Delicate Mechanism

Despite its scope Swift &
Company is business of in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge Of weight price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. "A highly perishable product
must be handed with speed and care
to avoid loss. -"
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute competi-
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements ofintelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli.
cate human mechanism be improved
upon2
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered the
producer and consumer?

1t is said that for fruits and vege-
tables preserved by this process the
cost is less than that of canning; that
the only containers required are pap

and jars, and the space required Is
also much less. The process consists

WAR DEPARTMENT HAS
HALTED THE PUBLIC
BUILDING CAMPAIGN

The "war department has today
decided to stop the campaign for pub
lie building throughout the United
States" it was announced by Colonel
Arthur Woods, assistant to the secre-
tary of war.
This decision was taken because the
decrease of unemployment in many
localities has been so marked that
some difficulty is reported in Obtains
ing soldier labor for the normal in
dustrial operations. II is therefore
considered that the further stimula-
ton of public building at this time
would be inadvisable.
The energies devoted in the past to
the stimulation of public building, it
was further decided, will now be turn
ed particularly into assisting profess
sional and technical men in finding
jobs. The work of placing this class
of ex-soldiers presents unusual diff
ficulties because the demand for the
high grade of ability possessed by
these men is not at present in such
great demand as ordinary labor. An
active campaign, however, is being
conducted to secure information from
trade associations, technical societies,
professional societies and large en-
ployers with a view TO finding all
possible opportunities for discharged
army men who qualify in this way.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. IL
Secretary Lansing has several care
fully prepared statements to present

day at his second appearance before
the committee TO discuss the peace
treaty and related subjects. The pre-
pared statements are replies TO vari-
Gus questions asked Secretary Lans-
ing when he appeared before the COM
mittee last week, but which he could
not answer without consulting the
state department.
Most Of the questions asked the
secretary at that time and to which
He could- not reply Immediately were
concerning the governments negotia-
tions with Japan during the war and
the attitude Of the American govern
ment toward China's entrance into
the wan on the, side o fthe allies
President Wilson il also expected to
submit information bearing on the
Versailles negotiations in response to
the resolution presented last week.
The various data bearing upon or
used in connection with the compila-
tion Of the peace treaty is said by
President Wilson to be 50 miscellan-
cous and enormous that il would be
impossible TO supply them without
bringing from Paris the whole file Of
the papers Of the commission itself
This would necessarily include mem
oranda which the commission agreed
upon grounds Of public policy il
would be unable to make use Of out
side the conference.
President Wilson wrote to Senator
Lodge. chairman Of the senate for
eign relations committee, today that
il was impossible to comply with the
committees request for tfc docu-
ments used by the American peace
commissioners in Paris in connection
with the negotiations on the peace
treaty. The president submitted the
informal draft of the League Of Ma
tions covenant and also the formal

conference depends upon the action
Of Director General Hines, sand J. ID.

union Should the railroad adminis-
tration delay action on the demands
of the strikers the men refuse to

The fact that many Of the men are
returning to work il regarded as a
good index of a change of sentiment
in many quarters. Many of them
realize the necessity Of maintaining
the transportation facilities Of the
country, and the request Of President
Wilson made a deep impression.

fog on the Canadian side of the Strait
of Juan de Fuca.
The Yomei went aground at near
midnight on Race rocks, and is re-

The Shinbu grounded at daybreak
on Bentinck island, but was fioated
three hours later and proceeded to
Port Angeles in leaking condition.
Later-It is reported that the Yo-
mel Maru is not ashore, but that Vic
toria may have confused the two yes
sells. Only the Sinbu Maru is aground,
it is stated.
