WAR SUMMARY

On none of the war fronts has been an engagement of noteworthy import ance. Nearly 100 persons were killed and more than 400 injured in a mid day bomb dropping raid by some 12 to 15 German airplanes over London, particularly the east end. where live the poorer classes of the population. Ten of those killed and fifty of those wounded were children in a school in in the east end.
 General Pershing and the members of his staff were greeted with enthu- siasm when they landed at Cologne. The American commander and his party proceeded to Paris.
 Aside from raiding operations by the British troops in France and inter mittent artillery duels between the Germans and French in Belgium in the region of Craonne there has been lit- tie activity along the French front.
 Minor operations continue on the Austro-Hungarian-It fronts.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF PAPER INDUSTRY
 DECLARED NECESSITY
News Print Situation Is Ser ious And Must Be Adjust ed, Is Report of Federal Trade Commission.
(By Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Announc- ing failure of its plan to relieve the news print paper situation, and pre- dieting panic prices unless the gov ernment steps in, the federal trade commission today asked congress to authorize government pooling scheme to insure an equal distribu- ton to consumers and fair profit to manufacturers.
 Under the new plan all producing plants would be operated on govern ment account and federal agency would be created to get fair price and effect fair distribution. The Can adian government would be asked to create a similar agency to act jointly with officials in this country in dis tributing the big Canadian output. The recommendation is the outcome of months of investigation by the com mission which undertook the inquiry in response to a senate resolution. The commission hopes for action on its recommendations at this session of congress as it regards the situation facing publishers as a war emergency requiring speedy relief measures.
 The commission also submitted to the senate today a report on book pa per which showed that book paper manufacturers have made enormous profits within the last year. The com mission announces it is considering in stituting proceedings against certain practices which exist in the industry.
