Dr. Won KuehImann Talks of
Belgian and German Colonies
trrom lhe New York sun.

In his statement In the Reichstag
Of the war aims Of Germany. the For
elgn Secretary, DR., Richard Won kuhl-
mann, laid especial stress upon the
German attitude regarding Belgium
and tho recovery Of her lost colonies
and world trade. Il IL not unnatural
that these subjects OF controversy
should bo thus associated. Antwerp
and the Sohedt as German outlet to
the oceans and her oversee possessions
were among the lures that determined
Germany upon her venture OF conquest
The Foreign Secretary declares that
Germany can give no pledges regard
Ing Belgium. In this the real German
attitude toward Belgium Is disclosed
The Allied nations have so considered
Germany's position, although the Ger
man Government has never actually
made an unequiyooal statement re-
gardlng &C.
The present military occupation has
aimed at a division OF the nation into
It's two racial units and the absorption
through process OF self determination
Of the northern and more coveted sec
tlon. Semi-oflcially TO the world were
given two reasons or motives for the
forcible occupation OF Belgium. The
first was the necessity OF the Belgian
coast, particularly It's northern portion,
10 the completion OF the Germanlc
scheme Of oversee trade The second
was the urgency OF a Germanlc control
Of the Belgian frontier for the protec-
tion Of the neighboring rich industrial
regions OF the Rhine valley. Either OF
these reasons would be sufficient JUS
tincatlon to the German mllitaristic
party for the devastation Of the coun-
try or for IT'S dnal incorporation within
the boundaries OF the German Empire.
DR.. Kuhlmann, in further defining the
German war aims says:
I'VE wish for the German people and
our allies a free. strong, Independent
existence within the boundaries drawn
for us by history. We desire overseas
possessions corresponding 10 our great
ness and wealth; the freedom OF the
sea, carrying our trade to all parts OF
the world"
This is practically a reiteration Of
the doctrine held by Won Bethmann-
IIollweg and his successors in the Ger

WHAT'S WRONG wrH SPECIAL DELrrRYg

II Ew, If any. win there be, who VIII defend ex-
n cause a telegraph company which transmits by mail
messages which supposed to go by telegraph and
were paid for on that understanding u Is undoubtedly
true as conended by the telegraph company that the
messages carried from New York to Washington for
instance were delivered soon after having been car
ried on mail trains as they would have been II sent by
wire That however does not overcome the fact that
the customer was paying for wire service.
But along with condemnation of the telegraph COM
pany LET s consider the position in which the Posofce
Department is placed by the disclosures, The telegraph
company had carrying messages in this man
ner for several years. and immense numbers Of them
for several months The rate night letter between
New York and Washington is thirty-fye cents Those
night letters were taken midnight train and delivered
the next morning During all this time the postal service
was undertaking conduct special delivery service for
thirteenth cents 1t would seem that with assured
efficiency and difference OF $50 per cent in its favor in
the matter Of rates. the government should have been
able TO take the business even without any wire service
Was there lack OF prompt delivery Of special delivery
letters or lack of general knowledge as to the service
the government ready to perform how shall we
explain the fact that the telegraph company could keep
night letter business that cost thrty-ve cents in
petition with the government rate Of thirteen cents.

CONCERNING HELL AND PARSONS.

From the Topeka Capital
Germans? ] say TO hell with the
Germans" says the Rev. DR.. Charles A.
Eaton. IF you ever come across a
man with a bomb don't say to him,
Come outside. brother and let MS
pray Don't slap him on the wrist.
Truss him up. take him out TO the
meadows, place his damned bomb on
his chest and then stand Off a few feet
and watch him get blown to hell" We
have heard a number OF discussions OF
the situation. lt seems TO us the Rev.
Dr.. Eaton covers it as well as anybody.
Our respect for the clergy continually
increases. We look forward TO the
time when the clergy will come to
know and place a proper valuation on
the two indispensable words in The
English language.

And Germany laughed at French pleas TO exchange

the United Kingdom has awakened to the necessity Of

Deal Between Packers and

sidered, Heney States.
Retail Meat Dealers Say
Unable to Make Legiti- :.
mate Profit.

Chicago, March !. Government
contracts for millions of pounds of
meats, labor troubles and employers
methods to oppose them, the difficult
ties Of retail meat dealers in Chicago,
and obstacles placed in the way of
buttermakers in rural Indiana were
day in the federal trade commission
into the packing house industry.
Under the questioning of Francis j.
Heney, counsel for the commission.
witnesses told of the difficulty in
making a reasonable profit in the re-
tail meat business in Chicago, in di-
rect conflict with statements that re-
tail butchers were responsible in some
degree for high meat prices.
Through letters read before B. M.
Manley, federal trade commission ex-
aminer, Mr.. Heney brought out that
the question of changing government
specifications SO as to permit cheaper
meats being included in army con-
tracts had been considered by the five
big packing houses and the quarter
masters department.
At one poipt today, the hearing re-
verted to congressional action in 1916,
on proposed federal investigation OF
the packing house industry. In one

Thomas Creigh replied to the Clafir
letter. Included in it under date Of
August q ;1s16 was the following:

4 instill into the congressman's mint
the notion that he did the right thin,
4 in leaving US out. In some hearing
before the sub-judiciary committee o
the house I certainly tried to maxi
our independence very plain; the poin
being that we never had any interes
in the National Packing Company ant
were not parties defendant in the las

! Mr.. Heney explained that MI
Creigh is general counsel for Cudah
and Company. n
The letter closed with the para
graph: "On the other hand with tn
