MOBILE GUNS ON COAST
War Department Planning for Better
Defense of WASHINGTON.

War department experts have been
making careful study of the defenses
Of the Chesapeake bay district and the
vicinity of Roanoke, Va, for the pur-
pose Of putting into service big guns
on railway mounts to supplement the
fixed Notifications maintained for the
defense of the national capital. A num-
Der Of heavy howitzers and rifles
mounted on railway carriages already
are available for the new coast de-
lenses. Other units are under consid-
Grafton and still others will be brought
back from France. These include IL
inch and 16-inch weapons.
Coast artillery officers have called a
conference of railroad officials whose
lines center In Baltimore, Richmond
and Wilmington, n. c., regarding the
practicability of constructing perma-
nent spurs from the main lines to the
coast along Chesapeake bay. Installa-
ton of the new batteries for the de-
Tense of Washington is said to be the
first step In program to supplement
the defenses Of both the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts with mobile big guns.

GOT ROAST BEEF
Crew Of United States Vessel Fed
Hungry Citizens Of Roumania.

Hungry Citizens Of Roumania.
Some of the inhabitants Of Con-
stanza, Rosmanian city on the Black
sea, tasted meat for the first time In
two years when few weeks ago the
crew Of the u. S. s. Western Plains
roasted a whole beef and gave ii to
them, writes ]. @. Piper, seaman, In
letter to friends In Louisiana.
People at Constanza and other Rou-
manian seapOrts visited by the West
ern Plains were found to be actually
starving to death. writes Piper. At
Constanza the men employed to help
unload the vessel were so weak from
hunger they could not work.
While money was plentiful there
was no food to be bought. says the
letter of Piper to his friends. The
Germans stripped the country clean
of foodstuffs. Children were dying
daily from starvation. Clothing was
so scarce the people wore clothes
made from burlap. The Western
Plains was at Camden, N. j., when
Piper wrote.

Delicate Mechanism

Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business of in
finite details. requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge Of weight, price, the amount
and quality Of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute COMPETE
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements ofintelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings Of this deli.
cate human mechanism be improved
upon?
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered the
producer and consumer?
