Prices Outlined.
PACKERS ASK U. s. TO ACT

Washington, April l7,-Legislation
to empower the Council of National
Defense to supervise distribution Of
food and if necessary, fix maximum
and minimum prices, was being
framed today as one OF the results
Of yesterdays conference between the
great Chicago meat packers and Sec
rotary Houston OF the Department OF
Agriculture.
Headed by J. Ogden Armour. a
delegation of the foremost packers,
including Edwin Morris, E. A.
Cudahy, Thomas F. Wilson and L.
+. Swift, assured Secretary Houston
Of their utmost cooperation and vol
unfairly proposed that the govern
tnent take steps TO fix prices through
the Council of National Defense. The
licensing of food distributing agencies
so the government may trace any
movement of middlemen or others to
monopolize supply or force raises in
price is one of the features OF the
plan the packers proposed.
As their own "bit' in defending the
nation the packers. offered a plan to
distribute their products at a mini
mum OF profit to themselves and one
of them estimated the saving to- the
public would approximate at least
$l00,000,00O a year.
Secretary Houston favors the plan
and will have part in drafting leg
islation to put it into effect. The
power to be invested in the Council
of National Defense, it is said, would
be used only when the national in
terests required it. Whenever there
was evidence of price fixing or mo-
nopoly Of supply the council would

Greater Victory Than Somme.

-~---"~-~"
Measured by the amount of terri
tory freed, the victory does not COM
pare with the SomTe offensive, which
opened a month ago, but viewed from
the amount Of destruction done to the
enemy's armed forces and the dam
age to his military prestige, il is q
far greater success. Here there can
be no question either OF a previously
planned retreat or surprise. The
enemy expected an attack and made
every precaution to defeat it.
From Scissors to Craonne the Ger
man line runs along series of hills
of an average height of 500 feet. with
deep valleys between. The attackers
advanced up the valleys under cross
fire from each flank, but the artillery
curtain, on new plan invented by
a British general, was so effective that
the operation was carried out at less
cost than was expected.
The weak point Of the German line
is from Craonne to Rheims, where the
ground Is more level. Here the at
tack made more progress and the
danger Of a rupture of the line be-
came so imminent that the Germans
threw in all available reserves. The
reserves were smashed by the French
field of artillery, which kept close on
the heels Of the waves OF infantry.

ELEVEN PERSONS KILLED

Berlin, April II (Via London AN
official announcement by the war Of
fee says that eleven persons have
been killed, twenty-nine injured and
considerable damage done to the uni
versity building by an air attack on
Freiburg.
The official statement follows:
"On Saturday at noon an enemy air
squadron OF twelve airplanes attacked
the open town of Freiburg in Breis-
gau. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the
attack was repeated by two further
squadrons, totaling twenty-three air
planes.
ITO this nefarious attack several
people unfortunately fell victims.
Seven women, three men and one SOL
der were killed and seventeen women,
eight men and two children injured.
"The enemy airmen selected as OBJ
jectives the new municipal theater, in
stitutes and inhrmaries. The anatomy
section OF the university was consid-
erably damaged. Owing to our eff
fective counter measures the attacks
could not be fully executed.
an the course OF air battles which
resulted two enemy airmen were shot
down near Schlettstadt and Markirch.
A third was shot down in an air bat
tie combined with a bombardment
from the ground. All three airplanes
were Of English type with English oc-
cupants.
Defend Attack on Hospital Ship.
1.-THE leader of the attack, an Eng
lish lieutenant colonel, fell into our
hands. According to his statement
and the contents of fly sheet which
was thrown down, the attack was in
reprisal for the torpedoing Of the
Gloucester Castle British hospital
hospital ship, recently sunk by a
German submarine. We must reso-
lutely contest the right to make such
attacks. In justification our govern
ment gave England to understand in
time enough that il could not longer
tolerate the passage Of so-called hos
pital ships in the previously defined
zone. II the English, despite our
warning, misuse the Red Cross and
carry il on transports in the war zone
they must bear the consequences OF
their action; but to attack an open
town for revenge is cheap glory.
There are no objects OF military i'm
portancc in Frciburg TO justify the
attack"

has ever been in any country at one
time in all history. The Liberty

the loan and of loans to come will be

The two billion loan was taken by
