The British premier admitted news from Kussia was 'disquieting,'1 but he declared his complete confidence that Kussicn! loaders would "repair the machine now under fire." Lloyd George spoke in accepting the J freedom ot the city. "German attempts to sow dissension among the allies on the east? and west failed,' he declared emphatically. Germany only decided to invade "Rus sia with the sword because her other methods failed. The Russian revolution postpones an allied victory. We had expected an earlier recovery but wo must be pa tient. "We are less concerned of the effect of a Russian failure on the war than with its effect on the world's democ racy. , " Kussia. 's leaders are now repairing their machine under fire. I am confi dent they will succeed." The premier reiterated this ofe-ex-pressed defiance of the German subma rine campaign. "I am absolutely con vinced," he declared with emphasis, "that the submarines will never be able to beat down the empire's strength, nor the allies' hopes." "Germany boasts of her victories in the east against no resistance but the allies' success on the west, especial ly that of the Italians, is an effectual reply," the premier continued. Contrary to general expectation, Lloyd-George did not discuss the allies war aims. His speech had been gener ally reported as prepared with this view.

Ogden Armour, multi-millionaire packer, says that moat prices will bo reduced only "when the buying public permits the retailer to dispense with frequent and costly de liveries and consumers pay their bills promptly. ' ' "Meat price increases are not duo to big profits, so far as the meat purvey ors are concerned," declares Armour in an article iu Colliers Weekly of Sep tember 15. "It is a fact that the fresh meat from the Bteer or hog or sheep is sold by the packers to the retailer at a figure whic often fails to pay for the animal on hoof. "The profits wich enable the packer to handle meat at less than cost are due to the utilization of thoso portions of the animal which until recent years were wasted or destroyed. "When the buying public permit the retailer to dispense with frequent and costly deliveries, when consumers pay their brlls promptly so the merchant can meet his obligations before having to pay interest, when the quick mov ing advertised and standardized foods crowd the slow moving stuff off the shelves, and when the number of stores is limited to a point which will permit of a big business being done by each then and not till then will the re tailer be able to pass meat and other foods along to the consumer at a price which will not seem high when com pared with the wholesale price."
