Along with tho strong demonstra tions for peace comes a demonstration last Sunday for the continuation of the war. Gathered In front of the Bismarck statue in Berlin, a mam moth throng of people appealed, to the government for a continuation of the war until "our adversaries are con quered." Declaring that the peace offered by tho allies aro an ujust and humili ating peace, the German peoplo gath ered In tho "war demonstration" In sisted that the Invaders be fought to the final count. The demonstration Is tho first of Its sort for many months, most of the crowds within tho past few weeks demanding peace at what ever the cost. Kaiser Need Not Abdicate, It is positive now that the the rolch stag havo given their support to Kaiser Wilhelm after the three day deliberation as to what action should be taken. They havo now stood firm that the Kaiser need not abdicate and that the Hohenzollerns should remain on the imperial throne. The radical party, the liberal party, the woman's social party and tho socialist party of southern Germany are for the em peror. The Berlin Antzeiger stated that the reichstag members are opposed to the indication of the kaiser and w(ish the Ilohenzollorn dynasty to continue on tho throne. :o: ; NEVILLE SENDS REGARDS TO HIS SUCCESSFUL OPPONENT. of prisoners a good losor and today sent his op- Llogo and Mouzon sovonty miles.

Infantry. o: A writer in one of the dally papers says: A Sntere3ting race this now going on between the armies In the field and tho peace negotiations. What makes it the more interesting is the divi sion in 'Germany between the peace-at-any-prlco commonalty and the fer ocious, swashbuckling Junkers. There is much news frcm Germany that we should take with a grain of salt, but of the existence of a division of sen timent on prolonging the war no proof is needed. In the United States there is a division of sentimeat very skilfully augmented by the pro-Germans. Their latest propaganda Is, why continue to sacrlllco tho lives of our boys when wo have the enemy beaten? The reply comes from Ger many in tho .form of the aforemen tioned division of sentiment. Wo have not convinced the junkers that we have Germany beaten. They aro fight ing for tho preservation of their class and caste, and for tlmo in which to prepare for another assault upon the world's peace. At any rate, General Foch his about ten days In which to conquer tho Ger man armies in Belgium and France, and In this connection It is well not to forget that the Hun Is yet flgh ng on foreign soil. He is in Franco and juoigium, ana the allies do not occupy a foot ot German soil, excepting that slice of Alsace, whjch is rightfully French soli. He is now fighting for time and praying for an early and harsh winter. Tho news states thnt the allies are beginning to regret that negotiations of any kind wore begun with enemy as events show that the Germans could be oxpelled by force, conquered nnd beaten, if active operations in tho field were continued. It is late In the day to reach this conclusion. There ils a stiff lighting snlrit loft in the Gorman army, but, taken as a whole, it must have reached a low average ruoralo if, as the dispatches say, the strong natural defenses of the Mor nml forest wore passed for an artificial line north and oast of It. : :o: : Aiit4IniiK Balk on Peace Terms. Tho. Autsrians, spurred on by the militarists of Germany, seem to bo balking over a clause In tho peaco terms offored them. The dispatches any : "Amsterdam, Nov. 5. Austria will protest against tho Interpretation of uny clause in the armistice as mean ing thnt onomy armtos aro ontltled to attck Germany thru Austria, accord h.g to advices from Vienna." This, coming thru Amsterdam, must no viowou with suspicion. It is prob- ablo, however, as Prussian Influence at tho Austrian court Is still strong. Tho allies do not care whothor the Austrlans accedo to tho terms ot tho nnnistico or not. Tho Austrkm army can do no moro than protect itself Mi the rear as It runs. The prediction of n fierce naval bat- ue in imp jiiacK soa sounds iiko a jOKO. : :o: : Huroc.lorsoy Male l'tes- For Sale Twenty head. Thee aro registered, fllhay will not bo kopt over thirty days.

So it is with the packing bus iness. The mere size of Swift & Company confuses many. Because their imaginations are not geared up to scale, they be lieve there must be magic in it somewhere some weird power. Swift & Company is just like any other manufacturing business run by human beings like yourself; it takes in raw material on the one hand and turns out a finished product on the other. Swift & Company keeps down the "spread," or the expense absorbed be tween raw and finished material, to as Iowa figure as possible. (If it didn't it would be put out of business by others who do.) How much Swift & Company pays for the raw material, and how much it gets for the finished product, depends upon conditions which' Swift & Company does not control. It depends entirely upon how much people want the finished product, and how much raw material there is avail able to make it from. The profits of Swift & Company amount to less than one cent per pound on all meats and by-products less than one-fourth of a cent on beef.
