(By the Associated Press.) The abdication and subsequent flight of the German Emperor was received without elation or enthusiasm but the news ot the unconditional acceptance of Mar shal Koch's conditions was greeted by the people and the soldiers with relief and satisfaction. Civilian Feeling Bitter. The civilian population is more bit ter toward the Germans than are the Boldiers who fought the enemy to a standstill. Terms of hate and execra tion are heard among civilians, while the soldiers grin and say "the war i3 over." GHENT. Nov. 11. Citizens of Ghent, without distinction as to nationality, have greeted the allied troops as lib erators. They relate the same stories of martyrdom that are current in every city delivered from the Germans. "WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE. Nov. 11. (By the Associated Press.)

HIS BACKACHE COMi More men have kidney trouble than are aware of it. Just how serious a backache, sore muscles, aching joints, rheumatism, swollen ankles and blur ring vision may be is sometimes real ized only when a man attempts to take out life insurance and is refused on account of kidney trouble. Joseph G. MVolf, 734 So. Jackson St., Green Bay, "Wis., writes: "Foley Kidney Pills re lieved me of a severe backache that had bothered me for several months." Any symptom of kidney trouble deserves attention. Adv. the armistice were general today and tonight over the entire front held by the .French troops. The demonstrations were participated in by soldiers and citizens in liberated villages. At Chlmay war correspondents pass ing through the town were taken for allied army officers and were drawn into the processions and compelled to join in the singing of the allied na tional anthems. "For four years we have waited for this day," the people shouted. "Just think of it, the Germans have gone. Chlmay will never see another day like this." Crowds gathered in front of the French Colonel's headquarters and joined hands, danced, sang and cheered the French. British and Americans in turn. Hidden stores came forth from most unsuspected places as the re joicing went oil Knvori See Fireworks Fireworks displays went on all night long. They were witnessed from a convoy of seven powerful motor cars that made a halt at Guise about 8 o'clock in the evening to replenish the gasoline reservoirs. In the lead of this convoy and in the rear were French cars, while the other cars bore on their sides the imperial black eagle. At the sight of this un mistakable mark of identity crowds of French eoldiers gathered around the convoys to get a sight of the German envoys who a few hours before had signed the document that released them from their hard work of war. Only the younger officers alighted in the mud during the replenishing operations. The gathering crowd watched the other cars in order to catch a sight of the notable members of the party, but in vain. Not a shout or even a loud remark was heard from the crowd of onlookers. The incident passed in such grave quiet on the part of the French that the low conversation of the German officers gathered around the cars was audible. When the big machines rolled away in the mist toward Belgium, the throng broke up without once having lacked consideration for the represen tatives of the fallen power. TOKIO, Nov. 13. (By the Associated Press.) Announcement of Germany's capitulation resulted in general re joicing throughout Japan. Premier Hara issued a statement in which he paid special tribute to the American people, "whose unselfish and well-timed Intervention, so brilliantly performed, must have convinced the enemy that the struggle was hopeless." The Premier said that Japan was proud to think that to the measure of her capacity she did her part. An era of friendly co-operation which would make the world a happier place and one worthy of the heroism that brought victory is beginning, he declared. WILSON MAY ATTEND PEACE COIEKE President Said to Have Open Mind on Subject. S0LFS MOTIVE SUSPECTED Pica for Preliminary Farley Slay Have Been Made In Interest of German Foreign Trade. BOLSHEVISM NOT FEARED REACTIOX AND DISCORD LIKE LY, SAYS PREMIER. Lloyd Gorge Outlines Reconstruction Policy; Minimum Wage to Be Established. LONDON, Nov. 13. At a meeting of 200 leading coalition liberal peers and commoners today. Premier Lloyd George outlined his reconstruction policy, say ing the victory must be utilised as an impetus to reforms. A great re-housing programme was necessary, he said; the hours of labor must be reduced; a minimum wage introduced, and pro duction increased through land reform. The Prime Minister foreshadowed a large development in transport and said there was value in the prevailing revo lutionary spirit if wisely directed. It must be combatted by national unity, co-operation and sacrifice. He said he feared neither