Alexandretta's Value.

In acquiring the Gulf Of AleXandretta
Russia will gain a splendid naval and com
n1ercial base, will acquire that section Of
the Bagdad railroad which extends from
the Cilician Gates in the Taurus 70 the
Valley of the Upper Euphrates. And by
using the upper reaches Of this river she
can push a new railroad down from the
Caucasus through Erzerum TO the Medlter-
ranean. Only the British possession Of
Cyprus. which faces this Gulf, will in any
measure weaken the value of the position
from a naval point of view, and if Britain
should, as has been suggested, cede Cyprus
to Greece, the Russian position would be
still better.
On the map it will be seen that the Rus
sian plan will stretch long, wide arm
straight down from the present Russian
territory TO the Mediterranean, and the
hand will hold the shores of the beautiful
Gulf Of Alexandretta. one of the most i'm
portant commercial bases of the future in
the Mediterranean.

thus fall to Russia if the Allies win the

bowed France long ago discarded the
policy which led Napoleon III to ally HIM
self with Britain for the Crimean War
and left France without Russian aid IN
the Franco-Prussian War. Britain, equally
Influenced by the German menace, has
made a similar surrender, casting the
Beaconsfeld policy into the waste basket.
Italian and Russian purposes have long
ago been reconciled, and the downfall OF
the Central Powers will infallibly be ac-.
companied by the conquest Of CONSTANT

Establishment on the foundations Of the
Byzantine Empire.
Turkey Nearly Wiped Out.
But it is not merely the possession OF
Constantinople by the Slay that has been
provided for in agreements between the
enemies Of Germany. The wellnigh COM
plete extinction of Turkish independence
is another and even more farreaching cir
cumstance. To-day there exist in all the
Allied capitals maps on which are drawn
the lines Of the future in Asia Minor, pro-
vided that the Allies win the war IN Eu-
rome. Possessed to-day Of an empire three
times as large az France or Germany, the
Turk is tomorrow TO be restricted TO

Asia Minor, the ancient home OF the
Osmanli. and Russian, French, Italian and
British protectorates are TO cover the bal

salem.

mean TO leave him out Of an empire before
the war containing more than 100000

followed the trend Of the training,
however, are impressed with the pos

Figures concerning the meat an
bette Of the United States given IN
Swift & Company's year book show
that we are nation, Of meat eaters,
and that the price Of meat is the
food problem which most concerns
the American family.
Louis r. Swift, president Of Swift
y Company, discussed the wholesale
price Of beef during 1915 In his state
ment to the stockholders meeting an
Chicago recently. He said: sIn 1915
NE paid the stock raiser more for
eattle, while selling beef to the re-
kailers st q lower price. The whole
Bale selling price Of beef sold in the
principal csues during 1915 was
311.l6 per aandredweight, and dur

This il viii be sea; that the whole

And I've even heard some mothers,
Who have sons away from home,
Sit and criticize soldier
Worse than ever should be known.
Dear friends, I've been in other cities
That were up-to-date and modern

And they did not scorn soldier
Or abuse him with their frowns.

And he loves her as no other,

same time wants 20 see the consumer
satisfied. The packer dos not con-
troll either supply or demand, and
must IN the end be governed by these
clements
The real test of the economic eff
flclency of any business is the per-
eentage Of profit on each dollar of
sales, and usually the larger the vol
umc of business transacted, the
smaller the rate of profit. In the
case of Swift & Company the profit
was 2.08 cents on each dollar, but
the large volume of $500 900 900
worth of business enabled the COM
pany to make fair return on the
money invested. and paid dividends
70 their stockholders, of whom there
are more than 21,000.
The results of the business for
1919 were more profitable than in
previous years, because of the in
creased value of the by-products.
The modern packer makes all of
his expenses and profit out of parts
OF the steer which under old Methods
were thrown away.

School Board Trustee Charles Pet
erson came out against the new Loeb
rule last night. He said he was in.
favor of doing away with the method
by which 6S teachers, most of them
competent, were fired from their
school jobs. ..... .
Peterson is a staunch. Mason. His
change of attitude on the Loeb rule
question is supposed to indicate that
the Masons are beginning to realize
that.reigious prejudice was used to
further political ends of members of Z
the Loeb rule faction.
