FOOD ADMINISTRATION
NO BENEFIT IN MEAT,
EXPERT TELLS SENATORS

Washington, Jan. 20.-Food ad-
ministration regulations neither reg
ulated profits of the meat packers
nor benefited the public or the con-
sumers, Stuart Chase, and expert ac-
countant employed. by the federal
trade commission, told the senate ag-
riculture committee in presenting
figures to show that profits of the five
big packing concerns had doubled
and trebled during the war.
Mr.. Chase, who was testifying at
hearings on the Kendrick bill provid-
ing for government supervision Of the
meat industry, said no one knows
accurately what the packers earn
ings are because their methods Of
bookkeeping have the effect Of COW
ering up their profits. He declared,
however, that examination by the
commission Of the books of Armour
& Co., Morris & Co., Swift & Co.,
Wilson g. Co. and the Cudahy COM
pany showed their aggregate profits
in 1912 were $18,715,000 and in
1917 $95, $4,000.
Based on capital stock, Mr.. Chase
said, Morris G. Co.'S profits in 1917
were 267.7 per cent and that on the
same basis Armour & Cos profits in
1916 were 114.2 per cent.

JAPANESE HAVE BIG BILL
FOR VESSELS BEING SUNK
(By United Press }

Toxic, Dec. -. (By Mail. JAP
anese shipowners, whose ships were
sunk by the Germans are consider
ing the question of compensation to
be exacted from Germany. Repre-
sentatives of several of the largest
concerns held meeting at the Kobe
Chamber of Commerce recently to
discuss this question. According to
statements made at the meeting, 81
Japanese ships were lost, totaling
132,384 tons.
A committee of three owners was
chosen at the meeting to determine
the cost of the ships, the amount OF
money they would have earned had
they not been destroyed, the total OF
the relief funds paid out to the
families of the ships lost crews and
the, like. 1t is roughly estimated
that the amount of compensation to
be demanded from Germany will be
about $100,000,000. ~ Mr.. Tameno-
suke Ishibashi of the Suzuki Shoten,
Kobe, has arrived in Tokyo to take
the matter up with the department
of communications. @ .
Referring to this matter, Chief
Wakamiya of the merchantile
marine bureau said: @ -s51re ..~
1T is quite proper that the owners
of those ships which were victims Of
German lawlessness should demand
COMPENSATION. 1t would, however,
be a very difficult matter to arrive
at proper estimate of the loss
caused by German barbarity. The
total tonnage lost in the war on ac-
count of submarine warfare Is put
at $4,000, 900 tons. and the ship
owners in Great Britain and allied
countries, whose property has suf-
fered, are considering ways in which
compensation Is to be exacted. 1t
will be interesting to know the way
in whicn Germany will be induced
to pay such compensation"

CHAPLAIN WHO BURIED
BEMIDl SOLDIER IN
FRANCE WRITES PARENTS

Some time ago report reached the
parents of Private II. Fickstadt to
the effect that he had been killed in
action In France. Soon thereafter
they received letter from him and
concluded him alive. A wrong date
in a telegram gave them to under
stand he was alive. Now comes a
letter to Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Eick-
stadt, written by Arthur w. Moulton,
chaplain of the Red Cross, on active
service, telling Of the supreme sacri-
flee made by the Bemidji soldier 1t
is addressed to the mother Of the
soldier and is as follows:
"You have learned about the sick
ness and death Of your son, Private
II. Eickstadt, from the war depart
ment VIII you permit me to write
to you a little more at length about
him.
"He was brought into our hospital
suffering from wounds received On
the field of battle and fingered for a
few days during which we did every
thing we could for him. cannot tell
you exactly the nature of his wounds
but believe he was badly hurt in
the head. He died on the 21st Of
November and was buried on the
s23rd
II visited him during his sickness
and went with him to the end. It
was my privilege to officiate at his
funeral and 1t will comfort you to
know that he received every atten-
tion and care. He was buried with
all military honors in the British
cemetery Of Terlinethun, near Bou-
logne. It is beautiful spot over
looking the sea and as time goes on,
will be still more beautiful.
"Over your sons grave stands a
cross, on which his name Is written
so that his grave will always be easy
to identify. At the service the Amer
ican Red Cross placed a bouquet OF
flowers upon his casket and you will
receive letter from the representa-
tive OF that organization.
Il am full of sympathy for you in
your loss and IL there is anything
more that I can do for you or tell
you I shall be most glad If you will
met me know. Your son Is not lost
to you forever. He has marched on
to claim his perfect reward from the
Giver of victory and will be restored
to you in the great future one of
these days. That is the faith we need
and I am sure that the mothers OF
our land possess it.
II wish l could help you more"
