HE WOULD LEAVE THEM IN FRANCE

General Pershing, whose opinions certainly are wor-
thy Of respect in all matters relating to American soldiers,
has expressed himself as opposed to the removal of our
dead from France for burial in this country. He says that
the men who fought and died in France can have no rest
ing place where their memory will be better preserved or
more highly honored, and he also uses the argument that.
lying in the cemetery now in preparation for them, not
only will they never be forgotten, but they will render a
last service to their country by reminding the coming gen.
Grafton of Frenchmen that men Of their nation and ours
fought and died together in a great and righteous cause.
Th-eSpermanency of the American cemetery in France
the general declares to be assured, and already he is ar
ranging for a commission Of artists to design its suitab BILE
establishment and the erection of proper monuments over
all the graves.
Discussion Of this subject starts up anew with a fire.
qucncy somewhat mysterious, as there seems to be nothing
like or approaching a general demand here in the United
States for the bringing back Of our dead, and not a few of
their relatives and members Of their families have mani
tested sometimes a willingness and sometimes a wish that
the colossal task Of removed be not attempted.
It's undertaking has in its favor, indeed, little more
than the argument Of custom as hitherto followed by our
government. In this case. however, the circumstances
are without precedent, and our relations with France, as
with England, are such as to give sufficient warrant for
a break with the old custom. In the soil of either. our
dead will not be far from home except by distance.

THE SUIT AGAINST THE PACKERS

The government has taken steps to bring suit against
the five great packing concerns under a long list. Of
charges, the substance Of which is that these packers have
established a monopollstie control over the meat industry,
and, in a measure. Of other lines Of food production and
distribution, and that they have used the advantage which
their position gives them for the purpose of wringing ex-
orbitant profits from the public.
1t is a matter for qualification that this suit has been
brought. The investigation in court, where complain
ants and defendants will have an equal right to appear
and to have their contentious set forth and Supported by
sworn testimony, will have the effect Of informing the
public concerning facts which have been buried under a
mass of extraneous matter which has no relation to the
subject.
During the past year or two such official informa-
ton as has been presented to the public has come through
the medium of the Federal Trade commission which has
given evidence of bias and incapacity unequalled, we be-
lieve, by any other public body. Whether or not that
commission was in possession of facts which would have
been of value to the public, it has not presented them.
Instead, it has presented CONGRATULATIONS on matters which
everybody knew. and which had no bearing on the situa-
ton. With a persistence as stubborn as it was unreason-
able, the commission has sought to inflame the public
mind against the packers by statements of the size of
these great packing companies, and the amount of their
gross profits, and it has harped on that feature in season
and out of season as If there was something essentially
wrong in great growth and large volume of business.
The plain citizen is not interested in whether the busi-
ness of Armour or Swift is measured by millions or bill
lions. He is not interested in the volume of profits of these
concerns. What. he is interested in is the price of meat
on the block, and how much he must pay for bacon for
his breakfast and the roast for his Sunday dinner, if he
still permits himself these luxuries. He is paying a big
price for his meats, and ne is entitled to know why. He
knows that live stock is bringing fancy prices, and that
the cost of handling has increased. What he is interested
packer pays for an animal, how much it costs hin to pre-
in. so far as the packers are concerned, is how much the
pare it, and how much he gets for it. If there is any un-
due margin between cost and selling price, the packer is
guilty of profiteering. Otherwise he is not. If he makes
profits his total volume of profit will be the profit on the
single animal multiplied by the number of animals. If the
profit on the single animal Is. reasonable, the gross profit
will be reasonable, no matter to how large figures it runs.
The Federal Trade commission has studiously avoid
ed everything which might aid to an intelligent under
standing of the situation. It is a good thing that at last
there is some prospect of an investigation which will pry
the facts loose and give them to the public.

is that Germany took advantage of a claim
against China which, in itself. was doubtless perfectly
to establish herself in Chinese soil.> China
granted her concession unoer duress. Germany accepted
= lease for % years. but with the expectation and the de.
termination that, long before the lease had expired she
would have found means to make her occupancy perma-
nent. Whether Germanys grievance was that her mis-
sionaries or her minister had been killed is a matter of
no importance.
While this is true. it is not a little surprising that
Mr.. Taft, most OF whose life has been spent in the atmos-
phere OF courts, where exact statement is regarded as one
OF the essentials, should have been so careless in this par
ticular statement Of fact. To his credit it may be said
that this sort Of carelessness is not characteristic Of him.

lean navy but the Prince of Batten-
burg trophy which goes with the title
had to be left behind in. the hands of
the Atlantic feet when the Arizona
was assigned to the west.
Prince Battenburg Of the British
navy donated a cup to be held by the
ships crew which won it in annual
competition. However he specified it
must be a ship of the Atlantic fleet.
The trophy was donated fifteen or
more years g when the Atlantic
fleet was about all there was to the
American navy
San Francisco sporting enthusiasts
have been informed of the lack of a

Pacific feet and a movement was put
under way for one to be donated from

1t was believed a suitable trophy
would be given the fleet by the Olym-
pic club Of San Francisco to be raced
for in inter-feet contests yearly or
more often.

