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 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 deliv
ered 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 state
ment, that its profits on beef are so small as to have
practically no effect on prices.

Scenes of Prosperity
Are Common is Western Canada
The thousands of U. S. farmers who have accepted
Canada's generous offer to settle on homesteads or buy
farm land in her provinces have been well repaid by
bountiful crops of wheat and other grains.
Where you can buy good farm land at $15 to $30
per acre get $2 a bushel for wheat and raise 20 to
45 bushels to the acre you are bound to make money

Insane Ambition Leads His Peo
ple to Ruin.
POWER WRECKED; HE QUITS
Man Who Plunoed the World Into War
Will Go Down Into History as
Most Hated Ruler World
Has Ever Known.
The kaiser has abdicated and the
crown prince has renounced tils right
to the throne of Germany.
The grandiose-scheme of world con
quest or downfall has ended In tho
complete downfall of German military
might and of the rulo of the Uohen
tollerns. For decades tho militaristic oligarchy
of Prussia, supp-wrod by philosophers,
historians, tcacuurs, preachers nnd
men of business hud directed tho
moral, Intellectual and material re
sources of the empire along consistent
lines townrd the tremendous concen
tration and consummation of organ
ized force which In 1014 the kaiser let
loose upon the world.
Sought World Dominion.
He signed the order for the German
moblllzutlon. He stood sponsor for
tile terrorism and brlgandugo which,
under the guise of warfare, ravished
Belgium, laid wuste the cities of
France, depopulated and outraged Ser
bia and sent tho Lusltanln with her
freight of women nnd children to n
grave In tho Atlantic.
Civilization will never forget that It
vns the minions of the emperor who
olllclally shot to death Edith Cavcll,
tho English nurse who befriended tho
Hclglnns In Brussels.
Against these his cry "I did not will
the war" availed as nothing. Beforo
the bur of humanity William was ad
Judged guilty of the greatest crime
since the crucifixion. In him human
ity saw the last,of the autocrats, the
final Caesar.
Assertions that he was at heart
peaceful, so persistently circulated for
years as to give them the stamp of
German propogandn, became branded
us false. He who had long proclaimed
himself tho prince of peace stood re
vealed as humanity's scourge, and
ugalnst him and nil Unit ho represent
ed rose the new world of democracy
nnd freedom.
Claims Almighty as His Ally.
Many doubt whether William was
entirely sane. He said repentedly that
he possessed a divine mandate to rule,
that the Almighty was his "uncondi
tional and avowed ally." It Is not en
tirely clear whether such outgivings
were the product of n disordered brnln
or were due to unbounded egotism nnd
an effort to Impress his subjects with
the Idea of reverent nnd unquestioning
submission.
His speches to his armies In which
he asserted he and they were "instru
ments of divine Judgment upon Ger
many's enemies" were regarded by
many outside of Germany as pieces of
rhetoric, intended only to deceive his
own people.
Few statesmen realized that the em
peror In his "shining armor," maneu
vering his armies and fleets, building
up tho German military system, ce
menting the central empires and Tur
key, and fostering the preaching of tho
supremacy of autocracy, was erecting
a mnchlne that one day would make
war upon all civilization".
Yet the world was warned by some
far-sighted men that tho emperor
would one day bring catastrophe upon
the nations. These men saw In him
then and see him now ns a mud Inven
tor, given In his youth the most dan
gerous of all toys his army and navy.
They were his playthings. Ho de
veloped them throughout the years to
the point where he had to put them
to a test. Like a crazed Inventor, ho
feared the end of his reign would find
his Inventions untried, so grasped the
first opportunity to wage a world war.
Meantime the German war party
grew, with William nt its head, and
the scheme of world dominion awaited
tho hour to begin its attainment. It
camo with the assassination of the
Austrlnn Archduke Francis Ferdinand
and his wife nt Sarajevo.
Recalled from a yachting trip, Wil
liam presided at a conference nt Pots
dam of representatives of tho German
nnd Austrian armies, navies nnd com
mercial Interests. There, according to
the best Information obtnlnnble, tho
decision was reached to mnke the as
snsslnatlon of the arclMluke a pretense
for the world war for which Germany
hnd long prepared.
In the diplomatic exchnnges between
Germany nnd Austrlu on one side and
Grent Britain, Frnnce and Itussln on
the other William posed as one wishing
for pence but driven to war.

