the war than copper for as Napoleon said. an army fights on its stomach and thus country in war would show good judgment if the commissary de- partment were first taken care of. Hence the natural sequence would be for the Allies to come into the market and bid against each other for food supplies just as they did in copper or zinc.
 There is another element in the large profits which made them pOssI- ble during the war and not before the war. And that is operations at capaci- ty. There was probably never a time in the country before when the large industries were able to work continu ously at capacity for several years at a stretch. With the buying power ex- ceeding the supply the natural policy of human affairs is to hold goods for higher prices. In fact the wise busi- ness man will even accumulate on a rising market No doubt there was not only holding of goods but aecumula- tiOn also. If there has been no con spiracy the prOfiteer has followed nat ural business laws.
 At time like the present. however, when the world is fighting for its life. manufacturers should forego business laws after they have received a fair profit. With the country as a whole giving all it has, individual desires should be nullified and business con ducted on a parallel with the princi- ples at stake.

make the introductory remarks the waiting throngs burst into cheers which increased as MT. Douglas faced il to begin his talk. He said that the audience might expect to hear words to be more or less disconnected, as he was not a public speaker and might have difficulty in bringing his ideas out
 Proud of city's Record
 He begun by saying that he was proud of the record made by the peo- pie of Douglas in oversubscribing their quota of the Liberty loans and of their aid to the Red Cross society and other war funds This, being on a par with the rest of the state, he said, made the whole nation realize the ATizonans were real Americans.
 He told Of reaching Paris on Septem Der IT, last year, and offering his serv- ices to the Red Cross, but at that time there was no available place for him. so he passed the following month and Q half in making observations, most of which were on German propaganda. This sinister German influence was di- rected at inspiring peace talk and VI eS fElgs NNAg I4Gf0llg uOlANs
 How Hun Influence Works
 This artful enemy propaganda did a great deal to aid the kaiser. he said It was directly responsible for the Rus sian debacle; hampered British gov eTnment, and almost tied the hands of France It held back British sanction to vesting the command of the allied army in one man, and prevented France from attaining a condition where it would be safe to entrust commander in that country's army 10 assume supreme leadership.

A. p. CONFIRMS REPORT

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY ON THE AISNE-MARNE FRONT, July 22 (By the Associated Press) Noon.-There were signs everywhere today that the Germans are destroying the material and munitions in the pocket to the north of the river Marne, between Soissons and Rheims. preparatory to entire evacuation of that area.
 The Germans are having the great est difficulty in maintaining their con- munications in the salient They are unable to utilize most of the railroads leading nOrthward, owing to the in- cessant hurrying from the entente all- jed aviators and artillery. The night was comparatively calm but several local counter attacks were executed by the Germans in an endeavor to cover the retreat of their main body. These attacks in every instance were unsuccessful.

On the ether hand the report may be a foreTunner of what may be expected in the way of regulating steel prices when the committee meets in the next few weeks, for the steel companies al so came in for considerable criticism of their profits before prices were reg ulated. In any event the report is the direct result of the speech delivered by the President several months ago in which he stated that prQfiteering must cease. In view of this speech the report of the commission is no sur prise and there is little new in 1t eX- cept that the industries were specified in which the excessive profits were found tC be.
 There is, perhaps, some inconsistent Icy in the report in that in some cases where large profits were made. as compared with pre-war times. the pros perity is laid to the fact that there was very large demand for the speci- fife products and the buyers bid up prices on themselves. Copper especial ly is mentioned as an instance in which the Allied nations were so anx- iCus fer the product that they went into the market with the prime object of obtaining the metal regardless of the price In view of this decision in the case of copper why did not the same conditions prevail in the case of the packers whose products were per haps more essential for the conduct of

(Jimmie) Douglas to the peo- pie of his home city
 Buff America fails to keep her men moving across the Atlantic, and does not bend the utmost of her eneT- gies toward beating the Buns, it is within the range of probability thaJ victory will be delayed long enough to enable the Prussians to make use of the vast power of Russia against de- mocracy and prolong the war indeli- nitely, MT. Douglas said
 Germany Still is Strong
 The Germans have used their prop aganda everywhere and in many effec- tive ways" he said, and if given time they can use it in Russia in such a manner as to get the man power or Russia in their armies He pointed out that the United States apparently failed to make haste in sending troops abroad until the return from France Of Gen.

