though the early estimate of ZIG cars

heavy local receipts and sharply
lower provision opening packers were
very hearish. Shippers bought quite a

steady prices on lambs Tuesday, but
packers first bids were around 25c

AUSTRIAN SUBJECTS.

It is quite evident that the admin istfation feel that tact must be used in connection with the Austrian sub jects in this country now that a state of war has been declared between this country and Austria This is re- f1ected in the proclamation which has been issued by President Wilson to the effect that the unnaturalized Aus tro-Hunsarians should be free to live and travel anywhere except that they may not leave or enter the country without permission They are not to be made to register like the German subjects and the reason for this is that tho sentiment among large part of these people is different than 1t Is among the Germans, There are many Hungarfans, Rumanians Czechs, Slovacs. who are really subjects of the dual monarchy but who are not in sympathy herewith and who will continue to carry on their lahors in this country as they have been doing in the past.
 This indicates the difficulty in es- tab,ishing rules which would exclude such labor in the many industries of the country where it is needed and unquestionably makes it advisable to keep such people as they are, aliens, without driving them into the classi- f1cation of enemy aliens.
 Such, however, cannot be permitted to stand in the way of determining who and where those subjects of Aus tria are who arc prepared to do just what many of the subjects of Ger many have been doing and make themselves a decided menace to this nation. Thus while there is the dis position to treat those who are pre- pared to do the right thing with con- sideration there ought not to be neg lected any precautions which will deal with the others they should be. 1t is preferable that we should be alert (. to our own welfare. We can leave no loopholes for Germany

INVESTIGATING WAR WORK.

In the early days of the present session of congress an investigation has been started for the purpose Of learning what the real conditions are regarding ordnance as well as the supplies and conditions at the mili- tary camps The need Of such has been emphasized by statements of those who have been informed in one way or another regarding these mat tors and who consider that it is time that there was an improvement if what they have observed and have been told is true.
 ffds country has suffered seriously from lack of preparation in spite of all tFnat has been urged in it's behalf. The ckaim is even now being made that the present programme calls for the providing of material in one year which it had been arranged to secure in five years but that does not pro- vide the necessities now or give any definite assurance that the proper steps are baing taken to get them at the earliest possible moment.
 But right at this time comes infor- nation to the effect that one of the supply ships which has been carrying goods to our soldiers in France has returned to this country with 150 tons of beef in a refrigerator compartment. This was not discovered until the -ouhd trip had been completed and the meat had spoiled because the re- trigerating machinery was not oper- ated on the return trin because the cargo was supposed to have been dis charged. What seems more surpris- ing is that the master Of the ship brought back a receipt showing that the full cargo had been received on the other side. This indicates nothing less than gross neglect of duty and careieSsness and if such exists re- rarding other war prepare tiens it is time that It was known and an inn mediate check applied.

PUNISH THE PRoFiTEERs.

E Ever since it was announced that those who preferred to go contrary to the regulat ons set forth by federal authorities to the effect that profit : eering would not he tolerated there has been Q. question as to what the government, was going to do in such cases, what the punishment would be ssnd how it would be applied in the case of deal CTS who persiseds in talk irE advantmy ye or the customers who must have certain commcdities
 Even thoagh food administrators have repeatsily stated that it was a violation of the law to go contrary to the ethets regarding prices there have been those who have either been unw Elins to abide by such resula tionsa and are determined to have their own waS. CT else they have not been fully impressed with the deter minatpn of the authorities to- uphold their position >
 Sfeps have been taken, however, which ought to clarify this situation by the action of the food board in New York state where two licensed grocers have been found guilty of selling sugar for more than the off, cial price and it is announced that these dealers licenses will be- revok ed and tfvey will be put out .fof busi- ness for the period of the war. Such action wi7l do more than threats and where the practice of gofuging the consumer is persisted in it. cannot be carried out any too soon. With such penalty enforced a few times it is bound to have the desired effect upon that class of dealers. They deserve no mercy.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Enemy Weak in Artillery

It was clear at a glance that the enemy was weak in artillery. One of our pattaliens. the Royal Fusiiiers. gained their objectives without a sin- gle casualty. Other battalions of English county regiments had vefy light losses, and they were mostly from rnachine-gun bullets. At the field dressing station on the seuther., part of the attack they had only re- eefved 200 walking wounded by eleven o'clock in the mornfng-iye hours OF so after the battle began.
 They were very few as battles go
 now, but I hated to see those poor fellows coming out Of the fighting and making their way down in bhg. long trails to the dressing station. Some of them could hardly hpbbie. and every few hundred yards had to sit down and lean up against the bank of a sunken road.
 Some of them were helped down by German prisoners. and it was queer to see one of our men with his arms round the neoks of two Germans, German wounded. helped down by our men less hurt than they. walked in the same way. with their arms reuHd the flecks of our men, and sometimes an English soldier and g GerHlhn soi-

Little is known about the new gov ernnent which it Is claimed has been set up in Siberia in the cabinet of which Kerenslzy is said to be rainis- ter of justice.
