The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report

These conclusions if fair and just matters OF Sc

The fiuures uven on profits are misleading and the

This compares three-year profit with one-year

It is not onIy misleading but the Federal rade Com

lfyou are business man you will appreciate the

No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Com

however. the much advertised resump-
tion OF the German onslaught found the

line was thinly held by division of
French and British troops.
Meantime other German divisions
attacked from the Ailette Valley, and
the small bodies of Allied troops
holding the knifelike ridge decided
to fall back in order to avoid useless
losses in trying to keep an unten-
able position in the face Of greatly
superior numbers.
Everything had been prepared for
such a movement in the case Of ne

the Allied troops, after the over

Princeton Ambulance
Unit Cited for BraUery

The Princeton University mil,

yesterday, has received citation tor
bravery from General Lecomte, com
manding the SD Army Corps. The o.
der was issued on April 20. but wofd
Of it has Just reached this country.
The citation praises the unit for IL
work during the violent fighting q
Noyon and Mt. Renaud, from March 25
TO April s. Commanded by Lieutenant
Motto and Lieutenant Butkiewicz, th4
unit, General Lecomte's order resdss
assured the evacuation of the woupd-
ed in perfect manner under the most
violent bombardmentzwith an absolute
contempt for danger and the highest
consciousness of duty"
The unit is composed entirely ot
Princeton University men. EARLY IN
the summer of 1917 thirty-six yolun'
teered. They spent the training p
riod at Allentown, Penn, and saw thai
first field service in France in Sep.

The men have been in the thick d

Military Comment

this area, to the northwest OF
Rheims. they took Cormicy and
Loivre and threw the Allies back
across the Aisne-M Marine Canal.
Yesterday the fighting was car
ried into the area between the Aisne
and the Vesle rivers. From Pont
carey to Fismes the distance is
seven miles. It is a hilly country,
Offering many advantages for de-
fence. But apparently the Allies
were not able to organize a serious
resistance there. The German van
reached Vesle yesterday evening.
From the Chemin des Danes the
Crown Prince has covered twelve
miles in two days. That shows un-
usual speed. Yet the advance may
probably be considered logically
proportional to the length of the
| front attacked on and to the masses
used against the vastly inferior
Allied forces defending it.
Paris reports that reinforcements
have begun to flow in on the line
of the Vesle. This is a central point
in the French system covering Paris.
1t is within easy reach from the
Somme front and from the Verdun
front. There should be no great
difficulty in delivering all the re-
serves needed to slow down the Ger
man advance.
The third day is generally the
critical one in operations like the
one which the Crown Prince is con-
Quoting and Foch is now meeting.
If the momentum of the drive
slackens appreciably to-day it may
soon be pinned down, as the Lys
Valley drive was pinned down with
in a week, and as the drive from St.
Quentin would have been, but for
the dislocation of the British line
through mishandling of the British
Fifth Army.
1t is evident that the Allied posi-
tons north of the Aisne were light
ly held and that they were not de-
Tended obstinately enough to in
volve partial development and seri-
our losses. The Germans claim only
$1,000 prisoners so far. And this
total may include the wounded. Ar
tillery losses were also probably not
considerable.
In Flanders the Allied forces
counter attacked yesterday to re-
cover some points lost the day be-
fore on the Locre-Voormezeele front,
east Of Dickebusch Lake. 1t was
purely local operation. On this
front it begins to look as if the Ger
mans had fought themselves to a
standstill

WITP THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 28.-With the defea. by
the Americans near Montdidier and by
the British and French east of Dicke-
busch Lake, the Germans again have
recorded bad failure in these regions
for their arms. Not only this, but a
long list of dead and wounded must be
added to their already heavy casualties.
The main interest of the fighting
men on this front naturally is centred
for the moment on the German drive
against the British and French in the
Aisne region. Those British divisions
mentioned in to-day's official communi
cation as being in the line Of attack
the 9th, Goth; 25th and 21st-have back
of them as fine a record for bravery
as any in the army. The 25th, 21st and
5oth all did work that stood out in the
fighting in Flanders in April and were
sent to the Lys front, where they held
up the enemy by dogged resistance at
Estaires and Merville. The enemy ad-
vance was checked by the fine work of
this unit. The 9Th showed exceptional
gallantry in the first days attack in
the region of the Somme and went
through some of the hardest fighting
at that time.
During the latter part of March, after
the great offensive began, the 21st Di-
vision maintained its position at
Epehy against. numerous furious as
saults, and withdrew only when the
situation on its flank became threaten
ing. The intrepid men of this division
inflicted great losses on the enemy at
that time.
The 25th Division was sent into bat
tie in the neighborhood of the Ba-
paume- Cambrai Road during these first
bitter days and hung on in the face OF
constant attacks. The 50th Division
had week of continuous fighting
south of the Somme as the Germans
swept forward. Thus they have jumped
from one big battle into another fierce

TN ITS third phase the German
Western offensive is again run
ming true to form. 1t has made
steady progress and is still un-
checked. Berlin official reports indi-
cate that, having reached the Aisne
on the first day-five miles from the
starting point--it has now reached
the Vesle River, at Fismes, seven
miles further. The attack in Cham
pagne was made on a front of about
forty miles. Three army groups en-
gagged in it, those of Won Boehm and
Franz Won Below being aided on the
west by detachments from the armies
of Won Hutier.
The main blow, however, fell on a
shorter front-on the line north Of
the Aisne River, extending about
twenty-five miles east and west from
Pinon to Berry-au-Bac, where the
Allied positions crossed over to the
south side of the Aisne. The great
est penetration on the first day was
in the middle of this section. The
Grown Princes troops drove through
due south for about five miles, reach
ing the Aisne at Pont darcy. The
Allied forces held fairly we'll at first
on the two extremities of the line,
so that German progress on Monday
morning was represented roughly by
a narrow wedge driven through the
Allied centre.
In the afternoon the wedge was
quickly broadened. On the west
ern end of the line the Germans took
the villages of Pinon and Chavignon
and the old fort of Malmaison, to the
northeast of scissors. This repre-
sented only slight advance. But
from'the fort of Malmaison straight
south to the Aisne at Vailly all the
north bank of the river was rapidly
cleared. Vailly was taken late in
the day, and from Vailly to Pont
darcy fresh German troops were
rushed over the Aisne and started
across the plateau which lies be-
tween the Aisne and the Vesle.
A similar clearing operation was
completed on the eastern end of the
main line of attack. Craonne fell.
So did La Vile au Bois. Then the
defences of Berry-au-Bac were
stormed and most of the northern
bank of the Aisne in this section
passed into German hands. BY eve-
ming Germ. n divisions were crossing
the river a. far east as Beaurieux.
Below Berry-au-Bac, where the
fighting was more in the nature of
a holding operation, the Germans
also pushed their line forward. In
