Commission has recommended TO Pres
ident Wilson that the Railroad Admin
isiration be given a monopoly In the

The report Of the commission, made
public by President Wilson today,
urges that the far reaching packer in
fluence on American business can be
emasculsted by transferring from the
packers 10 the Railroad Administration
the following:
All stock yards in the country.
All so-called branch houses, storage
houses and warehouses OF the packers,
used In the distribution or meats.
All stock cars and refrigerator cars
now owned by the packers, and
All icing plants located along the
railroads throughout the country.
This would leave the packers the lone

Through control OF the transportation,

Railroad Administration would break

DON'T BUY MORE
ICE THAN NECESSARY
Food Administrator Warns
Against Danger That
May Follow Waste
SUGGEST SUPPLY
BE CARRIED HOME

An appeal to all citizens Of Whining
ton to be careful with tht'r ice supply.
in o, Ter that any suffering may be re-
du ed - a minimum, Is made today by
Edmund Mitchell, food administrator
for Delaware. The abnormal hot
weather Of the past three days, coupled
with the difficulties that the ice COM
panies have TO deal with in serving the
public. has made the business extreme
ly unpleasant.
What the food administrator wishes
to emphasize particularly is that
should not buy more ice
than they need. that they should make
IL as convenient as possible for the ice
wagon driver In delivering ice, and
that II possible. they should go 10 one
OF the cash stations in the city and buy
their ice, taking IL home themselves.
The fact that the Diamond ice Com
pany lost about 10000 tons OF ice by
the destruction Of their storage house
at Coatesville. and the fact that they
have TO depend largely on ice brought
here from Reading, Pa, and other
points. makes the work Of supplying
with ice a great problem.
The administrator points to the fact
that ice sold at the cash stations is
sold at forty cents a hundred. while ice
delivered is sold at seventy cents per
hundred.
Watch for the iceman," says the

Several important villages have been

The French are attacking In the re-

from that front are extremely optimis-

ina only slight resistance.
A bOmbardment for three minutes
preceded the British attack. The
French attack by agreement was made
a few minutes later, their artillery
smothering the territory south Of the

The Allies apparently began a double drive the
Picardy and Visne-Vesle fronts today. While French
and American troops renewed big scale the attack
on the Crown Princes armies driving toward the ights
between the Vee and Ane British and French forces
suddenly smashed against the Pcardy front southeast OF
Amiens.
The British War Office report, received shortly after
the Paris communique indicated that the Pcardy attack
may be between the Somme and Avre Rivers front of
than ten miles. The report said the attack rs pro-
crossing satisfactorily"
Staff dispatches from the Aisne-Vesle front
nounced that American and French troops had crossed
the highway north OF the Vesle and were
steadily pushing on toward the dominating heights
which form the German defense line south of the Aisne
Counter attacks broken up by Allied artillery fire.
This attack apparently centers the front between
Brasne and Fismes where progress reported IN last
nights Paris communique, but spreading the dis
patches said that bridging material being rushed
up and crossings established.
The extent of the Picardy atack-reported IN the
French official statements yet known That is
major scale indicated by the announcement that IT
is developing under favorable conditions" The attack
began a o'clock this morning The communique
issued significant part of the operation is that
is evidently being carried out principally by the British
with the French cooperating The infoms-
ton showed that the British line extended only far south
as Hangard about nine miles southeast of Amiens The line
from there about Grvesnes held by the French
while Americans held the sector from Grvenes to point
west of Mondider. The Paris communque may indicate
that additional forces have been thrown into the line here
enough to preponderate the French.
The fact that the Americans not mentioned IN
this attack in previous advances around Montddier
may that they have been drawn out of the line to
participate in the Marne fighting
further Allied success in Flanders was reported by
Field Marshal Haig last night. He announced that
British troops advanced their lines than half mile
on a FIVE mile front between the Clarence and LAVE
Rivers.

Marsh, Irwin S. Cobb and Goldwyn is
one hard to equal. When it is known
that "The Face in the Dark" is an abb

mystery confronting the star, it will be
seen that Mae Marsh plays the most I'M
usual role of her career. She proves
herself not only an actress of extraordi-
nary pathos and appeal, but dominating
figure in tense situations and big, smash