revolution nor Bolshev ism, but he did fear reaction and dis sension. Mere party considerations were unseemly, he said, adding he wanted a united government represent ing all parties. In regard to free trade, Mr. Lloyd George said he did not propose to go as far as the Paris resolutions. The third of President Wilson's points, he contended, prevented an idea of an eco nomic war. Irish home rule was essential, he de clared, but there must be no coercion of Northern Ulster. "One of the principal issues at the forthcoming general election will be the nature of the peace settlement. It will mean the settlement of the world." Premier Lloyd-George made this an nouncement in an address to his Liberal supporters on November 11. "The peace of 1S71 imposed by Ger many on France outraged all the prin ciples of Justice and fair play. Let us be warned by that example. We must not allow any sense of revenge, any spirit of greed, any grasp ing desire to override the fundamental principles of righteousness. Vigorous attempts will be made to hector and bully the government In an endeavor to make them depart from the strict principles of right and to satisfy some base, sordid, squalid ideas of vengeance and of avarice. We must relentlessly set our faces against that. "We shall go to the peace conference to guarantee that a league of nations is a reality. I am one of those who believe that without peace we cannot have progress. A league of nations guarantees peace and guarantees also an all-around reduction of armaments. and that reduction of armaments is a guarantee that you can get rid of conscription here." EUROPE QUAKES AT REDS (Continued From First Twz.) great industrial unrest and unemploy ment in Switzerland, due to general world conditions, and intensified by odr general location," Minister Sulxer said. "The Russian Bolshevik government, though not recognized, has had a rep resentative in the country, who was tolerated on his agreement to refrain from propaganda against our demo cratic form of government. This prom ise he did not keep, but instead en gaged more or less openly in agitation. Recall of Troops Demanded. "Affairs culminated when the Swiss government ordered troops into Zurich to maintain order, which was done last week. "The Socialist committee, which con trols the central labor organization, or dered the government to remove the soldiers or face a general strike, to begin Sunday. Naturally, my govern ment would not be dictated to in any such fashion. The strike followed. "The Swiss Parliament has now been called to meet immediately. I am without information as to the develop ments since, but I believe that the strike has either failed or will do so very shortly, since it cannot hope for the general support of tho Swiss." The Bolshevist mission to Switzer land refused to leave in accordance with orders given it by the Swiss gov ernment, and was expelled by military force, according to diplomatic dis patches received today. Eight Regiments on Dnty. Kight regiments of soldiers wen called out in Zurich on account of the unrest. In the past, Mr. Sulzcr ex plained, revolutionary socialism had never been prevalent In Switzerland, owing to the thoroughly democratic character of its institutions and tradi tions, but since the war, the prolonged scarcity of food, continued mobiliza tion of the army and sporadic unem ployment in some industries contrast ing with high but uncertain wages in munition plants, had unsettled labor conditions. WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. President Wilson was said today to have given no Indication as to how he regards the suggestion from high sources in Europe that he attend the great conference which Is to re-establish the peace of the war-worn world. Most of the President's advisers, how ever, are understood to consider that acceptance of the invitations would In volve needless risk and would serve no purpose that could not be accomplished through fhe delegates who will be ap pointed to represent the American Government and who will be In con stant communication with Washington. Should the President decide to attend the conference and some of those usu- ally well informed say he has an open iiiuiu on ine suojeci mat lact wouta not mean, in the belief here, that Sec retary Lansing would not be a member of the American delegation. Lansing to Do Heavy Work. It was said that upon Mr. Lansing would fall much of the weight of the heavy tasks connected with American participation In the conference, not only by virtue of his high rank, but because of his wide experience in other Inter national conferences and arbitrations. The proposal of Or. Solf. German For eign Secretary, for a preliminary peace conference has not reached Washing ton in official form tonight, but it is understood there is little probability of its acceptance. Such