TIE R-34 REACHES
 HOME PORT SAFELY
MAKES RETURN TRIP TO ENG- LAND IN 75 HOURS AFTER
 LEAVING AMERICA.
NO ACCIDENTS ON JOURNEY
Crowd Greets Voyagers-Crew of 400 Men Ready and Aid in Housing Big Ship
 Safely.

Putnam, Norfolk-Great Britain's mammoth transatlantic air pioneer, the diriglble R-34, arrived at the ar station here, completing her round trip from the British Isles to the Unit ed States and return.
 The R-34 pointed her nose ouc of the clouds northeast of the village and after circling the flying field three times glided gently to the ground and 10 minutes later was housed in the dirigible shed The voyage from Long Island was with out particular incident and was com pleted in approximately 75 hours
 Soon after daybreak 400 men sta toned at the airdrome were reused from their sleep to prepare for the landing. Lookouts took position Tn towers and wireless operators prepar- ed to pick up messages from the air ship. The sun rose bright but soon afterward was obscured by clouds There was no wind and those on watch were confident that the dirigi- ble would arrive on time
 Shouts from those on the field greeted the first sight of the long gray body low on the horizon. As the R-54 approached the field she dropped from a height of 5000 feet to 2,000 feer. The men who were to aid the airship in landing were ordered to their posi- tion and waited silently as the snip circled the field, dropping lower and lower
 When Maj c. H. Scott, her com mander, had manuevered the airshtp into position for the landing the wa ter ballast was released to steady her and rope was thrown from the bow. The rope was grasped by eager hands and the giant ship moved across the field to the shed where the delicate operation of berthing her was quickly completed without acci- dent.

PACKERS ACCUSED
 OF MEAT CONTROL
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION SAYS "BIG FIVE" WILL SOON
 CONTROL ALL COMMODITIES.

Washington. An approaching packer domination of all important: food in the United States and an in- ternational control of meat products with foreign companies seems a cer- tainty unless fundamental action IS taken to prevent it, the federal trade commission declared in part one of extent and growth of power of the five packers in meat and other indus tries"
 "A fair consideration of the course the five packers have followed, the position they have already reached" ," said the report, must lead to the con clusion that they threaten the free dom of the market of the country's food industries and of the by-products linked herewith. The meat packer control of other foods will not require long in developing"
 Declaring "the history of the pack ers' growth is interwoven with Illegal combinations, rebates and with undis- closed control of corporations, the report urges the importance of full publicity of corporate ownership for all industries.
 Alleging that the "big five" pack ers-Swift & Co.,, Armour & Co.,, Will son & Co, Morris & Go. and the Cud- ahy Company-jointly or separately wield controlling interest in STA com panies, minority interest in 95 others and undetermined interest in 93-a total of 762 companies-andt that they produce os deal in some ITS commod- ities, largely food products, the re- port gives this picture of growing packer invasion into related and un- related industries.
 "In addition to meat foods, they produce or deal in such divers com modities as fresh tomatoes, and ban to strings, leather and cotton seed oil, breakfast foods, win fig, curled hair, pepsin and washing powders.

WAR EXPENSES OF
 U. s. S3O,l77,OOO,OO
SECRETARY GLASS ESTIMATES COST OF WAR TO JUNE 30
 OF THIS YEAR.

Washington. The war cost the United States $30,177 100000 up to June 30. 1919 Secretary Glass made this estimate in submitting to the Congressional Appropriations Com mittee the preliminary statements of the treasury on the condition of the nations finances. He arrived at the estimate by subtracting the average peace-time expenses for the same length of time, at the rate of $1,- 000, 0,000,000 annually from the total expenditures $32,427 100000 during the war.
 Taxes and other revenues than bor- rowed money took care of $9,3S4,- 900, 1000, or about 29 per cent of the war cost. The remainder came from Liberty bond and Victory note is- sues and saving stamps.
 Further issues of bonds. MT. Glass said, will not be necessary before the maturity or redemption of the Vic tory notes," which have four years to run. While it is impossible to es- timate the expenses to be incurred during tie present fiscal year, the. secretary is confident that treasury certificates, supplemented by short term notes, will provide the neces- sary funds to pay tie governments debts
 q need scarcely to say" the sec retary added, that the realization of these sanguine expectations is con tingent upon the practice of the most rigid economy by the government and the continuance of ample reve- nues from taxation. Such course, accompanied by the practice of sober economy and wise investment by our people, and strict avoidance of waste and speculation, will make it possible for the American people to respond to the demands to be made upon them privately for capital and credit by the nations of Europe-demands which are reinforced by the strong est and most vital ties of sympathy for the allies, who fought and won the war with us-as well as by the most obvious dictates of self inter est''

War Statesmen Agreed.

