WARRIORS WAGE GIGANTIC DUEL ONWEST FRONT Artillery Fighting Violent on the Champagne; Italians Take a Formidable Position by Fierce Attack By the United Press PARIS, June 20.—A titanic artill- ery struggle is in progress along the greater part of the French front, an official statement reveals. Between Ailette and Moulin Laf- faux and in the sections east of the | Chevreux wood and to the north of Rheims the fire is the heaviest. Along the Champagne front the duel in progress is of the most vio- tent character, and guns are roaring on both sides unceasingly. “The Germans unsuccessfully at- tacked a small post near Monts Teton | and Cornillet, also farther west, fol- lowing an intense bombardment. The | attack was dispersed and thrown | back,”’ says anvofficial statement. (The violence of the artillery ac- tion suggests the possibility that Gen.

This recommendation of the Federal Trade Commission is the most revolutionary ever made by ty any commission, and indicates the grave nature of the supply situa~ tion now facing the country. The commission points to the fact that the country is facing a nation-wide coal famine, and rec- ommends that the government take over coal transportation facil- ities, on both land and water, and operate them on the government's account. They recommend that the production and distribution of coal and coke be conducted thru a pool in the hands of the govern- ment.
