Military Com IN ttee Ar
reigns Control and Expen-
ditures-Brand Program
"Unsystematic.' 81
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Aug. 22.-The Senate
military subcommittee today submit
ted a report scathingly arraigning
early days in aircraft production. An
officer criticised the failure to adopt
successful foreign airplanes and mo-
tors as a waste Of millions, and con-
demned dominance Of the program by
inexperienced manufacturers, and
'unsystematic, ineffective" organiza-
ton. It also criticised the excessive
profits of manufacturers. 1t assigned
part Of the blame to Congress and
said that instances Of dishonesty and
official corruption were left to the
Department of Justice for investiga
ton.
It condemned chiefly the failures
under the former Aircraft Production
Board and Signal Corps control, 1t
noted great improvements since John
.. Ryan and Major General kenly
were placed in charge, but strongly
urged "one-man control. 1t praised
much that had been accomplished and
SAID that much could be said in eX-
tenuation regarding disappointm2nts,
detailed delays and failures, including
transportation to General Pershing of
defective machines during more than
a years efforts to obtain domination
i'll the air.
The committee predicted that I'VE
are approaching the period when guam
tity production may soon be hoped
for
Chairman Thomas of the committee
put into record a letter from How
ard Coffin, former chairman of the
Aircraft Production Board, denying
that he or any civilian was repson-
sible for delays in the army program
He said decisions regarding types ana
contracts were in the hands of the
War and Navy departments. He said
it was significant that the Navy pro-
gram, bearing the same relation to
the board as that of the army, had
gone ahead at high speed.

City Council Has Under
Cons liberation Plan to
Raise Wages About 10 Per
Cent to Offset I'll. e. Of l..

Facing continually increased def
cits in their household expenses due
to the high cost of living, the city en-
ployes have petitioned the council for
raises in salary.
While action on these requests will
not be formally taken until next Mon
day evening, when the budget for the
current year is adopted, it was under
stood around the city hall that in
creases would be given all along the
line.
The present payroll is about $2,-
coo u month, half of which is paid
out of the general fund and the re-
mainder from self-sustaining depart
ments. The increases contemplated,
it is thought, will raise the total to
$4,000, or an increase of 10 per cent.
That the merited raises are of very
modest dimensions in comparison with
those given to employees Of private
corporations during the past year or
so is shown by the fact that while the
cost Of living has increased about 35
per cent during the year the munich
pal force expect but approximately 10
per cent raise in salaries.
The wages of day labor, WHICH the
city will require from time to time,
will SHOW the greatest increase It is
SAID the city will be compelled to pay
approximately 25 per. cent more fol
this class of labor than formerly in
order to obtain help in competitor with
those having private work
Except in few isolated cases there
have been no increases of salary
granted to those engaged on public
work The contrast is the continual
increases granted to those working
for private individuals

(By Associated Press)

Paris, Aug. 22-The Germans were
forced back from one to two miles!
last night, on the twenty mile front
from Lassigny 10 the Ailette river.
The French maintained contact with
the retreating enemy. East of the
Disc the French occupied lie Plemont.
Thiescourt and Cannactancourt Vile.
and reached the Divette river The
French line along the Disc east of
Noyon extends from Sempigny to Bre-
tigny. Further east, the French took
Bourguignon and st. Paul au Bois.
The French reached the Ailette at La
Quincy Basse and also took the west
ern outskirts of Pommiers. French
military men say that General Hum
bert's advance between the Disc and
Matz rivers makes the early fall Of
Noyon inevitable. 1t is not expected
the Germans will try to hold the All
lette line, but they may retreat to the
Oise
The British attacked the Germans
between the Somme and the Ancre.
They crossed the Arras- -Bapaume rail
way and reached Neuf Berguin, north
east of Merville They captured more
than two thousand prisoners yester-
day German positions north Of Bail
leul were captured last night The
French are continuing to press back
the Germans along the Disc The Teu-
tons are stubbornly resisting. The
fighting is favoring the French. who
have taken numerous prisoners.
General Byng's army is encounter
ing desperate resistance in the Ba-
paume region. The British are hold
ing Achiet LIE Grande, which changed
hands several times.
On the Disc front. the French, from
the heights of lie Plemont, are watch
ing the Germans retreat northward
The British are holding virtually all
of the Arras-A Albert railroad Sue.
cesses in the north enabled the tanks
to pass beyond the railroad and some
are reported operating as far east as
the Bapaume-Arras road.
In their new attack today the Brit
ish apparently had taken their final
objectives on the right and were well
inside the enemy lines. They crossed
the Ancre south of Albert.
The French have crossed the Ailette
between Guny and Champs and have
reached the Disc canal between Varen-
mes and Morlan court.
The sudden French attack caused
the retreat of German division which
was preparing a counter blow This
precipitated a panic in the ranks of
another reserve division.
