relax his watch for q second. If he Is
questioned from the trench or asked
his orders, he replies without turning
around or taking his eyes from the ex-
panse of dirt in front of him. The re-
mainder of the occupants of his trav-
erse either sit on the fire step, with
bayOnetS fixed, ready for any emer-
gency, or if lucky, and q dugout hap
pens to be in the near vicinity of the
traverse, and if the night is quiet, they
are permitted to 90 to same and try
and snatch few winkS of sleep. Little
sleeping is done; generally the men sit
around, smoking fags and seeing who
can tell the biggest lie. Some of them,
perhaps with their feet in water, would
write home sympathiZing with the
governor because he was laid I'D
with cold, contracted by getting his
feet wet on his way to work in Wool

to dOze off, likely as not he would wake

Tommy occasionally takes a turn In
the trench for rest.
While in a front-line trench orders
forbid Tommy from removing his
boots, puttees clothing or equipment.
The "cooties" take advantage of this
order and mobilize their forces, and
Tommy swears vengeance on them and
mutters to himself, Just wait until /
hit rest billets and am able to get my
own back"
Just before daylight the men turn
TO- and tumble out of the dugOuts, man
the hre step until ii gets light, or the
welcome order stand down" is given.
Sometimes before "stand down" Is or
dered, the command "five rounds rap
Id" Is passed along the trench. This
means that each man must rest his
rifle on the top and fire as rapidly as
possible five shots aimed toward the
German trenches, and then duck with
the emphasis on the "duck"). There is
great rivalry between the opposing
forces to get their rapid fire all off
first, because the early bird In this in
stance, catches the worm-sort of gets
the jump on the other fellow, catching
him unawares.
We had sergeant in our battalion
named Warren. He was on duty with
his platoon In the fire trench one after
noon when orders came up from the
rear that he had been granted seven
days leave for Blighty, and would be
Irelieyed at FIVE o'clock to proceed to
Hngland.

MEAT PACKERS
Investigator Declares Such
Real Purpose Of Com
mission Probe.

Philadelphia,S>Jan. 6-Another pack
ing trust revelation was sprung to-
day by Francis J. Heney. investigator
for the Federal Trade Commission,
when his chief witness at the last
day OF the meat inquiry in this city
charged that the Federal Meat In
spection Service is manipulated" to
the profit of the big packers and the
disadvantage OF independent slaugh-
ter houses.
Apart from the revelations made
during the hearing was the announce
ment that the real purpose of the
meat probe - to prepare for complete
government control of the packing
industry for the duration of the war.
Recording to one Of the investlga-
tors for the commission the govern
ment is convinced that control OF the
packing industry is a vital to its war
aims as control of railroads and
anthracite.
Enormous Waste.
E ]. Maynes. an independent pack
er of this city. testified today at
great length about the enormous
waste of meat products under the
methods of conducting the industry.
He said that il the government will
prevent the slaughter of ewes and
lambs between November and May
of each year then the number of
sheep in the United States would
show an increase OF 25 per cent One
of the present reasons for meat short
age is the decline of sheep produc-
ton. which is also accompanied by
a shortage of wool and consequent
higher prices.
Maynes also charged that through
Illegal and unfair interpretations OF
the Federal meat laws which are
applied only to small packers thou
sands of tons of good beef and other
meat products are destroyed annu-
ally.
Unwilling Witness.
Heney today rounded up Israel ].
Levine, a bookkeeper formerly in
the employ of Brown and Company.
the local subsidiary of the American
Agricultural Chemical Company, the
rendering trust.
Levine dumllIeO ne Old not want
to testify. fearing for his future"
Under Heney's examination. how
ever. he admitted that E. ]. Murphy.
head of Brown & Co., who ran the
trust fight on NJ. L.. Shoemaker &
Co. Inc, the independent rendering
concern, made a profit of more than
SS5,OOO in selling out the Brown
concern to the trust.

The p. c. Thompson Company.
one time independent rendering
company, proved extremely, forget
full when examined. He repeatedly
testified he could not recall' incl
dents in the trust fight against in
dependents to which his attention
was called by Heney.
Following his testimony Heney
reiterated his previous statements
concerning attempts to reach" the
government witness. He said the
actions of several men called to
testify were suspicious and an in.
vestigation is being made to deter
mine whether any attemt was made
to bring influence to bear upon
them. If so there will be immediate
prosecutions.