a conference is regarded here as unnecessary and as likely to compli cate uselessly the work of the general conference. Ostensibly Dr. Solfs proposal Is based on the urgent need of Germany for food and other supplies, but it is point ed out that these conditions will be dealt with by the United Suites and the allies in advance of the peace con ference under the general pledge con tained in the armistice and given by the supreme war council at Versailles. Lansing; Reassures Germany. Further assurance on this subject is given the German government by Sec retary Lansing, who in a note handed today to the Swiss Minister in reply to one from Frederlnh Ebert. the German Chancellor, said the President Is ready to consider favorably the supplying of foodstuffs to Germany and to take up the matter with the allied govern ments upon assurances that public or der will be maintained in Germany and an equitable distribution of the food is guaranteed. , In some quarters here, it is suspected that Dr. Solfs real purpose is to have the preliminary conference dispose of political matters, such as the future of the German colonies and trade rela tions between the central powers and the nations with which they had been at war, in the hope of being able thus speedily to re-establish German foreign trade. All Trade Treaties Gene. All the old treaties of amity and commerce under which international trade have been conducted between the warring nations have been destroyed by the war and a whole new fabric of trade treaties must be provided. The peace conference may signify its ideas as to how this shall be framed, but it will remain for the Individual nations to give these Ideas concrete form in special treaties. The supreme war council In Versailles did more than consider the subject of armistice. It Is learned now that for a long time preceding the final collapse of the central powers much study and attention was given to the subject ot final peace in all its ramifications. Therefore, when the peace conference meets, it will find before It a fairly well digested programme for the conduct of its business, calculated to keep the ses sions well within bounds, nut only in the matter of expenditure of time, but also in the range of subjects to be dis cussed. . uH-Comm it tee to Act. Owing to the number of questions to be considered and the amount of origi nal investigation required to arrange final settlements of many of them, it Is expected that soon after convening the peace conference will divide the dele gates into a number of sub-committees to deal with different branches of the work, and it is regarded here as certain that it will provide for the appoint ment of permanent commissions to sit after final adjustment of the conference to perform the score of things that must be done to set the commercial and economic machinery of the world at work again. A long time, not months, but years, will be required to readjust this ma chinery. One high official said today it was a safe rule based on history to assume it would require twice as much time to get out of the war as it did to go through with it. BASEL. Nov. 12. The Socialist Vor waerts, of Berlin, describes the Ger man armistice as "terrible" and adds: "Since the old regime has collapsed, the new government must accept the conditions and excute them loyally. The treaties have been signed and must be executed. It will be the task of the new government to conclude rapid ly the best peace possible.". COPEN1IAGKN, Tuesday. Nov. 1". The new Bavarian government has sent a message to President Wilson through Switzerland expressing its fears that the armistice terms will bring chaos to the disordered young republic and re questing that Great Britain, France and Italy be asked to punish the guilty. No Merry for Autocracy. The message adds that the German autocracy and military party do not deserve mercy. LONDON. Nov. 13. The allied high command has Kent to the German high command by French wireless a mes sage that there can be no modification of the conditions of the armistice, in cluding the annexes, at this time. The message reads: "At present no modification can be made to the conditions indicated by the texts, including the annexes, at the same time ot the signing of the armistice. "A supplementary period of 24 hours for the evacuation of Belgium, Luxemburg and Alsace-Lorraine has been added to the period of delay of 14 days stipulated by the original text so as to permit the definite text ar riving at the desired time at German headquarters." FAHIS. Nov. 13. (Havas.) The Ger man delegates to the. armistice nego tiations have issued a statement as serting that a brief delay in the evacu ation of occupied territory and de livering of rolling stock is indispensa ble. - They declare that to withdraw the troops and deliver the rolling stock