Butcher says Few. OF HE Custom,
ers Know One Cut From
Another,

From The Kansas City Star: A
well known butcher remarked to one
OF his customers Of twenty years
standing: "Why don't the house
keepers learn about meats? There
are not more than a half dozen OF my
customers who know one cut from
the other, or why one quality OF meat
Is more expensive than another.
They come in here and say: SO and
so advertises rib roast for so much,
then / explain about the native beef
fed on corn and the Western beef that
probably hadn't had an ancestor for
several generations that had even
seen a corn cob" He was so eager
for at least one of his customers TO
have some knowledge Of the various
qualities that several cuts were
brought for her inspection from the
refrigerator. First, a splendid rib
roast at twenty cents a pound.
Besides this he put another roast at
fifteen cents, and 1t did not take an
experienced eye to note the difference
in the structure Of the tissue. The
first was firm and bright red, the
second soft and dark and streaked
with white hbrous substanA.
The first piece was our native corn
fed beef and gets firner with sew
eral weeks Of hanging, the second
grassfed from Western ranges and
will not keep satisfactorily more than
a week. There is, doubtless. as much
nourtshment in the one as in the 9TH
er. but the cornfed beef is more pala-
table and with corn 50 a bushel it is
perfectly comprehensive why 1t ts
more expensive.
There was another item of meat in

now. The defeat of the Italians
means that America will have to put
an immense army in France before
spring. Some are talking Of 100000
men being needed. They cannot be
transported and supplied with the
ships now available. The Allies must
gain on the submarine, and gain
even faster than they have been, If
America is to make herself felt.
One sentence in Sir Eric's report
touches a subject that may seem un-
important now, but it discloses a
condition that is causing the big
business interests of Germany more
worry than even the military sttua-
ton. The German merchant marine
has been cut in two since the war
began by sinkings and seizures.
Every week that the war continues
brings more nearly complete
decentralization Of the great foreign
trade Of Germany, which was forty
years in building. Even If Germany
gets a draw from the war, she will
emerge bankrupt. and face the hope
less task of rebuilding this foreign
trade. ~
Sir Eric also touched briefly on
the failure to send the fleet into the
Baltic stating that the extensive
mine fields made it hazardous ven-
ture, and one which it was deemed
wise not to undertake.
1t was the first peep behind the
curtain at the activities of the great
British feet.
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1917-11-02
A PEEP BEHIND THE CURTAIN

That the Allied nations are actually
gaining on the submarine would ap-
pear from the report of Sir Eric
Geddes, the first lord of the British
Admiralty, in his first appearance
before the British parliament yes
terday.
Sir Eric made the statement that
Great Britain had 20 per cent more
ships and 30 perscent more tonnage,
actually ahoat in September than in
April.
The weekly lists of sinkings by the
submarine have shown a steady
downward trend since April, ana Hun-
doubtedly the British shipyards have
been working under high pressure,
but few were optimistic enough to
believe that the time had come when
the shipbuilders were keeping pace
with the submarines. Sir Eric stat
ed that the net loss in British ton
mage since the war began was p
500, 900. Standardized ship aggregat-
ing 100000 tons have been aTrang-
ed for, and more than half Of them
are under construction. America has
shipping program calling for a
much greater tonnage than this, and
unless labor troubles interfere too
seriously, the Allies should show a
continued gain on the submarine.
Sir Eric's figures on the ,destruc-
ton Of submarines were also vitality
interesting, as they were the first
that have been made public since
the war began. He stated that be-
tween 40 and so per cent of the sub
marines operating since the begin
ming of the war" have been sunk.
That undoubtedly includes both the
submarines that Germany had at the
beginning Of the war and those built
and operated since then. Germany
had but As submarines on July l.
1914, and it is absurd to suppose that
not more than II to 20 U-boats have
been destroyed.
In the last three months Germany
lost as many submarines as during
the entire year of 1915. That means
the Allies are sinking them four
times as fast as formerly. Is Ger
many building them four times al
fast as in 1915? 1t does not seem
possible. Probably nobody outside
the German admiralty gould answer
this question authoritatively, but
Germany had about reached her
maximum Of war efficiency in 1916
and 1t does not seem possible that
she could have quadrupled her out
put Of submarines since then. II she
has not, the Allies are actually re-
dueing the number OF submarines
while adding to their own merchant
tonnage.
II Is a most encouraging state
ment. and it comes at time wher
encouragement Is needed. But ths
need Of ships was never so vital Al

Should Learn About Meat

That was about goats. You have
never consciously ordered a hind
quarter OF goat, but that does not
mean that you have not received one
when you ordered hindquarter of
lamb. Thousands of goats are being
slaughtered at the various packing
houses. They are not labeled, but
are hung with the lamb. and when
the butcher goes personally to select
his supplies, unless he Is most wise
even he cannot detect the difference.
This same butcher was unable to

ders for hindquarters of lamb came
in from four Of his best and oldest
customers and he telephoned for two
lambs. When they came one was a
goat, but none Of the customers got
any goat from this butcher.
Like cornfed beef. our native lamb
is far superior to that which comes
from the West and Southwest, but it
Is very difficult to buy and COM
mands an exorbitant price. If you
are fond Of lamb there Is q very nice
cut from the shoulder which is bon
ed all but the shank and rolled and
tied in equal sections (about Ave am
pie slices) and has the appearance Of
a small leg of lamb. This sells for
sixty cents. For those who like kid

delicate A half a dozen cost twenty
cents and are enough for three peo-

Other Mems Views
can Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

The st. Paul Dispatch: The
demand OF the unionized switch
men Of the railroads OF the
United States that they be given 1T
the end Of thirty days a wage in
crease OF so per cent, comes to the
country at this time with shock.
over against this shock, however, Is
another one which the public and the
authorities desiring b appraise the
matter fairly cannot ignore. This is
the fact that a 1910 scale of wages
Is poorly qualified to meet 1917
scale Of living cost prices.
How Is the matter to be adjusted ?
Is the government, under its war
time power, to take over the rail-
roads and draft their operators and
workmen into the military service
debating their rate OF pay? Are the
railroads 10 grant the demanded in-
crease, letting down the bars to sim
liar demands BY ether classes Of
workmen and sinking into a condi-
ton Of inability to earn or borrow

money or give adequate service to
the nation in time Of war?
Certainly the latter alternative Is
impossible from the points Of view Of
the nation, the public. the employea
and the operators. The former al
Tentative is also undesirable from
every point Of view. The switchmens
it is unlikely, would fare any better
than at present. The government
would have a new and gigantic adj
ministrative problem on. it's hands at
time when its facilities are already
overtaxed.
How, then. may the matter be
handled? The logical answer seems
to be that since the demand OF, the
switchmen imposes a wartime eTner-
gency upon the country, wartime
emergency measures must be invoked
to meet it. A federal agency should
be designated to investigate the prob
lem and to recommend settlement
as nearly fair as possible in the ex-
istinE predicament of the nation. This
settlement should be presented 70 the
men and their employers as the
alternative to government operation
and compulsory service on terms or
which neither the roads nor the men
will have anything to say.
Ine sole interest OF the SoNSIh
ment and the public is to keep the
railroads operating at capacity. This
interest cannot be served by letting
the roads and the men fight IL out at
this time. Not even the intrinsic
merits OF the sides can be given full
consideration. The only course left
open is for the government to offer
a well deIiberated proposition. IL this
proposition is not accepted, the only
alternative must prevail. The, roads
must be kept running until the war
is over. That is the beginning and
the end Of the matter.
