House members here were inclined to
oppose the trade commissions proposal
declaring that the railroad administra-

the food administration should move to
reduce meat prices before anything else
is attempted.
THE best and quickest way to reach

on means of financing the livestock in

the packer plea that only > per cent

E. c. Lassater, member of the market
committee of the American National
Livestock Association. declared here to-
day that, granted the packers make only
per cent, their profit is made on
every turnover of capital which occurs
eleven times year and therefore makes

fact that during the four war years
the five big packers have made $140. 0.000.-

partment will show that meantime the
farmer is making no profit whatever in
cattle raising.

Security Owners to Wait

BALTIMORE, Dec. 12.-S. Davies Warfield, president of the National Association of Owners of Railroad Securities. when asked what was the position of the association, in regard to MT. McAdoo's suggestion that the return of the railroads be extended fer five years, said:
 This association does not propose to precipitate action. Every one real izes the importance of this subject and it is the purpose of the associa- tien prior to presenting any sugges- tiens it may formulate to congress, tC consult with committees, organiza- tions and others concerned, including shippers, that unity of thought can be secured if possible.
 We have faith in congress that il will see when the railroads are re- turned, within the time specified by the federal control act, it will be done under plans fair alike to the shippers the travelling public, labor and to the security owners. And we have equa faith in the railroad administration that they will give congress sufficient time for working them out"

KILTIES DRAW GRIN
 ACROSS THE RHINE

Continued from Page One) ment, the crowds came as near forget ting their hatred of the allies, as they had at any time in four years, for the highlanders made a great hit and drew smile to many hard faces.
 While feeling considerably grieved over being under British rule, Cologne is stin exhibiting keen interest in the proceedings of the troops of occupa- tion. Today being Sunday, thousands of the people, dressed in their holiday best, thronged the streets and wher- ever officers or soldiers appeared there one would see great crowds of civilians eager to get their first glimpse of the men in khaki.
 It was the same sort of curiosity which one might see in almost any large city. It drew the people about the enemy troops, and even though there might be bitterness in the Ger mans hearts, the uncomfortable in quisitiveness of the inhabitants won over all else. The crowds exhibited no hostility and in some cases were inclined to be friendly.
 Zig Bridge is Fortified
 Traffic of all sorts is passing over the bridges across the Rhine, especial ly on the big Hohenzollern bridge, which carried street car lines over the river, and has massive towers as sup erstructures at the ends. This bridge was found to have been elaborately prepared for defense. From the de- signs of the towers they appear to have been built with steel shutters, through which were loopholes. The western end of the bridge is a verit- able fortress, which is being occupied | by British soldiers, whose machine l guns dominate both the bridge and 1 the road to the cathedral. Almost under the muzZles of the rapid firers stand mammoth eques | trian statues of former Emperor Will | liam and Prince Bismarck, on either | side of the entrance. One could almost l imagine that the ex-emperor today looked particularly fierce, especially when the Scotch pipers went march ing by.
 It is an interesting coincidence that 1 the troops guarding the Hohenzollern | bridge, who were the first to cross the Rhine, also fired the first shot in the war for Great Britain and Belgium, and killed the first German accounted for by the British.
 Cologne presented a holiday air this afternoon, with the throngs in the streets crowding the passageways. The stores are offering a great assortment of goods and their brilliantly lighted windows might be those of any other big town.
 The British troops probably will move still farther eastward from Cologne on Tuesday.

clared, would have been fatal to the United Statoe if it had been fighting the war alone.
 Admiral badger said that type for type, American battleships compare favorably in power with those of any other nation, pointing out that six bat tleships soon to be laid down are de- signed for a displacement of 43,000 tons, of 23 knots speed, d main bat tery of F 16-inch guns, and are heavily armored. They will be the most pow erful vessels in the world, he said. The admiral stated that provisions for 10S destroyers is made in the 1920 three year program. There are now 342, either built or being built, he said, and in 1925 there will be, therefore, a total of 45O, compared with Englands s 516 at present.
 Planes Will Precede Ships
 ''The submarine program calls for 21 fleet submarines, 146-S type, 24 anti submarines, and 42 mine layers he said. There are now built, building or authorized total of 169 coast sub marines and F fleet submarines. The general board estimates that a total of 294 S-type boats are required, and recommends that 75 be authorized now. The British navy has built or is building 22S submarines. of which about 75 are of large or fleet type"
 Admiral Badger emphasized the need for additional mine sweepers and patrol vessels, and spoke of the de- velopment during the war of the air plane carrier. Fleet engagements will | be preceded in the future by opera | tions in the air, he stated, and the general board recommends that the fleet be provided with facilities to carry on such opera tions.
 Disposition of the ships surrendered by Germany rests with the peace con- l ference, Admiral Badger stated, in re- 1 sponse to questions at the close of the meeting, as to whether these vessels would be destroyed, returned or dis tributed among the allies.
 An account of the development and scope of activities of German subma- rlnes was given by Admiral Badger. Ten years ago the submarine was not larger than 150 tons, could cruise less than 300 miles, and was very vulner- able. Today they are thirty times larger and can make trips of 1000 miles and more. They have destroyed hundreds of vessels and have laid mines in sea lanes and harbors, mak- ing constant sweeping operations nec- essary. No one knows, the admiral said, how much further the develop ment will go.
