SaS City Stock Yards.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 2S.-
When Fridays session of the Federal
trade commissions investigation of
the meat packing industry in the
southwest was concluded, Francis J.,
<Heney, special counsel for the COM
mission, said evidence had been pre-
scented to show:
That until few years ago, or until
Morris & Co., Chicago, obtained con-
troll Of the Kansas City Stockyards
company" the so-called "big fve'
packing companies had employed an
agent, known as train reporter
to obtain for them surreptitious1y lists
of stock sent from here to other mar
kets by dissatisfied shippers, the lists
not being accessible to commission
men or other packers.
Egg Market Controlled.
That the poultry and egg market in
a large section Of the middle west is
controlled by Armour 6 Co., Chicago,
through the Aaron Poultry and Egg
company, Kansas City, In which the
Armour company was declared to own
stock.
That Norris & Co., Chicago, control
the Kansas City Stockyards company,
although lists of stockholders show
them to own only tWenty-six shares
in the company.
The first witness, L. f. Cooper, tes-
titled that in 1909 he became what he
termed a train reporter and that his
duties were to make up lists Of re-
shipped stock from slips in the office
of the stockyards company. He said
he obtained them with the knowledge
of George Kline, in charge of the ship
ping room at night.
He declared he did not know who
actually employed him, but he under
stood he was working for the Armour,
Swift, Wilson. Morris and Sulzberger
packing companies. The checks were
signed by the secretary Of the Kansas
City Packers associa ton. Cooper said
and added that he did not know who
made up the association.

ANONYMITY FOR AIR
HEROES IS FAVORED
American Flyers Approve Policy of
COnccaling Identity From
Enemy.

IN ANa AMERICAN AVIATION
CENTER IN FRANCE, Jan. 80
American air pilots seem by n large
majority to favor anonymity among
aviators, regarding il just as sound
military policy as concealment of the
movements of troops. a discussion
has sprung up reflecting the annoy
ance felt by British pilots, not eXcept-
ing those advertised, because of the
publication of the names and exploits
of British airmen who are unusually
successful as enemy slayers.
The newspaper enterprise shown to
obtain permission for the publication
of all the facts, as we'll as the photo
graphs of such pilots, is very interest
ing, say the British, but it is unpleas-
ant for the pilots concerned, as well
as for others who may suffer in the
same way later. There is mixture
of feeling on the subject, which is
shared by American flyers.
Advertising May Prove Fatal.
In the first place, it is said that n
man who has brought down some
forty-odd Germans is far from being
pleased at seeing his picture in the
newspapers alongside those of star
performers in reviews. thus giving
him a popularity similar TO that which
a ring champion enjoys. For airmen
to be thus advertised is likely to lead
to their death. From the moment the
enemy knows the names and, better
still, the facts of the airmen most
dangerous to them, every effort will
be made to lay traps to catch the
"aces.''
Georges Guynemer escaped from
many such traps, at one time getting
away from dozen of the enemy's
crack flyers. Finally, however, he was
killed.
Another point has been mentioned
in the discussion, and that is the Ella
ton given the enemy by the publica-
ton of the news that a long advertis-
ed air star has been laid low. At the
same time the news of the death
produces a certain amount of depres-
sion among his own people. For
these reasons anonymity will prob
ably prevail in the American air SER
vice.
PerShing InSpectS Flyer Base.
After inspecting the base of a new
line of communications, including the
aviation headquarters here. Gen. Per-
shing departed this morning. Upon
his arrival yesterday afternoon he was
met at the railway station by French
guard of honor and the fanfare from
the band was the first intimation to
the citizens that something unusual
was happening. After that the news
spread over the city and crowds lined
the streets during the afternoon hop
ing to catch a glimpse of the Ameri-
can general, as it was his first visit
here.

FAINT HEARTS OR LOYAL ?

TN view of the nagging
policy adopted by Roose-
welt towards the admins
tration's war waging work it is
cheerful to recall the words of
Elihu Root expressed in a
speech to the Republican Club
of New York on April 9, 1917.
Mr.. Root saaid:
Tor four years to come the demo-
c,rats will be in control in Washing
ton. and. as we love our country we
must give TO that yarty our whole
hearted. earnest. sincere support. just
as il every man there was republic

prove not only our love for our coun-
try but that the republican party loves
tits country more than place and
power.

coalition ourselves with every demo-
craL ia the country. The coalition of

Tlc toeIloId up the hands of the gov
cInment OF Tie United States. no mat
ter from which party il comes.
There will be criticism and fault
findings and discomfort. but that has
been an incident to all our wars. 1t
is an incident to our free-and- easy
democracy. 1t will come again inc
Vitably. Do not let us join the band
of faint-hearts when the time of cri-
ticism comes. or withhold our sup
port. When the inevitable shOrtcom-
ines of democracy must come, then is
the time for stout hearts to stand by
their country and say that no matter
what mistakes are made we will stand
by our government and our country.
We will not permit the chorus of
discomfort and criticism TO obscure
tIlc real instincts of patriotism. We
will stand by the government now
and all shout hosannas. We will
stand by the President as we stood by
Lincoln when the faint-hcarted were
crying that the war was failure.
Those words express the
thought of the average repub-
lican. Roosevelt typifies the
element of republicanism that
wants to make political capital
by fair means or foul. They

WHERE SOUND LEADER
SHIP is NECESSARY

IA EAVY financial duties
D have been asked of this
city and county since the
war started. They will be
asked in the future. In fact
the time for raising the next
liberty loan is almost at hand.
With so much money already
given and heavy payments re-
quired under the income tax
and excess profits law some
are wondering how we will
meet our quota on the next
loan.
Prices are good, business is
good and it is going to continue
good, so there is no reason for
pessimism. But it is time for
people to think seriously and
follow capable leadership. The
bankers are the best guides on
financial subjects. They are
obliged to keep their institu-
tions strong so as to handle the
legitimate needs of business
and industry between now and
next crop moving time. They
desire and should maintain a
big margin of safety because
no one knows what is coming.
The bankers should be con-
suited more freely. No big
money raising moves should
be undertaken without their
approval. The subscription
business should be scrutiniZed
closely. 1t is a long pull we
face, not a squirt.
