BY LUCIAN b. WATKINS.

Patience to bear our cross,

Smiles for our direst loss,
Sense for our gains;
Though We be held in bars
Hard and unllind,

When there are foes to meet
Teach us the way;
When there are friends to greet
Hasten the day;
Where there arc bells Of sin
Raise us above;
Where there are heavens to win
Lift us with love-
All that is great and good,

WOULD ELIMINATE
 . BIG PACKERS FROM !. THE MEAT INDUSTRY
Representative Live Stock Growers Would Substi- ute Small Cooperative
 Stockyards
By A.,scIatss Press

Washington. March 2.-Virtual elimina- ton of the big packers from the meat in-
 dustry and substitution of small local and cooperative stock yards and slaughter houses was suggested today by Ed c, Lassater of Texas, repfesentirg live
 stock growing organizations, before the
 House agriculture committee.
 The packing business now Is uneco-
 nomical, Mir. Lassater asserted, causing
 ir1ury both to livestock producers and
 consumers. Transportation of cattle to
 the packing centers and return shipment
 of meat to consumers involves an eco
 rcmic loss, he said, which can be elimi- mated only by legislation to reduce con
 trol of the big packers and to foster small cooperative agencies widely dis tributed. Lassater also urged separation of large stock wards from packers control. The yards. he said should not be owned by d holding company but by the railroads as a transportation adjunct.
 Independent stock yards and slaugh- tering plants cannot be developed. MT I4assater said so long as Congress per mits the large packers to have such q preponderent share of business. Mere 1 size of the freight the big packers have ] to distribute the witness declared, ob l tained for the packers special favors iron 1 the railroads sufficient to shut off sue cessful competition.
 | Mir Lsssater opposed ownerthip of re 1 frigerator cars by the packers who, h' said, also should be divested Of all in 1 terest in cattle loan companies.

 maiden speech today. Senator Glass.
 democrat. Virginia, protested against what he claimed to be efforts on the part of some senators to place the re sponsibility on the treasury depart
 nent for delay in completing the new
 Speedway hospital at Chicago. Thg former Secretary of the Treasury D clared that to complete the hospity at
 the estimated cost of sS.O00.oo0 ould
 be to erect "a perpetual eyesore and a disgrace to the nation"
 The senator attacked an amendment
 to the second deficiency bill, contained
 in the conference. which report would
 add s4Oo,e0o to the ss.ooo,ooo already
 appropriated, and declared the action, if approved by the Senate, would vir-
 tually make a gift of $550,000 to the

.JUGO-SLAV REPLY ID ULT|MATUM IS GIVEN ID PUBLIC
Strictly Adhere to Ameri- can, French and Brit ish Agreement of
 December 9
By Associated prsss

Washington, March 2-Strict adherence
 to the American. French and British
 agreement of December 9. on the Adriatic
 question, characterizes the reply of Janu- ary 20 of the Jugo- Slav government to the
 French and British "ult,matum' of Janu- ary 14.
 The Jugo-Slav note, which was made
 public today by tho state department
 raises many of the same objections as
 set forth in President Wilson's note oi
 January 19 protesting against the over turning of the previously agreed solution of the problem.
 The single inslstent difference whies distinguishes the point of view of the
 Jugo-S reply from that of the agree. inent signed by Secretary Folk. on behalf of the United States. December 9. is over I the cession to Italy O. the Island oi | Iiassa, which, according to Jugo-Slavia l Ifs purely Slav and from an economis point of view indissoluby united with l Dalmatia.

CHANGED ATTITUDE TOWARD GERMANY
 VERY NOTICEABLE
Peace Conference of Opin- ion Germany Ruined Would Mean Weak
 Spot In Europe
By Associated Press

London, March "A noteworthy phase of the meeting Of the peace conference is the changed attitude toward Germany. In conference has come to recognize that Germany ruined would mean a weak spot and a dangerous spot in Europe.
 Great Britain. and personally Premier Lloyd George, are credited with being the chief forces in bringing about this policy.
 The French peace delegation is de- scribed as moving toward this point Of view reluctantly, although it is moving. It is asserted the French are less i'm. movable than when M. Clemenceau was at the helm of state. How to set Germany on her feet is one of the largest questions the conference is now considering 1t IS considered probable it will sanction an in ternational loan to Germany, but the question of security is a basic. one
 It is expected plan will be arranged which will offer inducements to the ricn,
 smaller, neutral countries to subscribe to loan. Even England her representa- tives believe will contr- bute, officially or unofficially, although Engiands financial commitments of various sorts arising from the war are greater than those ol any other nation One O. the American
 conferees expressed the opinion today
 perhaps German sympathizers in America at least will come forward with subscrlp- tions.
 The question of finally fixing Germany 2
 war indemnties at specific sum aisu is being discussed. Belief is expressed the German government can organize us finances and industries more efficiently If the German people know exactly what are their obligations and what they are to be called upon to pay. This question was one left by the treaty to the repara- tions commissin. but the present ide' seems to be that the conference propapb will take 1t out of the hands of the com mission
 The purchase and allotment of raw ma terials and of food. winch the conference is considering and on wlich the neces- sity for a joint arrangement Is recog- rized may involve consideration for for- mer enemy countries. They probably VII 1 be given a fair share |; the distribution 1 in accordance with tho new policy o' putting them on :heir feet.
 1 The paace conference is reaching its ! decisions more slowly than othefwist wo,ld he the case because of the differ- 1 ences of language. The proceedings ars
 heinz conducted in three langnases--ins'
 ligh French and Italian There are n ! members of the conference who nnder stand all three languages and few whs i understand even two perfectly. This in 1 wolves Interpreting and reinterpretin' everything said at the council table. Ever then it develops at the next days mees' ling that one delegation did not under stand clearly the precise attitude Of an other delegation.
