(Continned Prom F*f* One.)
because the Germans were unable to
retain it
Prom prlaonert it was learned that
within the past few days two new
(Herman divisions the 238th and the
tilth—the first of which from Iihelma
and the other from Metz. Both
were excellent organizations, but like
other divisions encountered in the post
few weeks were afflicted with that
mysterious something which caused
them to crack when pounded by the
rejuvenated allies.
A new variety of barrage was used
by the Americans. Prisoners who wore
brought in, many of them of whom
f bad been under barrages of every
[army opposed to the central powers,
' characterized it as a "crazy fire."
The Americans held their long
range guns on a line of targets, be-
ginning their barrage along a line to
the rear of that. This barrage moved
on and in a brief interval another bar-
rage started at the same point. When
the first moving line of fire reached
that of the long range guns, they
shifted and the triple barrage was re-
peated.
On the Americans' left similar tac-
tics were used but the intervals were
longer, the American guns covering
exactly twice the ground, if measured
by the density of fire.
The allies' mastery of the air in this
sector Is unquestioned. In the air at
one time there were counted eighty
allied planes. It was one of those
rare opportunities for observation
work, the visibility was good and
equadron after squadron ascended.
With the observation planes went com-
bat planes, a few of which disappear-
ed over the German lines to take part
til the actual fighting.
Occasionally a German plane chal-
lenged their presence, but in every
case it was driven off. Not one allied
plane was brought down.
Two days ago American patrols
were in Juvigny and a mile and half
beyond it. The recentlon of the town
was assumed but the Germans were
not exhausted ana their determination
to contest the advance of the new
enemy who had appeared resulted in
the reptition of the experience of
f certain American divisions north of
the riser Marne when town after
town passed hack and forth before the
Germans were definitely pushed back.
Thursday night, when an American
detachment escorted by tanks enter-
•d Jovigny, the German line once m<>re
was behind the railroad 10 the west
of the town. There a tremendous
Struggle began, the Germans employ-
ing every faculty to hold their posi-
tions, not only in front of the Amrrl-
aans. but In front of the French.
The artillery was instructed to con-
centrate their fire on Juvigny end
positions nearby and for an hour In
the afternoon American and French
funs hurled tons of high explosives
and shrapnel Into the little town al-
nady hardly more than a mass of
mint clinging to one tide of a deep
wvlno.
About 4 o'clock part of the AmerJ-
can line moved forward, Juvigny was
believed to have been cleared. The
enemy, however, waa there and at
other positions as well. The rulna of
villages and the hill to the north prov-
ed to be big nests of machine guns
with supporting machine guns in the
positions nearby.
The Americans now settled down to
a heartbreaking struggle. The men
dug in, advancing one line after an-
other.
Two miles to the rear of the fight-
ing Infantry was an American com-
manding officer and his staff, Intent
not only on wreBtling valuable posi-
tions from the enemy, but on saving
the maximum number of his own men.
Fully realizing the probable efficacy
of the German artillery and machine
guns, it was planned to encircle the
objectives. The principal nearby sup-
port for the Germans in Juvigny was
in the hill to the north. On it were
concealed numbers of machine gun^
but the American left wing succeeded
in working a line between it and the
town and from the other side there
had been sent forward to a line be-
yond the objective another lot of
troops who came in contact with tha
first detachments at a point almost
directly to the east of the objective.

"Referring to the fact that "two
commissioners and a permanent mem-
ber of Its staff have been elmultaae-
ous candidate* for political prefer-
ment," the report coatlnues:
"CondlUons such as these Inevitably
lead to Impressions that the commis-
sion Is no longer a ersponsible body
approaching its duties with serious
purpose to promote the public Interest;
that it seeks aggrandisement for itself
and Its members; and that It lacks
the impartiality essential to any public
agency which Is to speak with author-
ity and to promote the common cause
of the nation rather than to create
discord, confusion and disorganisa-
tion."
In support of the charge that the
commission has taken Improper func-
tion to the detriment of its Intended
duties, the report cites the commis-
sion's news print report and Its ef-
forts to supervise distribution of coal
before creation of the fuel adminis-
tration. In both these activities, the
report asserts, the commission was
highly Inaccurate In figures of costs
and "dealt recklessly alike with na-
tional Interests and personal rights."
At the same time It la charged the
body failed in Its constructive task of
pointing out how trade association may
be Improved and instead denounced
these institutions. ,
Investigations of the lumber indus-
try, of re-sale price practices and of
bituminous coal production were
started but never completed, the re-
port says, and these are cited as out-
standing examples of permitting pub-
lic Interest to suffer and at the same
time wasting public money.
