PACKERS UNITE IN
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Course of British Gorenunent ia
Meat Seizure Case it Called Into
Question Plainly.
EFFORT TO DECEIVE PUBLIC
A carefully planned campaign by
Great Britain to discredit the Ameri
can meat packers, not only with the
State, department, but with the pub
lic, possibly to strengthen England's
position and weaken the caaa of the
packers, whose $16,000,000 worth
of products hare been Illegally seised
f 3,000.000 worth of which has been
confiscated. Is seen by Chicago pack
ers in recent article sent out from
Washington. These artlclea state
that they are based on charges made
by Great Britain.

Last night a denial of the lstest
"rnartV by Grest Britain was mud by
jr. Oa-den Armour of Armour Co., O. F
Swtn. Jr. of Swift St Company and
Tiias K- Wilson of Morris Co.
"It la absolutely denied that previous
t the war any arrangement was mad
y the packers with the German anl
Aastrtan trrnments for tha sal and
transportation of meat products to them."
ay tba packer. "No payments on ac
count were mad for those governments,
as tha goods wer not sold or consigned
to them. Cm th contrary they were aold
to neutrals, with whom any American
shipper bed the right, under tha provi
sion of International law, to do buslneaa.
! A(rrnt with Germany,
"Ther was no arrangement between
tha packers and th Oermanle allies (or
th transhipment of tha products through
neutral countries to th belligerents.
"It Is positively absurd and vigorously
denied that th packers wer Insured
against loss on sny shipments by th
Herman government.
"Th prle court, In confiscating over
12,000,000 worth of products, stated that It
was on ' the assumption that th ship
ments wer destined for Oermany and
placed th burden of proof upon the
shippers.
"W repeatedly hav endeavored to
have Great Britain com to a settlement
of our claims, but our representatives
whom w hav sent to England hav
been put off from day to day, and the
only offer of settlement carried with It
a guarsnty from us against claims of
ship owners and foreign buyers, which
proposition wss prohibitive. .
Will Accept Fair Settlement.
"We are willing at sny tlm to accept
a fair and honest settlement of our
claims and are not asking anything un
reasonable. No on in apparent authority
'111 consult with us upon a proposition
for a cash settlement and we can make
little lor no headway. .
'Terms too strong cannot be used In
Scnylrtg the grossly sbsurd and im
pertinent assertion that - our losses are
protected by Oermany and Austria.

tlrmiit o! then ' prise court cases.
Negotiations were on for th purchase
by th Ui-ttisu government of th seised
cargoes.
' 'Tha negotiations have com to a
standstill.' said th foreign offloa memor
andum, 'owing to th exorbitant terms in
sisted upon by tha representatives of th
American packers.
MratniliM Mlslaadlagr.
Aa a matter of fact, though th ne
gotiations had been going on for four
months, never one had th British au
thorities objected to th prtess asked.
.They waited until th packers' repre
sentative, Alfred Urlon, was on th ocean
on his wsy horn and than they gars to
th pre this defense .invented on th
spur of th moment for th purpose of
apparently prejudicing th packers' caa
In the minds of tha American public
"Th second Instance, with the same
object in view, was th British not of
June 24, in which the- foreign of fir at
tempted to put on th packers th blame
for delay in. deciding th pels court
rams. This note wss in reply to our
State department's protest against de
lay, a protest made at the request of
our meat Interests. Th British foreign
office attempted to make our govern
ment believe that th delay was du to
request of the packers for postponement.
The fact was that th request for delsy
wss ' from Bcandlvavlan importers and
foraign buyers, not from th packer.
The Hrttlsh foreign office knew this, and
tho prise court iecors show plainly
yet, in spit of tha fact that th pack
era had nothing whatever to do with th
-quest for continuance; th' British gov
ernment, in a lormal not to th Ameri
can government, falsely stated that-It
was at th request of th packers that
the delay waa granted.
Instance Art Trpteal.
"Then two Instancea are taken aa typi
cal, but there were other of a Ilk
character which hav marked th pro
gre, of the case alnce th selsur of
' th meat cargoes last. November. Thes
are specified berause th government

accusation of declalon on th part of
the Hrltlah authorltlea. Another stria
Ing proof of the insincerity of ths Brit
tan comcnuon ui in prue court oasi
baa Just come to light. The American
meat cargoes were consigned to Scan
dinavian porta. The Hrltlah . govern
ment seised them snd confiscated them
on the ground that they wer Intended
for enemy use. The records of th prize

government wholly failed to prove that

a admitted, claiming that the . burden
of proof was on tha packers, which was
only , another way of dodiclng th iea.ie
It w apparent the lirltluh attitude
from th beginning lias been one of

