Mr.. Heney's Charges.

Mr.. Heney charged that the packers

the commission that he would show
later that a joint telegram recently

Detroit bankers protesting that the in
vestigation was disturbing economic
conditions had been inspired by the
packers.
Mr.. Heney's statement was made in
connection with the reading of further
confidential documents taken from the
files of the Chicago packers. which
showed that the packers planned an
elaborate campaign in 1916 to influence
House members against ordering an in
vestigation into the livestock and meat
packing industry, as was proposed in
the Borland resolution.

toward the Borland resolution also was
sounded out by the packers through

Scheme of Evasions.

The afternoon papers regard the
speech of Count Won Hertling as a
scheme of evasions and Inconsistencies.
They point out that Germany proposes
to have certain questions settled by a
general conference of powers where
she thinks she may gain the advantage
by that method, and insists on separate
negotiations for other questions. for
example. that the questions for the
evacuation of northern France shall be
arranged with France alone but the
evacuation of Belgium would be ar
ranged by general conference.

The Times thinks the speeches of
Chancellor Won Hertling and Count
czernin were arranged in collusion
and constitute combined diplomatic
offensive against the entente allies.
The attack obviously was intended
to shake the solidarity of our defense
at several points, says the Times.
but President Wilson manifestly was
the chief objective of the converging
forces. Neither speech discloses the
least readiness to make any conceS-
sions WHICH the allies declare to be
Indispensable
The Chronicle says that Chancellor
Won Hertling. while giving guarded
and practically valueless assent to
some of President Wilson's abstract
principles. refuses every one of the
concrete territorial demands. The
Chronicle finds it difficult to say how
much Count Czernin's phrases regard
ing President Wilson mean. for on con-
crete points he comedies nothing.
Concluding. the Chronicle says, 1T
looks as il nothing but Germanys de-
feat could change Germany's heart
The Daily Mail says:
If there are any shirkers or believers
In peace by negotiations still among US

clear that Germany is unrepentent, un-
beaten and swollen with victory for ag-
