Eliminate the profiteering mid

demanded OF Congress.
The Food Administration has not
used its fun power to prevent

Detachment Returns; Tells
of Damage Accomplish
ed at Tondern.

London, July 2o.-A detachment
OF the British grand feet has now
returned to its base, following a
cruise on the coast of .Jutland. dur
ing which successful bombing raids
were carried out by naval airmen
operating from the ships. accord
ing to an official statement by the
admiralty tonight. The raids were
directed at Zeppelin sheds at Ton
dern, IN Northern Germany.
The communiQue follows:
"A detachment of the grand feet
operating of Jutland (western
coast of Denmark) on the morning
of Friday has now returned to its
base, having carried out a bombing
attack on the Zeppelin sheds at
Tondern, in SchIeswig Holstein, by
the royal air forces that were dis
patched from the vessels.
Made Direct Hits.
I'm the first flight, which was
made early in the morning. all the
machines reached their objectives
and made direct hits on a large
double shed. which was completely
destroyed. the confiagrstion rising
1000 feet in the air. A second
fight followed the first. all of our
machines but one reaching their
objectives."
Four Of the British machines failed
to return. Three of these are be-
Iieved to have been compelled to
make landing on Danish soil.
British bombing squadrons again
have invaded Germany and have
gone beyond the Rhine. An announce
ment from the air ministry says that
bombs were dropped on the Benz
works at Mannheim. on the railway
station at Heidelberg. on blast furn-
aces I'm the Saar district and on
powder factory at oberndorf. the last
mentioned having been bombed to-
day. A fire resulted at the Benz
works. Railway trains also were at
tackled. The statement reads:
''Our, bombing squadrons again were
active during the night of July 1918.
At the Benz works at Mannheim, the
railway station at Heidelberg and the
blast furnaces at Burbach and Wad-
gossen were attacked. At the Benz
works a fire broke out. A hostile air
drome was attacked, one of the han
gars receiving a direct hit. Two
trains were hit by bombs, brought to
a standstill and then subjected to ma
chine-gun fire.
Z ''On July 10 the powder factory at
Oberndorf Con the Neckar, southwest

Damage Proved.
Striking evidence of the damage
caused by the raids of British bomb
ing squadrons upon the German rail-
way system at Metz-Sablons is af-
forded by an official British photo
graph published today. This photo
graph taken shortly after the double
raid on July and the night Of 81,

shows In minute detail the whole of
the important railway junction at
Metz, including the famous railway
triangle" at Metz-Sablons, where an
immense number of lines converge
from the Metz Central Station and
the south towards the Western front.
The effects of some exceptionally
destructive bursts are visible in the
photograph among the engine shed
and workshops in the center of the
triangle and the remains OF two
trains completely burned out can be
clearly seen. -.as. .-=

Outnankhg Flank

OutuunknE FIuhA
Recall for a moment what hap
pened on the first day OF Foch's
great counter drive: In the direc-
ton of scissors the French and
dashed forward six miles;
in the center they advanced about
two, and on their right flank above
Chateau Thierry they made be-
tween one and two miles.
What is going on now is a pro-
cess Of outfianking q flank: Foch is
trying to roll up the German Aisne-
Marne front by swinging his center
and right northeastward around
scissors in the general direction
of Fismes.
To accelerate this process he has
set his forces south OF the Marne
and those between the Marne and
Rheims into motion. That whole
great funnel through which the
Crown Princes lesions swept south
ward to the Marne in May is now
being violently assailed on its three
sides and each day has brought the
assailants important gains.
And into this same funnel the Kai-
ser's heir Is throwing division after
division-his own reserves are well
nigh exhausted. This much the
third day OF the gigantic battle has
definitely revealed-Ludendorff means
to accept Foch's challenge and make
II the battle of the reserves, for the
simple reason that to decline Il and
retreat would give the death blow to
his arrny's morale and set the Ger

Send Them to Front.

Send Them to Front.
Middlemen should be sent to the
front. under the work or fight" rule,
according to a Recommendation of the
punch" committee of the National
Federation, yesterday.
The committee makes this demand
because it believes that the greater
portion OF the unholy profiteering pre-
Vailing is attributable to the immense
margins OF profit by the middlemen. -
aMiddlemen are not producers, says
the committee, and so they come un-
der the ''work-or-fight" proposition.
and they should be called upon to
make good. The government should
investigate as to whether all such cor
poradons or partnerships engaged in
the commission business in the han
ding Of foodstuffs should not be dis
solved.
Senator King is also in favor of
eliminating the middleman by the
municipal or governmental control Of
the retailing OF food.
Punch Committee Works,
The punch committee is not let
ting the matter go at that, however.
Some of the members have taken a
week off and others are prepared to
devote a month to the seeing Of the
anti-profiteering program through.
Profiteers will be as minus a guam
tty, and as silent. when they get
through, they believe, as U-boat cap
tains will be this time next year.
They intend to stick to the job until
som remedy or relief is carried

DELEGATE GETS NIGHT LETTER
 SERVICE BACK
After the Service Had Been Discontinued. Delegate SuIzer Had It
 Restored.


 Owing to conditions on the tele- graph system, an order was issued more than year ago, discontinuinS the night letter service in Alaska. Immediately thereafter MT. Sulzer received strenuous protests from all sections of the Territory and he started to work to have the service restored He laid before the War Department the desirability of restot- ing the service at once, the hard; ship that the suspension of the night letter would cause the business men of the Territory, especially in view of the slow means of mail transpor- tation. These representations of the Delegate resulted in an order beirg issued to resume the service and it has been enjoyed by the people of Alaska ever since.
