Conditions arising from military ne
cessity have had much to do with de-
lays in mail addressed to American SOL
diers in France. Army officers explain.
These delays. according to complaints
made to members of Congress and to
the War Department, have run into
weeks and months.
Two Of the principal causes Of delay,
officers here state. are hard to avoid.
They are caused by the rapid move
ment of troops from point to point and
by the brigading of American units
with those of the French and British.
Some of the complaints coming direct
to the War Department have been those
of officers returned from abroad. These
officers have stated that they received
mail from month to two months late,
and that upon their return they learned
of letters and packages addressed to
They also have stated that it is COM
mon spectacle at railroad centers to
see piles of mail bags consigned to
American troops stacked high on rail-
road platforms.

HOME RULE BILL
NE!:ARS COMPLETION
Federal Principle for Whole
United Kingdom in Pro-
posed Revision.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. May 3.-Contrary to the
Daily News statement of yesterday, the
Times and the Daily Chronicle today
say that the government is going ahead
with an Irish home rule bill which is
assuming definite shape.
The Times says it understands the
government is approaching the subject
from the standpoint of a general con-
stitutional revision and the preamble
would establish federal principle for
the whole United Kingdom. 1t will
propose a parliament for the whole of
Ireland with specific powers recon-
mended in the report OF the Irish con-
vention.

PUBLISHERS TO ACT
ON CREEL REQUEST
Head of Association to Select
Committee for Inquiry. on
Federal Press Body.

Frank P. Glass, president of the
American Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation. today stated that the commit
tee he will appoint from the associa-
ton to Investigate the activities of the
committee on public information, and
later, perhaps, to cooperate with Mr.
Creers committee, probably will be an
nounced late today or tomorrow.
Mr.. Glass stated he had consulted
with officers and directors of the asso-
citation in regard to the appointment
Of such a committee. Request for its
appointment was made by Mr.. Creel,
following a severe arraignment Of the
Creel bureau by Hopewell Rogers, re-
firing president of the publishers as
ISOLATION, at the annual convention in
New York last week.
Letter to Mr.. Glass.
Mr.. Creel first wired Mr. Rogers. ask
ing that such a committee be appoint
ed, and upon receiving no reply he
then wrote letter to Mr.. Glass, which
was made public today. In this letter
Mr.. Creel stated that when Mr.. Rogers
accuses me of disloyalty I am not
greatly disturbed" but that when he
attacks my competency, however. the
personal element disappears, for not
only does he assail the entire educa-
tional work that the committee on
public information is doing in the
United States and in every other coun-
try in the world, but he impugns the
motives and merits of thousands of
patriotic men and women who have
given themselves Fundamentally and
unselishly to this branch Of the ma
tional service"
Mr.. Creel explains that 5000 histo-
rtans are at the service of the commit
tee. that virtually every writer of prom
inence is giving work to the commit
tee and that the division of advertising
includes practically every advertising
expert in the country.
Needs Advisory Committee.
Mr.. Creel says he long has felt the
need of an advisory committee made
up of representatives of the press,
but that the selection of such COM
mittee is attended with great diff
Guilty. He explains:
''The American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association is the one great body
in the field. and yet even this does not
express the views and desires of the
composing room. with which the gov
eminent is concerned. but represents
the business control. That body of the
press which deals with the news itself
is without national organization, and
any attempt to select from it's vast
personnel would involve an unfair dis
elimination at the very outset
The committee to be named by Mr..
Glass first will inquire into the meth
DDS employed by the committee, and if
these are approved in principle. the
committee may become a permanent
one to assist the government agency
in the dissemination of patriotic propa-
ganda.

Seattle
HOldup

Direct charges of profiteering
on the part of Joshua Green and
the Puget Sound Navigation Co.
in attempting another increase in
boat fares between Tacoma and
Seattle are contained in the brief
filed Thursday with the public
service commission by Assistant
U. S. Attorney Fishburne on be-
half of Attorney A. H. Denman of
Tacoma, protesting against the
increase.
The charges are backed up by
| figures from the company's books
showing that during the first three
months of 1918 the net profits
Of the navigation company were
$S,744 more than the net profits
for the entire year of 1916.
Further, that the net prof
its of the steamers Tacoma,
indianapolis and Flyer for
the first three months Of
1913 indicate profit OF
20 per cent for the year,
while 3 per cent is considered
fair net profit for public
service corporations.
, The brief also makes the fol-
lowing charges;
The reason the Puget Sound
Navigation Co. is asking for a
larger raise in boat fares between
Seattle and Tacoma than on the
other routes is that here it has a
monopoly.
| CamOuflages Facts.
Joshua Green, head of the com
pany, tried to conceal his profits
by double camouflage of oil and
ships, and for the years 1917 and
1918 he concealed his profits I'M
der his oil charges as well as by
charging up the Chippewa" and
Flyer" to the Tacoma run.
The proposed increase in fares
Is not justified because the net
profits Of the company, instead
of decreasing, are increasing be-
tween Seattle and Tacoma.

able to announce July 4 that a

WITH THE AMERICANS ON
THE MARINE, June 13.--t4 p.
m The Americans holding the
three-mile front between Boure-
sches and Torcy repulsed two
German attacks in their 18th day
and night of fighting
They took so prisoners, in
Guiding captain, and captured a
number of machine guns.
The enemy suffered heavy cas-
ualties.
There were some American
victims, chiefly from the heavy
bombardment of Bouresches last
night.
The prisoner haul resulted
from a company of Germans
quietly filtering into a ravine to
the left of Belleau wood. The
Americans cut them off and after
a brief fight, the German cap
tain surrendered.
The bombardment OF Boure-
sches in which some eight-inch
shells were used, was believed to
presage an attack in force. But
the only fighting that followed
was when a company of Germans
appeared at the edge of the city
early this morning, due to losing
their way.
| Attack Piffics Out
When discovered, the Germans
sought to attack. Their pugnacity
lasted only a few minutes before
the whitening fire poured into
them by the Americans. They
fled, leaving the ground strewn
with dead.

mans were sighted south of Estre-
