Former Premier Asquith.
NEW HUN PLOTS
The secretary for Ireland ex-
planned that the deportation Of
the Sim Fein leaders had been
regarded as necessary in light Of
the knowledge that had reached
the government of fresh attempts
on the part Of the Germans to in
cite the Sim Feiners to revolt
for the second time, under prom
Uses of help. AS it was impossi-
bic for the Germans to carry out
their promises, even if they had
any intention Of trying, it was
thought to be for the best inter
ests of the Sim Feiners them
selves to remind them of the fate
that resulted from the folly of
Easter, 1916. For this reason the
leaders of the Dublin uprising
were taken from their Irish
prisons and transferred to Eng
land. ... ~. ~