In dealing with the subject of unfair
methods of competition, says the re-
port, the commission originally gave
business concerns opportunity to rem-
edy their practices before making
public complaints against them, but
"the procedure lias now been so
changed that the commission itself
has become an instrumentality for
unfairness." Charges of unfairness,
often Initiated by a Jealous competitor
the report declares, are preferred by
the commission and made public
without giving the accused firm ad-
vance notice of the changes or suf-
ficiently definite information on the
charges to enable It to make prooer
answer, while filing about one hun-
dred and eighty formal complaints
and disposing of about thirty, giving
full publicity to the original • com
plaints with meager announcement,
the commission has caused great In
Justice, Injury and confusion. '
In criticisms of the methods adopt-
ed during the recent Investigation of
the packing Industry the report says
Francis J. Heney, was employed at
$30,060 a year and expenses, "al-
though It has been stated to a com-
mittee of congress that salary would
be at the rate of $5,000."
In this Inquiry the commission "se-
lected documents already In Its pos-
session and had them presented to It
at public sessions by Its special coun-
sel,'' says the report, "refusing to per-
mit concerns that were mentioned In
the documents to offer any testimony
or produce other documents. It'held
public sessions at Boston, Phllodcl-
phla, St. Paul and other cities, exam-
ined witnesses of Its own choosing and
prevented cross examination by ihe
concerns at which It fas made clcar
the proceedings were directed. At
each city the special counsel or other
members of the staff let It be known
that the government contemplated
taking over and operating the Indus-
try.
"This strange spectacle ended In'
Chicago, February, 1918, when appli-
cation was made on behalf of the com-
mission for a search warrant under a
section of the espionage act and the
circuit of appeals quashed the war-
rant.
"The result of the commission's
course was not to give information to
the public but to place the commis-
sion In the position of seeking to create
prejudice which would support an ap-
parently pre-conceived purpose to in-
augurate government ownership of the
business.
Referring to the commission's re-
cent report to congress oa profiteering
the report nyi;
"Intrinsic faults in tikis report are
even more serious. The commission
criticised the principal of fixed prices
which every other agency of the gov-
ernment has approved as a means of
at once regulating the market and
obtaining the Increased production
the nation requires. * • • It
finds the profits of products of
southern pine "unusually and unneces-
sarily alrge.' let the price fixing
committee of the government having
before it the commission's own figures
of costs, has recently increased the
price for southern pine to the govern-
ment by approximately 15 cents."
The report concedes that individual
profiteers exist and should be prose-
cuted vigorously, but adds;
"The existence of individual error
and crime is no erason for condemna-
tion of the whole community or any
part of It by broad accusation and in-
nuendo."
Members of the federal trade com-
mission are William B. Colver, chair-
man; John F. Fort and Victor Mur-
doek, Joseph E. Davis and William J.
Harris, recently resigned membership
to seek senastional nominations In
Wisconsin and Georgia, respectively.
Francis J. Heney, special counsel dur-
ing the packers Inquiry was a candi-
date for the democratic nomination for
governor of California.

dier. It is his war. The soldier is l'.ls
champion and representative. To fail
to win would be to Imperil everything
that the laboror has striven for and
held dear since freedom first had Us
dawn and his struggle for JusUce be-
gan. The soldiers at the front knotf
this. It steels their muscles to think
of it. They are crusaders. They are
fighting for no selfish advantage for
their own nation. They would despl;v
anyone who fought for the selfish ad-
vantage of any nation. They are giv-
ing their lives that homes everywhere,
as well as the homes they love in
America, may be kept sacred and safe,
and men everywhere be free as they
Insist upon being free. They are fight-
ing for the Ideals of their land—
great Ideals, Immortal Ideals, Ideals
which shall light the way for all men
to the places where Justice Is done and
men live with lifted heads, and eman-
cipated spirits. That is the reason
they fight with solemn joy and are in-
vincible!
"Let us make this, therefore, a day
of fresh comprehension not only of
what we are about, and of renewod
and clear eyed resolution, but a day
of consecration also, in which we de-
vote ourselves without pause of limit
to the great task of setting our own
country and the whole world free to
render justice to all and of making it
impossible for small groups of politi-
cal rulers anywhere to disturb our
peace or the peace of the world or
In any way to make tools and puppots
of those upon whose consent and
upon whose power their own authority
and their own very existence depend.
"We may count upon each other.
The nation is of a Single mind. It is
taking counsel with no special class.
It Is serving no private or single in-
terest. Its own mind has been cleared
and fortified by these days which burn
the dross away. The light of a ^\ew
conviction has penetrated to evjry
class amongst us. We realize as we
never realized before that we are com-
rades, dependent upon one anoth?r,
irresistible when united, powerless
when divided. And so we Join hands
to lead the world to a new and hotter
day.
