Freight Routing System
COMPLETED Late Report

1t is announced in railroad circles
that the railroad war board has about
completed plans for routing all freight
ever the short line between points of
origin and destination. This plan of
routing is to be adopted, regardless of
the wishes, or desires of consignors
or consignees. 1t is believed that it
will save much time in the movement
Of freight.
Besides working out the short line
system for freight handling, the board
IS perfecting plan for sailing" dates
for freight shipments between points
of origin and destinations. This plan,
il is believed will greatly increase ef-
fciency and at the same time will con-
serve equipment, man and motive
power. The plan is along this line:
If there are several shipments of
merchandise going to Sioux City, in
stead of few packages going today
and few more tomorrow, they will
be held until there is sufficient
quantity of freight on hand to fill
car and then the car will 60 out over
the short line. If the car is filled with
way freight, it will be sent out over
the line serving the stations enroute
and dropped off as they are reached.

Brand New Plan for Obtaining
Money Without Right
Being Put Over in
, This city.

Early Thursday morning, five men
who looked as though they were sea-
farers, dressed in semi-naval uniform
of navy blue, with REFER cut coats,
and naval caps, and carrying genuine
sailors "slop bags" visited tenants in
the First National Bank building.
They represented themselves as
members of the crew of an English
vessel and said they had been dis
chargd from their ship at San Fran
cisco and were on their way to Hall
fax, N. S.
Listen to Stories.
While in the British merchant ma
rine in northern Pacific waters they
claimed they had an opportunity to
acquire large consignment of genu-
inc black sable furs, of Russian origin,
and which they had smuggled into
this country and were able to sell at
a bargain. They would not ordinari-
ly be willing to part with them, they
said, but, with sailor prodigality, they
had spent their allowance money and
were now broke.
A number Of the tenants listened
synlpathetically to the stories, which
were told in "cockney" dialect, de-
spite the fact that the men claimed
Glasgow, Scotland, as their home
port. Several of the tenants invested
in the furs, paying good round price
for them, partly from sympathy and
a desire to help men of an allied ma
tion, and partly from thrifty desire
10 make good bargain.
Later some of the more suspicious
of them thought the matter over and
to dispel doubts submitted the furs to
Aiabaugh, the furrier, who pronounc-
ed them cheap limitations of sable,
, made of rabbit and other cheap skins,
and of little value.
Make Goodly Sum.
1t is known the men realized
large sum from their mornings sales.
To those who enquired, they stated
they were stopping at the Phoenix"
hotel, which is not listed in the tele-
phone or city directory of Omaha.
1t is known, however, that they reg
istered at local hotel Wednesday
night as George Williamson, William
Stewart, Robert Holiday, John John
ston and Henry Johnston. They gave
"city" as their address.
That the men were more sophisti-
Gated than the ordinary Jack Tar" is
evidenced by the fact that they went
to the city license inspector early in
the morning and procured a license
permitting them to peddle their wares.

YOUR SHOE AND MEAT BILLS.

The report of the federal trade cimmission to
the U. S. senate on profteering was unanimous.
No member found reason for minority report.
Concerning the meat packers that unanimous
report says: ~ E2 =
Five meat packers, Armour, Swift, Morris,
Wilson and Cudahy and their subsidiary and af-
faiated companies, have monopolistic control of
the meat industry and are reaching for like DOM
ination in other products. Their manpulations
Of the market embrace every device that is useful
to, them without regard to law = w. y, =
However delicate definition is framed for profit
eering these packers have preyed upon the peo-
pie unconscionably."
The report shows that the aggregate average
pre-war profit Q9l2, 1913 and 1919 of Armour,
Swift Morris and Cudahy was $19,O0O,0OO. The
war started in August, 1914 In 1915 these four
earned $l7,0O0,000 excess profits over the pre-
war period; in 1916, $36,0O0,0OO excess and in
1917, o0o,0 900 excess over the pre-war period.
J. That is, they earned $1400O000O profit in three
war years from 1915 to 1917 and of this $l2l,-
100000 represents excess war profits.
The commission says much Of this excess profit
is due to higher prices rather than to increased
volume Of business by weight.
IN other words they took advantage of the war
to- soak the people who eat their products. =
Some folks may have wondered why they have
had to pay such outrageous prices for shoes, when
there has been more leather than ever before.
! Well, the meat packers are the biggest factor
in control of the leather market And the federal
trade commission reports to the United States
senate that net profits in 1915 were much higher
than in 1914, and that in 1916 net profits "were
in several instances two, three, four or even five
times as large as in 1915" XXI 4

BASTILLE DAY

The people of France with deep feeling observed
Americas natal day, and on the Fourth of July
came nearer to the hearts of Americans here and
American soldiers "over there" than ever before.
The Stars and Stripes waved over French homes
that day and heartfelt French cheers resounded
throughout all France.
On the fourteenth Of July France celebrates her
independence day. There they call it Bastille day,
the anniversary of the birth of liberty and human
freedom in France, when the Bastille fell and the
people reached out for the reins Of government
No finer tribute to France could be paid, no
other honor we can bestow upon French people
will be half as well appreciated as our uniting with
them in cheering the memory of those liberty
loving men and women of Paris who on July Ia,
1889, stormed the Bastille and swept that loath-
some prison of oppression and handiwork of cruel
despots from off the face of the earth.
Americans in France, and that includes the
million of our fighting men, will help France cele
brate her sacred day of libery. But that isn't
enough. Even as France observed our Independ-
ence day so we in the United States should OBJ
serve her Bastille day. r. 1. f%5sf
Former President Taft is at the head Of the
movement here, and many other Americans are
just as interested in spreading the Bastille day
celebration movement all over the United States.
Will YOU help? Will YOU display French flag
at your home and place of business on the Four
tenth? Will YOU do your bit toward making
France feel that America loves her and her citi-
zens who are fighting with US against the treach
cry and brutality of the Huns? F 4S1

THE EFFECT

! The German war party spent millions of dol.
lars trying to keep the United States out of the
war until the Huns had defeated France, Russia
and Great Britain. German spies and plotters
without number were scattered all over this coun-
try to make Americas war effort less effective
lover there" and many Of them still are laboring
along that line. .ss .ss / .:$::s4.
The same sort of plotting has been going on
in France and Great Britain.
But the mad war party in one moment destroys
all the work of its plotters and propagandists.
BY sinking hospital ship it. offsets the work Of
a thousand plotters. Bombing hospitals strength
ems the arm and the determination Of our fight
ing men in the trenches and quickens other mil
lions into greater effort in American shipyard,
field, factory and home. Staying wounded men
and numbering non-combatants nulliies the pac-
fist preachings Of pro-Germans, plotters and So
cialists. The effect of Hunnsh terrorism is not
what the kaiser hopes for. It makes US want to
fight all the more.
Had it any other effect upon us we would not
deserve to be a free people. If it frightened us
into less war effort we would deserve "made in
Germany" laws: customs and language and a
Potsdam ruler. .@.$ @sss s.s
