British Peers in Army

The Duke of Roxhurghe. the first
British nobleman of that name to be
wounded in battle during the present
war. is one of eight dukes who offered
their services to Great Britain soon
after hostilties began. At last re
ports there were almost 200 members
of the house of lords serving in the
British army. including besides the
eight dukes, 10 marauises, 61 earls, %
Viscounts and so or 90 barons. A
number of peers have been killed and
Il great many more wounded in battle,
while several other members of the
British aristocracy are prisoners in the
hands of the Germans.
The Duke of Roxburghe is the
eighth to hold the title, which was
created in 1907. His mother was a
daughter of the seventh Duke of MARI
borough, and he is thus descendant
or the victor of Blenheim and captain
general of England. The duke sue
ceeded to the title at the age of 16.
In 1903 he married May Goelet, daugh-
ter of Ogden Goelet of New York. The
RoNgurghe estates consist of $4,000
acres in Scotland.

THE GREATEST OF BATTLES.

The first stage Of the great
German offensive has been
passed with results that cannot
be determined with precision. A
considerable advance has been
made, many prisoners of the al
lies and many guns have been
taken. These figures corae from
German official communications
and must be accepted with re-
serve. The battle--the greatest
battle in the history of the world
continues and the final result
may not be known for days.
There will be attacks and counter
attacks, repulses, retreats and
advances on both sides and sum
mer may be at hand before the
campaign may be defined as q
success or failure, according to
the differing viewpoints Of the
combatants.
At this hour the allies are re-
ported to have re-established
lines from which they are max
ing most determined resistance
in an engagement that must have
cost the Germans the most ap-
palling losses in the history Of
human warfare.
We have no apprehension as
to the result. That the Germans
can overrun France, crush the
allied armies which outnumber
them in men and guns, capture
Paris and the channel ports and
threaten England, all these things
are, in our judgment, clearly be-
yOnd the range of possibility.
That great mass of troops, as
sembled at a given point broke
the line is easily understandable.
1t would be strange, indeed, if it
were otherwise. An advance
followed as a matter of course.
When this forward movement
spends itself, as it must, the Ger
mans will be found in their weak
est position since the Battle of
the Marine.
It is the final great gamble of
the Germans to win the war and
they will lose the throw.

WE DID OUR BEST.

The Muscular must not be I'M
derstood as throwing bouquets at
itself, when it refers to its special
war service to the community
yesterday. II wishes merely to
remind its readers that no cx-
pensc was spared to furnish all
the news obtainable OF the great
est battle Of all time.
During the day special tele-
graph line was kept open in The
Muscular office, flashing the
war bulletins of the Associated
Press from London, Paris, Berlin
and Washington. All day the
trunk line telephones were kept
busy answering inquiries. At G
O'Clock a special Sunday extra of
The Muscular was issued, com
plete with the latest news from
the battle front. 1t was grabbed
eagerly by great crowd
massed on the street and in au-
tomobiles in front Of The Nilsson
liam office and was circulated by
scores of newsboys throughout
the city.
Automobiles loaded with eX-
tras sped up the Bitter Root val
ley and the outgoing trains We're
supplied for the rcmotest points
of The Mlssoulian's baiIiwick.
This service was rendered at
heavy cost for which the COM
penSatlOn was the satisfaction of
giving our clientele the best and
all that could be had.

Iby increased taxation. The post
;office department, as conducted
by the government has produced
| a deficit for untold years, and
while it is large business, it is
run by very simple methods and
with comparatively few difficult
tiles.
Our criticism of the packers as
a small body Of money glnttons
stands. The record of the cnor-
nous fortunes piled mp by these
individuals in the last twenty
years, is sufficient proof Of their
greed. no matter how narrow the
margin of profit may be on the
gross capital or the business.
The more important criticism,
however, relates to the methods
|ot these men outside Of their
business. Why should they give
heavy contributions for political
campaigns, if they do not expect
vast returns? Why should they
seek to control the financial in
tercsts of L& Sale street in Chi
cago, to monopolizc car lines, to
plant their tools in the depart
mcnts at Washington and get adj
vance information Of policies of
the government before they are
announced to the public? Why
should Armour manipulate, at
times, the Chicago grain market?
Finally, why should they show
such determined resistance, even
seeking the aid Of the courts,
when the Federal Trade Commits
sion, a branch Of the United
States government, seeks to in
vcstigatc their methods of con-
Quoting business, in order that
the public may be protected
against cxtortion at the hands Of
four houses that control the meat
industry Of the United States?
What is there in their records
and correspondence that may not
see the light Of day, if all is
right? We do not think that Mr..
Hcney can be regarded as an Of
flee seeking dcmagoguc when he
appears with the authority Of the
United States government to in
vestigate the packers for the sole
purpose of finding out whether
they arc conducting their bust
ness within the law.
There are many things to be
considered outside Of Mr.. Ar
mour's argument with regard to
conditions that have caused Ger
tain high prices of meat, an ar
gument that we are glad to print
as a matter of fair play.

In Defense
J. Ogden Armour Deplores
Attacks on Packers.
Editor Muscular.

Editor MisSoulian:
regret, exceedingly, that office
seeking demagogues have been able to
STR up bitterness toward men and an
industry which is doing its full share
in prosecuting the war. / realize full
well that ii is lack of information as
to the truth of the matter, which
causes the public to tolerate such per-
secntion as has been INDUCED in dur
ing the past several months and I
welcome the opportunity to lay the
matter before the public--or at least
those phases of it which are being
most widely discussed in editorial
columns.
wartime prices on food stuffs are
sufficiently burdensome to enable agi-
tators to arouse the public with their
charges of graft and profiteering
Meat packers are the especial targets
OF these defamers.
1t Is not true that there is an undue
margin between the price of meat on
the hoof and meat on the hook. 1t is
not true that enormous profits are the
cause of high prices. 1t is a falsehood
to charge that meat is being boarded
to keep the price up.
The malicious or ill-informed per-
son notes that live hogs sell for II
cents pound and that bacon sells as
high as so cents a pound and cries out

are belhS ROBBED. FROM live hog at IT