General Rejoicing
Over New Chandler
Winter Motor Tops
Automobile tire manufacturer, garage
keepera and motor supply people gen
erally, find cause for rejoicing in th
development and perfection of the re
movable winter top for motor ears. Bjt
no more so thsn csr owners, and pro
spective purchasers, for with the winter
top an established auecesa. car owners
are going to get vastly more good, and
more comfort, out of their cars than
hss been possible in the past
That this development in motor csr
building In popular la shown by the
great Interest aroused locally by the
new winter top ' which the Chandler
company is supplying. This new top,
which I built specially to fit snugly and
securely on th seven-passenger1 touring
body of the Chandler Light Weight Plit,
glvea the Chandler owner a winter car
having much of the- style and handsome
appearance of a costly closed car, and
really all the comfort and protection of
on. When the pleaaant days of spring
come the owner can quickly remove this
top and put the regular folding top on
his car.
Swivel Chair for

Cheer up. you fellows who have aat
disconsolately by tha aide of the driver.
Isolated from th happy bunch back in

No more will you crane your neck and
put klnka In your back trying to get In
on th fun.
A thoughtful dealgner. undoubtedly
with memorle of front aeat rldea of his
own, haa devlaed a front seat so the man
occupying It Is not "left out."
In this new car, which Is the ' light
eight brought out by Apperson Brothers

panion seat is nothing more or leas than
a luxurious swivel chair. . It can be

' Th body Is of a new three-door typo,
th swivel chair doing away with the
necessity for th right hand door. In

The driver's seat la also adjustsble, ao

comfort.
Says America Will

"This country will likely absorb
1.000, ooo new cars annually for the next

president of th Goodyear Tire and Rub
ber company, who ha Just returned
from hia vacation and plunged Into the
activities of ' the biggest tire . company
in th world, in preparation for 1916.
' "This great volume of business," any
Mr. Selberllng, "will b American busi
ness, apart from American sales abroad.
"The great agricultural wealth of the
United Btates will continue to Insure
the prosperity of thla country. Our busl
neaa la founded on and depends upon
agriculture as a buse. And tho develop
ment ( of 'agriculture is more Important
than any other single factor In our
national welfare.
"Goodyear la now erecting six new
buildings factory additions which we
hope- to hav ready for the new fiscal

British Diplomacy is

Britain's "diplomatic failure" In th Bal

that foreign relations of th country can
not safely be left In the hands of th

"It record," says the Globe, "hss been

misfortune that Sir Edward Grey speaks
no language but his own. It is a greater
misfortune that he has been Incapacitated

all, that his permanent under secretary,
upon whom he must chiefly depend, Is
sprung from a German mother and mar

Cadillac's Largest
Enclosed Car Year
That tha enclosed type of motor car
la stesdlly gaining each year in public
favor la demonstrated In th fall busi
ness of the Cadillac Motor. Car com
pany. Last yesr this company shipped
a greater number of its closed body cars
than ever before, and ordera now on
hand Indicate that this season's business
win eclipee all paft records by a sub
stantial msrgln.
Among the reasons attributed by George
F. Helm for the heavy Increase is the
fact that people are coming to appre
ciate more and more the great comfort
to be derived from a type of car that is
especially adapted for service every day
In the yesr. .
He aald further, that the elstit-cyllnder
engine waa' also responsible to some ex
tent because It runs so smoothly that
the dull, heavy rumble associated with
enclosed .types of cars becomes a negli
gible factor in the Cadillac.
The Cadillac lln includes four en
closed body types the. standard limou
sine and the berlln. each of seven-passenger
capacity; the victoria, which ac-
j commodates . three, and the brougham
seating seven.
j The brougham Is a particularly Intet
1 ertlng model. It has one compartment
with two doors on each aide. Instead
of the usual single entrance that char
acterlxea th one-compartment type In
general. The individual front seats have
a passageway between, so that passen
gers may exchange seata without leav
ing th car. Having four doors, en
trance and exit to and from the car Is
facilitated for all the passengers. The
auxiliary seats fold into th backs of
the front seats when not in use. leaving
the rear part of th car unobstructed.
In the victoria, the top, which Is of
long-grain, bright-finished leather, can be
laid back, and the window sashes low
ered Into the door panels, converting the
car into a smart roadster.
