WIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BLANCHES IH ALL THE PF'NCIPAL CITIES HARLKY VIEWS THE ANIMALS F. C. Harley, mayor of Astoria and booster for the raciflc coast, in so far as the coast means Astoria and vicinity at least, is tn Washing ton, and has been viewing the ani mals at the national capital, as he would perhaps state It He has discovered what many of ns have known for years, and that is that a large number of house and senate committees exist in name only, for the apparent purpose of getting more clerks and other ap purtenances that are given com mittee members. He has also found that the entire delegation from Oregon la not get ting what a bunch of able men should get In the way of develop, ment and other appropriations for the state which sends them thore. The most striking case is that of the chairman of the committee on military affairs, who is the senior 1 senator from Oregon. Cantonments, military bnsos and other military moneys are being ex pended by the billons, everywhere but In Oreuon, and the drfunscs on the Columbia are not as strong as they should be, which is not a mili tary socrot, but a well known fact. This is not the only case of lack of application to committee y oppor tunities, but perhaps the most strik ing one. More strength to Harley. Would that more fire be added to his elo quence, more virility to his pen, and that more men of his ability get behind the delegation tn Washington to assist them in getting mora of the things for which we pay, and to which wo are entitled. w. s. s. GERMAN KVLTIR NOT A NEW TIIIMi. "Every village they have passed through has been the victim of what is only organised pillage. Every city has been practically sacked, ran sacked on system; Its cltixens plun dered, its civil officials terrorised, imprisoned, outraged or killed. The civil populations have been, contrary to the usage of modern warfare, forced to serve the invading armies, brutally put to death, reduced to wholesale starvation, and desolation. Vast tracts of the richest and moat industrious districts of Europe have been deliberately stripped aifO plunged into famine, solely In order that the Invaders might make war cheaply. Irregular troops, contrary to all the practice of war, have been ; systematically murdered, and civil i populations indiscriminately massa cred, solely to spread terror. A regular system of ingenious terror- To The American People There u no foundation for the alleged violations of law attributed to our Com pany by agents of the Federal Trade Commission and I want to say emphatic ally that Swift & Company is not a party to any conspiracy to defraud the Govern ment Nor has Swift & Company been , guilty of improperly storing foods or of making false entries or reports. Conferences of packers, where prices have been discussed, have been held at the urgent request and in the presence of representatives of either the Food Administration or the Council of National Defense. And yet the packers have been accused of committing a felony by acting in collusion on Government bids I We have done our best, with other packers, large and small, to comply with the directions of the United States Food Administration in all particulars, including the furnishing of food supplies for the U. S. x Army and Navy and the Allies, now be ing handled through the Food Adminis tration. We will continue to do our utmos thun der Government direction, to increase our production and assist the Food Adminis tration. We consider that me opportunity to co-operate whole-heartedly and to our fullest powers with this branch of the Government is our plain and most press ing duty. The Trade Commission Attorney has, by false inference and misplaced empha sis, given to disconnected portions of the correspondence taken from our private files and read into the Record, a false and sinister meaning with the plain purpose of creating antagonistic public opinion. The services of the packers of the United States are most urgently needed, and I regret exceedingly that we should at this time have to spend our efforts in defending ourselves against unfounded, unproved, and unfair assertions such as are being daily made public QjlZ President Swift & Cc.npany,U.S.A. f Ism has been directed against civil ians, as horrible as anything In the history of civil or religious wars. Large and populous cities have been, not once, but 20, SO, 40 times, bom barded and burnt, and the women and children tn thorn wantonly slaughtered, with the sole ohjoot of Inflicting suffering. All this has been done not In license or pusslon. but by the calculating ferocity of scientific soldiers." The above was .not written, though it might have been yester day, last week, last month, or last year. It appeared In the Engliah Fortnightly Review February, 1S7I. shortly before the surrender of Paris. Frederick Harrison, the writer, ts still alive. Its statements wers true then, are true now. Julius Caesar In his Commentaries, nar rates events which show that even before the time of Christ the Ger mans demonstrated the possession of all the rudiments of their modern "kultur." It Is no new thing; and hundreds of thousands of men will have died In vain In this war it this sinister thing ts not absolutely and utterly exterminated forever by the forces of civilisation arrayed against It. v w. s. s.

The facts are these: 1- tTKir-rn m We cannot go on living as we did before the war. We cannot have the comforts and luxuries we used to have. Do not be misled by the fact that we can raise armies far outnumbering those of our enemy. Our soldiers cannot fight with bare hands and empty stomachs, and we cannot arm and feed them if we go on consuming vast quantities of foods and goods we don't need if we demand, for our selfish comfort, the labor of thous ands of men who ought to be hustling night and day to supply the ships, aero planes, guns, ammunition, motor trucks, clothing ana food our soldiers must have if we are to win this war. Our country needs the money you thought lessly spend for unnecessary things. It needs desperately needs the labor em ployed in making these things, Hegin to save nuN Save everything you can.
