THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBUEG, PA. PROFITEERING IS BAREDBYREPORT Treasury Department Tells How the American Public Has Been Made to Pay. BIB INCREASES OVER 1916 Producers of Foodstuff Made the Most Enormous Profits, and Nearly Every Other Branch of Industry Piled Up Huge Riches, Washington, Aug. 17. The treasury department's report on profiteering. . Just completed In response to a Semite resolution und covering 31 .WW corpo rations, reveals the fart that aston ishing profits have been made In al most every brunch of Industry In America In 1910 and 1917. The names of the concerns are not made public. The treasury department takes the position that It would be a violation ef existing law to make public the Annies of corporations and their earn ings. The senate resolution Is not suf ficient to suspend the law; It would require a Joint resolution, the treasury department holds. The most extraordinary profiteering revealed by the report was In food stuffs. Producers of nearly all the common necessities of life were shown to hnve made enormously Incrensed profits In 1917 over 1910, although their earnings In 1910 were In numerous eases fur above the 100 per cent murk. Heat packers' profits were shown to have Increased substantially. One Inrge packer mode $19,000,000 more In 1917 than In 1910. In the Iron and steel Industry sensa tional profits were disclosed. In coal and oil profits mounted to unparalleled figures. Public utilities of virtually every character also came In for a lib eral share of the Increased prosperity. Large Profits of Dairies. Among the dairy concerns large In creases of profits were shown. One company with $000,000 capltul mude $100,000 In 1917. flgnlnst $2.',000 the year before. The small dairymen made the lurgest percentages of In creased profits. One little concern with a capital of $2,400 made $11,059, M compared with $4,000 for 1010. Fruit and vegetable growing Indus try's profits Increased considerably over those for 1010, although they were fairly large for that year. One concern's profits were 240 per cent tore for 1917 than for 1910. Concerns with small capital showed the largest Increases. Wheat, corn and barley growing was ot so profitable, according to the re tnrns. One concern with $425,000 cap ital lost money. Stock breeding showed substantially Increased profit In nearly all the con cerns listed. The Industry also showed surge profits for the previous year. One concern's profits were 2.T5 per cent more In 1917 than In 1910. A large number of Industries listed as "miscellaneous agricultural Indus tries" showed some strikingly large profits, beginning In 1910 and Increas ing rapidly In 1917. Food Men Gain Riches. Of 210 concerns listed under the cap tion "ISread and other baking prod acts," profiteering of an amazing char acter was shown. For example, one company capitalized at $40,000 In creased its profits from $50,000 In 1910 to $107,000 In 1917. Few of them showed Increases of less than 20 per cent on their capital stock. In the canning Industry one com pany which earned 877 per cent In 1910 earned 1,047 per cent In 1917. Another, capitalised at $93,000, made $247,000 In 1917. against $00,000 In 1910. A $50,000 concern which made $25,000 In 1910 made $142,000 In 1917. The manufacture of syrups, molns es and glucose netted much Increased profit. One company with $3.10,000 capital earned $303,000 In 1017 against $170,000 In 1910. Ice cream was an specially big money maker. Of more thun WW flour, feed and grist mills listed only a few failed to show largely Increased profits. One $2,WX),0fW concern made $7.r2,000 In 1910 and $1,200,000 In 1917. There was a general upward rise In most packing companies' profits. The largest concern listed hnd a capital of $100,000,000. upon which it earned $49, 000,000 In 1917. against $30,(KW,0(X) In 3910. Startling Profits In Leather. Leather manufacturers, Including the dealers In hides, and makers of boots and shoes and trunks and valises, made profits In 1010 nnd 1917 that are startling. One shoe manufacturing concern, with $1.0(W.00O capital, made 813 per cent In 1910. but no excess In 1917. Scores of boot and shoe manufac turing concerns, whose capltttl was from $100,000 to $1 ,000,0( W, made all the way from 20 to more than 1,000 per cent In 1910. Our Silver Goes to India.

