AMERICAN WAR AIMS.
Set Forth by Letter to Pope and
Message.

Message.
Washington, d. c. Dec. 29.-Amer.
ica's war aims are regarded by the
administration as having been suffic-
iently disclosed in President Wilson's
reply to the pope's last peace prOpos.
al and in his recent message to con-
gress. Consequently unless there are
further developments in the peace pro-
paganda set afoot by the Germans and
Austrians through their negotiations
with the Russian Bolsheviki, there Is
no intention on the part of the Unit
ed States government of attempting
to elaborate or expound the state
ments of American purpose laid
down in those documents.
It is fully understood in Washington
that there may be internal reasons in
entente countries for making some
concessions to certain powerful polit-
ical elements which are pressing for
another statement of the entente's
war aims. These considerations will
be weighed and acted upon in the
discretion of the government of those
countries.
The decision involved is regarded of
great Importance because of the
possibility that divergent statements
might afford the German plotters .Op-
portunity to weaken the ties that bind
the allies together

Not only the rendering business but

declared. Large markets were estab

large cities where packers named thu

Many of the witnesses heard today
gave their versions of being driven
out of business by what they termed
the trust, or 6f>getting into the CON-
bine in order to live. Two of the wit
nesses enlivened the session by voic-
ing their defiance to the packers.
John Glennie of North Andover, a
man Of the rugged type, stated that he
had refused an offer of $250,00O for
his plant, which, according to his OWE
estimate, was not worth more than
$4,000. =
Big Offer For Plant.
This offer was made, he said, when
the trust" tried to put him out of
business. They resorted first to the
usual methods he said, of bidding up
prices for raw materials, by hiring
away his men and by leasing" away
his customers by the bonus system.
"Finally,"r he said, "a representative
of the combine came to me and said
that sympathetically he was sorry,
but if persisted in being stubborn it
would be necessary to put me out of
business, much as the members of the
combine hated to do it." r
"And you persisted?" asked Mr..
Heney.
