GOVERNMENT AT THE WHEEL

We are learning much, and shall
learn much more in the future, from
Great Britain's handling of her pro-
blems in economic and commercial
readjustment since the beginning of
the war.
A recent report shows wildly how
far some of these processes have gone
and indicates to some extent how
British business reached to the new
conditions.
England today controls" more then
5000 industrial plants. This control
does not affect the management-blt
only profit and labor, All profit Of
such companies in excess of % par
cent. beyond the average met earn
ings of the two financial years net
before the war are to paid to the Gov
eminent Exchequer.
"The Government of Great Britain"
says the report, decides today what
may be exported and what may lie IN
ported, how much beer shall be brew
ed, how much flour the miller shall
extract from the wheat, what sweets
shall be manufactured, how much SUI
gar may be used in icing on cakes,
how much the individual shall Ply Tor

customer to buy, or a storekeCrer to
more than six cents, or any other
sweetmeat that costs moro than four
cents an ounce. The candy manufac-
turers have been prohibited during
1917 from using for confectionery
more than so per cent. of the amount
of sugar used by them during 1915.
Not a commodity, not an industry but
has come under the control of an ON
niscient Government. The manufac
turer carries on his ordinary bust
ness. The Government has decided
that it is an essential industry to the
country. man buys new wooden
garment. The Government has given
permission for the wool to be sold for
private consumption. He buys note
book. The Government has granted
a license for the importation of the
paper. He buys a pocket cigar light
er. The Government has collected a
ak of twelve cents on it. Many things
he cannot buy at all.
Owners of uncontrolled establish
ments are not much freer, but are per-
mitted to retain 40 per cent of excess
war profits, whereas owners of con-
trolled establishments must hand over

all but 20 per cent to the Govern
ment
Automobile manufacturers have
suffered very little for the reason that
although they not not allowed to man
ufacture pleasure cars, they have de-
voted their equipment very largely to
the making of trucks, engines for
aeroplanes and to other essential
work.
Because of control of industries
through prohibition of employment of
certain classes, restriction of use of
raw materials, priority and other
measures, business in Great Britain
has found it necessary to intensity its
selling as well as its manufacturing.
Many concerns have found themsel-
yes within the scope of the govern
ment control prohibiting employment
of males between the ages of Is and
CT. Since this restriction applied to
selling as well as to manufacturing
maintain distribution. For this and
other reasons advertising III many
lines has been forced to take the place
of personal selling.

EVERYONE WORKS
over IN FRANCE
Spirit of Cooperation Is Excellent,
Declares Lieut.. Paul Berthicr, of
French Ordnance Engineers.

Everyone works and there is a fine
spirit of cooperation among the peo-
pie of France, according to Lieut.. Paul
Berthier and other officers of the mis-
sion of French ordnance engineers in
America, where they are engaged in
important work for the French Gov
eminent.
Men, women, and children are all
gladly doing their part to free the
land from the invader, and although
long hours are the rule, there is no
complaint, for everyone realizes that
that only by supreme eXertions will it
be possible.
In the great rush of the German in
vasion, back in 1914, France, fearing
for her very life, summoned every
man to arms. This was a mistake,
for munitions factories were denuded
of their skilled workmen and many of
them gave their lives in stemmng

When the realization came that the
munitions factories were hampered
and that their men could serve better
there than in the army, problem was
presented. For these men were al
ready in the army, and no one was
left outside except the men past 4S
years of age, those physically unfit,
and few great specialists. Even the
managers of the shops were in the

ON THE MARINE, June 7.--The Ameri-

attack on the Germans late yesterday,
captured the village of Torcy. They
drove their way into Bouresches,
northwest of Chateau Thierry. This
morning they were holding Torchy in
the face of repeated counter attacks
ard were pushing back the Germans
through the streets of Bouresches.
Virtually all their detectives in this
attack were attained. The American
plan did not include the taking of
Torchy but the marines swept into it
and drove out the Germans.
One point where their objective was
not reached was BelIeau Wood. The
fiercest fighting is continuing here.

WASHINGTON, June THE be-

circles here today.
This theory is strengthened by the
torpedoing Wednesday of the British
steamship Harpathian, hundred miles
off the Virginia coast, news of which
was announced in the navy dispatches
published today. In the torpedoing
of the Harpathain the raiders struck
without warning. The ship was sunk
within seven or eight minutes but the
crew managed to get away and landed
late yesterday and at a port in the
Chesepeak Bay.
