TRIED To SELL
ROTTEN MEAT To
j. S. GOVERNMENT

l.
New York, June 19.-Men of the
American navy and the naval reserve
would have been served with great
quantities of decayed meat. but for the
vigilance of inspection officers who
rejected 1t as unfit for human con-
sumption according to evidence given
here today before the federal trade
commission. The testimony was
brought out during the inquiry which
the commission is conducting into
charges that Wilson & 60, packers
sold bad" hams to the government.
Naval officers also testified that the
packers had asked "exorbitant" prices
in bids to furnish hams to the navy,
with the result that communicating
order was issued at prices fixed by the
government
After Capt Charles williams, navy
nay director, had described his re-
fusal to accept 492,074 pounds of
hams. which he said was ''musty,
mouldy. marrow-sour or just plain
sour" Thomas e. Wilson, president
of the company, denied that his firm
had ever knowingly delivered tainted
meat to the army or navy
Agents Enter Denial.
The packers testimony was supple
mented by that of Walter j. Reese
and III. Hirschfelder. agents at Phila-
delphia and San Antonio. who denied
having attempted at any time to dis
pose of unsound meat to the govern
ment. Captain Williams, who is sta
toned in Brooklyn. where he directs
of food and clothing to the
entire enlisted personnel of the navy,
declared that violent protest had
been made by officers in charge Of the
Great Lakes training station near
Chicago, against further delivery of
Wilson hams. Other hams, shipped
to the battleship Missouri, he said
were rejected as "unsound and dam
gerous."
Some of the hams sent to, the
Great Lakes training station. the wit
ness testified, were mouldy products
which had been "seraped" by Wilson
& Co, after their original rejection,
and accepted by the navy department
over Captain Williams protest.
Medical officers at the station OBJ
jected so strenuously to the shipments.
he declared, that they were discon-
ued.

TeutonS Apparently Have Lost

Opening of a Gateway to Paris

tsr .oan,Ao JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,Rsi
The Teutonic allies apparently have
lost their spirit of do-ordie. Their at
tacks everywhere lately have lacked
the tenaciousness of days gone by.
Instead of ploughing through allied
lines with stubborn indifference to
casualties so long as an objective was
gained they now waver and then
halt in the face of the artillery and
rifle fire of the men barring their
way with the points they were trying
0 gain still far beyond their reach
Ambitious attempts by the troops
of the Central Powers in the past
few weeks have proven this. The
opening Of a gateway TO Paris through
the western front, running from Mont
didier to the Marne, failed complete
ly, tho offensive on the Italian battle
line launched by the Ausrrlans seem
ingty has failed miserably in the
mountain regions, and apparently has
almost been stopped along the Piave,
while stroke started by the Ger
Nuns against Rheims broke down in
its inception without the enemy TAX
ing a yard of territory.
Teutons Are Moved Down.
And in these various attempted en-
terprises the high commands of the
German and Austro- Hungarian arm
les have seen their men literally
mown down until battle fields have
been clogged with dead or wounded
as recompense 10 the allied troops for
the small WITS d. e sigaS teltiesi.
The Austrian offensive in the Ital-
ian theater is still in progress along !
the Paive river, but in the noun |
tain region after the sharp reaction
by the Italians British and French !
troops, who in counter attacks pushed |
back the invader from the points he !,
had reached in his initial rush, the !
enemy evidently is fearful of again |
trying out the mettle of the defend !
ers.
On the Piave numerous attempts
have been made by the Austrians to
gain further bridgeheads on the west
ern bank of the stream but the Ital-
ians everywhere are holding them
with their gunfire and also doing san
ginary execution within the ranks of
the enemy across the river with bombs
and machine gun fire
