HASY DATE OF FINAL PEACE
No Real Fear of Outbreak By the
~ Bolshevik In Germany But the
Present Regime Is Unstable.
President Wilson is expected to ar
rive in Paris on the morning of De
cember 12.
It Is likely, before any meeting of
the allied delegates, he will be shown
some of the devastated districts on
the western front. It will certainly
not be before the middle or the end of
December that he will meet his fellow
delegates. December 16 is mentioned
as the probable time for the first meet
ing, but December 20 is the more
likely date to be agreed upon.
The peace conference proper prob
ably will neet in March or April. It
is possible now to give a general out
line of the probable course of the
peace negotiations, although naturally
at this early stage, no definite pro
gram has been established. The prob
lems are too vast, for any immediate
peace to be fixed without the greatest
danger to future peace and, even with
the cost of maintaining some armies
in the field, it is well not to hope for
a final settlement for many months.
There are many factors in this de
lay. While it. appears there is no
reason for fearing an outbreak of
bolshevism in Germany, there is abun
dant reason to suspect the present
reghme is unstable and at the mercy
of any absolute coup d'etat.

Atlantic City, N. J.--It was-appar-ent
rem the action taken by groups repre
enting hundreds of industries and
mainosses that strong appeals will be
nade to the government to loosen the

There seemed to be almost a uni

DANNOT ESCAPE BECAUSE

l.andlon.--David Lloyd George, the
British prime minister, in the election
mampaign, gave a restatement of his
oicy. In it ho declares that the

srowned, but that they must be tried
by an international court. Mr. IUoyd

AmerioR is still to Feed Ht Igr
Word.
A hundred and eighty million people
in hungry. lands are looking to Amer.
lca for food which no other people ez.
cept the American people can give
them.
In their mJsery and famnie, Bel.
gium, Northern France, Central Rus,
ala, Serbia,' Montenegro, Poland, ltu
mania and Armenia are already crying
aloud to America.
From America food must go. What
is sent must be saved.
Perhaps that is America's .mission.
Peace or no peace, war or no war,
the American people must keep on
saving food.
This is the message of the United
States Food Administration, whose
leaders realize that the outcome of
the present situation will only in
crease the responsibilities of the Uni
ted states, no matter how everts in
Europe turn.
Millions of people in territory that
has been occupied by the enemy are
in misery. Famine stalks abroad.
They must be fed.
Under any circumstances, the
.American nation is bound by the
food pledge of August, 1918. The
Allies were told: "Make your plans
for Victory."
To this victory, America's contri
bution, among other things, will be
seventeen and one-half million tone of
food. America is bound. The pledge
Is not broken by the signing of the
armistice.
The change that has come in the
situation has rather increased the
burden on American resources be.
cause the burden of feeding millions
of hungry- peoples who could not be
reached before now becomes the
common burden of the Allies; and
that obligation can he lessened only
by living up to it
There is but one way in which sev
teen and onedhalf million tens of
food can be got to send to Europe to
save the lives of hundreds of thous
sads who will die from hunger in a
famine land unless they get it. That
way Is to save it.
It means intensive saving of all
food, just as wheat was saved in the
wheat emergency. just as sugar was
saved in the sugar emergency. There
can be no greater folly indulged by
the American people than the idea
that because the fighting has ceased in
MuPope there is no longer any need
of saving food.
America is pledged.
Tim nation's pledge must be se,
deemed, war er no war; peace or no
Sutering humanity and national
homer demand it.

MERCHANTS ARE- ASKED TO

Low Meat Prices
vs.
HighCattle Prices
If the farmer cannot get enough for
his live stock, he raises less, and the -.~
packer gets less raw material.
If the consumer has to pay too much
for his meat, he eats less' of it, and the
packer finds his inarket decreased.
The packer wants the producer to
get enough to make live-stock raiig
profitable, and he wants the price of meat
so low that everyone will eat it.
But all he can do, and what he would
have to do in any case to stay in busi
ness, is to keep down the cost of pro
cessing the farmer's'stock into meat so -
* that the consumer pays for the meat and
by-products only a little more than the
farmer gets for his animals. J
Forexample,1last year Swift & Company
. paid for its cattle about 90 per cent of ?
what it got for meat and by-productspe
('ouch as hides, tallow, oils, etc.)
.If cattle from the farm were turnedan
miraculously into meat in the hands of ~ t
retailers (without going through the ex
pense of dressing, shipping and market- th
ing), the farmer would get only about
11/ cents per pound more for his cattle,
or consumers would payr only about 2% od
* cents per pound less for their beef!
? Out of this cent or two per pound,
Swift & Company pays for the operation
- of extensive plants, pays freight on meats,
operates refrigerator cars, maintains
branch houses, and in most cases, de
livers to retailers all over the United
States. The profit amounts to only a
fraction of a cent, and a part of Ii
prftgoes to bul oepatto gv
better service, and to increase the com-.
