An Army Plan for
Using Their Energies

ITO get any real promise of adecuat.
results in the tremendous operation,
that are possible on the Eastern front
there must be complete organizatio,
under competent military officer. h.
should be placed in complete contrul
and held responsible for organizing and
directing the efforts of all the Slay
peoples in the United States. Thes.
are divided into two classes:
"One-Those who are conscripted IN.
to the United States Army for opera.
tions overseas from these Slavic races.
and he should be authorized to have
his agents in every camp where these
are sent after being conscripted
Two-He should also have charge of
the organization, coordination and d.
rection of the efforts of the various
Slavic Councils in the United States.
This latter includes the organization
and direction of all propaganda that
may be sent out.
'The high grade mentioned should
be accorded because of the beneficial
effect this grade will have upon all
Slavic peoples in this country as we'll
as abroad; and as second reason be-
cause, should he go abroad to assume
command of any allied expeditions
(Which, Of course, must be contem-
plated), there would be no question
about his being senior in grade to all
commanders of these allied forces CON-
| ing under his command. He must be
senior to all such officers, because this
work must be taken over-if we are to
secure success-by the American gov
ernment, and the sooner this fact Is
recognized the better for all concerned
"The sooner this officer is selected
! and authorized to commence his organ
ization the more promptly he will Sc
cure results.
at goes without saying that this en-
tire proposition must be taken up with
| the governments of Great Britain.
France and Italy and he should be
| given proper recognition before these
governments on all proper occasions.
"The first thing to be done, of course,
is to complete our organization at
home and to advise these councils Of
the various Slavic races here exactly
what the United States government is
prepared to do, both as to the handling
of the enemy alien situation and the
recognition that will be accorded to
them now and at the final peace con-
! ference.
"The qualifications of the military
man who should be placed in charge Of
this have previously been given and it
should be emphasized that this job is
an entirely different one from that OF
the man in command on the Western
front. The knowledge in Washington
Of the capabilities of the army men OF
experience should enable them to de-
eide upon the proper person.

LONDON. Aug 6.-Man always did

The clumsiness of the mems standa I'd

MEAT RECORDS
ARE SUPPRESSED

CHICAGO Aug The meat records
of all countries and all ages have nov
been surpassed by amazing production
ln America, according 70 an authorita-
tive statement issued heretoday by
Armour K 60.
one packer alone has slaughtered
about 100000 cattle in the thirtv-four
weeks Of his fiscal year 1918 The to-
tai number OF animals killed b. the
leading packings during the three rs
cal years falling within the vtorld-war
period and ending in the fall of 1917 is
given as 1o50o000o classified as fol
lows: Cattle 1900 600. sheep. 24 COO
600: hogs, 6l.600. 600
1t is believed that the aggregate gross
sales Of the FIVE larger packers viii ap-
rroach s3,000.000000 for the year 1915
on this whole amount the average net
proft now will be between two and three
cents per dollar Of sales But on meat
the average PROFIT is running less than
the two cents per dollar OF sales which
Is less than the limit allowed BY the
federal regulation restricting profits on
meat 70 nine per cent on the capital IN
vested.
These sales figures represent an in
tons Of these concerns last year and
also show that their financial turnover
IS more than twice what ii was in their
largest year before the world war and
has trebled itself in hve years These
large totals are Of course due primar-
lily 10 increased prices, rather than to
increased tonnage.
The meat business is now believed to
he ia In u
the operations or these concerns alone
probably constitute one-tw entieth Of the
country's manufactured output
The FIVE leading packers made gross
sales asgregating $4,000. 100000 for The
three-year period I9l5-19f6-l3I7 Their
average earnings in the same period
we're about three cents per dollar Of
sales. including even the most profit
able non-edible by-product lines With
the rest
It is calculated that the average re-
ceipts last year per head OF cattle
both from beef and -rroducts-ex-
oeeded the cost Of the cattle on the hoof
by about $3.50 and that Of this $3.50.
the cost Of dressing selling and freight
used UP about $740 leaving net proAt
Of s1l0 or small fraction OF a cent
a pound for dressed beef
Records kept al the stockyards show
also that in the six months ending April
80 last (the six months after the nine
per cent law on meaD. one packer paid
S323oo0.000 for live stock which Weld
ed. 1.55s.600.0oO pounds dressed weight.
and that the same packer paid S2I0-
100000 in the same period of 1917 for
live stock which yielded 1.33ss3o0 600.
the weight thus Increasing 1914 per cent
while the cost OF 1.-Two stock to the
packer was increasing 81 per cent

ployed by the five packers in their bust

In short he was an opportunist, as void of conviction and as indifferent to consistency as Theodore Roosevelt"
 This is to assume that in the bloody drama before us his luck abides and all goes well with him. Per contra, there will be the account of failure to meet and just objurgation to answer. Setting aside such considerations of good and i'll for tune, patriotism could wish that he were more human and less masterful.

Jefferson and Jackson and Tilden. The principles of government which they enunciated and advocated have been ob- liberated What slavery and secession and silver were unable to accomplish has been brought about by prohibition and woman suffrage.
 The death blow to Jeffersonian democ- racy was delivered by the democratic senators and representatives from the south and west under the leadership of William J. Bryan, who carried through the prohibition amendment The coup de grace was administered by Woodrow Will son, President of the United States, in indorsing the federal suffrage amend ment to the constitution.
 The kind of government for which the Jeffersonian democracy successfully battled for more than century has been repudiated. CentraliYation is now in- vited not repelled State rights have been assassinated in the ancient citadel of state rights. The charter of local self government has become scrap of paper The way is now open for the obiitera- ton of the states in all their essential functions and the erection of a central government more powerful than anything or which Alexander Hamilton dared to dream.''

FRIEND SET HIM ON RIGHT ROAD, HE SAYS
Spent Hundreds of Dollars Uselessly in Four Years
 He Suffered

After I had spent hundreds of dol lars trying medicines and treatments without finding anything that would relieve my trouble, I started taking Tanlac and I have gained 26 pounds and am now in splendid shape
 For four long years I actually didn't see well day. I was nearly always in misery from pains in my stomach and sometimes 1t seemed like Il had hard blow in that region. The Wood I ate soured and formed gas that would swell me up until I would nearly smother. I couldn't sleep at night and was just simply in torture aii the time.
 "A friend of mine set me on the right road when he recommended Tan lac to me. It was only few days after I began taking it until I could eat anything I wanted without. any trouble, and started picking up. My pains are absolutely gone. I never have smothering spell and besides gaining 26 pounds I am in better shape than I have been for years''
 The above statement was made sometime ago by J. T. Low, 1904 Ocee street, Chattanooga, Tenn, and is signed and witnessed.
 Tanlac Is sold in Birmingham ex- clusively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.-Adv.
