Beneficial Rainfall
Noted at Some Places

Portland, Or, July l0.-Pacific north
west states have received some slight
benefit from a general rain, but only
in spots was the rain heavy enough to
give relief from forest fires or to help
pasturage.
Reports received by the United
States weather bureau here today show
that forest fires in western Washing
ton may have been checked, but that
western Oregon rainfall was too slight
to be Of aid. Eastern Oregon points,
such as Baker with a fall Of 3, receiv-
ed material relief.
Meteorologist Wells said the barcm-
eter is rising rapidly and that little
more rain is expected a this time.
The rain came too late TO aid the wheat
crop, he said. This is the first general
rain for more than a month but gave
little relief to the dryest summer ever
recorded in Oregon.
Seattle got the heaviest rain in tho
northwest states with AS inch. Vancou-
yer (B. C.) beat this with ~.
The following data on rainfall was
received:

RUSSIAN AID EXPEDITION

Russians to unite among themselves and
get order out of disorder. Once organiz-
ed, they must be inspired to unite
against Germany and re-establish an
eastern frontier.
Unity without supplies is regarded
useless. Hence the mission must help
them establish supplies and this means
construction Of ordnance factories; re-
organization Of agriculture ana so on.
1t appears long task. But if it can
succeed, it cheats Germany Of her spoils
and gives Russia fresh, outstanding
place among the nations.
The president today conferred with
Nine Bcchkarova, leader of the fa-
nous Russian women's "battalion Of
death.
The problem of the Russian mission IS

according to Indications today.
Insofar as is possible, the business

who have built up friendly trade with

an outgrowth of the charge that the

1t is broadly hinted that arrests in

following the sinking of the Lusitania,
Germany arranged various sums OF

With the Americans ON the Marne
June. 25.-(By Mail, passed by Cen

American boys in the battle Of Belleau
wood (Bois Des Americans). They conn
posed battalion whose number cannot
be given because of the censorship. Part
Of brigade which cannot be named for
the same reason.
May 80, they were ordered to leave
Courcelles (six miles southeast of Nauf-
chateau) and at five a. m. the next day
they were on the road. in motor trucks
An all day ride took them to Gandelu
1.-TWO miles northwest of Neuilly-La-
Poterie), where they arrived at $3.50 p.
m. Thence. they were ordered to hike
back to May, reaching that town tired
enough to sleep in field, despite ire
quent bombing. At daybreak they took
the road to Pyramid farm and spent
the night there. Next morning they
were ordered to Marigny "a mile and a
half south and east Of Neuilly-La- Po-
terie) for third line support, and by af-
ternoon were established in the third
line from Neuilly wood to Hill 15I "a
front Of about mile extending from
a mile southeast of NeuillyLa-Poterie
eastward).
The night was comparatively quiet,
but the next day the French, under or
ders, started rptiring before the German
advance. A colonial of French chasssurs
ordered the American battalion com
mandcr to fall back. This he did not do.
The French infantry, the chasseurs and
a company Of Malagash (colonials) pass
ed through the American line that day.
About 1900 men in all went through.
The third line held ny the Americsns
then became first line, without immed-
late support. Through the night the Ger
mans sought to feel them out and day
light revealed that the Germans had
crept through the wheat field which the
line faced. A machine gun and ninety
men were discovered in diamond -
formation, the gun at the point of tho
diamond toward the Americans. Half
platoon--thirty Americans-at attacked
and captured the gun. The Germans at
tackled several times in small groups, al
ways losing men and gaining nothing.

PRICE FIXING IS NOT
BAR TO PROF|TEER|NC
IN HOOVER'S OPINION
Finance Committees of Con-
gresS Wrestle With War
Revenue Problems
By L. @. Martin

(unlted Press Staff Core spondent)
Washington, July 10.-Governmental
price fixing will never eliminate profit
eering, food Administrator Hoover de-
clared today in letter to Senator Sims,
chairman of the senate finance commit
tee. Hoover urged heavy profits taxes as
the only means of returning to the pub
lie money taken from them by profit
GERS. He declared, however, that the
price fixing policy will be continued
because of the shortages now existing
in nearly every commodity.
Hoover S lie tier was written at Sim
mon 8 request to give the senate infor-
nation as tci the probable effect of
government price fixing on proposed
war tax legislation. Many menbers
feared price fixing had in many in.
stances SO reduced profits that inereas-
es in war profits or excss profits taxes
would be impossible without injuring
business.
Hoover's S letter disposes of this theo-
ry, in the view of Senator Simmons.
Hoover declared, for instance, that if
the price of sugar had not virtually
been fixed by the food administration
through agreements between produe
ers and refiners, sugar would be re-
failing at 20 cents pound This, he
said, would have added $500, 0,0OO, 900 o
year to the country s sugar bill.
But even with the price fixed, Hoov
er said, beet sugar producers will prof
it heavily, some making as high 10t
per cent. The only way the government
can reach these profits Hoover point
ed out, is through taxation.
Extra profits out of war are hate
iful, writes Hoover. "That any mar
would take a profit in greater meas
ure because the goods he produces are
needed for war or because Of the scare
ity created by war, is abhorrent to al
decent people and rightly so, when the
youth of the nation are being called
upon to sacrifice all they have.

Rome, July l0-Italian forces in AL

They have reached the west bank of
the lower and middle Semeni rivers, an
advance of about Is miles since Sunday
and are progressing on both sides of

said.
''We have repulsed the enemy center
and are advancing astride the Osum. I"
The SeEeni river, formed by june;
tion of the Devoli and Osum, flows into
the Adriatic 12 miles north of the
mouth of the Vojutza-the original
Italian line. The course of the Semeni
is in general southwesterly direction,
while that of the Voiutza is north
westerly. The greatest Italian ad-
vance between these two streams evil
IDENTIFY is at a point where they are
about fifteen miles apart.
Fieri, capture of which was an
nouneed in yesterdays italian official
statement, lies between the Semeni and
the Voputza, about eight miles from
the sea.
The 0sum river rises in southeastern
Albania and flows nothwesterly into
the Semeni. 1t crosses the present bat
tie lines about forty miles from the
sea.
1t is evident that the important city
of Berat is about to be, or already has
been encompassed by the Italiar