Immediately would render the execu tion of the armistice impossible. The German command has asked the French government by wireless to re quest the population of Alsace-Lorraine to remain calm during the German re tirement. The measage adds that the population. Is hostile toward the Ger man troops. Tremler Clemeneeau. In concluding his speech In the Chamber of Deputies on the armistice terms, said: "Germany has waited until the last minute, and when she was exhausted she has been obliged to accept capitu lation. In the first hour we must come to her aid. We do not want war against humanity, but for humanity." PARIS, Nov. IS. (Havas.) Holland has consented to carry on the work of repatriating allied prisoners of war now held In Germany. GERMANS BALK AT PLANS fontlnned tram Klrat Pace.) rumors current In Germany that the new people's government intends to annul the war loan. The newspaper says that subscrip tions to the ninth war loan have reached 10,000,000.000 marks. The Lokal Anxelger of Berlin an nounces that It has obtained the pro tection of the government against the Spartacus group, which seized ths newspaper and renamed It the "Red Banner," according to a dispatch from Berlin. The Lokal Anselger has re sumed its old title. AMSTERDAM. Nov. 13. (By tbe As sociated Press.) Berlin advices dated Sunday say that in Its outward aspects the revolution, as observed la Berlin is still In a chaotic stage. The Reichstag, which is the soldiers' and workmen's headquarters, bad been converted into an armed camp. Has tily organized and equipped squads of Ited Guards were bivouacked In tbe richly carpeted lounging corridor. Travel-stained soldiers and sailors slept close to stacked rifles or eat in luxurious aru.cbaira munching chunks ot army bread. Every inch of the floor space oftae big gilded dome building was devoted to some phase of the revolutionary or ganization committee. The rooms in which formerly reactionary campaigns were planned were similarly employed. Civilians ana Red Guards at Peace. There have been no clashes between civilians and Red Guards. The armed conflicts have been confined to the revolutionary army and officers in concealment, assisted. It Is said, by cadets and Boy Scouts. The new government strained every nerve to organise public utilities, and in this matter no complications were anticipated. Incoming trains Sunday continued to debark large detachments of soldiers, sailors and bourgeoise. Parliamentary leaders .were still absent. Independent Social Democrats in the new government have demanded ths arrest of Admiral von Tlrpitz, former Minister of the Navy; Major-General Keim. president of the German Army League; Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, president of the Fatherland party: Admiral von Holtzendorf. former chief of the naval general staff, and others, and the es tablishment of a tribunal to try all persons primarily responsible for ths continuation of the war and the hin dering of peace. This information Is contained In a Berlin dispatch to the Telegraaf. PARIS, Nov.' 12.

Ths crews of the German battleships Posen, Ostrfrlahland, Nassau and Oldenburg have Joined ths revolutionary move ment, according to a dispatch from Brunsbuttle, Prussian Holsieln.

Swift & Company has frequently stated that its profit on beef averages only one-fourth of a cent a pound, and hence has practically no effect on the price. Comparison has been made by the Federal Trade Commission of this profit with the profit on coal, and it has pointed out that anthracite coal operators are content with a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef profit of one-fourth of a cent a pound means a profit of $5.00 a ton. The comparison does not point out that anthracite coal at the seaboard is worth at wholesale about $7.00 a ton, whereas a ton of beef of fair quality is worth about $400.00 wholesale. To carry the comparison further, the 25 cent profit on coal is 3! per cent of the $7.00 value. The $5.00 profit on beef is only V4 per cent of the $400.00 value. The profit has little effect on price in either case, but has less effect on the price of beef than on the price of coal. Coal may be stored in the open air indefinitely; beef must be kept in expensive coolers because it is highly perishable and must be refrigerated. Coal is handled by the carload or ton; beef is delivered to retailers by the pound or hundred weight. Methods of handling are vastly different. Coal is handled in open cars; beef mast be shipped in refrigerator cars at an even temperature. Fairness to the public, fairness to Swift & Company, fairness to the packing industry, demands that these indisputable facts be considered. It is impossible to disprove Swift &c Company's statement, that its profits on beef are so small as to have practically no effect on prices. Swift & Company, U. S. A.
