WHEN DETHRONED
CZAR WAS ABOARD
HIS EXILE TRAIN

London, Aug. l4.-(By The AS
sociated Press Correspondent re-
Gently in Rumania. )-The Ameri-
can Red Cross Mission to Rumania
travelled across Siberia in the train
which carried the former Emperor
Nicholas and his family into exile at
Tobolsk. The engineer, conductor
and trainment were the same, and
they told the Americans many in
teresting details of their journey
with the royal family.
The conductor was an energetic
little man who spoke French very
we'll and had been employed on the
Trans-Siberian expresses for several
years. He was a thorough convert
to the Bolsheviki doctrine and
showed no sympathy with the late
emperor.
Both Nicholas and his wife were
disconsolate and dispirited during
their trip with me- he SAID. They
seemed to think that there was lit
tie left to live for, now that their
crowns had been taken away from
them. Neither the guards nor the
railway employees designed to give
them any salute or open mark OF
recognition, and in the little village
stations where We stopped now and
then the soldiers merely stared at
the members OF the royal party.
This lack of Difference seemed to
hurt the former emperor'S feeling.
At one station. where he was per
mitted to walk up and down the
platform in the sunshine with one
OF his armed guards, he spoke to a
soldier.
"'Why do you not salute me?' he
asked.
The soldier replied solemnly,
You are no longer my emperor
But | am still a Colonel in the
Russian army said Nicholas.
The soldier hesitated only a mo-
ment and then replied, Yes but we
are all equal now; the common SOL
der is as good as the officer, and
there is no occasion for anybody sa-
luting anybody else
Nicholas never complained |

What Thought of Death
Did for a Soldier

The one thing that did more fol
me than anything else was the con
slant thought, writes Corpora
Holmes. There is nothing in the
world like that to make a man take
square look at himself. This week
may be the last you have to live
Sometimes it is"this day." or "this
hour even this very minute" You
get so that you live with that
thought all the time. And under all
the surface laughter and grumbling
there is a desperate wish to square
yourself with life. Even now that
| have come out of the war, | find
that | haven't lost that thought of
death. | don't believe a day goes
by that it dosen't come to me. Prob
ably it has become a habit OF mind.

WAR SUMMARY
(By The Associated Press }

by ne Associated ITeSS.)
In the east, from Moscow to
Vladivostok and from the White
Sea to the Caspian the situation on
daily becomes more interesting and
more menacing to Germany. From
Archangel allied troops have made
good progress southwark toward
Vologda and apparently are operat-
ing in three columns against the
bolsheviki, whose opposition it is
reported to be fairly determined.
The occupation OF Baku by Brit
ish troops who came north through
Persia from Bagdad is a blow to
German and Turkish pretensions in
the Caucasus. In the north, the
Czecho-Slovaks are in force along
the Volga under the command OF
experienced Russian generals. In
eastern Siberia, the position of the
allies apparently is improving, as
more troops are landed at Vladi-
vostok.
On Western Front.
dAlllNu pressure lldS DCCii tlltOliNN-
ly renewed against the German line
in the region of Roye. on the Pic
ardy battle front. The enemy is
clinging determinedly to this town
as a bulwark of the positions he
took up after being driven back
from the Amiens region. Both the
French and the British are push
in gcloser however, and making his
prolonged tenancy of the place
doubtful.
London last night reported the
British lines advanced northwest OF
Roye, in the neighborhood of Dam
cry and Parvillers, while today Paris
reports a forward movement on the
part Of the French, west and south
west of Roye, on a front OF about
2 l-2 miles.
Roye is fast becoming the vir-
tual apex of the salient, which will
invite a crushing allied stroke if
the Fronco- British pressure can be .
as effectively maintained as it has
been recently.
On the line between Chaulnes
and Roye, where the Germans are
said to have large number of men.
Canadian troops have pushed far
ther eastward by completing the oc-
cupation OF the villages OF Parvil- !
lers and Dammeryq. These points
are about two miles west OF the
highway and railroad running north
and south through Chaulnes.
Foe Still Hold Albert.
Apparently the enemy has COM
pleted his withdrawal movement in
the Hebuterne sector north of Al
bert. Berlin announces officially
that German troops were Withdrawn
from a small salient" However,
it is not yet clear how far the Ger
mans have retired. The enemy still
holds Albert, but the British are
in the western outskirts.
Btween the Oise and the Matz,
the French continue their steady
pressure and have gained additional
high ground west of the Oise and
northwest of Ribecourt. The Ger
mans fought hard 10 hold Mono