PROFTTEERING

(Boston Financial News)
 In its report to the Senate relative to the profits of the large corporations, the Federal Trade Commission seemed to lay mere stress on those industries whose products go direct to the house hold The milling industry and the packers were especially pointed out as making exceptionally large profits and the coal industry was also condemned for the extra profits which some oi the operators made before the price of the product was regulated.
 It has been intimated that the report coming at this time. just before Con- gress' goes on it's vacation, may fur nish food for eonkressmen in the cam paigns which they will begin during their vacation and it would appear that the household industries furnish good subject for active campaigners.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 2O.- France, England, Belgium, Italy, ana the Americans under the command of General John J. Pershing have com bined to present to the American peO- pie a comprehensive exhibit of war trophies. This Allied War Exposition now is being held here and is attract ing thousands of visitors daily. Event ually it will be shown in all of the large cities of the nation. It is a gov ernmental exhibit under the direction of the National Committee on Public Information. While the itinerary of the exhibit, after it leaves San Fran cisco, has not. as yet been completed, Los Angeles, Denver. Kansas City and Chicago probably will be among the early points in the schedule.
 Practically everything shown is war material captured from the enemy in cluding Germans, Turks. Austro- Hun gary and Bulgarians. The fact that it takes approximately twenty-five freight cars to transport the articles from point to point will indicate the impossibility of attempting to enum- crate what may be seen. The exhibit includes objects of interest from a tank. captured airplanes and submar- inc to steel trench helmets and iron crosses.
 All manner of cannon are shown and practically all of them show the sears of battle which are eloquent of the ferocity of the fighting which took place before they fell into the hands Of the allied armies. Gmohg these is a German mounted antiairplane gun. Its condition bears every evidence that an allied shell must have struck in close proximity Allied soldiers doubtless spent some time in collect ing and putting the pieces together again. Huge pieces of ordnance with the barrels burst open where a pre- mature explosion of the shell occurred bear testimony to their explosive force.

war. realizes that the placing of Foch in command of all the entente allied and the American armies is the best thing that has happened in a long time.
 Do not become too enthusiastic over the successes Of the allies at the present moment" he told the audi ence. "The gains now are mere fly specks. We must have 2,OO0,OOO Amer ican soldiers in France by December l, 100000 by May and perhaps 5,000.000 by next summer. If this program is followed it is possible that the war will come to a victorious conclusion by the end of next year. It will take heavy grinding machinery to smash the prepared Hindenburg lines, and am told that this machinery is in pro cess of preparation.
 We must give the German civilians Q taste of what the civilians of France have endured - give them some of their own medicine. The people of Germany either are responsible for the kaisers acts are they unable to put a stop to them, and if they are power less to change the kaiser's methods, we must put them in a condition where they can remedy it."
 The speaker said French officer had told him of the wanton murder of old men and women of a French town by two German aviatOrs. These peo- pie, driven from their homes by the Huns, were grouped by the roadside. waiting for they knew not what when the two aviators sighted them, swoop- ed down and raked the terrified group with machine gun fire"

 He told about the shelling of Paris, an atrOcious act that had no military value, but was just plain murder O, innocent non-combatants We must put the German people in line. and make this world so that we shall not have a war every thirty years, with this kind of brutality" he said.
 Our boys who are fighting there are the goods and We are going 60 win this war just as sure as the rising of the sun tomorrow, and it is only a question of how long it will take"
 He gave an instance of the fighting quality of the American soldiers by telling of the three sons of w. c. Os born, a director of the Phelps Dodge corporation, who are in the service Of their country in France. William Os- born, recently g6ssed, was sent back to his regiment and wounded in the fighting at Chateau Thiery. He isn't wounded badly enough" a brother complained, flor he thinks he will be back on the firing line within six weeks"
 Work With the Red Cross
 Mr Douglas first was assigned to work with the Red Cross on October a last year, when he was asked to look after the stores of the society in France. "I told them I gladly would undertake the job if they would le; me send back to Arizona and get my partner, w. H. Brophy. so that ne could do the work and let me have tho glory" he said "They agreed to ta;s, and he came over.
