Germany's political upheayal may be as pro
foundly important in world history as the Russian
successful revolution, it may be merely surface
squalI, with the deeper waters untouched. And IN
these deeper waters are the powerful military and
naval ofieials and the iunker leaders who now are
responsible for Germany's ruthlessness and over

The dispatches from Washington indicate that
the ministerial upheayal does not bring assurance
of change in military policy. That remains to be
seen. Germany's masterful censorship in the past
two months has prevented news of happenings in

For weeks the newspapers have been allowed to pub

In renly Mr. Armour said:

In reply Mr.. Armour said: .
"Mr. Armour has directed me to
reply to your letter Of recent date in
which you discussed the price of
meats. a@
you qoute the price Of Star bacon
at 35 and 40 cents and then express
the opinion that the packers could, If
they would, lower prices materially,
thereby reducing the cost Of living.
Apparently you take It for granted
that the packers arbitrarily determine
the price Of meat. That assumption
Is wrong, as Is evidenced by these
facts:
Price is determined by cost Of pro-
duetion plus cost Of preparation, plus
cost Of distribution and the profits. It
IFS q fact recognized In federal Stats
tics that the Chicago packers do bus
mess on the lowest margin Of profit
OF any Of the great modern industries.

knowledge that the wonderful eff