U0ssEmrArroN AND ECONOMY


We hear conservation and econos

that these two terms are not syno-
rymouS- AS matter of fact each
vsord has distinct meaning and

h~rwoMy and sometimes they do not.
Eut let us consider each one separ-

Economy briefly Is saving money.
N means eliminating waste OF any
csmrzodity, developing our resources
eg the fullest extent and giving up
xaH-essentials. In economizing each
Sxsliviiual must decide what things
are not absolutely necessary to his
welt-being. or course the objects sac
FIfksed will be very different; one
person Will economize on his ward

expenses and third on his amuse-

In thrift stamps and Liberty bonds.
To economize then keep your eye up
on your pocket book and let your
personal tastes dictate the means of
cutting down your expenses.
In conservation, on the other hand,
individual taste cannot play a part.
There are certain commodities abso-
lutely necessary for our armies and
those OF our allies. While the demand
for these articles is greater than
ever, the worlds supply. for reasons
which will be sufficiently obvious to
any one who considers the question,
is much smaller than usual. II we,
who can substitute other articles for

and limit still further the already
inadequate supply, the government

articles as published in the papers.
We must sacrifice even economy IL

The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war
profits stated that the five large meat packers have been
proeerng and that they have monopoly OF the market
These conclusions if fair and just matters OF serious
concern only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen OF our country
The fguresgven profits misleading and the state
men that the packers have monopoly is unsupported by
the facts.
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready prove
their profits reasonable and necessary.
The meat business is one of the largest American indus
tries Any citizen who would famiiarze himself with its
details must be prepared for large totals
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large
packers $140 200, 900 for the three war years
This sum is compared with $40 O0O 900 as the average
annual profit for the three years before the war; making
appear that the profit 100000 greater than
the pre-war profit
This compares hree-year profit with oneyear profit
manfestly unfair method of comparison 1t is not only
misleading but the Federal Trade Commission apparently
has made mistake in the figures themselves
The aggregate profit of EARN
ed on sales of four and half billion dollars 1t means
about three cents each dollar of saes-or frac
ton of a cent per pound OF product
Packers profits are negligible factor in prices of live
stock and meats No other large business is conducted
upon such small margins OF profit.
Furthermore-and this is very important only small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has been put back into the businesses 1t had to
be- as you realize when you consider the problems the
packers have had to sove-and solve quickly-during
these years.
To conduct this business in times with higher costs
and the necessity of paying two three times the former
prices for live stock has required the of two three
times the ordinary amount of working capital The add
onal profit makes only fair return this, and has

been stated the larger portion of the profits earned has
been used finance huge stocks of goods and to provide
additions and improvements made necessary by the enor
nous demands of our army and navy and the Allies.
If you are business you will appreciate the sgnifi
canoe of these facts you unacquanted with busi
ness talk this matter with business acquain
tance-wth your banker, say-and ask him to compare
profits of the packing industry with those OF any other
large industry at the present time
No evidence offered by the Federal Trade Commission
in support of the statement that the large packers have
monopoly. The Commissions report shows the large
number and Importance of other packers.
prove to any fair minded person that they are in keen
competition with each other and that they have no power
to manipulate prices.
If this were they would not dare to make this
positive statement.
Furthermore government figures show that the five large
packers mentioned in the report account for only about
one7thrd of the meat business Of the country
They wish were possible interest you the details of
their business Of how, for instance they sell dressed
beef for less than the cost of the live animal owing to
utilization of byproducts and of the wonderful story of
well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating
with each other to the extent of together presenting this
public statement.
They have been able to do big job for your government
in its time of need; they have met all time demands
promptly and completely and they willing to trust their
to the faimndedness of the American people with
the facts before them.