FOUR TO ONE

How much have prices appreciated since the war
began, and why? In spite of all the investigations and
all the statistics which have been collected on the sub
ject, the facts are not easy to ascertain, for, while 1t may
be a comparatively simple matter for men trained in
that work to collect and tabulate prices, wholesale and
retail, OF certain representative commodities, it is not SO
easy to find out how these commodities figure in the
consumption of the average family. Not only have
prices changed, but, quite largely because of the changes
in prices, the purchasing habits of many families have
changed. We are not only paying different prices, but
we are using different sorts of goods and in different
quantities. With every element in the situation a var
liable one, it becomes next to impossible to arrive at an
equation.
A concrete instance of price advance which was re-
Gently brought to the, attention Of The Herald may be
] mentioned. Because the case is cited solely to illustrate
a point, the name, and even the class of the article in
question is not mentioned. 1t is not desired to fix at
tention on a particular case when that case is, or may
be, representative of a large group.
A small article in quite general use was sold generally
just before the war in the Grand Forks stores dealing
in that particular line at the rate of four for five cents.
Today the same article. identical in size, form and quail
ity. is sold at five cents each. There is thus a four-fold
increase in the retail price Of this particular article.
Why is there this advance, and who gets it?
The Herald has no knowledge of how the profits
on this article are apportioned, but it submitst that some
where along the line beginning with the production of
the raw material and ending with the display on the re-
tailers counter there is an advance which is not war
ranted by anything that the public knows of cost of pro-
duction and distribution. The raw material used in this
article has advanced in cost perhaps SO per cent. Labor
may have advanced as much as 100 per cent, light, fuel,
freight charges, and other items entering into manufac-
ture and handling have increased, but in few cases, If in
any. as much as 100 per cent. Yet the selling price to-
day is just 400 per cent of the selling price a few years
ago. There is an explanation, but we confess frankly
that we do not know what It is.

CRAZYHEADEDNESS
UNDER STRESS
(From Minneapolis Journal.)

The tendency of a man to get crazy
headed under stress is easier to com
ment on than it is to correct. And
the same thing is characteristic Of the
crowd, too. The moi spirit is some-
what understood as a matter of psy-
chology. kipling wrote a notable
poem Of this very matter of keeping
ones head in times Of stress. It start
ed with these lines:
IF you a keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
YOU
and ending with the words
yours is the earth and everything
that's in it,
And, which is more, you'll be q Man.
my son."
This is the worlds time of stress
and a great many individuals and
numerous peoples are becoming more
or less crazyheaded. One instance was
noted last week in the news from the
ocean port of Geonoa in italy. A
cargo of five million eggs en- route
from this country to Switzerland was
allowed. to spoil in the harbor because
Of disorders that prevented the I'M
loading of the steamer. Yet those
caused by the high prices Of food
.stuffs which the eggs would have par
TALLY relieved somewhere. Crazyhead-
edness!
Many workers feel, and with more
or less justice, that prices have ad-
vanced far beyond wages; and so.
without developing any farsightedness
in the matter. they strike. and thus in
terfere with production and transpor-
tation and ten to push up prices IN
themselves still higher while their
wages have been stopped. Crazyhead-
edness again!
Producers or merchants, or manu-
~facturers e prices around them rise
and, with hasty judgment Of what the
results may be, they naturally follow
the trend at some points.
1t is a time Of testing for everybody
concerned. Nobody is quite happy
under the present world circum-
stances. We are just out Of a great
war, a great orgy of waste and de-
struction. 1t is notably a time ''for
keeping your head when all about you
are losing theirs" and perhaps "blam-
ing it on you
Are you going to 'be a man, my
son." as the poet asks Of us all. or are
you going to get crazyheaded and add
your mite to the general sum-total Of
confusion and nearsiEhtedness?

When Baron Lancken
Is Put On Trial
Brussels, July 12.-tcorrespondence

Brussels, July 12.-tCorrespondence
of the Associated Press)-If Baron
Won der Lancken-W alkenitz, civil gov
ernor and regarded by many as the
real ruler of Belgium during the Ger
man occupation, is brought to trial
at the Old Bailey in London, there
will be present an whom
Lancken tried to send. to the firing
squad at the Tir National. That man
Is CASTOR dc Leval, a Belgian attorney,
legal counsellor of the American le-
cation and special aid to the Ameri-
can ambassador, Brand Whitlock and
can legation. during those dark days
of the German occupation in Belgium.
There is bitter hatred between
Baron Lancken and the Belgian attor-
ney who risked his life in his attempt
to save Miss Edith Cave1l. the British
nurse, from execution. Had it not
been for the Intervention of Ambassa-
dor Whitlock and Mr.. Gibson a firing
squad might have entertained de Lee
1915.
De Leval accompanied Mr.. Gibson
when, on October II. the American
secretary went to protest to von. der
Lancken against execution of the
death sentence upon Miss Carell.
While the Spanish minister. the Mar
quis of Villalobar, was arguing with
o der Lancken who refused to in
tervene, the German caught sight OF
de Leval and exclaimed: There is an
enemy subject, what is he doing
here?" Marquis Villalobar and Mr..
Gibson Immediately recognized that
Lancken was attempting to create a
diversion and requested de Leval to
withdraw. The latter refused. saying.
II shall live to prosecute you at your
trial" Lancken asked Gibson to dis
miss de Leval from the service Of the
American legation, Gibson refused.
A few days later Lancken came rag
ing to the American legation, bear
ing a copy of an English paper with
the story of the execution Of Miss Ca
veil. including MI. Whitlock's report
to the state department. Gibson's mar
rative of the events and de Leval's
legal conclusions.
This man de Leval will have to be
ton" said Lancken. "Under military
law he should be tried by a court
martial. I would recommend that the
most severe penalty be visited upon
him."
On October 81, 1915. Lancken re-
turned to the legation and demanded
that de Leval be given up. Mr.. Whit
lock refused. De Leval went to Lon
don where he remained throughout
the war.
Lancken's parting sally to de Leval
was: rive shall meet again." De Leval
retorted: IT am sure the pleasure will
be all mine" And now they may meet
at the Old BAILEY.
