 Prompt measures should determine with despatch the extent of the plot and the packers thereof. That it will prove to be the result of individual action rather than a scheme promoted by another government is believed. Conmendable are the steps which have been taken in New Orleans The guilty parties should be run down and the proper punishment administered, while the situation calls for the most careful supervision in the future to prevent any further efforts of the kind.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

The National Geographic society's seni-weekly statement bearing on the war geography of Europe just pre- pared, deals with the immediate field in the Eastern theatre and with Mon aco, the vest pocket government that lives by it's gaming tables:
 "The Government of Warsaw, oc- eupying a narrow strip of land in the heart Of Russian Poland, where vast military operations have been in pro greSs for weeks, is one of the richest manufacturing districts of the whole Russian Empire. The importation of industries by the Muscovites has taken it's way over this fiat plain northward, and great many of these industries have halted not far from the borders, nearer to the skilled labor markets for machinery and raw materials than would be the case deeper in the hin- terland. Thus, the textile industry crossed into Russian territory, and, for the great part. remained in the War saw Government. Iron and steel work working follow the textile mills, and the manufacture of boots and shoes hosiery, sugar, tobacco, furniture, ma chinery and making have grown up around the working of the two most important modern staples, iror ] ana flores.
 Warsaw, the capital of the Govern ment of Warsaw as it is the capital oi the General Government of Russian | Poland, is the industrial center. The | value of the annual output of manu- factures of the government is esti- mated at between $6o 100000 anc ] $65, ,000,0 GOO, and of this the city ot l Warsaw produces nearly three-fifths 1 Cotton and woolen goods and pro- 1 ducts of iron and steel make up tht l bulk of this value Footwear, leather goods and beet sugar are, however items of considerable importance il

HEN and NOW

Today there are more than 1,60o wholesale meat packing ana slaughtering establishments in the United States producing dressed meat and by-products valued ID the aggregate at $1, 100000. It is the largest single industry Tn America in point of value of pro- ducts and ,a it over 100000 per- sons are dependent for livehhoods. The plants form a vast foodmil through which pass annually more than 56, ,000, ,0O0 beeves, calves, hogs, sheep and lambs. goats and kids As an illustration of what this, vast drove of animals means. 1t has been estimated that they weigh on the hoof more than all the people in the United States would welsh with their clothes on. Divided equally among every man, woman and child in the nation each would have 1s3 pounds of live food material, and not to mention the ap-oils. glue fertilizers and leather coming in the form of by-products- The greatest center of the industry is stiH at the stockyards in Chicago, which were opened forty mine years ago. Here more animals are converted into meat in a day than were slaughtered in a year in the old-tiLn abattoirs prior to the civil war. 1t requires daily more than 4sG00 cattle ears to bring in the stock over the thirty nine railroads that empty into the Chicago stock yards. It is said that if these daily arrivals were ar ranged in a single file. head tc tail. they would form solid procession more than 200 miles long and with the animals travelling 20 miles a day it would require 10 days for them to pass given point.

ical drownings out of the country by the Bug and Vistula- The lowlying grounds are boggy. The government embraces an aera of 5,6Oo miles, ana houses a population of about 2, 100000 The land is mostly low and flat, brok- en only here and there by low hills in the south and by the high-terraced banks on the left of the Vistula in the northwest. The Vistuia forms the northern boundary of the government and is its principal artery of trade On the west, it is bounded by the Prussian frontier. The herd-grazing of eastern Prussia is carried on into the Government of Warsaw, and, com bined, it's herds of horses, cattle, sheep and swine number about 1,50O 900 head. In the eighteenth century. when the City of aWrsaw, next to Paris, was the most brilliant city in Europe, this fiat plain was unusually rich in herds and in geese fiocks. though all most bare of manufactures.
 Monaeo-'swar has struck it's hard est blow at the existence of Monaco. Without blockade, without even being made an object of hostility, the in- dustries of this little principality have been entirely swept away. Monaco, the worlds smallest state, situated on the brilliant Riviera, earned it's liveli- hood from gaming and catering to visitors. Gamblers and other seekers after amusement have now left it's famous pleasure city. None Carlo. and with them have gone all visible means for the support of Monaco's citizenry.
 Situated above a bay of the Medi- terranean, and linking, by it's terraces, 1 the solid blue of the Gerat Seas i waters, with the radiant blue of the azure sky, Monte Carlo is a rarely beautiful place in which to plas hol- | iday, whether one is interested in the | Casino with it's gaming tables or whether he despises such forms ot amusement. The weather is always mild, restful luxurious. It seldom

 "The show place of Monaco Is the Casino. with its saPon of play aIN tense, gold-hunery players. Here are won the profits which support the state, it's prince and great part of the natives.

PARcEL PosT.

From the inauguration of parcel post the system has not only filled a long felt want, but it has been grow ing steadily in favor throughout the country. Measured in many ways 1t is a decided success. It has wrought a decided change fin the transporta- ton business serving as g great reg ulator and catering to the relief of the sender of small packages. This is discernable every day in the year. The business that it does is the best evidence of the service 1t provides.
 It is therefore but natural that each gear should show an increase in vol ume over the preceding one. The peo- pie are getting educated to the ad- vantages which are afforded and a steady improvement can be anticf- pated for a long time to come. Even opponents of the plan when it was be- ing urged are some of the most en- thusiastfc packers of it today because it has proved its worth.
 At no time, however, can the appre- citation of the public be better noted than during the Christmas season Even in the first year before the pub- lie had become fairly acquainted witt the system it taxed the forces of Unclt Sam to handle the business and it has continued to grow each year. Such 6 growth is normal and to be expected It is the result of satisfaction. Il discloses the gEip which the service has gotten upon the public. It is z good thing and big business is the | natural result. The real surprisfne fact in connection with it all is thar the country felt content to get alons for so many years without it.

