Basel, July 8.--Nikolai Lenine, Bol- shevik Premier, has sent the follow ing message to Nj. Joffe, Russian minister at Berlin, regarding the as- sassinotion of Count von Mirbach. the German ambassador, at Moscow:
 TWO unknown men entered the German embassy at 2 o'clock this (Saturday) afternoon, having docu- rnents from 8 speciol committee. They threw a bomb in Count von Mirbach' $ office, wounding him so severely that he died.
 Representatives of the Govern rnent immediately visited the enabas- ysy and expressed indignation at the act, which they considered as polit -Acal n1anoeuvre to provoke trouble. The Governn ent Is taking every measure to discover the murderers and bring them before a special rev olutionary tribunal.
 Extra measures have been taken to protect the German Embassy and citizens. The Government requests you to express to the German Gov ernmsnt the Russian Governn1 ent' S indignation and convey it's sym pathy to the family of the late Count

 The identity of the assassins has not been established nor have they been arrested, the message says,
 It appears, according to these ad- vices, that with Count von Mirbach when hs was attacked were Herr Ritz1er, the counsellor of the embassy, and a German officer. Neither was injured.

KERENSKY THINKS
 RUSSIA AWAKENING
Assassination of German AmbaS. Sador May Begin Renaissance

Paris, July 3.-Alexander F. Ker- ensky, former Premier Of Russia, when informed by the Associated Press Of the assassination Of Gen, Count von Mirbach, German ambas- sador ct Moscow. declared that while he could not feel elated at the death of human being" he could not help saying, it is a. good thing for Rus sia."
 M. Kerensky seemed reluctant to believe the news. asking repeatedly. Are you sure?" When informed that the news seemed perfectly re1i- able, as it originated in Berlin. he said:
 This may be the beginning of the renaissance of Russia
 But now the Germans will surely go to Moscow, he added sadly.
 It was only a few days ago that Kerensky, in G. talk with the core spondent, expressed his opinion that the only reason Gern1on troops had not yet appeared in Moscow was be- cause Won Birbach had not required their presence there.
 Should circumstances demand the appearance of German troops, said the former Premier on this occasion. Won Btrbach, the real ruler Of Rus sta, will surely call upon them. His ability to govern without the help of German bayonets has alone prevented the appearance of German spiked helm cts in the ancient capital of the Muscovite empire.'
 When asked about the prospects of 3 revolution breaking out in Moscow the former Premier was non- commit tai.
 One never knows what the Rus sian mind will conceive or what the Russian will will execute" he said. But from Moscow will come the initiative for 8, movement against Germ any.'

The Federal Trade Commission in it's recent report on war profits stated that the five large packers have been profteering and that they monopoly of the market
 These conclusions if fair and just of serious concern only those engaged in the packing business but to other citizens of OUT country. The figures given profits are misleading and the ported by the facts.
 The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to prove their profits reasonable and necessary. The meat businessis is one of the largest American in dustrles Any citizen who would famiiiarize himself with Its details must be prepared for large totals The report that the aggregate profits of four large packers were $140,00o0 000 for the three years. This is compared with s19OOo O00 as the average annual profit for the three years before the war; making it appear that the profit $121 OO00O0 greater than the prewar profit.
 This compares threeyear profit with one-year profit nanestly unfair method of comparison, It is not only misleading, but the Federal Il rade Commission apparently had made mistake in inc figures themselves The aggregate three year profit of s140000O00 was earned on sales of over four and half billion dollars It about three each do11ar of saes--or mere fraction Of a cent per pound of product
 Packers profits negligible factor prices of live stock and No other large business in conducted upon such small margins of profit.
 Furthermore--and this is very mportant-only small portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The balance has been put back into the businesses had be- you realize when you consider the problems the packers have had so1ve-and solve qucky-during these years.
 To conduct this business in times with higher costs and the necessity of paying three times the
 former prices for live stock has required the of three times the ordinary of working capital
New Britain herald., 1918-07-08


 and as has been stated the larger norfls earned has been used to finance huge8 and to provide additions and 1mprOveHax< sary by the enormous demands ot our and the Allies.
 If YOU are business man you will appra1 flCanCe Ot these facts Ii you are unaGk business talk this matter with sot6eA quaintance-With your banker say-andz compare profits of the packing industry wi1 any other large industry at the present time
  No evidence is offe ~ed by the Federal Trade I sion in support of the statement that the large have monopoly. The Commissions repoxf the large number and importance of other packers The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready t prove any fair minded person that they in keen competition with each other, and that they have no power manipulate prices. If this true they would not dare to make this positive statement Furthermore, government figures show that the five large packers mentioned in the report for only about one-1hrd of the meat business of the country They wish possible interest you in the details of their business. Of how, for instance they can sell dressed beef for less than the of the live animal ov ing 10 utilization ot byproducts, and of the wonderful story Of the methods of distribution throughout this broad land, well as in other countries. The five packers mentioned feel justified cooperating with each other to the of together presenting this public statement They have been able to do big job for your govern ment in it's time of need they have met the war de- mands promptly and completely and they willing to trust their to the farmndedness of the American people with the facts before them.
