NEARING THE END.

According to announcements from
authoritative sources, the long period
of waiting for the formulation OF the
peace treaty is nearly at an end. If
this is SO, the council of four must
have compromised these differences
which, according to the reports of cor
respondents from day to day, seemed
almost impossible of adjustment. The
peace treaty in its final form will no
doubt fall short of being entirely sat
isfactory to the four statesmen who
pass final judgment on its commando
ments, and it is altogether too much
to expect that, when they are issued.
they will be received with universal
praise. As il is known, there are
few difficult questions still to be dealt
with but it could hardly be that such
high expectations of the contamination
of the peace treaty would be encouraged
if the council of four were unable to see
their way to final decisions on the re-
naming questions to be disposed of.
As to- the disposition of Fiume and
the settlement of the boundaries of
Italy, it seems as if, in view of the
statements of one of the Italian dele
gates TO the peace conference. it will
be found the decision of the superior
council has been in favor of the claim
of Italy to the possession of Fiume.
/ This delegate allows himself to be
quoted as saying that no decision has
been reached as yet, but, according to
his representations, there are grave
possibilities ahead if Italy is denied
its claim to Fiume. 1t is a question as
to whether Italy shall be denied or the
new Jugoslav state shall be denied. The
Italian delegation rests, the claim OF
Italy, not merely upon the part she took
in the war, but upon the principle of
self determination. 1t is represented
that before the entry of Italian troops
into Fiume, the city had appointed .
council of 800 prominent citizens, and
that this council had arranged pleb
iscite, which decided in favor of an
nexation to Italy. Alongside the pre-
sentation of Italy case there goes :
very strong intimation that Italy vii
have nothing TO do with peace treaty
which does not make Fiume an Italian
possession.

TELLS SENATORS
ABOUT BEEF COSTS
This May Throw Some Light on
the Price You Pay for
! Beefsteak.

Testifying recently before a body Of
senators in Washington, a vice-prest-
dent Of one Of the large packing con-
Germs (F. Edison White Of Armour and
Company made the astounding state
ment that so far in their fiscal year,
which would cover the past eight or
nine months. his company had made
no money whatever on beef"
This statement is doubtless well
nigh incredible to the average man.
Yet it al made in full knowledge that
the senators had access to the COM
pany's books.
Recovering from the first shock, this
same average man will say, Eyes, but
the packers are shrewd; what they do
not make on the beef they more than
make up on the hides"
But even this illusion was destined
to be shattered. Mr.. White explained
that his statement included everything

that amount is credited. The visceral
fat, ofal and everything else that
comes from the steer r likewise
credited at their prevailing market
values. What remains is taken as the
cost price of the meat. The beef car
cass is then shipped to one Of the To-
cal distributing branch houses, and
the manager there is given the cost
price with instructions to sell the beef
at a profit if he ian. But in any event,
whether the local market be lively or
dull, he must sell for what he can get,
for the commodity is a perishable one
and must be sold.
Manufacturers Profit on 1y.Produets.
However, there is another hitch to
the packing business, quite as little
understood apparently, that goes to
show how a loss on fresh meats may
be accompanied by a profit IN the to-
tai amount of business done Take,
for example, the banjo strings afore-
mentioned, which are made from the
intestines of sheep. The department
that makes banjo strings (and like
wise surgical ligatures, tennis strings,
etc., 'buys" the intestines from the
sheep-killing department, paying ex-
actly the same price that these bring
when sold to the outside market. On
this basis the string department manu-
features Its strings and sells them,
bringing a profit into the business.
In like manner the fertilizer depart
ment buys bl cd and tankage; the soap
department buys fats the glue depart
ment huvs hoofs. horns. bones GDt

For example, the League will eStaD-
lish an international organization for
the lettering Of labor conditions in
different countries, for the protection
of women and children and the native
inhabitants Of civilized and semi-civil-
ICED countries. One of Germany's
greatest crimes has been her barba-
rous treatment of the helpless people
in some Of her colonies. One Of the
chief tasks Of the League will be to
look after peoples that are not strong
enough to protect themselves.
The League will appoint commits
sions to take charge Of various inter-
national undertakings SO that they
may be carried on, not for the benefit
Of any n nation, but for the benefit
Of the whole world. Provision will be
made for promotion of fair and equal
trade conditions.
These are only a few Of the benefits
the world will derive from the League.
AS time goes on we shall find more
and more tasks at which the nations
can work in common and q greater
number of opportunities to remove
causes which stir up 5aalousies and
animosities between races and peoples.