THE HORSE IN WINTER.

At the present time and for the next several months too much attention cannot be directed to the sensible care of the horse. Because they are anil raaIs and do not have the same means of registering kick against unfair treatment, they are in a great many cases neglected. Such, of course. to a, large extent represents thoughtless- ness and, a failure to consider that the beast of burden is deserving of kindness and consideration, but it is a condition which ought to be over come.
 The horse is a faithful animal when met half way and it is property which needs as much attention in the way of protection and upkeep as does any other kind. To expect a smooth shod horse to travel over ice-covered streets and hills without a load is bad enough, but when it is called upon to haul as heavy loads in that condition as when streets are in proper shape, it is cruel and unjust. Chains arc neces4 sary to keep the auto from slipping and sliding about, and it is equally as important that the horse be given a fair show. It cannot be expected to do the impossible, however much some drivers seem to expect it.
 Negligence of the horse. or any other animal for that matter, should not be tolerated. It is but right that the dumb beast should be given proper shelter, not overloaded during heavy weather and not be required to stand for hours unprotected where no hu- man beins would think of lettering for minutes It is unjust to accord the same treatment to a horse in winter that might suffice in the summer. Those who know say that the horse responds to the kind of treatment 1t receives.

Forty nine years ago today the first chartered Union stockyard--tn Chicago was formally opened Tor business. It marked the dawn of d new epoch in the feeding of the, nation. The Pilgrims were the first meatpackers, records showing that a Colonial butcher of Salem, Mass, had packed a quantity of pork as early as 1640. Meat packing as an industry did not. however. begin. until ISIS when Elisa Mills estao- lished Q small packing plant Tn tCincinnati Soon all the large centers of population had their packing plants and abattoirs to which stock raisers within a neigh borhood of hundreds of miles drove their stock for sale at the average rate of 10 miles a day Frequently the drover arrived only to find the market glutted and prices at a level which either spelled ruin for him or the necessity of leasing a large pasture in the neighborhood on which to feed his animals until the market was more favorable. Trad ing was based largely on credit. The. coming of railroads helped to solve the problem of transportation, and as those roads that tapped the stock country of the west centered in Chicago that city and the state of Illinois became the greatest cen- ter of the meatpacking industry. The stockyards buyers paid cash for stock. The discovery of the chilled meat process and the com ing of the refrigerator car and steamship made the meat packing industry one of the greatest in the country.

A FIENpIsH PLOT.

Just how serious the alleged plot discovered at New Orleans to blow up tbA vessels carrying war supplies to lbel1igerent nations will prove to be re- mains to be determined, but it de- serves the strongest probe possible and tic taking of such steps as will over- come any such possibilities in the fu- trre.
 It is realized that such vessels and cargoes are subject to seizure. Such 1s the understanding of the shipper purchaser and steamship company, but there Is nothing under the rules oi civilized nations which justifies the placing of internal machines aboard such ships for the taking oi the lives of the crews, particu- 'ariy -conbatants.

SUBMARINES.

..,H it is a fact that the navy de- 11artment of this country has positive Information to the effect that the su- perdreadnought Audacious was sunk by a submarine instead of having feuled a mine as has been generally Supposed by naval authorities both from the locality and the failure of Germany to make any claim for the destruction of that vessel, it gives further and most valuable evidence Gf the great importance of such un- derWater vessels in every navy.
 It is a matter upon which England Has kept mum at home. The sinking Was reported on the quiet to this c0untry and in a similar manner the determination that it was a subna- Tipe rather than a mine may be au- thentic, if back of it all there is proof caF the cause. Absolute. proof of it lies of course with Germany. It knows whether it was responsible for any SEch disaster and if so why other ves- esls present were not torpedoed.
 Germany has been achieving much success with the operation Of its sub 1iarines and it has demonstrated con- d1Nsively that they are possible of much 5eater use than had been credited to item They are far more than har- Dor protectors, and are bound to hold g. much more prominent place in every YeaYy henceforth.
 -Ero this country the demonstrations afe not passing without careful mo- trse. It discloses a fatal weakness in tHe efficiency of our naval equipment when those in charge admit that there is but one vessel of this kind de for immediate service on the Att l1ntic coast. If the new Audacious was so easily sunk by a. torpedo this country is sadly lacking in such tell ing engines of war.

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is the great festival day of the year observed throughout Christendom in commemoration of the birth of a Saviour. It is essentially a time for joy and gladness. It was, way back centuries ago. when the message of Peace on earth, good will Mo AnenaL1vas received and it should Ee today.
 Even though there are on this glad day, sad thoughts of the past or sor- row for things which are transpiring, ...that man" as Charles Dickens well says, "must be a nisanthrope indeed, Ii whose breast something like jo- Nia1 feeling is not aroused-in whose tilind some pleasant associations are Aot awakened by the recurrence of Christmas. There are people who will tell you that Christmas is not to them what it used to be; that each succeeding Christmas has found some cherished hope or happy prospect of the year before, dimmed or passed away; that the present. only serves to remind them of reduced circum- stances and straightened incomes-of the feasts they once bestowed on hal lowed friends, and Of the cold looks that meet them now, in diversity and misfortune. Never heed such dismal "reminiscences. There are few men who have lived long enough in the s9orld, who cannot call up such sRoughts any day in the year, There is plenty of time for the con- sideration of the sorrows of life with out snuffing out and disregarding the Spirit of Christmas. It is a time for rejoicing oyer present blessings, fol taking the opportunity to gladden. the hearts of others, and to dedicate oul lives anew to the task of bringing ; peace on earth and good will among p1en-
