LONOON, July 2. The comman
der of the destroyer Lysuuder, which
rescued the captain of the Llan
dovery Castle and those In his boat,
describing the rescue today, said:
When the survivors were picked
up they cheered, altho they had been
drifting for 36 hours, and had for
sustenance only ship's -biscuits and
water. . They were wonderfully
amused at an incident, in which the
captain figured. When he was cer
tain the vessel was sinking. Captain
Sylvester made a dash for his cabin
and brought out a pipe and a tin of
tobacco. Each man, in turn, had
pull at the pipe, but tobacco was of
because It got water-
soaked." i
When last seen the submarine was
apparently, shelling in the darkness
one of the seven boats. One 'boat. In
which there were 12 nursing sisters
was seen to capsize.
"The sisters were thrown out and
were euner drowned directly or
caught beneath tho boat. A Cana
dian sergeant, who was in the same
boat, managed to crawl on the keel
Nothing has been seen of the other
sisters.
The submarino steamed swiftly
toward tha captain's boat, contain
ing the survivors, and passed just
astern. Originally such a maneuver
would disturb ' the water so as to
make the capsizing of a small boat
almost a certainty. This boat, how
ever, kept on her keel.
The commander of the Lysander,
describing some incidents, said: .
'The captain was 'badly 'bruised
When the overturned boat got near
the submarine, the sergeant climbed
aboard exhausted. He was seized by
one of the submarine officers and
thrown back like a handbag."

CHICAGO, July 2. Louis F. Swift
president of Swift and company, to
duy telegraphed a formal protest to
the federal trade commission on the
report made public Saturday regard
lug the profits made by his concern
Tho telegram follows:
swift und company protests
ngalnst certain unwarranted Stat
ments in the report Issued by tho
federal trudo commission on war pro
fits in that It gives the public a false
conclusion against tho profits and
tho conduct of the packing business
bwirt and company can justify Its
profits as not only reasonable but
necessary for the successful conduct
of the business to finance large in
ventories at high prices, and to ex
pand facilities at Increasing costs.
1 tallies Serious Chin-go
The report states that the five
large packers have a monopoly ol
tho meat Industry and manipulate
the market without regard to law.
This is a serious charge, unsupport
ed by the facts. Swift and company
is in competition with all other pack
ers, has no control over nrlces and
the policy of the company is to obey
the law.
'Packers' profits are unjustly ex
aggerated by the statement that four
large packers made a profit of one
hundred and forty million dollars
during the three war years as against
an average annual profit of $19,000,-
for the throo years before tho

profit with a one-year profit, and the
nineteen million dollars should have
been $57,000,000 to make the com
parison just.
Profit .1c on Hollar, Claim
'It would be fair to the Industry
If the report had staled tht thu
$140.000,00a'profit of four lange
packers was earned on sales of near
ly five billion dollars and amounted
to only about three cents on each
dollar of sales. This profit amounts
to only a fraction of a cent a pound
on nil products sold. In view of these
facts the packers cannot .be justly
accused of having 'preyed upon the
public unconscionably.'
The report should have explained
this and that It covered transactions
prior to Nov. 19, 1917. Since that
time our profit has been limited lv
the food administration to nino per
cent on capital employed in the meat
business, equal to about two cents
on each dollar of sales. The imnres-
slon has gone broadcast that license
control has been flouted by tho pack
-ia. owut ana comnanv lino t n

regulations of the food admlnistra
lion, both as regards the handling
and marketing of food products and
also as to profits."
