HUN ATTACK ON U. 5.
 HOSPITAL A FAILURE
High Explosive Shells Strike Within Few Hundred Feet of Red Cross
 Establishment in Picardy.

With the American Army in France, Monday, May 27.-(By the As sociated PressO
 What was apparently a deliberate attempt to wreck American hospitals in the rear of the American lines in Picardy occurred Sunday afternoon when the Germans hurleld high eX- plosive gas shells within d few hum dred yards of two hospitals. Eortun- ately no damage was done.
 By concident the bombardment was going on while Amer9ican funer- als were being held. Several shells fell short distance from one fun eral party but the ceremony was not disturbed.
 Germany's attempt to carry the war fare to American sick and wounded began about ten days ago when, with the absence of the new moon, enemy airplanes circled over the little will lages where it has long been known hospitals were located. and dropped bombs. Several civilians were inJur- ed in recent air raid while not far from the American hospitals. They were asleep when the attack began. feeling secure in their proximity to the hospitals.
 Much indignation has been caused among the soldiers and civilians over the air raids and Sundays lombard ment. It was not the fault of the Germans that those in the hospitals were not killed and wounded as were those in the British hospitals in Flan- ders recently.
 The only comment of the sick and wounded American soldiers is that they want to get out as soon as the doctors will permit so as to strike h,nr, tl,o IIu,,S

PROFITEERlNG IN MATERIALS FOR LADIES GARMENTS

A writer in the Chicago Tribune throws some light on situation that has been puzzling many of us: why the great increase in the price of garments of certain materials. This man. who has been engaged for many years in Chicago in tho sale of mcii- ,m-priced ladies wear says the in Hated prices of some of these articles is due to profiteerins.
 "The materials used in the manu- facture of ladies garments" he says, "are being produced by tho mills at comparatively small increase over the prices current few years ago, but these stocks are being bought up and held by eastern speculators, who are now taking advantage of the sit uation by arbitrarily raising the prices from time to time with the de- mand. so that the small manufactur~ CT remains within their grasp. and, as usual, the ultimate consumer pays.
 'sThe federal administration has reg ulated the prices of number of com modities necessary to life and well being. such as wheat and coal, and it is my honest conviction that if the above facts are brought to it's notice speedy relief will ensue. Clothing as well as food and heat cannot become prohibitive in price without serious, ly affecting the welfare of ali and the efficiency of the nation"
 The Chicago man is right. The gov ernment should get after these prof iteers, as it should get aftet all oth- CTS. Probably it is some of these manufacturers who are behind the movement to fix the price of raw cot ton. They want to get the rGw mater ial as cheaply as they can, and sell the manufactured article for as much as they can squeeze out of the pub lie.
 These is no objection tc price-fiN- ing if the plan is extended to every thing. If the government fixes the price of things we produce. we'd like 10 have the government fix the price of articles we buy.

STRANGE DISEASE
 SWEEPING MADRID

Madrid, May 2S.-Business life in Madrid is almost paralyzed by the outbreak of species of grippe. The exact nature of the disease has not been determined, although it is not fatal.
 Theatres and moving picture houses are deserted, while the tramways are crippled because of the illness of em' ployers.
 Reports from the provinces show that 30 per cent of the population is affect ed by the strang disease.
 King Alfonso is indisposed, and is believed to be suffering from the dis ease, which he apparently contracted yesterday when mingling with the crowds in the palace chapel. Many other prominent persons are i'll in bed, including the president of the Chamber of Deputies, the ministers of finance, marine and public instruction

WHAT AUSTRIA REALLY Is

"The error of the aliia.," says Prof. Thomas G. Masryk, noted Czech lead CT in Washington, 'is due 10 ignor- ance of what the Austrian empire really is. It is not a country; it is not a nation; it is merely seogra- phical expression. Austria-Hungary is a dynasty, an army, navy and bureaucracy ruling over half a score of nationalities. The government knows that the day it abandons Ger many it is lost"
 The Czech leader says it is idle to attempt to separate Austria Hungary from Germany at present. Tn view of the recent pact between the two kaisers, which, came after Prof. Ma saryks views were made known, he was right.
 It will Joe different. however, when the Germany that Austria leans upon is definitely defeated.
