ASK DELAY IN INCREASE
Of NEWSPAPER POSTAGE
Publishers Want Congress to Wait
Year Before Putting Rates
Into Effect.

Newspaper publishers. headed by
George McAneny Of the New York
Times, vice president Of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association.
urged. before the House ways and
means committee today, that the zone
system Of increased second-class post
age rates, which goes into effect July
l. be suspended for at least a year.
The committee was told that while
the additional revenue from the in
creased rates would be inconsider-
able. the rates and the system would
oppress the newspapers at time
Of great need and impose a system Of
collection complicated and expensive.
Rates to the outer zones would be
prohibitive. Mr.. McAneny said. and
would mean restriction Of circulation.
Arrangements for passing the in
creased cost Of postage on to the
subscriber, he said, already are un-
der way.

Investigation Asked For.

A thorough investiga ton of the sub
ject before drafting legislation was
urged. Mr.. lIcAneny asserted that the
Post Office department had been built
into a profit maker largely through
the fundamentally of second-class
mail.
Chairman Kitchin of the commit
tee contended that the net income of
the New York Times had increased
100 per cent during the war. despite
increased costs Of paper, and ink and
cables. Mr. McAnany said he could
not answer that, but there proba bly,
had been some increase due not to the
war. but to normal growth.
Mr.. Kitchin then took up Mr.. Nc
Aneny's statement that the news
papers of the country could not stand
the increase. and asked for net in
come and loss of subscribers by in
dividual large newspapers. The wit
ness said he knew nothing of their
book figures; that there were 500
newspapers in the publishers asso-
citation.
Representative Longworth Of Ohio
asked as to the proportion of news
paper circulation affected by second
class mail rates.
The witness said that In the case
of his paper it would be about Is per
cent, but he could not say as to news
paDers generally.

 Americans Share in Increase.
 It was not clear weather General Pershing's message reporting that s. 400 prisoners and 133 guns had been captured by the Americans alone in- ciuded those taken in yesterdays swift rush to Fismes or only those of the preceding period of the counter -offen- sive. It was regarded as probable, however, that the captures made yes- terday were still to be reported. Other reports indicate large captures of both men and guns in the rush to the Vesle.
 Flank Attack Projected.
 The German retirement southeast of Montdidier may be significant. To some officers it appeared possible that General F'och would hurl his victorious armies which already have crossed the Aisne near SoiSSonS. north and east from that point toward the line of the Cise. Should the German disorganiza- ton prove serious enough to permit the allies to extend their victories northward, q flank attack might be projected against the Picardy front with hopes that the Aisne- Marne re- suits could be duplicated. Standing again along the Disc and with s~1 : cient forces available to continue on the offensive, the French would threat en the Germans in this whole great area from the south while a British advance from the Albert-Arras front would form the north jaw of the trap.
