the people of the profiteers. The
real purposes of the Chamberlain

is now at the head of this investi

part of a plan to throw the blame
for the failure of the air-craft pro

ON WESTERN FRONT

they intend renewng the drive on a
large scale.

sector hc^re again advanced their
positions. ■ To the South and South
west of Ypres they have gained
ground and established positons be
tween Laclytte and Voormezeele.
A general lull has taken, place in
the fighting along almost the entire
West front anti owing to this fact
all interest has centered on the
Britsh operations at the German
sub-base at Ostend. The British
navy is again trying to bottle up
the entrance to the harbor. The
British cruiser Vindictivo has been
leaded with concrete, run into the
narrowest neck of the passage and
there sank directly across the chan
nel. A short time ago a number
of other ships were used for tho
same purpose but did not reach a
epor nearly as favorable at the Vn

fact, that he thought he could

whatever ho (Borglum) wished. He
was trying at the time to promote a
large airoplane company in which his
sole asset was to be his very inti
mate friendship with the President

had made the charge against those
supposed to constitute the ring re
sponsible for the delay in the pro
gram.

lobbying in the interests of Riggs.
