Hun Orgies Continue
The enemy shows no signs of ceas
ing his orgies of looting. Every town
the British ha,ve captured has been
pillaged. Usually the Huns break up
and destroy whatever they are un
able to carry off.
There are further signs that the
Germans either are carrying out or
are on the verge of beginning a re
treat from the Scheldt line as the
British advance north of Valencien
nes out in the direction of Mons and
Maulieuge. They are less than IS
miles from Mons and about fifteen
from Jlaubeuge.
Alsatians After Kaiser
There was sharp fighting at Bnn-j
sies before all the Germans remain
ing In the town were subdued. As
the enemy retreated he exploded
mines under roads and railways.
Many Alsatians have been captur
ed. A large number of these ex
pressed a desire to Join the French
rrmy. saying they had been dragged
into the Gorman army against their
will and desired more than anything
else to fight the emperor's forces.
In the advance Wednesday the
Dritish captured some brand new 4.2

Holding the Metz-Thionvillc gate

would enuhlo the allied forces not
only to dominate the German forces
on the front, but would give an open
road to Germany should a resump
tion of hostilities bo threatened.
It is believed the allied chiefs will
choose a different plan for the rear
ward movement of the German foivfa
under which the enemy's nrmlcs
would successively retire. The. plan
marked out, It Is thought, would pro
vide for exposure of the German

Thus President ViIou has ivn
in advance his own tinal dc-i-inn in

allies their pleas for an armistice and
peaec negotiations.
The jireidents replv to the latest
German note has nn on its wav to
I'eriin. It was delivered to Freder
ick Oberlin. the Swiss charge here,
last niiilit at !l n'ebick and soon af
terward was on the eabb's in plain
Kmrlish. Apparently the exchanges
which hud been in progress between
Washington and the allied capitals
terminated late in the afternoon, en
abling the president to replv iust 11
hours after the official text had been
delivered.

surrender and not peace negotiation
must be demanded.
Wlulc this ultimatum is si. Jan
home in Germany, the allied i:oviV.'n
nients will be preparing for li;e l.ext
move, which lies with them acting in
harmonv with the Tinted Sute-.
First there is to be determined, as lb:
president aks, whether the nW11 are

military machine powerless for barn,
have been formulated, the proi'ian
will be forwarded to Itertin.
On1 point that those in the eonfj

the German authorities. The whole
situation is before the eo-bellitreren'

and the Swift
What would ycu consumers think cf a wheel with
out spokes?
What would jrou think cf a man who would take any
or all of the spokes out of a wheel to make it run better?
Swift & Company's business of getting fresh meat to
you is a wheel, of which tho packing plant is only the
hub. Retail dealers are the rim and Swift & Company
Branch Houses aro tho spokes.
The hub wouldn't do the wheel much goodand yo
wouldn't have much use for hub or rim if it weren't for
the spokes that fit their, ail together to make a wheel of it.
Swift & Company Branch Houses are placed, after
thorough investigation, in centers where they can be
successfully operated and do the most good for the most
people at tho least possible cost.
Each "spoke" in ch?.r;o oi: a man who knows that
he is there to keep you supplied at all times with meat,
sweet and fresh; and who knows that if he doesn't do it,
his competitor will.
Hew much good would the hub and the rim of the
Swift "wheel" do you if the spokes were done away with?
