On $25,000,000 Stock Issue
During the ceremony attending the

& Co., packers, the president, L. F.
Swift, made the following statement:
Having today received approval
from the capital issues committee of
the Federal Reserve board of our
plan to issue additional stock at par,
we are at liberty to announce it and
are issuing circulars to our stockhold
ers. Increased business requires in
creased capital. The extremely high
prices for live stock for which we pay
cash and the continuous increase in
cost of operation have made large de
mands upon us. We have, therefore,
decided to offer to our shareholders
$25,000,000 additional stock at par at
the rate of one share of new stock
for each four shares of old stock.
This will greatly strengthen the finan
cial position of the company and
win enaDie it to aiscnarge its tnnc-
tions with a full degree of efficiency.
This dividend is not being paid out of
earnings. It is being issued against
surplus based upon a recent appraise

KULTUR IS WORSE
THAN THE THUGS
OF OLD IN INDIA
Famous English Novelist and
Poet Tells of German Atro
cities and Their Purpose
in World War.
By RUDYARD KIPLING.
A hundred years ago, there was a
large and highly organized community
in India who lived by assassination
and robbery. They were educated to
it from their infancy; they followed it
as a profession, and it was also their
religion. They were called Thugs.
Their method was to disguise them
selves as pilgrims, or travelers, or
merchants, and to join with parties of
pilgrims, travelers and merchants
moving about India. They got into
the confidence of their victims, found
out what they had on them, and in
due time after fcteks or months of
acquaintance they killed them by
giving them poisoned foods sweet-J
meats for choice or by strangling
them from behind with a knotted
towel or a specially prepared piece
of rope, as they sat over the fire of an
evening. They then stripped the
corpse of all valuables, threw it down
a well or buried it, and went on to the
next job.
At last things got so bad that the
government ot inaia naa to uuerierc.
Like all governments, it created a de
partment the Department of Thuggee
to deal with the situation. Unlike
most departments, this department
worked well and after many years of
tracking down and hanging the actual
murderers, and imprisoning their
spies and confederates, who included
all ranks of society, it put an end to
the whole business of Thuggee.
Germans Worse Than Thugs.
The world has progressed since that
day. By present standards of crime
those Thugs were ineffective amateurs.
They did not mutilate or defile the
bodies of the dead; they did not tor
ture, or rape, or enslave peo
ple; they did not kill children for fun,
and they did not burn villages. They
merely killed and robbed in an un
obtrusive way as a matter of educa
tion, duty and religion, under the pa
tronage of their goddess, Kali and
Destroyer. Very good.
At the' present moment all the pow
ers of the world that have not been
bullied or bribed to keep out of it
have been forced to join in one inter
national department to make an end
of German international Thuggee for
the reason that if it is not ended life
on this planet becomes insupportable
for human beings.
Even now there are people in Eng
land who find it hard to realize that
the Hun has been educated by the
state from his birth to look upon as
sassination and robbery, embellished
with every treachery and abomina
tion that the mind of man can labor
iously think out. as a perfectly legiti
mate means to the national ends of
his country. He is not shocked by
these things.
Taught to do Murder.
He has been taught that it is his
business to perform them, his duty
to support them, and his religion to
justify them. They are, and for a
long time past they have been, as
legitimate in his eyes as the ballot in
ours.
This, remember, was as true of the
German in 1914 as it is now. People
who have been brought up to make
organized evil in every form, their
supreme good because they believe
that evil will pay them are not going
to change their belief till it is proved
that evil docs not pay. So far, the
Hun believes that evil has paid him
in the past, and will pay him better in
the future. He has had a good start.
Like' the Thug, the Hurh knew ex
actly what he meant to do before he
opened his campaign against man
kind. As we have proof now, his
poisoned sweetmeats and knotted
towels were prepared years before
hand, and his spies had given him the
fullest information about all the peo-
pie-he intended to attack. So he is
doing what is right in his own eyes.
-He thought out the hell he wished
to create; he built it up seriously and
scientifically with his best hands and
brains: he breathed into it his own

