The German Emperor and tho Cen

party show determination to take
IL strong line in support Of the war
as the only means of obtaining a

Each delegate as he arrived at the
convention was handed circular en-.

to Russia in the name of British labor
a few days ago This message is the
Keynote Of the whole present policy Of
the Labor party. Its war aims show
no very great divergence from the
statements by President Wilson,
Premier Lloyd George and other Allied
statesmen.
The pacinst minority will make
strenuous efforts to win over the con.
ference during the discussion Of eleven
resolutions dealing with the question
of peace, but there is no reason to
believe that the conference will go any

Unqualified Food Supply

ITO THE west of the Mississippi there would be
i glut of meat; to the east there would be
famine!
The hundreds of little plants which would spring up
would prove inadequate. They would necessarily
have to charge more for meats, for the economic
handling of beef is essentially by-product busi-
ness requiring huge plants and heavy investment.
Nor without cars specially built for refrigeration and
owned by themselves so there could be car-short
age could they possibly keep up even, continuous
flow of goods to the ends of the country.
And even did they ship they would have no local
refrigeration stations no selling-force continually

Undoubtedly in time, all this would be Strengthened
out. But remember, it has taken nearly half CEN
tury to perfect the present system. And no matter
what the first start might be, the final result would

Holding Down Living Costs

TT is only through tremendous organization,

time pass the finished products on to consumers at
minimum labor-chsrge.
With this in mind it logically follows that you are
directly holding down your living costs when you
buy Armour meats and food products.

U. S. SEIzES 63 SHIPS
Atlantic and Gulf Systems Unified
Under Government Control.
Vessels, Wharves, Piers and Other Fa-
ciIltles Placed Under Authority
of Director MoAdoo.

Washington.- Atlantic and
gulf steamship lines have been UNIFIED
under control Of the railroad adminis-
tration.
President Wilson by proclamation
Communicated the Clyde, Mallory,
Merchants and Miners and Southern
steamship lines and assigned them to
the supervision Of Director General
McAdoo, who already has control or
the railway owned lines, the Ocean,
Old Dominion, Southern Pacific, Ealti-
more Steam Packet and Chesapeake
Steamship Companies.
This action adds 63 coastwisc vcs-
sells, averaging $500 tons each, to tho
4S other coastwise ships already under
government management, making to-
tai of Ill vessels, aggrcgating nearly
100000 tons. These will be assigned
TO carving coal and other materials
between Hampton Roads and Ne"
England, cotton from the south to New
England and other traffic which Will
result In relieving rail transportation.
Under private management, 1t Is
said, many of the ships taken over
under the proclamation have been rum
ming on infiexible schedules ana
routes, often carrying light cargoes at
least one way and have not lent them
selves entirely to the exigencies OF
railway and port congestion.
One of the first steps Of the govern
ment will be to place a greater num-
her of the vessels in the coal carrying
trade between Hampton Roads and
New England to provide for a reserve
of fuel for next winter.
The new duties intrusted to the ral!-
road administration may be met with
reorganization of the marine transpor-
totion division. One branch may be
given charge Of ocean shipping ana an
other of lakes traffic and inland wa
terways, the greater use Of which Is
MANNED by the railroad adminlstra'
tion as soon as a survey now being
made is completed.
The President specified that the CON-
panies are to be compensated at u
"iust and reasonable" rate to bs
agreed upon between them and Direc-
for General McAdoo. This probably
will be on fixed rental basis, such rs
the Shipping Board uses in compen-
sating owners Of Communicated ocean
going vessels.

PITH OF THE
w A r N E w S

Frank H. Simonds, in a review of the
war situation, says that the attack
around Armentieres is evidence of
the completeness of the German
check In the south and that Calais is
the next objective of the Germans.
The Germans began new attack on
the Messines-Wytschaete ridge over
the Belgian border, with violent
fighting all the way to Hollebeke
from the line of the Bethune-La
Bassee canal. The attacks on Mes
sines ridge and HolIebeke were re-
pulsed with great loss.
The British evacuated Armentieres,
and the Germans entered the town.
Germans in their attack on the British
and Portuguese positions between
La Bassee canal and Armentieres
say they took 5000 prisoners and 100
guns. They crossed the Lys between
Estaires and Armentieres, putting
the latter town In a dangerous
pocket.
General Maurice of the, British war of.
flee shows that the situation between
Bothune and Armentieres, on the
Belgian border, is serious, the Gel
Fan gains having created an awh
ward salient, but the recapture
Givenchy is important, as 1t Is !;

WAR BULLETINS

The line of the battle, which was
begun near st. Quentin on March Il,
now extends for $50 miles from the
French positions on the Ailette.
Swinging his heaviest legions and
mightiest guns far to the north of the
Picardy battlefield, Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg now is driving attack aft
er attack against the British lines be-
tween Arras and Ypres.
The drive south of Ypres has devel-
oped into a major operation, it would
appear, and the Germans, using their
massed attack system, are not count
ing the losses inflicted upon them in
their advance. So far they have gain
ed little Of great tactical value.
The new offensive is being carried
out with great desperation, with thou
sands of men, under cover Of unprece-
,lented bomhardments, endeavoring to
Dierce the bravely defended fronts
held by the British and Portuguese,
and now also at some unnamed point
hy Americans.
AS had been anticipated, the Ger
mans have switched the center OF
their main operations from the Amiens
sector and are now hammering the
British and Portuguese hard over a
front of about II miles, running from
Givenchy and La Basse to the vicinity
Of Armenteres.
There is still no indication Of the
near approach Of the expected big
l:attle on the italian front.
