Bad Distribution.
PLENTY ICE IN STORAGE

That some of the ice manufacturers in
Washington are not fully cooperating
with him and that they alone were re-
sponsible for the empty ice boxes In
hundreds Of homes Saturday night and
Sunday, is the opinion of Clarence r.
Wilson, District food administrator.
He made this plain at meeting in his
office yesterday afternoon, which was
attended by the local ice makers and
nul1ber of retail ice men. He reminded
the manufacturers of an agreement be-
tween them and the local food adminis-
fration, saying he was convinced some
of them were showing they were not
living up to it. Furnished with figures
from the various plants showing their
capacity, production and storage ca
pacity. he declared that it was evident
that some were deliberately falling to
produce a sufficient quantity of ice.
The manufacturers offered as excuses
labor difficulties and scarcity Of am
monia, but Mr.. Wilson said these ex-
cuses will not be accepted In the future
He said they must devise means Of OBJ
and that he would see that the am
monia was supplied in sufficient guam
titles
Distribution Bad, Is Claim.
Mr. Wilson asked each man present
whether there was any shortage in ice
In Washington, and nobody said there
was a shortage. He then charged that
there had been faulty distribution and
made 1t plain that he proposed to see
that the people of Washington obtain
sufficient ice for their needs
Retail Dealers Make Complaint.
Some of the retail ice dealers COM
planned that they had been denied
their usual ice supply by the manu-
facturers. and some said they had
been overcharged. 1t was the opinion
of all the dealers that the principal
fault was in the manner Of distribut-
ing the ice to the dealers. One dealer
said the ice plants should open earlier
in the morning, thereby affording the
dealers a chance to load earlier and
serve the homes that much earlier.

was contended by some Of the dealers
that preference is always shown to

Mr.. Wilson quoted figures furnished
individually by the manufacturers
showing that there was more than
40, 900 tons of ice in storage in WASH
ington Saturday. He read also a
number of letters from individuals
complaining of a lack in deliveries.

With the French Army in France,

three thousand yards in extent no
fewer than four German divisions
(more than $4,000 mem were prepar-
ing to hit hard blow when the
French yesterday launched a highly
successful counter attack southeast
of Montddier. The density of the
German troops was fatal for them be-
cause the Entente Allied artillery,
machine guns, rifiemen and aviators
were able to aim at point blank range
into these masses of men. This con-
centrated fire did terrible execution.
The battle continued throughout the
night and in the early hours this
morning, when the Entente Allies
made further advance to the east
of Merry, which is most important
point as it commands the valley.
Towards the center the enemy
launched several attacks today but
the line held firmly although some
enemy detachments succeeded in fill
tering into the Matz valley through
the wooded country.
Yard by yard the French fought
while the Germans tried to push them
back by sheer force of numbers.
Eventually the enemy succeeded in
gaining a little ground but at the cost
of a fearful sacrifice
South of the River Disc and also
south of the Aisne, the Germans show
ed much activity today, endeavoring
to reduce the Allied salient.
The spirit of Allied infantrymen
when they went forward in their
counter attack yesterday, was very
high, although they knew the enemy
facing them was several times their
superior Ill HuinDeTs.
When the enemy was seen retiring,
although still making a fierce fight
in order to hold his gains made in the
first days of the battle, the Allies
dashed forward with, il possible, aug
mented ardor.
The advantage gained by the Allies
yesterday was even greater than at
first reported. Besides carrying out
remarkable successful counter at
tacks, resulting in the restoration Of
some territory and the capture of
many prisoners. they repulsed a very
fierce German attack in the region Of
Bethancourt, Machemont and Chevin-
court.
The enem y by employing large
forces, was able to obtain a footing

 He became bishop in 1875 and arch. bishop in 1886.
 Archbishop Ireland received almost every honor that an American church man could be given. He had been ire Quently mentioned as the next Ameri- can cardinal. He was a close friend of Pope Benedict and others high in Vatican circles. Presidents Roosevelt and Mckinley frequently consulted him regarding Catholic problems. par ticularly in the Philippines. where large amounts of church property and vested interests were involved.
 Archbishop Ireland was q lifelong friend of the late James J Hill and they were associated in many colonlZ- ing projects in Minnesota and the Northwest He raised funds for the erection of the great million-dollar ca thedral the most imposing edifice in St. Paul. which is located on a hill overlooking the entire city. and is across the street from the Hill man sion.

 Archbishop Ireland's strong Ameri canism, first put to the test when the Civil was began, was manifested afresh when the United States en- tered the world conflict No sooner had congress formally declared war on Germany than the archbishop called upon the people of his faith to remember that they were Americans above all other ties, and declared it their duty to help in every way. Later, when occasion demanded, he advo- cated purchases of Liberty bonds and contrioutlons to the Red Cross and to the various relief funds.
 "The mass of our Catholics are Americans" he argued. They resent any attempt to make them lrishmen or Germans or any other kind of for eigner. The bishops of America are fully able to ward off any foreign in vasion in the church and to maintain it on thoroughly American lines"
 Later, on the same proposal, he said:
 Our country is not Poland, to be partitioned at the good will of for eigners, We have, under Peters sue cessor, our autonomy, and for the sake of the American church and the | American republic we will retain au- tonomy."