spirit that it might grow with his
needs; and at the hour that he judged
best, he let it loose on a world that
till then had believed there were lim
its beyond which men born of women
dared not sin.
Cold, Organized Miseries.
Nine-tenths of r.e atrocities Ger
many has committed have not been
made public. We were told the other
day that more than 14,000 English
noncombatants, men, women and
children, had been drowned, burned or
blown to pieces since the war began.
But we have no conception and till
the veil is lifted after the war we shall
have no conception of the range and
system of these atrocities.
Least of all shall we realize, as they
realize in Belgium and occupied
France, the cold organized miseries
which Germany has laid upon the
populations that have fallen into her
hands, that she might break their
bodies and defile their souls. That is
part of the German creed.
What understanding is possible
with a breed that have worked for and
brought about these things? And so
long as the Germans are left with
any excuse for thinking that such
things pay, can any peace be made
with them in which men can trust?
None! For it is the peculiar essence
of German kultur, which' is the Ger
man religion, that it is Germany's
moral duty to break every tie, every
restriction, that binds man to fellow
man if she thinks it will pay.
All Mankind Aroused.
Therefore all mankind-are against
her. Therefore all mankind must be
against her till she learns that no race
can make its way or break its way
outside the borders of humanity. The
more we have suffered in this war
the more clearly do we see this neces
siy. ' '
Our hearts, our reason, every in
stinct, in us that lifts us above the
mere brute, shows us that the war
must go on. Otherwise earth becomes
a hell without hope.
The men, the ships, the munitions
must go forward to the war, and
behind them must come the money,
without which nothing can move.
Where our hearts are, there must'our
treasure be also.
From time to time the represen
tatives of the allies meet together and
lay down what the war aims of the
allies are. From time to time our
statesmen repeat them. They all agree
we are fighting for freedom and lib
erty, for the right of small states to
exist, and for nations to decide for
themselves how they are to be gov
erned. All this we understand -and
perfectly believe. That is the large
view of the situation. What is the
personal aspect of the case for you
and me? We are fighting for our lives,
the lives of every man, woman and
child here and everywhere else. We
are fighting that we may not be
herded into, actual slavery such as the
Germans have established -by force
of their arms in large parts of Europe.
Labor Under Lash.
We are fighting against 18 hours a
day, forced labor under the lash, or at
the point of a bayonet, with a dog's
death and a dog's burial at the end of
it. We are fighting that men, women
and children may not be tortured,
burned and mutilated in the public
streets, as has happened in this town
and in hundreds of others. And we
will go on fighting till the race who
have done these things are in no po
sition to continue or repeat their of
fense. If for any reason whatever we fall
short of victory and there is no half
way house between victory and defeat
what happens to us? This. Every

relation, every understanding, every
decency upon which civilization has
been so anxiously built up will go
will be washed out, because it will
have been proved unable to endure.
The whole idea of democracy, which
At hnttom is what the Hun fights

minds, because it will luvc "een
shown incapable of maintaining it
self against the Hun. It will die; and
it will die discredited, together with
every belief and practice that is bascjl

What Kultur Means.
The Hun idea, the Hun's root
notions of life, will take its place
throughout the world. Under that
dispensation man will become once
more the natural prey, body and
goods, of his better armed neighbor.
Women will be the mere instrument
for containing the breed, the vessel
of man's lust and man's cruelty; and
labor will become a thing to be
knocked on the head if it dares to
give "trouble, and worked to death if
it does not. And from this order of
life there will be no appeal, no possi
bility of any escape. This is what the
Hun means when he says he intends
to impress German kultur which is
the German religion upon the world.
This is precisely what the world has
banded itself together to resist. It
will take every ounce in us: it will
try us out to the naked soul. Our
trial will not be made less by the
earnest advice and suggestions that
we should accept some sort of com
promise, which means defeat, put
forward by Hun agents and confeder
stes among us. They are busy in that
direction already. But be sure of this:
Nothing nothing we may have to
endure now will weigh one feather
weight compared with what we shall
most certainly have to suffer if for
any cause we fail of victory.

an Idea of what it's Hit about. But we
we know.
Looking in Who's Who (the "English
one) 'we came upon certain biographical
particulars relating to Wilfrid Meyneil,
among them the perplexing item, "Recrea
tion, serendipity."
We have never pretended ta. so much ai
a bowing acquaintance with some of the
words in the English language. The mem
ory lingers of the time when a reader atkej
the what-d'yo-call'lt of transposed letters oi
syllables; for example, meaning to say:
"Plcasa pass the marmalade" you observi
Instead. "Please pass the parlor maTd."
It took us weeks to find out that thi.
particular slip of the tongue is known
though somewhat restktedly, as a spooner
ism, after the respected Spooner of Cv
ford, whose lips were forever playing hlir
false in that fashion.
"Serendipity" stumped us. But the die
tlonary and a member of the Columbii
faculty lent aid. Serendipity, we were In
formed, means "the ability to find valuablf
thing's unexpectedly." The term comes froir.
a fairy tale, "The Three Princesses of Seren
dip," the heroes of which "were continual
ly finding valuable articles .by chance." Th
word was coined by Horace Walpole. Ser
endip or Serendlb was an old name o:
Ceyfcin.
So Mr. Meynell's recreation became ex
ceedingly clear. Ha cultivates the ablli'v

more than Interesting; It was like a 10.000.-O00-candle-power
