POTENTIALITY
0FTHE ALLIES
That They Can Push Hun
Back to His Border
Is Indicated.

London, July 2o.-Germany's break
down In her last offensive proves to
military observers that the allies can
smash the German lines and push the
Huns back to their own border.
II the present German tactics had
been used in 1914 the Germans could
never have been stopped at the
Marne; they could have swept all
northern France to the sea.
Allied Tactics Develop Faster.
Germany's present tactics have
failed because allied tactics have de-
veloped faster than have those OF the
Hun.
German drives now begin at points
fifty miles or more behind the battle
line. Divisions move forward on o
ciock-llke schedule, now faster, now
slower, at the same time keeping up q
wheel-like revolving movement so
that the division moving the fastest
pass those which are slowing down
for a rest. and those which are rested
gradually march again and quicken
their pace until they in turn are pass
ing those now due for a short respite.
"Leapfrogging," the allies have
named this German trick.
At the same time the Huns have
developed wonderfully the art OF cam
oufiaging moving troops.
The combination of perfected camou-
fage and 'leapfrog" march accounts
for the Hunnish ability TO move great
masses of troops TO the actual line
without being spotted by allied air.
men.
New Attack Expected.
The German drives are so arranged
hat picked ''stofm troops hit the all
lied line with great momentum: these
are followed by other fresh troops
with specialized duties, such as "in-
.iltratIon" companies armed with ma
chine guns: troops specially trained to
clean out nests of combatants pass
ed by the infltrators, and then troops
prepared to occupy and defend cap
tured positions.
1t is still considered likely that the
Huns will attack again. probably near
Amiens. and the Franco-American
counter-offensive IL not to be under
stood as the beginning OF an allied
drive.

METAL COMPANY BOOSTED
SALARIES AND HID PROFITS
Alien Property Custodian Took Over $780,
100000 Zinc and Copper Concern Con-
q trolled By Huns zszssa.s s
Salaries and Commissions Paid Officers
of American Metal Co., Ltd, During 1917

One Of the largest single additions
to the seizures made by the govern
ment through Mitchell Palmer, Alien
Property Custodian, occurred in the
taking over of so, 900 of holdings
having TO do with the production OF
zinc and copper. These are embraced
in the American Metal Co., Ltd. OF
New York.
Investigation by the Federal Trade
Commission into profiteering disclosed
the fact that this company is in fact
under German control, being the
American alias for a German firm.
whose name being translated means
Not Iron Productions Selling Co., Of
America" This concern has the larg-
est holdings in the United States for
the production OF zinc and probably
the second largest for the production
OF copper. This business runs into
millions OF dollars. The seizure
therefore is almost as important from
the dollars point OF view as the TAX
ing over of the ships OF the Ham,
burg-American line.
Concern HID Profits
One thing which attracted the at
lentlOn OF lht FtueIal lIdue Noih-
mission was the method used by
this concern to hide its profits. In
stead of paying dividends at high
rates on the capital the money was
paid out in what the company CALL
ed commissions and salaries to Of
ficisls and managers who were like
wise in fact the stockholders or
were acting. IL is said. as dummy
stockholders for German interests.
In its report to the Senate on prof.
teering. the Federal Trade Commits
sion submitted a list of the officers,
nearly all OF them bearing German
names, with the salaries and COM
missions paid to them during 1917.
There were fifteen or twenty in
addition to the above and none of
them drew less than $3S.0o0 during

New York, July 9-In the stock
market today there was hesitation but
great underlying strength. Perhaps
some Of the market hesitation was
due to the new proof that U-boats are
