Armentieres Was Not Far
Within the Bitish Lines In
Belgium
(United Press staff correspondent)
By W. Ot. SLepherd
Chicago. April 11. Armentieres,
evacuated by the Br.tish and said to
be a heap of ruins, v.as not far within
the British lines.
When I visited the place the first
time I was puzzled by seeing banners
strung across me tircets in the style
of election day I aimers or "liberty
loan" streamers. The banners, how
ever, bore no me toes. They were so
grimy with dirt that my curiosity was
aroused. The Briiish. ofi'icers toid me
that they had taken h'ge strips of
white cloth and painted tho .i with
mud and strung them moss the streets
to keep the O rmans in U.o near by
trenehes from seeing whet was going
on in the streets oi the town.
One nt the r.iost n lcd of the British
bath houses v.as .;U-..ited at Armen-
tierca. It was a converted linen factory-
One of tb-1 :-i hts iu this bath
house, which r";is nee shown to the
Prineo of Vfrirt n a visit, was a kha
ki woolen shirt carefully framed un
der glass. It was dotted with the maris
ox uuuurous uj. uyujr iiuu uou was
known in soldier parlance as "the
lousiest shirt in the army." It was re
moved from the first man who eve
bathed in the linen factory. He was a

Mons, was forced to go for a month
without changing his clothes or bath,-

"Professor" Anderson
Negotiated for Peace
Washington. April 11. Reported
peace negotiations between a "J jo
lessor" Anderson of Washington, rep
reselling the United States, and
Counts Andrassy and Tisz-a in Vienna
and Budapest, created a stir in offi
cial and diplomatic, circles hero today,
Tho professor, however, was not avail
aolo and nis identity was not estab
lished-
It was stated officially at the state
department that "Professor Anderson
was not known there, and further
that nothing was known of tho inci
dent referred to in the. dispatch.
Professor I. Chauneey Anderson,
connected with tho war trade board,
was the only "Professor Anderson
known to bo hero and he said he
hadn't been in Europe and knew noth
ing of the reported negotiations.
Chnndler P. Andorsor;, formerly coun
sellor of the stato .department, has
been legal adviser of 'the department
in tho last year, but Jie' has not been
in Kurope lor two years, lie is now
employed by the council of national de
fense. Tho department stated recoutly no
"official" peace negotiations had
boon undertaken, "though everybody"
coming back from Kurope had peace
talk of one sort another. This was tak
en to indicate that some Austrian feel
ers had been received through sourc
es not strictly connected with tho gov
ernment, though still perhaps in a po
sition to talk authoritatively.

Meat Is as Necessary
as Steel and Ships
Food is the first essential of the fight
ing forces.
The American farmer and the packer
have met every war emergency, and have
promptly furnished an adequate supply
of wholesome meat.
No other industry can claim a better
record" of war time efficiency.
Swift & Company has shipped to the
United States Government and the Allied
Nations, m
Over 12,000, 000. Pounds (400 carloads)
per week, of beef, pork, and lard, since
January 1, 1918.
In one.week recently we shipped
24,000,000 Pounds (800 carloads),

Our profits are limited by the Food Adminis
tration to 9 per cent on investment in the meat
