SCARS OF WAR
SHELL TORN BATTLE FIELDS
NOW COVERED WITH THICK
VERDURE
(By Associated Tress,

Soissons, France, Aug. 16.-Natu-e
is making such rapid progress in
healing the scars of war in France
that, outside of towns where ruins are
still standing, it will soon be impos-
sible to discover the famous front
line of four years Of war without
close examination.
1t has become evident that the
abandoned project of maintaining in
tact, as it existed at the close of hos
tilities, the line from Nieuport, in
Belgium, to Belfort, as a lesson to fu-
ture generations, could not have been
carried out expecting at an enormous
expense.
Forests that were supposed to have
been annihilated have shown remark
able recovery. Positions that were
shelled repeatedly until the subsoil
covered the surface almost completely
giving every appearance of hopeless
ariditv, nave been slowly covered by
vegetation.
Even the famous height along
which runs the Chemin des DANES
(the aides Way, is covered with
thick herbage, that remains green in
spite of the drought. In order to
presrve certain famous war scenes
such as the Bayonet Trench at Yer
dun, it was necessary to erect shell
ter and protect the trench from the
slow but sure work of nature in order
to preserve it as it was during the
great battle.

very extensive powers upon the War
Finance Corporation for the relief of

This corporation already has actual

wing fund for the relief Of Agriculture
En- addition to providing for financing
immediate expectation of surplus crops
the bill provides that the corporation
may loan money to enable farmers
J to carry over their crops until they
can be mark keted in an orderly way
that is, until the market is ready to

The most important provision in the
bill is that which authorizes the cor
poration to loan to banks, both State
and National, etc, the full amount Of
money advanced either heretofore or
herea ftcr for ''agricultural purposes,'
not only to farmers, but to anyone
making advances to farmers for agri

Washington,~ Aug. 16.-If the rail
roads are the accurate barometer of
bushes that they have been regarded,
the skies are beginning to clear in
this country, for the showing made
by the carriers for the month of June
is most encouraging. Net operating

profit in June, as compared to 50

The railroads have a long distance
to travel II order to get back to a state
of reaonsable prosperity, despite the
gains they have made of late. The
net operating income shown for June
| is equivalent to an annual return of
81 per ces on the fair valuation of

Commerce Commission In
Sv the net income was at the rate
of "a per cent on the valuation. This
shows very decided improvement,
although it is still far short of the

The improvement in the railroad
situation is not to be disregardeS, for
it is highly significant. The last

TRADE ASSOCIATIONS
AND PRICE FIXING
(By U. s. Press)

Washington, Aug. 16.-Following
the Dearlment Of Justice and the De-
partment of Commerce, it is announc-
ed that the government s campaign
against price fixing by trade associa-
tions will be carried forward solely
with the idea Of preventing infraction
Of the law and with proper consid-
Grafton for legitimate business. AS
surance is given that nothing will be
done unreasonably to disturb CONNER
cial and industrial activity.
is OF great Importance that the gov
ernment exercise it's influence toward
the breakiing up Of illegal price-fixing
combinations, under whatever guise
they may masquerade, and it states
that the revelation of investigating 9
committees in New York and else
where revealed the existence of giant
conspiracies to maintain prices at alb
normal levels and to restrict the sup
ply of these materials. These com-
binations, it says, were Of such mag
nitude and strength as to interfere
serio,sly with the tendency toward
normal prices and conditions. were not
only illegal in themselves but distinct
ly against the public interest.
''It is the duty Of Federal authori
to breal, up such practices where
yer found. and that is the object OF
the Department Of Justice in inau
gurating the campaign it has outlined
But it is not the policy to do any
thing calculated to frighten Legitimate
business. On the contrary, where il
! is possible to secure the correction o1
questionable practices without prose
cution this has been done. There i
no disposition to beat the tomtom
and raise a general alarm, but it i
necessary for the protection of th'
public that illegal combinations b
broken up and that price fixing con
spira cies be done away with. Law
full business has no cause to fear tn
activities of the government authori
ties.''

STEAM PROPULSION
Of A|RSH|PS INVENTED
(Bv Associated Press

London. Aug 16.-Invention Of a
system Of steam propulsion for air
ships is claimed by Captain W. P
Durtnall who was a British naval Of
ficer during the war and up to year
ago staff captain in the Chief Me-
chanical and Electrical Engineer de-
partment Of the Royal Air Force. 1t
is maintained that the new system
will function at attitudes hitherto un-
attainable with the ordinary type of
internal combustion engine.
The invention is said to 90 away
completely with the ordinary boiler,
the steam being generated by means
Of internal-combustion power or heat
energy. The superheated steam heat
energy is supplied to special steam
motors which are reversible and can be
controlled from q centfa fC"fN'
station.
Only heavy oil is used fuel and
1t IS claimed that the driving ma
chiner-- can be safely placed inside
the frame of the airship instead of il
separate gcndolas outside, thus bring
ing about d great reduction in ali
resistance and consequently reducing
