5f ALINES. Belgium. Nov. 27.
(Havas.) Forty-nine Belgian priests
were tortured and put to death by
the Germans during the occupation,
Cardinal Mercler. the primate of Bel
gium, declared in an Interview today.
The cardinal related that in the early
stages of unrestricted German sub-marina-
warfare, the Marquis of Vllla-
lobar, the Spanish Minister to eel
glum, called on the German Governor
General In Brussels and asked him to
intervene with Berlin to limit the sub.
marine warfare to the belligerents.
The Spanish Minister gave the Gov
ernor this advice:
"The Americans are exasperated and
are on the verge of Joining the allies,
which will mean the . defeat of the
central empires."
"VTe have no fear of the Americans,
who will never 'be able to help the
allies." the Governor-General replied
haughtily, the cardinal said. "An
army cannot be raised in ' a few
months. Three years at least will be
necessary for them, and France and
her modest ally, the British, will be
crushed long before that."

Nevertheless the Mess Sergeants
have assured the officers and men that

Everybody figures that things could

did he actually complain.
"In the armistice there is a clause
providing for supply of food to Ger

An International Service Built
on Tiny Prof its Per Pound
Some industries have been able to get in step with war demands
more quickly than others.
In many cases mighty plants have . sprung up but at a prodig-.
ious cost.
The packing industry was able to adapt itself to unheard ol
demand? more quickly, perhaps, than any other industry. And this
was because the vast equipment of packing plants, refrigerator cars,
branch houses, etc., had been gradually developed to its present state of
efficiency, so that in the crucial hour it became a mighty international
system for war service.
And how had this development taken place ?
.. . Not by making vast inroads into the capital wealth of the country;
but largely by using, from year to year, a portion of the profits, to pro-'
ivide for expansion.
Swift & Company's profits have always been so tiny, compared
with sales, that they have had practically no effect on the price of
meat, (amounting to only a fraction of a cent per pound)
And yet the owners of the business have been content with
reasonable returns on their capital, and have been able, year after year,
to put part of the. profits back into the business to provide for its
expansion.
These fractions of tiny profits have been repaid to the public many
fold in the form of better service, and better and cheaper meat, and
made it possible for Swift & Company to meet, undaunted, the sud
den cry for meat for overseas."
Could any other method of financing a" vital industry involve less
hardship to the people of the country ? Could there be a better instance
of true "profit-sharing" than this return in added usefulness and in
national preparedness?
