Federal Trade Board Recon mends That Government

Washington, Aug. 9-Investigation of the packing industry of the country by the Federal Trade Commission cul- minated yesterday in an announce ment that the commission had recom- mended to President Wilson that the government commander and operate for the public benefit stock yards, cold storage plants, warehouses and refrigerator and cattle cars.
 Monopolistic control of the essential food supply not only of the United States and its Army and Navy, but also of the Entente countries was charged by the commission against the five great packing companies: Swift, Armour, Morris, Cudahy and Wilson.
 The last named company, the com missions report said, is controlled by three of the youngest banking groups in the United States-Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, Guaranty Trust Co. and the Chase National Bank.
 Further close affiliations between the packing industry and financial in terests was reported.
 AAAC OOlAlIAltcolO1i ISFOIl "IS lIl6 third made in it's general investigation of food supplies ordered by President Wilson and Congress last year. The report was made public through the White House without further com ment than that it had been presented July 5 and had not been made public before because the President desired first to get full information.
 The commission said the power of the five packing companies "has been and is being unfairly and illegally used" to:
 Manipulate live stock markets
 Restrict interstate and international supplies of food.
 Control the prices of dressed meats and other foods.
 Defraud both the producers of food and consumers.
 Crush effective competition.
 Secure special privileges from rail- roads, stock yard companies and mu- nicipalities.

MUST STOP MAKING PASSENGER MOTORS
Automobile Men Advised to Put Plants on an Entire
 War Basis by Jan. 1.

Washington, Aug. 10-Manufac- turers of passenger automobiles were advised by the War Industries Board yesterday to convert their plants to lOO per cent. war work as rapidly as possible, and to place them on that basis not later than January 1, 1919, in letter addressed to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. In no other way, the letter stated, could they be assured of the continu- ance of their industry or the preser- vatton of their organizations
 The letter was in response to a pro- posal made by Hugh Chalmers on the part of the manufacturers voluntar- fly to curtail the passenger car in- dustry 50 per cent. The War In- dustries Board declared that the present situation regarding steel and other materials need for war work gave little assurance of material for the manufacture of passenger auto mobiles, even after providing for war requirements.
 Pending receipt by the board of sworn inventories of materials on hand requested July 16, no materials will be permitted passenger car man. ufacturers, the letter states
 Although the communication states further action will be taken when the inventories are returned, little promise is held out by members of the War Industries Board to the au- tomobile industry unless it's entire manufacturing capacity is devoted to- ward war work.

 ed Again
Saturday. August 10

Mentioned in the casualty list re- ceived today appears the name of Private Patrick Grogan, whose resi- dence is given as No. 369 Gregory street, Bridgeport, Conn. This makes the second time that Grogan's $ name appears upon the casualty lists since war has been declared.
 Grogan, whois a member of the 165th Regiment, the old Fighting 69th Y" enlisted in New York city at the outbreak of hostilities between this country and Germany and left shortly afterward with his regiment for France.
 In the battle of Neuve Chapelie he was awarded the French War Cross, and while recuperating at a French hospital from the effects of severe wounds received in this engagement last March he wrote telling his brother-n-law, Lawrence, Hayes, with whom he resided at Gregory street, of the honors conferred upon him. In this engagement he was struck with flying shrapnel and stated that when he was brought to the hospital had fifty-six pieces of shrapnel removed from his leg, as well as having a bad ankle wound treated.
 The many friends in Bridgeport of Private Grogan will have good cause to feel proud of him when they heA- that again he has been in the thick of the fighting and although severely injured expects to be back in the first line when it moves on its way to Berlin.

Bolsheviki Agents in Mos cow Take English and
 French Diplomats.
REPORT COMES FROM
 THE CONSUL GENERAL
Lord Robert Cecil Says No Steps Will be Taken in Ab-
 sence of a Government.

london, Aug. 1O-Robert H. B. Lockhart, acting consul gen eral in Moscow and six British CTS attached to his staff and several French diplomatic agents have been arrested in Moscow by the Bolsheviki, says the Daily Mail.
 The newspaper attributes to the foreign office that there is no reason to believe it is true that the British at Archangel shot representatives of the Soviet, and adds:
 There was some shooting before &Schangel incidental to the landing G;aerations, but this could only have tIen in reply to shots fired at our ferces by the Bolshevik forces. The arrest of Lockhart, is, of course, an act of hostility in international law ana will be so regarded by us. It Is possible a rcprisaI for our landing at Archangel and in the Murmark re- gion,'
 The Evening News says J. O. Ward TOD, the British consul at Moscow, was arrested along with R. H. B. Lockhart. Messrs. Lockhart and Wardrop remained In Moscow when the diplomatic staff went to Arch angel.
 Mir. Lockhart is a British consular agent who was sent to Moscow some time ago to maintain unofficial reIa- tions with the Bolsheviki. There have been no reports that any of those un- der arrest have been harmed.
 Lord Robert Cecil, under secretary of state for foreign affairs, comment ing on the situation, said:
 If there was an organized govern ment in Moscow of course it would mean war. But as there is no real government, no Immediate steps will be taken affecting the Bolsheviki."
 Amsterdam, Friday, Aug. g - The semi official Bolsheviki organ Izvestia, according to the Frankfort Zeitung, reports the arrest of prominent Brit ish and French civilians by the Bol- sheviki. French and Siberian officers also have seized by the Bolsheviki
 London, Aug. 10-For reprisaI ot the arrest at Moscow of R. H. B. Lockhart, British consular agents al Moscow and other British officials, by the Bolshevii, M Litvinoff, the Boi- shevik emissary in London, has been placed under police supervision, the Daily Mail states.

