tcern is perhaps largely due to the
high grade of the cattle of Uruguay
as well as to the cleanly and scien-
tific manner OF the preparation OF
the product. The writer of the ar
ticle in the Bulletin states:
Fray Bentos has been called the
greatest kitchen in the world. On
scme days $500 head of cattle are
lslaughtered, then treated so as to get
| the finest meat from them, the bones
and ribss, the intestines, tails, sin
esw, hois. and other parts being re-
served for various uses. But this
special meat is subjected to scientific
preparation; 1t is cooked, to be sure.
in real kitchen. and with the best
possible care and attention to detail.
There are chemists. laboratories. en-
gineers. and authorities on technical
matters, all engaged In cooking the
beef SO as to turn it out in the most
acceptable form as the well known
and popular extract. The company is
OF sanized with system OF help to
the employees, for improving their
physical, material and moral welfare.
1t maintains an almost model city
around its factory, and has repu-
tation for enterprise and fair dealing
which gives 1t an enviable place in
the business world"
or more interest to the people of
the United States. however. is the
fact that Uruguay has upwards Of
5000. 1000 head of cattle and 49,
100000 sheep on its fertile plains,
and that 1t will very soon be taken
into serious consideration as a source
of meat supply for the great republic
of the North. During the first four
months of 1914 the United States
imported meat to the value of ST.
23O.752 from Uruguay. II the
months OF March and April may be
taken as a criterion the annual i'm
portation will amount to about $5,-
O0O. 900. and the trade is as yet in
Its first stages. With the rise in price
of refrigerated beef Uruguay can be
depended upon as being an important
factor in the markets of the world,
and instead OF converting its fine
cattle into jerked beef new refriger-
ating plants will be sending chilled
or frozen quarters to New York by
the ship-load. The demand exists
now. and the only question is how
much can Uruguay supply? With
81 800. 900 acres of its territory de-
voted to pasture and grazing. the
sturdy little country ought to cut
some considerable figure.

without the soldiers Is a matteer of
very nice speculation. Peace was
restored pretty suddenly when the
uniform which should be "spat upon
appeared.
Suppose the nation disarmed to-
morrow, discharged the police. sold
all the battleships to foreign powers,
and threw the rifles OF the army into
the river.
The cause OF peace in the United
States would be set back thousand
years.
Riot. anarchy. and socialism would
stalk abroad throughout the land.
These United States would be thrown
into chaos.
Suppose the Socialists were to at
tain their ideal next week. or next
year. or next century. The necessity
for soldiers to enforce the laws
would not be lessened one iota. I'm
less the whole world attains one uni
versal plane of culture at the same
time armies will be necessary. II one
highly civilized nation disarmed,
some lusty young barbarians seeking
adventure would destroy 1t.
It can hardly be supposed that #
the Socialists established their ideal
that every one alive would support 1t.
Some discordant element would have
to be suppressed. and it is not likely
that Socialists would resent slur
against their soldiers the less keenly
because they supported the estab.
lished government.
All honor to the young men that
wear the nations uniform. IL they
perform their duty unquestioning.
the greater glory is theirs.
The majority of men in the Unit
ed States service. however. are not
ignorant, but well educated, healthy
young men who prefer to take their
youthful service in foreign lands,
over sea where fighting is In pro-
gress.

First Extract-of-Beef Factory Locat-
ed at Fray Bentos, Uruguay.

With porterhouse steak at so cents
the beef-eaters of the world are get
ting somewhat worried, especially
those who happen to be domiciled in
the United States. Argentina is sup
plying some of her product, but when
the enormous total of Uncle Sans
consumption is taken into considera-
tion the quantity imported Is not
even a much as to proverbial drop In
the bucket. Where can we look for
mroe meat? is the e-all-absorbing ques-
Ition
In this connection it is interesting
to note an article in the July num-
ber of the Monthly Bulletin of the
Pan American Union, Washington,
d. c.. in which. under the title OF
Uruguay as a Cattle Country" some
interesting details as to the live
stock industry of this rich little re-
public of South America are given.
Something over hundred years
ago the hacendados tranchmen) Of
Uruguay complained to the govern
ment that over $4,000 head of cat
tie were being killed annually FOR
THEIR HIDES ALONE! The car
cases were thrown to the dogs, or
left on the rolling 2ampas for the
vultures to devour. Beef in Uruguay
was so plentiful that it was some
thing of a nuisance evidenly. or
course that day has passed, but they
still have cattle enough down there
to convert some 100000 head into
10000. 900 pounds of jerked beef in
one year, most of which is sold to
Brazil. Cuba. Porto Rico. and other
tropical countries. Think of the
juicy tenderloins of 100000 head of
cattle going into jerked beef!
Again there are many thousands Of
Uruguayan cattle annually convert
ed into extract of beef. Perhaps
but few people know that the first
great factory for the production of
beef extract known to the world was
established at Fray Bentos. little
city on the Uruguay River. about 100
miles above Buenos Aires, the cosmo-
politan capital OF Argentina. and
that it Is still doing business ''at the
same old stand" although the

Not since the period of terror during

so many mysterious shooting in Birming-

conductor, was on his way home from

with this killing, but yesterday afternoon
they were released because of lack of
sufficient evidence to hold them. The
Brooldns killing is one of the numerous
mysteries of the police department.
Last Thursday night, Hume 49, Moses
Houlihan, a young machinist. who lives
with his father Robert Houlihan, at 5Sl
South Twenty-sixth street. was with a
party of friends in a house at Thirty
fourth street and Avenue f. About 9
O'Clock. the evening being warm, the
party "chipped" in and sent Houlihan out
to get So cents worth of beer from a sa-
loon several blocks away Houlihan Sc
cured the beer and was on his way back

Thirty-second street was overtaken
by an assassin who crept up to him and
shot him through the back of the neck.
Houlihan was killed instantly.
In connection with the Houlihan killing
a negro, Jerry Ramage. was also killed
