Fresh Beef Travels
on a Rapid Schedule

Fresh beef for domestic markets goes
from stockyards to retail stores within
period of about two weeks. Although
chilled, this meat is not frozen; hence it
cannot be stored for a rise in price.
A steer is dressed usually within
twenty-four hours after purchase by
the packer. The beef is held in cooler
at the packing house, at temperature a
little above freezing, for about three days.
1t is then loaded into refrigerator
car, where similar temperature is
maintained, and is in transit to market
on an average of about six days.
Upon arrival at the branch distrib-
: uting house, it is un1oaded into cooler,
and placed on sale.
Swift & Company requires all beef to
be sold during the week of arrival, and
3. the average of sales is within five davs.
H.. Any delay along the above journey
means deterioration in the meat and
loss to the packer.

 Seek Closer Relations

Mexico City, November ao.-A project providing for closer commercial union with the Latin-American countries, in- yolvingS competition with the Panama ca nal. was presented to the Mexican gov ernment today by Jose A De Lavelle, commercial envoy from Peru to Mexico.
 The project provides for the forma= ton of steamship companies by all Nthe Latin-American governments operating lines on the Atlantic~and Pacific coasts, with bases at both ends of the Tehaun- tepec railway. M
 This. railway crosses the Isthmus of Tehauntepec, the termini of which are the ports of Coazacoalcos. on >the Gulf of Mexico, and Salina Cruz, on the Pa cific and is now wholly controlled by the Mexican government. The isthmus itself at one time formed the subject of proposed interoceanic canal.
 It Is asserted that by this method freight charges between the various coun- tries can be fixed lower than Is now pos- sible by way of the Panama canal. The Mexican government will > present the plan to other Latin-America6 govern nents.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 IS URGED BY TAFT

Oxford, Ohio, November 30.-William Howard Taft, speaking before an audi ence tonight at Miami university on the League of Nations said the German peopie were as much responsible for the war as the Hohenzollern, by reason Of their faulty education and the false phil osophy they had been taught for years. they were willingly led.
 Mir Taft said President Wilson had once announced himself as favorable to the establishment of a league of nations, 'but had since grown hilSewarm. How ever, it was hoped he said that when the President got on the other side he would change his attitude.
 He said that-the United States, on ac- count of it's dominance as a world DOW CT, was the logical nation to push the matter of the international league and that this country cannot draw back into it's shell and say we will live unto our selves and let the other nations go as they please.
 Commenting on the objection offered by some people that d league of nations would be unconstitutional. MT. Taft said such objections were not only H. logical but ridiculous.

 Regulations

Paris. November 30.--(By the Associated Press J-The newly appointed mayor of Metz has issued proclamation express ing his delight at being again under the French flag after So many years of op- pression and after a four years reign of terror.
 Let us not be carried away by joy, but remain worthy of the sympathy of the whols world. which Is regarding us,' the proclamation says.
 Addressing the German born inhabit- ants, the proclamation continues:
 Perhaps you are asking in terror what awaits you. I was. in 1914. one of the first of the numerous victims of your government, which was not ashamed to throw into filthy prisons peaceable citi- zens who had always shown respect for your laws Who would dare to deny that severe vengeance Is not legitimate to- day? But we are I&ench, and we place duty. equity and justice above every thing
 The mayor promises the German born inhabitants the fullest protection of their rights if they. observe the regulations, but warns against any attempt to stir mp trouble or excite the population.

AMERICAN ESCORT

I London, November 30.--President Will son, on reaching European waters, in all Likelihood will be escorted to Brest only by American warships, but by a formidable array of them. In view of the lack of official notification regard ing MT. Wilson's trip it is understood neither the French nor the British gov ernments have been requested to aid In the naval reception. The British au- thorities, however, dnofficialiy are dis cnssing plans to welcome tho American President should he come here.
 AmericanN battleship commanders, probably all nine of them in these waters, are understood to be holding themselves in readiness to proceed to a point 100 miles or so off Brest to meet the presidential liner and, the men-o'- war accompanying 1t. It is probable 24 American torpedo-boat destroyers will Join in the reception.
 There is no Likelihood. it is stated here. that the warships will proceed as far as the mid-Atlantic for the meet ling, as has been stated.