The apex is six miles wide and runs from Rainecourt to Warvillers. The important Peronne-Roye high road and railway is within short cannon range and British scouts are reported within one mile of Chaulnes, the nid- dle point of the Peronne-Roye line.
 Much material and supplies were left behind, and even entire railroad troops, were captured by the on rush. ing British.
 Prisoners taken by the Allies now total 24,O00. Between 200 and 300 guns also were captured. French troops have taken 4,000 of the ag- gregate of prisoners. Three colonels and their entire regimental staffs were captured by the French. The Allied losses have not been heavy.
 Apparently the Germans have made little effort at prolonged defense in the center and Berlin makes no claim that they have. How effective was the first Allied smash Thursday is shown by the German report Of the fighting that day which says the AL lies reached the artillery liIes.
 Tn Allied advance in Picardy has yet no apparent effect on the German positions between the esle and the Aisne. The enemy still c1ings to the hills north of the Aisne and has made attacks north of Rheims which were repulsed. Across the esle from Fishes the Americans have occupied Fismette and added another bridgehead to the position north of the river which is being enlarged rapidly. Pressure on the remainder of the sector continues.
 British and French diplomatic agents are reported to have been ar- rested in Moscow by the Bolsheviki and Great Britain has demanded the release of R. H. B. Lockhart, the leader of the British contingent. Pre- nier Lenine is reported unof1cially to have sent an ulimatum to Japan re- i garding Siberia.

The line as it stood early today was as follows: From the east of Morlan- court to Chapilly, on the Somme, thence through Morocourt, where it turns sharply to the east to Proyatty' thence to the southeast to Ralnecourt and Lihons; thence southwest to Me- haricourt, Rouvray, Bouchoir, Anvil elrs, Davenscourt and Grat10us, on the Avre; thence southeast through Faverolles, Piennes, Rollot, Cuvilly and Ressons- -Sur-Matz to Vignemont.
 The German retreat east of Montdid- dier is reported to be nasty, and 1t IS said large quantities of war material have been abandoned by the retiring enemy. The territory over which the Germans must retire affords few good defensive positions west of the Novon-Nesles canal and the Somme river after it has turned south near Peronne It is not believed in Lon don that the Germans will attempt organized resistance west of this line.
 Nothing is said in despatches this morning of the situation in Flanders where it was reported yesterday that the Germans were retiring from the extreme side of the Lys salient. There are no new reports of advances along the Vesle and Aisne.
 Their main positions east of Amiens shattered by the Franco-Britlsh thrust, the Germans continue to re- treat with the Allies in close pursuit.
 Enemy resistance on the extremlties of the attacking front has been broken and late reports from the battle front say the enemy is retiring in great haste Aerial observers say the Ger mans are in full retreat eastward across the Picardy plains toward the old Hirdenburg line. German arn- munition dumps are being blown up. The Allied line has now been driven forward in the center more than Il miles and the maximum advance is 13 miles made by the French.

Baker Plans Draft Rule to Prevent Wholesale Dis
 ruption of Families.

Washington, Aug. 10-Marriage Is co be automatically cause for de- ferred classification in the draft. This was indicated yesterday hy Secretary Baker, who said he had the matter under consideration and that it would be decided when the new regulations are given out.
 New regulations are in course of preparation, MT. Baker said, to govern classifying the millions who will reg ister when the so-called man power bill extending the age limits to IS and 45 inclusive becomes law, Im- portant changes affecting the major ity of families in the country will be made in the regulations as they now exiCt.
 Two probable changes will affect the relationship which marriage auto matically bears to deferred classified tioR and also the present reqeuire- meEt which calls on the individual to stats whether or not he claims defer red classification. The:e has been a general opinion that both these phases of the present draft law should be reconsidered by the War Department, and the reason for change is all the more aparent when change is all the more apparent when up to 45 inclusive.
 Under present regulations marri- age does not necessarily constitute a cause for deferred classification.
 As Secretary Baker indicated yes terday he does not propose to have a wholesale breaking up of family life if it eau be avoided. He is of the opinion that enough man power can be marshalled without going to this extreme.
