FOODS WASTED
HELP TO KEEP
UP HIGH PRICES
Letter Shows How a Nearby
Firm Overcame
Loss

Living cost investigators, numer-
Gus editorial writer's and many stu
dents of present day distribution and
transportation problems will find q
great deal of food for thought in q
letter written by p. II. Sterner, man
ager of the Pleasant Hill Produce
Company, of Hanover, Pa, to the
local Firestone Ship by Truck Bu-
reau, 21o North Second street.
The Pleasant Hill Produce COM
pany is a firm raising and buying
foodstuffs which il ships to Phila-
delphia and Baltimore. Mr.. Ster-
ner's letter best tells the story of
gigantic waste and how they over
came the condition. We writes:
We are operating two trucks to
Philadelphia and Baltimore for the
purpose of hauling produce, We
placed these trucks in service about
year ago. We do not claim that
we can haul our goods any cheaper
than by express; but this we know,
the time we shipped by express we
had claims from $4,000 to 100000
each year. In many cases We could
only collect about so per cent. and
in fact the express company owes us
large sums of money now yet and
cannot tell when we can make set
tlement."
"The reason we haul by truck Is
this, when we start here in the eve-
ming with truck of three tons we
are sure that our goods will be in
Philadelphia the next morning, all
perishable goods, too. We have no
waste at all and can get top prices
for our goods, and in many cases
over the market"
It is evident that this Is not an
attack on express companies, but
it is also evident that means to
stop this great economic waste has
been found. 1t is pointed out that
while Mr.. Sterner may have been in
a position to bear the financial loss.
the public has been cheated Of valu-
able foodstuffs and Mt the same
time been compelled to pay high
prices for eatables through scarcity.
with this going on all over the coun-
try no estimate can be formed as to
the annual loss.
e. Farr, chief of the Firestone
Ship by Truck Bureau at Akron.
Ohio, in a recent letter to ]. H.
Dutch, manager Of the local bureau
invites attention to the fact that
report has been made public which
shows almost two million pounds OF
foodstuffs shipped into Chicago IN
1919, went to waste.
Undoubtedly an appreciate
part of this waste was due" he
writes, "to delay in transit of the
perishable foodstuffs, and this de-
lay must have resulted in most
cases from congestion and much
handling of shipments at terminals.
This waste can be eliminated, 1t
seems logical to believe, II more mo-
tor trucks are used not only in the
cities in receiving from the trunk
line railways for delivery, but also
in the country in carrying to the
trunk line railways-in other words
il the motor truck working on
schedule replaces the branch line
railways, the consumer should be
made to gain by fuller markets and
lower freight"

Moran Not Guilty Of
False Advertising

The recent case against D. ]. Nor
alt in the local courts for false ad-
vertising, which had been under fire
for almost two years was dismissed
and Moran was admitted not guilty.
The case grew out of a series of ad-
vertising which Moran used saying
that he gave Willard Service OF stor-
age Batteries. He was the official
representative of the Willard Stor-
age Battery Company here for a
couple of years. but the agency was
taken away from him. yet he con-
tinued to advertise willard Service,
which the company said he should not
do. The case in the courts was to
decide whether he could give this SER
vice.
The case was decided that while he
was not the official service station.
he could buy or sell and repair Will
lard batteries inasmuch as he had
taken a course in the Willard factory
tnd had the knt<ledge OF repairing
Willard batteries.

MUST GO
Not a Vestige of Vast Framework
Built Up in Forty Years of Prepa-
ration for World Conquest Is
to Be Left Standing.

Washington, May 10.-Army officials
here. after extended study of the
military terms of the peace treaty, are
convinced that the point at which it
is proposed to start on limitation Of
ornaments is the absolute e~xtirpation
of militarism in Germany.
Not a vestige of the vast military
framework built up in 40 years of pre-
paration for world conquest by Ger
many is to be left.
Measures have been formulated ever
to stamp ou the military spirit bred
so carefully in the people. Under the
treaty any enterprise aiming at a mill
tary propaganda is forbidden and mill
tary education canno be carried On TX
cept in the ranks of the army of 100,-
900. Such an army cannot perpetuate
itself in any way or expand through
turning trained men back to civil life
as an ~unorganiZed reserve.
This feature of the military terms
the inhibition upon discharging from
the army in any year more than 5 per
cent of its STRAIGHTFORWARD with the
l2-year enlistment period, it is said
by American army officers, will pre-
vent a recurrence of the scheme by
which Germany was once able to
throw off the yoke Napoleon sought
to impose when he limited her army
to a few thousand men each year. 1t
was apparent, these observers said,
that the lesson of that day had been
completely learned by the French mill
tarists generally credited with having
devised the terms of the present trea-
ty.
Make Army Distasteful.
The 12-year enlistment period re-
CURED, it was said, was calculated to
make the army highly distasteful to
the average man. There can be for
him no hope of advancement but only
the drudgery of soldier life, for it will
not be an expanding force. Officers
doubted very much that the 100,0 900
men allowed could be maintained az
required by voluntary recruitment.
Since the dismantliDg of the forts

and its limited army as a buffer
against the Bolsheviki in Russia.
Naval Terms Drastic.
The naval terms are if anything
more drastic than those imposed as 10
the army, navy officers said. From
a sea power claiming a strength Sec
ond only to that OF Great Britain, Ger
many will be reduced to a naval power
virtually without rank in the world.
The six battleships she may retain,
the largest not to exceed 10000 tons,
would not dare risk action with any
two modern d~readnaugbts and every
other department of the naval service
is scaled down accordingly.
The same extreme severity charac.
terizes the air terms. it was pointed
out. All that Germany has learned
of dirigible balloon building and navt
cation is to be scrapped.

Peace Delegates Divided Among
Themselves in Their Views
on Terms Received.
CHINESE OPPOSE PACT
Government at Picking l~nstructs Its
representatives Not to Sign Treaty
Because Of Decisions in Shan
tung and kiao Chau Claims.

Paris, May 10.--A Reuters state
naent says II is intimated by a high
British authority that the German
delegates to the peace conference are
considerably divided among them
selves in their views on the peace
terms submitted by the Allied and
Associated powers.
A commission win examine the
German answer and II notifications
are necessary the Germans will be no
tilted.
1t is expected that in this rejoinder
the enemy will be allowed -four or five
days to agree definitely to the whole
treaty. II is therefore probable that
fron rs to 80 days will elapse before
the pact can be finally signed.
China Forbids ENJOYS to Sign
The Chinese delegation In Paris has
received cabled instructions from Pek-
Ing not to sign the peace treaty be-
cause OF the settlement made in the
Kiao Chau and Shantung controversy
by which Japan was given German
rights on the S%hantung peninsula.
The Chinese peace conference at
Shanghai, where the northern and
southern governments are endeavor-
ing to settle their differences, has
sent similar instructions to the Paris
delegates.
This news confirms recent dis
patches from Picking that the Chinese
government would not agree to the
decision OF the council of four.
German Press Comment
Comment in the German press
seems TO indicate that Germany may
nign the treaty, but only under the
strongest protest and that the diplo-
matte efforts OF the enemy may be
concentrated upon President Wilson
meanwhile for modification of the
terms. Stress Is laid by many of the
journals or the argument that the
terms In many features are in sharp
contrast with his IA points.
French Socialist organ express
themselves as opposed to the treaty
because OF its drastic measures and a
manifesto issued by the national ex-
ecutive committee OF the British labor
party says the treaty by its terms will
cause jealousy and unrest leading to
further international disputes"
