Washington, June Sweeping rec
concentrations for regulation of the
canning industry has been made by
President Wilson by the federal trade
commission, on the basis of inequities
discovered in an exhaustive investtga-
ton. Legislation would be required
to put some of the recommendations
into effect, while others may be made
operative under the food law.
Gamers were found to have aver
aged 80 per cent profit in 1917, COM
pared with 8 per cent in the year be-
fore. The food administration, the re-
port says, was not entirely successful
in preventing large advances in the
prices of raw vegetables last year.
Rulings which somewhat checked the
price of finished products came too
late to prevent unusually large mar
gins over costs, particularly in tomato
and corn canning. Army and navy

The influence of the large meat
packing corporations in the canning
trade was given especial attention by
the commission, which asserted that
wholesale grocers consider the meat
packers their strongest rivals. Swift

battle front, but are held at all points,
the French war office ANNOUNCED to-
day.
Particularly violent enemy attacks
were directed at the village of Chevy,
south of the Ourcq (near where an
American unit recaptured Neuilly)
but they were all stopped with heavy
boche losses. The fighting on the
southern and eastern portions of the
battle front was confined to artillery
activity. y
Local attacks continued yesterday
evening and last night along the
northern outskirts OF Cariepont Give
miles south OF Noyon.) Two German
attacks were stopped by French ma
chine guns in the Autreches region
(three; miles north OF the Aispe.) 9th
er attempts failed least of Dommiers
(six miles southwest of Soissons) and
toward Corey Give miles south of

North of Corey, infantry actions
with the help of tanks enabled the
French to rectify their lines on the
borders of the forest Of villers-Cot-
terets.
South Of the Oprcq, violent Ger

north OF Neuilly) and southwest of

MOVE TITO TOPEKA
Kansas University Would Send Away
Child Welfare Department.

The state university alumni asso-
citation has heartily approved a sug-
gestion to divorce the child welfare
department from the university. They
have recommended that the depart
ment be removed to Topeka and placed
in the state house. There is no reason
for the association of the department
and the state school, the alumni asso-
citation declared.
1t is probable that action will be
taken at any early date to remove the
welfare department to Topeka, altho
the state house is already badly
crowded. No announcement has been
made by the state executive council
concerning quarters for the depart
ment.
In addition to voting for the divorce
ing OF. the university and the welfare
department., the alumni association
urged the purchase of additional cam
pus ground at Mount Dread. Recon-
mendations were made to the state
legislature for the purchase Of ground
south of the campus. now held by
private owners.
