admission to the edifice, crowded
Logan Square.
Bishop Thomas J. Shakan, rector of
the Catholic University of Washing

the "modern Caesar." In unstinted
language, he condemned the atrocities
of the Germans and their methods of
warfare.
Archbishop Dougherty was attired

broidered with gold work. His mitre
was white, also embroidered In gold

NEW ARCHBISHOP
MODEST PRELATE
Head of Philadelphia See
Aims, to Emulate
Predecessors i
DOUBTS HIS WORTHINESS
Humility and not pride filled the heart
of Archbishop Denis J. Dougherty when
ho first learned that the Pope had ap
pointed him to the Metropolitan See of
Philadelphia. There .was no joyous
thrill like that which a man experiences
ordinarily In secular life when new and
greater honor, power nnd responsibility
come to him.
Rather was the Archbishop-elect
moved to self-examlnatrn which made
him doubt his "vj-orthlness" for so great
a position.
So said the new Archbishop In an In
terview with a representative of the.
Evenino Puehc LEDQEn the flrtt he
has given since he came "back home."
"How did you feel. Archbishop, when
the Pope selected you to direct the
Philadelphia see?" he was asked.
"I had a feeling of deep humiliation
and a doubt that I could fill the office,"
he replied, after a moment's thought.
"But, you sec, I have been a bishop
for fifteen years and this will be my
fourth diocese. We go where we are
sent. Most of the problems that I will
meet with as archbishop of Philadel
phia I already have dealt with In recent
years."
The other dioceses to which the prelate
referred were those of Nueva Segovia
and of Jaro In the Phlllpillnes and the
diocese of Buffalo,
"There la quite a difference between
the Philippines and Philadelphia," was
the suggestion made to him.
"There Is a great difference in
.dlstnnce," he replied, with a twinkle In
his eyes.
nana to Kmulate Fredreessora
Archbishop Dougherty today assumed
his high office as head of the Philadel
phia archdiocese without' any plans other
than to follow In the footsteps of his
predecessors Archbishops Wood, Ryan
nnd rrendergast. He made this plain
In his Interview.
Bishop McCort ceaBed to ba admin
istrator of the archdiocese when the

The new Archbishop exercises alt the
care of his immediate predecessor. Arch
bishop Prendergast, In discussing ques
tions not relative to the administration
of his see He will not discuss political
matters and firmly refuses to be drawn
Into any discussion of the war.
But he became enthusiastic In telling
of the undivided loyalty of American
Catholics to the Government. He quoted I

RENT REFEREE
MAYBE'NAMED
Congressmen Said to Favor
Plan for Administrator
for This Section
TO CONTROL BIG ZONE
Members of the House Judiciary Com
mittee are seriously considering an
amendment of the Darrow rent-profiteering
bill to permit of the nppointment of
a rent administrator for a zone to take
In Philadelphia. Chester, Wilmington
and Cnmden. The administrator, with
an advisory committee of four mem
bers, would have power to settle all
disputes between landlord nnd tenant.
The bill now before the committee
provides that rent dilutes shall be set
tled before the Federal courts In whose
Jurisdiction they arise. It also pro
vides for the employment of attorneys
and for an appeal power. Changes sug
gested to Congressman Darrow and
other members of the House provide for
administrators In districts where war
conditions have disturbed realty rentals.
The new suggestion Is thought by many
Interested to be tho quickest way to ob
tain relief.
Would i:tuhllli Zone
Present at the hearing yesterday were
a half dozen Philadelphians. who took
kindly to the suggestion of William T.
Colborn, chairman of a councllmanlc
committee on rent profiteering, that ad
ministrators be provided for by Con
gress. The delegation Included Tepre
sentatUes of the Philadelphia real es
tate dealers, representatives from the
office of United States Attorney Kane
and from the office of County Fuel Ad
ministrator Lewis.
Mr. Colborn's suggestions, advanced
In his Individual capacity and not as
head of the Philadelphia Councllmanlc
committee, provide for a zone to Include
Philadelphia and all large nearby Indus
trial centers In Pennsylvania, New Jer
sey nnd Delaware to be controlled by
one administrator and for similar zones
In other sections of the country.
Plan Advltory Iloarda
The plan he outlined, which Is meet
ing with favorable consideration, pro.
vldes not only for the appointment of
Federal administrators but for advisory
boards to be selected by parties In In
terest throughput the country.
The advisory board proposed would
consist of four members, one to be se
lected, by the real estate dealers, one
by local authorities and a third by the
newspapers. These three are given
power to name a fourth. The ad-mlnl-strator
and his board are to be given
full and final authority In all disputes
between landlord and tenant and are to
be appointed for the duration of the
war.
In Philadelphia, on Friday, the Coun-
Ulinmniu lum!ll!llt:B till Item riuiucrnilfi
will have outlined to It the latest pro
posed amendment. This body Is said to
be divided as to the need for quick ac
tion in Philadelphia.

