The German military strategists

modern conditions of warfare. not be

now the chief secrets to be kept

Hindenburg and Lndendorff make it
appear as if they were taking the
whole world in general and their foes
in particular into their confidence
Under cover of this publicity they can
the better and more readily keep dark
their really vital secrets-the decision,
the point of attack and the time.
If the foe wearies from the nerve
racking strain of the long keyed-up
alertness and expectation and finally
relaxes with "it's all bluff" it serves
the purpose admirably.

There is no foundation for the alleged
violations of law attributed to our Com
pany by agents of the Federal Trade
Commission and l want to say emphatic
ally that Swift & Company is not party to
any conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment Nor has Swift & Company been
guilty of improperly storing foods or of
making false entries or reports.
Conferences of packers, where prices
have been discussed, have been held at
the urgent request and in the presence
of representatives of either the Food
Administration or the Council of National
Defense. And yet the packers have been
accused of committing felony by acting
1T collision on Government bids
We have done our best, with other
packers large and small, to comply with
the directions of the United States Food
Administration in all particulars, including
the furnishing offood supplies for the u. S.

ing handled through the Food Admins

We will continue to do our utmost,un-

to cooperate whole-heartedly and to our
fullest powers with this branch of the

The Trade Commission Attorney has,
by false inference and misplaced empha-

correspondence taken from our private

sinister meaning with the plain purpose
of creating antagonistic public opinion.
The services of the packers of the

better now by reverting to our former
policy Of shipping exclusively through

no more drop shipments will be made.
While we have Put on q night shift

will be able to furnish each jobber
at least twice the quantity OF Vapo-

Drunk Tears Murray's Pants

Patrolman John Murray, who does
traffic duty at the fou n was
a busy man yesterday afternoon when
he was called to the Graham Bakery
In State street twice within an hour
to arrest two drunks who were caus-
ing trouble.
The first call was at 4 o'clock n
when Murray got to the place he
found Peter Tango of New Brunswick
avenue. very much under the wealth
err, in Graham's automobile trying to
start the machine. Tango was tzkan
in tow and brought to police head
quarters.
He was very quiet and orderly until
he was being put in n cell when he
started in to battle and in the scuffle
that ensued Murray had his trousers
badly torn. When Tango was ar
raigned before Recorder Pickersgill
this morning he was ordered to buy
Murray q new pair OF trousers. the
cost of which will be $11, and he was
also fined S25 on a d~isorderly conduct
charge.
At 4:30 o'clock Murray again re-
ceived a call to go to the Graham