Tho statesmen of ali the belligerent countries were agreed that such a league must be created to sustain the settlements that were to be effected. But at first 1 think there was a feel ing among some of them that, while it must be attempted, the formation of such league was perhaps a counsel of perfection which practical men, long experience in the world of affairs, must agree to very cautiously and with many misgivfngs
 It was only as the difficult work of arranging an all but universal adjust ment of the worlds affairs advanced from day to day, from one stage of conference to another that it became evident to them that what they were seeking would be little ynore than something written upon paper, to be interpreted and applied by such meth ods as the chances of politics might make available, if they did not provide a means of common counsel which all were obliged to accept, common au- thority whose decisions would be rec ognized as decisions which all must respect.

SkepticaI Turn to League.

And so the most practical, the most skeptical among them turned more and more to the league as the author ity through which international action was to be secured, the authority with out which, as they had come to see it, it would be difficult to give assured effect to this treaty or to any other in ternational understanding upon which they were to depend for the mainte- nance of peace.
 The most practical of the con ferees were at last the most ready to refer to the league of nations the superintendance of all interests which did not admit of immediate determination of all administrative problems which were to require continuing oversight. What had seemed counsel of perfection had come to seem a plain counsel of neces- Sity. The league of nations was the practical statesman's hope of success in many of the most difficult things he was attempting.
 And it had validated itself in the 1 thought of every member of the con 1 ference as something much bigger
 much greater every way than a mere instrument for carrying out the pro- | visions of a particular treaty. It was l universally recognized that all the peoples of the world demanded of the conference that it should create sucl
 continuing concert of free nations as would make wars of aggression and spoliation, such as this that has 1 just ended, forever impossible A cry had gone out from every home in every stricken land from which sons and brothers and fathers had gone forth to the great sacrifice that such a sacrifice should never again be exacted.
 It was manifest why it had been exacted. It had been eXacted because one nation desired dominion and other nations had known no means of de- fense except armaments and alliances.
 Old Policy Meant Force. War had lain at the heart of every arrangement of Europe-of every | arrangement of the world-that pre- 1 ceded the war. Festive peoples had | been told that fleets and armies, which | they toiled to sustain, meant peace | and they now know that they had been l lied to: that fleets and armies had been maintained to promote national ambitions and meant war. They knew that no old policy meant anything else l but force, force-always force. And | they knew that it was intolerable

to be the end of cooperative authority and common counsel among the gov ernments to which the world was look ing to enforce justice and give pledges of an enduring settlement, regions like the Saar basin could not be put under a temporary administrative re- gime which did not involve a transfer of political sovereignty and which contemplated a final determination of ITS political connections by popular vote to be taken at distant date no free city like Danzig could be ere ated which was under elaborate inter- national guaranties to accept excep- tional obligations with regard to the use of it's port and exceptional rela- tions with a state of which it was not to form part; properly safeguarded plebiscites could not be provided for, where populations were at some flu ture date to make choice what sover- eighty they would live under; no cer- tain and uniform method of arbitra- tion could be secured for the settle ment of anticipated difficulties of final decision. with regard to many matters dealt with in the treaty itself; the long continued supervision of the task of reparation which Germany was to undertake to complete within the next generation might entirely break down the reconsideration and revision of ad- mlnistratiye arrangements and restric- tions which the treaty prescribed, but which it was recognized might not prove of lasting advantage or entirely fair if too long enforced, would be i'm practicable
 A league of free nations had become a practical necessity. Examine the treaty of peace, and you will find that everywhere throughout it's manifold provisions it's framers have felt obliged to turn to the League of Nations as an indispensable instrumentality for the maintenance of the new order it has been their purpose to set up in the world, the world of civilized men.
 That there should be a League of Nations to steady the counsels and maintain the peaceful understanding of the world, to make, not treaties alone, but the accepted principles of international law as well, the actual rule of conduct among the govern ments of the world, has been one of the agreements accepted from the first as the basis of peace with the central powers.