Violence of German Artillery Fire in Retaliation for
Frequent and Successful Raids by English,
Scottish and American Troops
By PHILIP GIBBS
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger

War Correspondents' Headquarters on
the Western Front, July 10.
German guns opened n heavy fire
against several sectors of the British
front on Monday and maintained
severe harassing fire on places near
I
L '
Scherpenberg, In Flanders, In the
nelghborhod of Bethuno and Stra
zeele, and between Arms and the
Somme. The ferocity of the artillery
in some cases Is in retaliation for the
raids by Kngllsh, Scottish and Austra
lian troops, and Is not, In my opinion,
a warning of a big attack.
In the evening there was a sharp
thunderstorm, followed by a heavy
rain, rejoicing to the hearts of the

Washington, July 10.
The United states signal corps is
compiling complete data on telegraph
operation In this country. Including that
of private and leased wires
This activity led to the belief today
that If President Wllsc "seizes the
telegraph lines of the nation as n mill-'
tary necessity, their operation may be
placed In the hands of the signal corps.
I fthls Is done ,lt would eliminate
two objections voiced against Gov
ernment control cf the lines: the objec
tlons o fboth union men and many mem
bers of Congress to placing wire con
trol In the hands of Postmaster-General
Burleson.
The House resolution authorizing the
President to take over telegraph, tele
phone, cable and radio services during
the war was formally reported to the
Senate today by Chairman Smith, of the
Commerce Committee, with the commit
tee's favorable recommendation.
Senator Smith asked Jmmedlate con
sideration, but Senator Penrose, of Penn
sylvania, objected, and tho resolution
went to the calendar, with administra
tion leaders considering an effort later
to force It before the Senate.

Governmental price-fixing will never
eliminate profiteering. Food Adminis
trator Hoover declared today in a letter
to Senator Simmons pl(ilrman of the
Senate Klnnnce Committee.
Hoover urged heavy profit taiies" as
the only means of returning to the pub
lic tho money taken from them by
profited s. He declated, however, that
the price-fixing policy will be continued,
because of the shortage now existing In
nearly every community
Hoover's letter was wiltten at Slm
mons's lequest, to give the .Senate In
formation ns to the probable effect of
Government price-fixing on proposed
war tax legislation Many members
feared price-fixing had, In many In
stances, so reduced profits that Increases
in war profits or excess profits taxes
would be impossible without Injuring
business.
Hoover's letter disposes of this theory
In the view of Senator Simmons
Hoover declared, for Instance, that If
the price of sugar had not virtually
been fixed by the food administration,
through agteements between produceis
and retlners, sugar would be retailing nt
twenty cents a pound. This, he said,
would have added $800,000,000 a year to
the country's sugar hill.
But even with the prices fixed. Hoover
said beet sugar producers will piofit
heavily, some taking as high as 100 per
cent. The only way the Government
can reach these profits Hoover pointed!
out. Is through taxation.
"Rxtra prints out of war are hate
ful." writes Hoover.
"That any man would take a profit
In greater measure because the goods
he produces are netded for war or be
cause of tho scarcity created by war. Is
abhorrent to all decent people and
rightly so, when the outh of the
nation are being called upon to sacrifice
all they have.
"The Government Is endeavoring to
reduce profiteering through regulation
and trade agreements and without a
great measure of success There are,
however, certain economic necessities
which must dominate war regulation of
industry and which, In themselves, can
not eliminate profiteering and which, in
my view, can only be accomplished If
re-inforced by war profits
"My view Is that broad regulatory
restraints, which are now In force, are
essential In commodity handling In the
face of shortage 1 am equally con
vinceil tnat a large percentage or ex
trad normal profits earned out of war
conditions, whether by more fortunately
situated members of regulated trades
or otherwise, should be appropriated to
the public treasury through taxation."

early this morning by the German ar
tillery and machine guns in the region
east of Amiens, from the vicinity-' of
Vlllers-Bretonneux to the Ancre, say
today's War Office 'report.
(It is believed recent gunfire activity :-T
on this front heralds a new GerriHW
drive with Amiens as Immediate Ob
jective.) The Germans delivered local night
attacks In the Vlllers-Bretonneux are.
but these were repulsed.
On the Flanders front the British
carried out an operation in the vicin
ity of Merrls, northeast of NieppV
wood, by means of -which the Una was
advanced a. short distance and prison
ers were taken.
The statement reads:
