Mr.. Morris said today the meat in
dustry now was being operated at the
highest degree of efficiency possible
and that both producers and packers
were being justly treated. So long as
that continued he said the packers
should be left alone.
This is particularly true he said,
because the packers are now facing
great loss as the result of the sud-
den ending of the war. Huge guam
high prices were paid and for which
there are no markets. My company

SELL IBoN CROSSES WITH
AMERICAN FLAG ATTACHED
German Shopkeepers in Coblenz Are
Jai1ed-Hagenback Circus in
Occupied Territory.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION. Sunday. January rs (by
the Associated Press).-In the Coblenz
newspapers today the burgomaster ap-
peals to the self-respect of the Ger
mans to refrain from concentrating
iron crosses and other German deco
rations of war.
The American intelligence officers
have discovered several instances
where shopkeepers near Coblenz sold
il on cross watch fobs with minia-
ture American flag pinned to the rib
bons. This fact resulted in the arrest
of several Germans, who were SEN
fenced to Jail. The burgomasters of
both Treves and Coblenz notify the
civilians in today's newspapers that
the use of the American colors for
commercial purposes must cease. They
warned the Germans that if there is
an infraction of American orders in
this respect they must suffer the con-
sequences.
The Americans in the occupied zone
are to be given an opportunity to see
Hagenbacks trained animals on a war
basis. Before the war the Hagenbacks
had more than 500 animals, but these
have been reduced in number during
the war. SO that when the circus ar
rived in Coblenz it had only 100 speci-
mems. Camels. llamas and many other
animals have been killed since the war
started owing to the scarcity of food.
Fifteen elephants of a herd of thirty
remain. Fifteen of the elephants were
killed last winter and the meat was
sold to civilians in the interior of Ger
many where the circus was exhibiting.
The circus was permitted to enter
the occupied area on the provision
that the intoxicating animals would
be fed with the carcasses of horses
and other animals which are consid-
cred unfit for human consumption.
Carl Hagenback is with the circus.
The first performance will be given
February 1.

AT this time of changed and chang

vital necessity that there be friendly
