SENATE AND HOUSE
AGREE ON RECESSES
FIRST TO BE FROM MIDDLE OF
JUNE TO AUGUST 1-oTHER
PERIOD SCHEDULED.
SEEK POSTAL RATE REPEAL
When Bill Goes Into Conference In
fiuental Lobby VIII Agree On All
Other Professionalism Demand
Appeal of Postal Measure.

Washington.-Rece of both houses
of Congress from June Is or 20 after
appropriation bills are out of the way,
until August l consideration of the
revenue bill, which the ways and
means committee is meantime to
frame, from August until passed in
the House, about August 10, and then
a 30-day recess of the House pending
Senate action on the revenue bill, is a
plan assented to by Senate and House
leaders of both parties.
Speaking in the House on the reve-
nue. situation, Majority Leader Kitch-
in expressed the belief that "one tf
the shrewdest and most powerful lob
bies" that ever came to Congress is
back of the movement for tax legisla-
ton at this time He declared the
lobby had for its purpose repeal of
the increase on second-class postal
matter.
The House was warned by Mr.
Kitchin that when the time comes for
the bill to go into conference it will
be shown that the influential lobby
will agree to all provisions, but will
insist on a repeal of the postal rates
He said the president and the secre-
tary Of the treasury might insist that
the revenue bill was an important war
measure, that a minor matter such aS
the postal rate increase should not be
allowed to hold up the legislation and
in that way the lobby would succeed.
He said he was prepared to oppose q
repeal of the postal increase.

HUNS GREAT DRIVE
HAS BEEN RESUMED
IN FLANDERS ALLIES RECOVER
ED WHAT LITTLE GROUND WAS
LOST AND TAKE PRISONERS.

London. - Germany's long-awaited
offensive on the battle front in France
opened at two points where it had
been expected-between Rheims and
scissors and in Flanders. In the lat
ter region. of course, it is another at
tempt to reach the hill positions west
of KENNEL and to pinch the British
army holding the Ypres salient. The
attack in the Rheims-Soissons sector
perhaps is formidable blow by which
the Germans hope to shatter the
French army, a similar attempt
against the British further north hay
ing failed.
Launching a heavy offensive at
dawn against the French in the
Locre Voormezeele sector, the Ger
mans failed of their detectives at vir-
tually all points. AT some points the
defending patrols were driven in, but
vigorous counter-attacks threw the
Germans back at most places. Virtuas.
ly the entire French line was -re-es.
tablished.
Hard fighting at this hour still con-
tined on the northern part of the bat
tie front Just south of DicKebusch
Lake the Germans forced their way
into the French line for distance OF
800 yards and also got into the front
line system at another point in this
region. In both these places the enc
my was clinging desperately to his
nurlxy hut 70
French were dealing with the situa-
tion, which appeared to be satisfac-
tory at the latest reports. One hun
dred prisoners already have been sent
back to the French cages.
This attack was perhaps 'prelimJ-
nary to larger operations and appar-
emily has been undertaken for the pur-
pose of regaining the high ground
which the French wrested from the
enemy May 90
Such positions as Bruloose and
neighboring places would be valuable
acquisitions for the enemy if the Ger
mans were to develop general at
tack in this region later
II is interesting to note in connec-
ton with the drive in Flanders that
the Germans considered their attacks
on the Lys front in April to be fail
ure, according to prisoners. 1t is
stated that while some troops have
been congratulated for the way they
fought, they have been told that their
failure was the result of bad staff
work. The general in command of
operation here was relieved of his
command

SPOILED MEAT SOLD
TO AMERICAN ARMY
MORRIS & CO. AND WILSON g. CO.
CHARGED WITH SUPPLYING
MEAT UNFIT TO EAT.

Washington. The sale of thous-
ands of pounds of spoiled meat and
other foods to Camp Travis, Tex, IS
charged against Morris & Co. and
Wilson & Co. in complaint issued
by the Federal Trade Commission
The complaint says the food was
unfit for human consumption. Most
of it was detected and condemned, but
it is said some of it may have been
, passed and consumed. Details were
withheld. The announcement and cor.
respondence given out with it, how
ever, show the alleged offenses oc-
Cured last December and are the
same upon which Indictments were
obtained in Texas by the Department
of Justice after an investigation by
the Food Administration. The indict-
ments were dropped because they
were returned under the section of
the food bill which carries no pen
atty.
Since then the Food Administra-
ton and the commission have contin-
ued their investigation. If the com.
plant should be sustained the COM
mission could do no more than order
the packers Ito cease and desist'
from the practices. Upon repetition,
offenders may be hailed into a federal
court.
A further report to the Food Ad-
ministration from e. A. Peden, fed.
eral administrator for Texas, is ex-
pected soon. Officials of the admins
tration say they probably will find
some penalty even if only on the
ground Of food wastage.
Correspondence between Mr.. Pedon
and Mr.. Boyden, chief of the Enforce
ment Division of the Food Admins
tration, shows that Mr.. Peden report
ed his belief that the trouble was the
attempt of the packers to do business
without proper facilities. It is charg-
ed that the unfit chickens were pre-
pared in unclean surroundings by
barefoot Mexicans in an unscreened
room and only partially cleared.