that moment war was Inevitable.
Publication of the " Oly-Nlcky"
correspondence Ip 1017 placed tho Ger
man emperor In the light of an unscru
pulous plotter. The telegrams disclosed
that Emperor Wllllum had Induced
Emperor Nicholas of Itussln to slgu a
secret agreement to which he was to
force the adherence of France In the
perfection of an offensive and defens
ive alliance against England. Tho
treaty was discovered and repudiated
by a Itusslnn minister.
Fulling In his attempt, the Gorman
emperor set upon himself the tusk of
drawing England tw his side ngnltist
France and Itussln.
How well ho thought he hud suc
ceeded In this mny be gathered from
n letter ho wrote to President Wilson
In 1014 In which ho snld ICIng Georpo
hnd promised Prlnco Henry of Prussia,
on July 20, 1014, that Englund would
remain neutral In a war Involving tho

sia. Llchnowsky Show Up Intrigue.
Perlmps the most direct nnd ntiorl
tatlve of the, accusations against tho
German emperor nnd the pun-Germans
are contained in the published secret
memorandum of Prince Chnrlcs Mux
Llchnowsky, who was German urn
bnssndor ut London at the outbreak of
hostilities.
The prince unequivocally placed tho
blame for the war on Germany, nnd
for his frankness wns Imprisoned In a
Slleslun chateau, permanently expelled
from the Prussian house of lords,
which nctlon was sanctioned by the
emperor, and finally was exiled to
Switzerland.
Emperor William's domination over
German stntesmen, diplomats and tho
high command of the German army
was oinnhnslznri bv Dr. Wllhclm
Muehlon, a former director of tho
Krupp works, tho great German muni
tions factory, In his book on "Tho
Devnstutlon of Europe." in this he
not only laid blame upon Germany for
bad fiuth and criticized the German
army for Its brutality but asserted that
In the German foreign ofllce "only ho
who did the emperor's bidding was ul
lowed to remnln." "They could not
do better," he declared, "because of
tho character, the power, thu vascilla
tlon of nnd continued Interference by
the kulser."
It was Doctor Muehlon who asserted
the authenticity of the statement that
Emperor Wllllnm stated at a meeting
of German army oillcers that ho hnd
plenty of prisoners and that he hoped
the ofllcers would see that no more
prisoners were taken.
Maximilian Harden, a German lib
eral leader, declared the German ruler
brought on the war because of his de
sire "for something like world rule."
"No Nonsense From Us,"
The emperor, despite his previous
expressions of good will for America,
gave vent to his anger ngnlnst tho
United Stutes when It became evident
no olllclal uctlon would be tnken to
stop the shipment of munitions and
supplies to the entente allies' by de
claring to tho American nmbnssador,
James W. Gerard, "I shall stand no
nonsense from America nfter tho
war."
William's designs to spread German
dominion In Asia found expression In
his famous visits to Constantinople
when ho was proclaimed as protector
of the Moslems. In this the world Baw

Frledrlch Wllhclm Victor Albert wns
born January 27, 1850, and became
Emperor William II on the death of
his father, Frederick ni, Juno 15, 1888.
He came out of tho University of Bonn
fully prepared to enter tho school of
statecraft. Set to work In the govern
ment bureaus, he was early taught tho
routine of ofllclnl business under tho
tutcluge of tho grent Bismarck.
At the death of his father, the im
perial throne devolved upon William
II, who was then but twenty-nine
yenrs of uge. Bismarck continued as
chancellor, but not for long.
In 1800 the disagreement of the two
men reached n crisis, a rupture came
and Bismarck went. The relutlons be
tween tho two men remained strained
for severnl years, but before Bismarck
died peace was made between .hem.

"I cannot of course, say what tho

could be further from the thoughts of
the Australian people than to extend
tho sumo treatment to Germany In re
