PROFITEERS FAT IN THE FIRE

LNX-GONERNOR j. FRANKLIN FORT,
I'of New Jersey, and Francis j. Heney,
municipal graft fighter conducting the Fed
eral meat probe in this city, appear to have
uncovered evidence showing most reprehens.
ible profteerng in pork and other sources
of derivation of the fats vital to the health
of Americans, particularly in winter.
Prices have curved upward out of all rela.
ton to the graphs illustrating other iises
in living costs. This profteerinG repre-
sents a most desplcable, because so subtle,
form of taking vast gains from the nations
necessity. 1t was high time for attention
to be directed to the practice. Packers
and renderers who have been quietly taking
advantage of the war crisis will have only
themselves to blame If seizure of their
plants IL decided on as the only corrective
of their greed. Consumers are conserving
fats because the food administration has
told them fats will be a powerful weapon
toward victory. They should not be made
to bear all the sacrifice while proflteers wax
wealthy on ill.gotten gains.
Apparently nothing short of coniscation
will md some forms of profiteering

ACCIDENTS OR GERMANS?

A GERMAN army is encamped in the
"A heart of this country. 1t matters not
whether It is numbered In the thousands
or the hundreds 1t takes only one man to
wreck munitions shop, and IL one man is
shrewd and determined enough he can
make one long tour of the country leaving
destruction in his trail. The hue and cry
must be raised against these enemies who
after three years and half have not been
stamped out Every citizen is an. American
soldier in this service. Every citizen must
be on guard and watch for his chance to
put heel on the neck OF these vipers.
Because there has been lull after each
outbreak of Prussian terrorism the people
have allowed themselves to slip into the
easy belief that munitions explosions are
accidental. Some OF them have been. But
1t Is matter Of official record that many
have been planned and effected by the
Kaiser's advance guard. Bridges are not
bombed In time of peace, stores Of grain
are not burned In time of peace. There
have been attacks not only upon muni.
tions plants, but upon every sort Of factory
and warehouse where goods used for war
purposes have been made or stored. The
Harrisburg plant which has Just been
ruined by fire w2s engaged in the manufac.
ture Of shells for the United States Gov.
eminent. This particular disaster may
have been an accident but dozens of others
have not been, and the circumstances are
suspicious. This reverse is more disastrous
than II a vast store of shells had been de.
stroyed by air bomb within our lines in
France, for the greatest loss is in the ma.
chinery. Shells can he quickly replaced,
but not the machinery. The Germans
strike at the sources of our supplies here
in America. The Zeppelin bombs that fall
on England do not hit the munitions fac.
tory; but the spy never misses his mark
when he gets his chance here
There should not he another day lost in
triflng with this menace.
