MRS. KELLEY URGES | FEDERAL CONTROL
 OF MEAT INDUSTRY
General Secretary National Consumers League Ap- pears Before Com
 merce Committee
By Associated Press


 Washington. February 13.-GoV-
 ernment regulation and control of
 the meat industry was urged before
 the House interstate commerce
 committee today by Mrs. Florence
 Kelley, general secretary of the
 National Consumers' league. She
 appeared after Francis j. Heney,
 former counsel for the federal
 trade commission, had finished pre-
 senting his views as to federal
 regulation.
 Mrs. Kelley told the committee th' consumers of the country were unani mously in favor of government inter vention in the packing business ant that they would not let Congress rest until definite action had been taken She said that if the government would take control. prices of meat would b' reduced and the poor would be abl to buy it again. Thousands of person in the large cities have not tasted mea for years, Mrs. Kelley said, becaus prices have gone beyond the reach o their purses.
 Interests of the live stock producers as we'll as these of the wage earners would be safeguarded under govern ment control, the witness asserted, an' the danger of the packers gaining monopolistic control of large mum Der of other food products beside meats would be removed.
 MT. Heney in concluding his testi mony, said the extent of the activitie of the five leading meat packers woul prove a disadvantage to them rathe than an advantage if the governmen would take away the special privilege they possessed. He suggested that tn government take over the packers re frigerator cars and stockyards an build cold storage plants in the larg cities.
 If this would be done" he said. 'th big packers would be placed on tn same footing as their competitors, an their great size would no longer be 0 advantage to them.'

 tinguished service medal.
 The double ceremony took place in Sec, rotary Bakers office. The presentation of the French decorations was attended by full military customs of France, Gen erai Collardet touching each recipient or each shoulder with his saber while the staff Of the embassy stood at at tention with drawn swords. The decora- tions, General Collardet said, would be to these officers and their families al ways d reminder of the lasting apprecia- ton of France for their part in the i'm. portant role the United States army hat played in the winning of the great war.
 SecI etary Baker said he hoped the pre- sentation of distinguished service med aIs in the American forces would aIway. be carried out with simplicity tha marked the fact that it was recognition by the nation of the high national service a citizen had performed, whether soldier or civilian. It was a happy omen, h. said, that two men who had played s' great a part in the success of American war enterprises as had Mir. Stettiniu ana MT. Franklin, the one in the procure ment of munitions both here and abroad and the other in supervising the vast ant complicated transport fleets, should thu stand side by side with their soldier com ra( (,es to receive their rewards.

FAvORS CHAMBERLAIN BILL

 General Ansell told the committee that personally he favored the pending Chamberlain bill granting broad DOW CTS of review in courtmartial cases. but said that generally war depart ment officials opposei the provisions of the measure. Prior to the war, he said, American coure-martial laws were more stringent than those of any other country excepting Spain. Ger many and Russia.
 Review of court-martial sentence. in General Anselrs opinion, should be placed in the hands of judicial of ficer. Granting of the power to the President, he said, was tantamount to placing it in the hands of the chief of staff.
 Citing cases of what he character ized as unusually severe sentences inn posed by courts martial. General An sell told of a soldier who was sen fenced to 70 years at nard labor and dishonorable discharge for absenting himself without leave from camp for 2S days. The sentence was later re- duced to 10 years. he said.
 Another soldier. he said, was con victed for unlawfully possessing pass in and out of camp and was sentenced to dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of pay and 10 years at hard labor. The sentence later was reduced to three years by the commanding officer. In another case he cited soldier was I sentenced to 30 years imprisonment for refusal to participate in drills. but tho sentence was later reduced to 20 years. The judge advocate general told of national army man who was sem .tenced to be executed for absenting himself from his command for five months While not defending deser- tion, he said, there were extenuating !, circumstances in the case the youth s father was on his deathbed and the boy returned voluntarily after his father died Although the sentence of death was never carried out, he did not recall the final disposition of the case | All of the cases cited, he said, oc- cured in the United States.

WILSON DELIVERS ADDRESS

Paris, February 13.-President Viii son, in addressing today delegation from the French Association for So- ciety of Nations, said:
 T appreciate very deeply what has been said, and I take it that the kind suggestion that is sometime after my return we should arrange a public meeting at which, am quite confident, we may celebate the completion of the work. at any rate up to a certain very far advanced stage, the consummation of which we have been working and hoping for for a long time.
 Tt would be very happy thing if that could be arranged. I can only say for myself that I sincerely hope it can be. I should wish to lead any assistance possible to so happy con- summation.
 ..I cannot help thinking of how many miracles this war has already wrought. miracles of comprehension as to our inter dependence as nations and as human be- ingss miracles as to tho removal of ob- stacles which seemed big and now have grown small, in the way of active and organized cooperation of nations; in re- gard to the establishment and mainte- nance of justice.
 And the thoughts of the people hav- ing been drawn together, there has all ready been created force which is not only very great. but very formidable, force which can be rapidly mobilized, a force which is very effective when mo- X biized. namely, the moral force of the world.
 ALL THINK ALIKE
 "One advantage in seeing one another and talking with one another, is to find that, after all, we all think the same way.
 We may try to put the result of the thing into different forms, but we start with the same principles.
 T have often been thought of as a man more interested in principles than in practice, whereas, as a matter of fact, I can say that in one sense, principles have never interested me Because prin- cipIes prove themselves when stated. They do not need any debate. The thing that is difficult and interesting is how to put them into practice. Large dis course is not possible on the principles. but large discourse is necessary on the matter of realizing them.
 ''So that, after all, principles until translated into practice are very thin and abstract and, I may add, uninterest- ing things. It is not interesting to have far-away visions, but it is interesting to have nearby visions of what it is pos sible to accomplish. And in a meeting such as you are projecting perhaps we can record the success that we shall have then achieved of putting great principle into practice, and demonstrated that it can be put into practice. though only, let us say, five years ago it was con- sidered an impractical dream.
 sI will cooperate with great happi- ness in the plan that you may form after my return and thank you very warmly for the compliment of this personal visit"
