WILSON AND THE PEACE
Never A Night Hel'pre Away From Home
By Bruce Barton
The whole town was jjruthered on the platform
that morning to see the train pull out men and
women and children waving and cheering and
trying hard to keep on smiling through their
tears.
Out of the car windows leaned the boys to
wave a last good-bye.
Just average clear-eyed country town boys;
twenty of them altogether. And seventeen of
them had never slept a night away from home
before.
They are dwelling in a strange land tonight
whose language they cannot understand.
But across the mud and the snow a light
gleams warm from a hut on the edge of the
town and inside good cheer and happiness are
ready for whoever will come in to claim thorn.
Friendship dwells in the hut; keeps its warm
fires burning bright I his winter. Let it he per-
fectly clear to the men over there that you have
not forgotten.

CONFERENCE
It is suggested in some quarters
that President Wilson will sit in the
big peace conference It would be a
natural thing in some respects.
It will certainly be a conference
of presidential dimensions. Any pres-
ident or sovereign might he pardon-
ed for a desire to participate person-
ally in the momentous drama that
will be enacted when representatives
of the belligerent nations meet to
determine the future of th world. It
is not unlikely that all our allies
would prefer the president to any
spokesman who from ilie nature of
the case could not speak for the

There were several reasons why
Joseph W. Folk was not elected
United States senator from Mis-
souri the principal one being that
he had manv bitter enemies in his
own party and the returns show that
they carried their enmity to the
polls. Another reason was that the
Missouri brcwerv organization was
opposed to him to a man. This or-

On Hoard American Destroyer
American Port in France Oct. IT.
("Correspondence of The Associated
Press) t ine ( icnnaii submarine that
lay in wait for American transports1
outside the harbor entrance here re-
cently is believed to have paid the
full penalty for attacking one of;
our repair vessels. American naval;
men believe the liun craft is novyl
lying destroyed ou the ocean floor
the effect of the explosion of a 500- !
pound depth charge. I
'the captain of the big American '
repair ship which was recently at-i
tacked off the capes came aboard '
an American destroyer during ihej
visit of The Associated Press cor-
respondent and there was an oppor-
tunily lo hear from him some of
the features of the attack. ;
"The submarine screened freif .
by coming to the surface hack of 'one
of our chasers which lay off to port."
said the captail. i
"The lookout saw the torpedo
coming and il looked as though it
would strike the sterin. Hut it just
cleared us. passing under our fan- ;
tail and as the fanlaii has tin over-:
hang of only twelve feel from the i
rudder post you can understand how
close ii came Then the enemy
ducked as the gutis opened "fire and.j
that. was. the last seen of it."'
The submarine which made the I
attack is believed to have been de-
stroyed soon after nt almost the
same spot where she fired on the re-
pair shop. A destroyer came across
her near the shoals off the harbor
entrance Immediately a 500-pound
depth charge was dropped at a dis-
tance of 80 yards from the enemy.
This is very near for such a charge
and the underwater explosion must
have had serious effect.
The listening gear or "tin ears"
as the sailors call them established
that the submarine was lying help-
less on the bottom. Another depth
charge went down on the flounder-
ing victim. This time a great patch
of oil rose to the surface indicating
that the fuel-oil tanks had been
blown up. The '"tin ears" showed
there was no further sound from the
stricken craft. and though the
watchers remained on guard through
the night the submarine made no
move from the bottom.
"The appcaiance of the patch of
oil on the water is a pretty sure
sign" said the escort "and yet it
is not absolutely certain because of a
cunning device wiitcn me enemy is
using. Knowing that oil on the
water indicates their destruction
they liow carry an oil tank which
releases oil even when they are not
hit. They trust by this to create the
impression that they have been dis-
posed of. and then as their attackers
move off the submarine scurries
away."

Why Compare Beef and Coal Profits?
Swift & Company has frequently stated that its profit on beef
averages only one-fourth of a cent a pound and hence has practically
no effect on the price.
Comparison has been made by the Federal Trade Commission of
this profit with the profit on coal and it has pointed out that anthracite
coal operators are content with a profit of 25 cents a ton whereas the
beef profit of one-fourth of a cent a pound means a profit of $5.00 a ton.
The comparison does not point out that anthracite coal at the
seaboard is worth at wholesale about $7.00 a ton whereas a ton of
beef of fair quality is worth about $400.00 wholesale. '
To carry the comparison further the 25 cent profit on coal is 3!
per cent of the $7.00 value.
The $5.00 profit on beef is only 1 V4 per cent of the $400.00 value.
The profit has little effect on price in either case but has less effect
on the price of beef than on the price of coal.
Coal may be stored in the open air indefinitely; beef must be kept
in expensive coolers because it is highly perishable and must be
refrigerated.
Coal is handled by the carload or ton; beef is delivered to retailers by the
pound or hundred weight.
Methods of handling are vastly different. Coal is handled in open cars; beef
must be shipped in refrigerator cars at an even temperature.
Fairness to the public fairness to Swift & Company fairness to the packing
industry demands that these indisputable facts be considered. It is impossible to
disprove Swift & Company's statement that its profits on beef are so small as to
have practically no effect on prices.
