Excessive Charging.
distant Huns. In the fore

Washington, July 2-The federal
an exhaustive investigation, reported
to the Senate that profiteering on a
tremendous scale in practically all
the basic commodities of life was
prevalent.
"Inordinate greed and bare-faced
fraud" as well as "war pressure for
heavy production" the commission
reported as the causes.
Reappraisements Of properties were
made by the great concerns, when it
became evident that the government
was about to fix prices on a basis of
return on investment, the report says,
and salaries, allowances and expenses
were in many instances padded to
show increased cost Of conducting
business.
The outstanding feature Of it's in
vcstigation. the commission reported,
was the evidence of a tendency to
increase and maintain prices against
the forces of competition.
Of all the big profits disclosed by
the investigation, the report says, the
profits of the meat packers and those
allied with them and of the -four mill
ers stand foremost, despite the fixing
of prices by the government.
Manipulations of the market by the
five great packers Swift,
Morris, Wilson and Cudahy-the COM
mission asserts, embrace every device
that is useful to them without regard
to law.
The report charges that the five
concerns have monopolistic control OF
the meat industry and ARE reaching
for like domination in other products"

Out From Atlantic Coast.
Washington, July 2.-That German
submarines are still lurking off the
American coast is indicated by recent
navy department messages.
These tend to show that operations
on wide circle, farther out than
the original attacks on coastwise yes
sells. Apparently the German inten-
ton still is to make desperate try
for troopships.
The U-boats evidently are playing
a crafty waiting game. as no ships
have been bagged since the British
Dwinsk was torpedoed nearly two
weeks ago.
The reason for operations far out
from the coast is the American patrol
was getting too hot on the trail. Navy
men say it is part of the submarine
strategy to move about keeping the
defenders guessing.
