FLOUR MILLERS MUST TURN IN EXGESSJROFITS Hoover Orders Return of Profits to U. S. in Fcrm of Flour. WASHINGTON, July 2 Flour millers who made excess profits during the last fiscal year, as charged by the Federal . Trade Commission in its report Saturday to the Senate, must return to the amount of such profits to the Government in the form of milled flour, under regulations made public today by Food Administrator Hoover. The Federal . . Trade Commission charged that the millers had made a profit of 45 cents a barrel on flour despite the Food Administration's regulations limiting the differential to. 25 cents. It develops that the commission's report was anticipated, as the administration's regulations were sent out last June 17. Millers whose profits at the close of the fiscal year June 30, are in excess of the maximum permitted, are required to credit the amount of the excess to the Food Administration to be liquidated by flour to be sold to the army, navy, marine corps and the food administration's grain corporation in New York at $1 a barrel. The millers' books will be balanced

as of June 30 and again as of July 1 to show the amount of the excess

profit.

CENTERVILLE, Ind., July 2 George Mural McKinley, Centervillo boy in the signal corps serving in France, in a letter to Lis parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. McKinley, living north of Centerville, tells how fighting Americans "cleaned" the Germans in several engagements. His letter follows: "We are in a rest camp, now, back from the trenches and although it is a relief to be rid of our gas masks and know there are no shells going to drop in on us, I would far rather be back in my dugout working the switch board. "I am well as usual and like the place we are in but don't know how long we will be here. They say our division is going to Paris to be reviewed before returning to duty. I don't care anything for the review but I sure would like to see Paris. I suppose I should not tell you, and It may be marked out, but I am in the Second Division, so perhaps you can follow me a little once in a while. You asked where I am and was. In Middle of Line. "Well, I can't tell you any names, but if you will look at the map showing where the Americans were hold

ing trenches, I was about -in the middle of that line. "The regiment we were attached to did fine. Every time the Germans came over they cleaned upon them, and every time the boys went into the German lines they tore them to pieces. One night the boche sent over about 500 men out of what they call 'shock troops', the best men they have, and one company of ours .lust tore them to pieces; in one hole they buried over forty men and we lost only six men killed and only several wounded. "They fooled us in the beginning sneaked Into our second line trenches and came In back of our men; they passed within a few feet of my dugout but I did not even hear them. But they were not looking for one or two men. Throw Hand Grenades. "Their leader could speak English and when he saw our men he cried

'Gas!' but not having a gas mask on himself, it raised the suspicion of the doughboy sergeant and they began to heave hand grenades at the Germans and before it was all over with they were scattered, killed or running like the devil was after them." "On three of our locations one afternoon the Germans dropped 15.000 shells, gas and high explosives, and all they got was one mule killed and one man wounded. We were . in the trenches over two months and did not have a man killed but two or three died from disease and wounds "I had many a close call but came through lucky one shell exploded on one 6lde of the trench and I was flattened up against the other and shrapnel rained all around me. I got enough gas to lay me out for a couple of days but came back strong a3 ever. One of our boys is blind from gas now but he may recover. Heart Cuckoo Whistle "I was lying In a hole in the woods one evening and heard what I thought was a German whistle; the Germans use cuckoo whistles, and I could hear a cuckoo on each side of me and com

ing nearer all the time. I lined up my shells in front of me and decided if I went over a few would go before I did. ."When the cuckoos stopped they were over me and turned out tc be a couple of birds. Believe me it takes nerves to hold the strain, although I have been shaky a lot of times, I have surprised myself in being able to hold myself down. The Germans are losing an awful lot of men and refuse to let their people know of the heavy losses. "We have an awful pretty place to stay in, everything is green and in full bloom. We have purple, yellow and white tulips, lilies, and lots of other kinds of flowers I don't know the names of, all in our tack yard. Lettuce growing in the garden while shrapnel is bursting overhead. A canal runs through one end of the town with a four track railroad beside it. A small stream of water runs along the side of

Wash Day in France. "The people have a great way of washing; in every town is located a square stone building, or more than one, depending on the sige of the village. In the center of this is a stream of flowing water with a stone shelf all around. The women boil their clothes, then come to this wash house, get down on their knees, spread the clothes out on that smooth rock and beat the dirt out with a flat paddle. "We scrub the dirt out of ours without boiling and do just as good a job as they do. People live here under conditions that under the same in the States, they would be sick by the dozens. Many places the barn and house are in the same building. All roofs

are made of red tile and are the shape of half a full round tile. "There are no men here to do the work so women deliver the bread and i in fact everything. I saw one little i girl about twelve years wheeling a