FIELD ARMY Their Sectors Are on the Road to Berlin HOLD LINE TO SWISS BORDER And Military Experts Are Of Opinion That Over The American Lino The Real Thrust At Germany Will Be Driven Home. Washington. Secretary Caker was formally advised by General Pershing that the First American Field Army bad been created, General Pershing retaining command of the army as well as of the entire American Expe ditionary Force for the present. The dispatch added nothing to details of (ho army organization already made known from Paris, however, Mr. Baker said. Tho announcement is regarded as Having deep significance at the War Department, mainly because It places the American Army In France on the same footing as the French or British forces there. Formation of the Army is taken a ere to mean 'hit the Americaniza tion of a definite portion of the front das been captured. Supply lines, rail s' ay bases, storage facilities, debarka tion ports and the like, created and operated by Americans, stand behind the first army. The only statement of the location of this American front given is that It is "South of the Marne." Presumably this means' a part at least of the long line from St. Mihlel to the Swiss border where American troops have been put in at Intervals during the last few months. Five Full Corps. The extent of that front has not been disclosed, nor has the definite trcngth of the Army been given. The advices indicate that it comprises, however, five full corps, which means ipproximately 1,250,000 men. The effect of the taking over of the line is to make a definite beginning At apportioning the long front. The British hold the left flank, aided by the Belgians, from the North Sea to the Juncture of the Fourth Army and the French First Army In Picardy, where an offensive Is being conducted at present In that position the British are not only holding their share of the line, but stand between the enemy and the channel ports, which would be his only road to England while the Briti.i Beet exists. The French armies presumably are being concentrated wholly between the Picardy Juncture, with the British and the American left beyond Verdun. They block the roads to Paris. To Swiss Border. To the Americans has fallen the remainder of the front to the Swiss border when the other armies shall have been formed. The First Army undoubtedly now holds the bulk of that line, with such French help as Is necessary. The whole line probably Is under General Pershing's direct command, even the French corps or divisions that are necessary until additional American troops arrive. The American com mander will hereafter direct all op erations on his front. He has as much freedom of action on his own lines as has Sir liouglas Halg on the British front or General Petaln on the French, for he stands on an equality with them. All three are under Mar shal Foch for the major campaigns. As direct commander of the army In the field General Pershing will be well situated to weigh the qualities of the men he has assigned tempo rarily as corps commanders. Fron those five officers he probably will select the commander of the First Army, and opinion here leans toward Major General Hunter Liggett, now commanding the First Corps on the Y'esle front, as his choice. It is ex pected, also, that Geaeral Pershing will soon name his permanent corps commanders, the appointment carry ing with it the rank of lieutenant general. The Mobile Reserve. General LIggett's corps probably Is regarded as the mobile reserve of the First Army, and as such Is being employed on the French front. Should aggressive operations be undertaken on the American front, however, this corps probably would be used there, supplemented by French and possibly British mobile reserves sent by Gen eral Foch. In that ca3e, while General Foch would map out the objectives of th. action In a broad way, General Pershing would command the Joint forces. This recalls the fact that the Amer ican sectors Include what always has been considered the logical road to Berlin for French advances. It was across lines now held by Americans that the French struck in 1914 before the plunge of the German Army through Belgium localized the war in Northern France. While the enemy Is still In Northern France, It may be that no major at tack i:an be attempted through these gateways.

The vain counter-thrusts cost the enemy heavy losses and failed to budge our lines, Ten guns, Including seven 155-millimetre pieces and three 150 millimetre-calibres, were cap tured by our men, In addition to a neat bag of prisoners.

MUST DISCOURAGE BUYING LUXURIES Many of So-Called -Necessities Should Also Be Used Spar ingly as Possible. WGULD EFFECT BIO SAVING Money Could Be Turned Into Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps, and Labor Into Essential Industries. By MORTIMER L. SCHIFF. So much bus been said and written In recent months on the subject of thrift, that It must by this time be the self-evident fact that unless the strictest economy Is practiced by the people of this country, the enormous sums and the mass of goods which the war requires connot be forthcoming. The most Important contribution which the civilian population can make to wards the winning of the wnr Is to so order Its dnlly life ns to prevent waste and thus moke available for military purposes the goods' and labor which would otherwise be dissipated In pro duction for unnecessary purposes. Not only must the spending of money for luxuries be dlscournged, but even so called necessities must be used ns sparingly ns possible. It Is only In that wny that the growing need of our army aud navy can be met. The amount which the Individual can thus contribute mny seem small, but If nil pursue such a course con scientiously, the resultant saving Is enormous. Surely it Is due to our brave boys at the front that our mili tary operations be not hnnipered by n In'k of supplies due to production at home being diverted Into non-essential channels. It must always be borne In mind nnd cannot be stated .too often, that doing without something results In a double ndvnntnge to the govern ment. The money thus saved Is mode available for the purchase of Liberty bonds nnd Wnr Savings stamps and In addition a corresponding amount of labor nnd goods Is released for war purposes. To Illustrate by a concrete exam ple, If a man does not buy a new over coot, but makes his old one do for an other season, he not only can place at the disposal of the government the money which he would hnve used for that .purpose, but the manufacturer enn use that, cloth and the labor for making the overcoat In manufacturing n mllltnry or nnval overcoat for one of our soldiers- or sailors. Thrift Will Help Win War. ' Fuel and food conservation work In a similar way and everything which we as Individuals do without means Just so much more for our allies or for ourselves for war purposes. The gos pel of thrift connot be preached too often or too strongly, not only for Its direct benrlng on the war, but also for Its effect on the future of this coun try. We have been so blessed with nnturnl resources and facilities for production, that we hnve been an ex trovagnnt people, nnd It Is certain to be of Incnlculable advantage If we learn the value of saving. We have been extrnvngant not only In the ex penditure of money, but also In what Is even more Important, In the use of our raw material nnd of our land. In tensive farming and full use of buy ing products nre examples of this kind of "thrift, which If Intelligently prac ticed will tremendously Incrense our production. Snvlng to he effective must be sys tematic nnd not haphazard In charac ter. The greatest advnntnge of War Savings associations or the purchase of Liberty bonds on the Installment plnn Is thnt they require the setting aside of a definite sum each' week or eoch month and the making of the do mestic budget accordingly. And the remainder of the money thus set aside Is snved nnd Invested In the premier security of the world, In the obliga tion of the United Stntes of America. Frugality Great Asset The problems of peuce nre going to be no less nerlous than those of war, but we face them with confidence, If, ns a result of the habits we have ac quired during war time, we shall have, become n thrifty nnd economical peo ple nnd n notion of savers. "Wnste not, want not" Is a true old saying, but Its application was never more Im portant than now, France's greatest asset bos been the thrift nnd frugality of her people and we can do no better than to emulate her In this, as In so many other things. To do so each must do his or her shnre and by so do ing divert production from non-essen-tints Into essentials and make avail able the labor and goods needed for military purposes. In the same way, It Is only by thrift nnd economy thnt we can speed tip our production nnd make participation In the war more and more effective. Try It Out, Ma.
