Wilson In 'Near Panic"
Regarding the political situation the
major wrote at length. A few excerpts
from the letters will speak for them
selves. On June 4, on the eve of the
national conventions, he said:
" 4lson, know, is in a near panic
over the coming campaign His des-
Peratlon is perceptably growing daily"

nee at Chicago if he were other than
Roosevelt. This only demonstrates
no" anxious the administration people
are growing over the attitude Of the
German-American element in the cam
paign."
On June 1 he said:
The nomination of Hughes cinches
the support of the powerful Morgan
interests to the Wilson cause. The
Morgans have never been able to use
Hughes. 1t is now certain that
the Morgans will finance the Wilson
campaign through Cleveland II. Dodge

Washington -. think the Standard
Oil interests and the Lord Cowdry oil
interests in Mexico will pour out their
millions to the Hughes managers, while
the Morgan Guggenheim combination
will do the same for the Wilson man
ayers"
''NO Sincerity on Either Side
"With their usual ,fatuousness," he
wrote next day. "the Democratic man
ayers are observing that the German
American question is a two-edged
sword and that it may cut more deeply
into the real American vote ,han into
the German American vote should Will

"Therc s no sincerity on either side

on June 14 "though the Wilson crowd

Profits of Big Meat Con
Germs Were Doubled and

Tells Senate Committee

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Food ad-

expert accountant employed by the
Federal Trade Commission, told the
Senate Agriculture Committee to-day
in presenting figures to show that
profits of the five big packing con
Germs had doubled and trebled during
the war.
Mr.. Chase, who was tcstifying at
hearings on the Kendrick bill provid-
ing for government supervision of the
meat industry, said on one knows ac-
curately what the packers earnings
are because their methods of book
keeping cover up their profits. He de
clared, however. examinations by the
commission of the books of Armour &
Co, Morris & Co., Swift & Co., Wilson
& Co. and the Cudahy Company
showed their aggregate profits in 1912
were $l8, 715,000 and in 1917 95639,

Huge Profits Revealed
Based on capital stock, Mr.. Chase
said, Morris g. Co.'s profits in 1917
were 2677 per cent, and that on the
same basis Armour G. Co.'S profits in
1916 were 1142 per cent. Because of
a later increase in capital stock the
percentage for Armour &, Co. dropped
to 27.1 in 1917. Swift & Co.'S profits
IN 1917 on the same basis were 63 pei
cent, while those of the Cudahy Com
pany in 1917 were 23.2 per cent base, d
on capital stock and surplus. Wilson
& Co.'S earnings for the same year
were 29.6 per cent on the combined
capital and surplus.

by the Federal Grand Jury for his al
