South Carolina, and chairman of the
naval affairs committee, is seriously

is regarded by his physician as doubt
full His left side is completely para

a severe recurrent cerebral hemor-

Senator Tillman is now suffering
from a severe recurrent cerebral hem

PRICE FIXING FAILS
To CURB PROFITS
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION IN
REPORT SHOWS WHOLESALE
PRQFITEERlNG
FIRMS MAKE MORE THAN BEFORE
Majority of Mine Owners Are Reap
ing a Larger Profit Under Govern
ment Price Than Ever Before.

Washington.-The report of the fed
eral trade commission showing whole
sale profiteering in the few staple
commodities with which the commits
sion has dealt undoubtedly will prove
the entering wedge for enactment OF
a stiff war profits tax, but the feature
OF the report which interests men,
bers of congress more is the degree
OF failure revealed in the system or
price-fxing.
Government interference with the
established order of supply and de-
mand has not proven satisfactory IN
other directions For example, 1t did
not succeed In supplying sufficient
coal to keep people warm and in
dustries running last winter. 1t has
not prevented various food shortages
or succeeded in bringing about pro-
per distribution of commodities, Of
which there is a plentiful supply.
Meat Profits Higher.
Even more serious profteering by
the meat packers is revealed by
this does not fall at the door Of the
food administration in the same degree
as the flour situation, for the reason
that complete control of meat prices
has not been taken over by Mr.. Hoov-
er. The government is now preparing
to assume greater control OF the indus
try. II has been announced, however,
that an attempt was being made to
hold the meat packers to a profit OF
nine per cent on the business trans
acted. For the year 1917, the trade
commission report shows that the pro-
fits ranged from 16 to 26 per cent.
1t is pretty certain that Messrs. Gar
field and Hoover will be called on by
congress to explain the results OF their
price fixing effort with respect to coal
and -four and IL is also likely that Ber-
nard M. Baurch will be summoned to
explain why the steel industry and
other dealers in raw materials, pro-
duced from the earth, have shown a
vastly increased profit in the face OF
price fixing by the war industries
board.
The report of the federal trade
commission, however, proved a decid-
ed shock, as it showed that the ma
jority OF mine owners are reaping a
larger profit under the government
established prices than they ever
made when they fixed the prices &C
cording TO the demands of competi-
ton and their own consciences.
THE outstanding revelation which
accompanies the work of cost finding,
is the heavy profits made by the low
cost concern under a governmental
fixed price for the whole country"
said the report and in this respect
it refers particularly TO coal.

U. s. Army Corps in Line.

Neutrality-suspicious. OF the
west front is expected momentarily
by army officials here. General Per-
shings reports, as we'll as French and
British advices from the front have
shown increasing enemy activity day
by day, indicating Germans are pre-
pairing for another assault.
There is great stir and movement
among Germans before American lines
around Chateau Thierry. Part of the
drive may be directed against this
front in a renewal of the thrust at
Paris through the Compiegne gateway.
If so an army corps OF American
troops stands shoulder to shoulder
with the French again to block the
road. The corps organization plan,
however, calls for six divisions, four
combatant and two replacement, and
with the necessary artillery units and
other additional troops, the total
strength of corps would be nearly
220 900 men. Undoubtedly, General
Liggett has all the elements necessary
for his corps il his organization is
complete.

ITALIANS TAKE ENEMY POSI-
TIoNs IN ALPS WHICH WERE
STRONGLY ENTRENcHED;
VIENNA ADMITS DEFEAT.
DIAZ HOLDS GAINS AGAINST
DESPERATE COUNTER-ATTkCKS
Claims 1e1,464 Unwounded Allied
Prisoners Taken Since
March ~, 1918.

London-Success apparently has
crowned the offensive of the Italians
in the mountains north OF the Venetian
plains. Launched on Saturday, the
attack on the Austrian lines has gained
rugged heights where the enemy was
strongly entrenched, and the fighting
goes on. Vienna admits a retirement
to prepared positions" which is the
expression used in official statements
to mean an enemy blow has gained inn
portant ground.
After three days of struggling in the
mountains, the Italians are hammering
hard at the most powerful and threat
ening positions of the enemy. They
have not only gained ground, but have
held it against desperate counter at
tacks by Austro-Hungarian forces
which were mown down by artillery
fire and completely checked by Italian
infantry.
Detail maps of the area in which
the fighting is going on do not show
distinctly some OF the places men,
toned in the official statements. The
Vienna admission that the new Aus
trian line runs through "Stemple
wood" is, therefore, without signifi-
canoe, but as the positions held by
the Austrians before the Italian attack
began were above the forest line, 1t
would seem the enemy had been ousted
from the higher ground and placed at a
disadvantage in the fighting to come.
An official statement issued at Ber-
lin claims 191, Asa unwounded Allied
prisoners have been captured since
March "a OF these 94.939 were Brit
ish, S9,099 French and the rest Portu-
guese, Belgians and Americans. Six
Allied generals and $500 officers are
said to have been taken by the Ger
mans.

equipment must have anthracite will
not be without fuel
Distribution OF coal throughout the
state, Mr. Prudden said, will be along
lines fashioned after the United States

whole country. The effect OF this
will be to send the bulk OF the an.
thracite where 1t is most needed.

CURED to use their own supply of soft
coal and wood to large extent, re.
ceiving only such quantity OF hard
coal as is actually needed for base
burners and hot air furnaces.
Large cities, such as Detroit,
Grand Rapids and Flint, will get a
greater quantity of anthracite per
capita than smaller places. because

Settlement Must BE Final.

There can be but one issue. The
settlement must be final. There can
be no compromise. No halfway de-
cision would be tOlerable. No half
way decision is conceivable. These
are the ends for which the associated
peoples of the world are fighting and
which must be conceded them before
there can be peace: l. The destruction
of every arbitrary power anywhere
that can separately, secretly and of its
single choice disturb the peace of the
world; or, If 1t cannot be presently de-
stroyed, at the least its reduction TO
virtual impotence.
''2. The settlement of every question,
whether of territory, of sovereignty. Of
economic arrangement, or of political
relationship, upon the basis of the free
acceptance of that settlement by the
people Immediately concerned, and not
upon the basis of the material interest
or advantage of any other nation or
people which may desire a different
settlement for the sake Of its own ex-
terror influence or mastery.
80. The consent of all nations TO be
governed in their conduct towards
each other by the same principles of
honor and of respect for the common
law of civilized society that govern
the individual citizens of all modern
states in their relations with one an
other; to the end that all promises and
covenants may be sacredly observed, no
private plots or conspiracies Matched,
no selfish injuries wrought with impun-
ity, and a mutual trust established
upon the handsome foundation of a
mutual respect for right.
~. The establishment of an organi-
zation OF peace which shall make 1t
certain that the combined power of
free nations will check every invasion
OF right and serve TO make peace and
justice the more secure by affording a
definite tribunal of opinion TO which
all must submit and by which every
international reimbursement that cannot
be amicably agreed upon by the peo-
pies directly concerned shall be sano
