How much do you think it costs
1. To dress beef, . cure hides, and
prepare all the numerous by
products? 2. To cool the meat for two or three
days before shipment?
3. To freight it to all parts of the
country in special refrigerator
cars, iced daily?
4. To carry it in hundreds of branch
" houses, each with its refrigerating
plant?
5. And to deliver it to the retailer
sweet and fresh in less than
two weeks after dressing?
Swift & Company did all this for you
in 1917 at an expense of less than 2
cents per pound of beef sold, including
an average profit of of a cent a pound.
Figure for yourself how little effect
this cost and profit had on prices you
paid for beef steak. .

old Somme lines, Which, became un
tenable. Owing to heavy losses which
are dwindling their army, the Germans
may find it necessary not only to re
main on tho defensive but to shorten
their line in, order to maintain a suf
ficient numper of reserves to hold even
this. In tho meantime, a comparative
lull continues- British positions have
been improved along the Somme. Else

Situation at Noon.
With the ' British Armies in the
Field, Aug. 13. (Noon.) With local
fighting proceeding at many points,
the general situation on the British
front has changed little during the
past 24 hours.
North oi the jsommo tne mgni was
I quiet, save te Eitcnham, where British
I parties captured some enemy defenses
and took some prisoners, uerumii
casualties have been rather heavy as
the result of fighting in the region of
Roye.
The enemy attacked locally during
the night in Flanders, causing some
alteration of the lines, but no details
are available. In the region of Bethune
the British advanced their lines slight
ly. ' ,
A copy of an order issued by Luden
dorff, which has been captured by the
British, reveal how. far his plans have
gone wrong. '
"We cannot win the war by stub
born defense, said the order, "but
onlv vigorous, successive attacks.
These attacks, however, cannot lead
to victory unless we stick to the improved-methods
of -warfare adopted
during the recent offensives.
"It is absolutely essential to avoid
the old fault of attacking in too dense
formations and reduce our casualties
by every possiblo moans."

; Corner Court and
Moscow. The constituent assembly, coin
posed of an overwhelming majority of
social-revolutionists and socialists of tne
Menshevik government is coming back
into power. Its first act will be an an
nouncement to the world that the shame
ful Brest-Litovsk treaty no longer ex
ists, that the revolutionary democracy
of Russia docs not recognize it. An open
invitation to the allied governments to
send an army into Russia to help reor
ganize her miltary forces for a renewed
fight on Germany will follow.
The constituent assembly and the par
ty of -the social revolutionists have al
ready expressed themselves in no anibig-.
uous terms on tho matter. They are now
waiting and working unceasingly to get
back into power, to make their action
an official call to the allied govern
ments in the name of the whole people
of Russia. -
The United States is the country most
trusted of all the allies in Russia. Am
erican help is eagerly awaited. It will
be embraced with enthusiasm -
Bolshevikism is dead. It is bankrupt
It cut Its own throat when it signed the
Brest-Litovsk peace treaty n3 w!ien it
broke, not so much with the bourgeoise
as with the revolutionary democracy it
self. Thero may be unity aand coopera
tion between the bourgeoise and the
bankrupt bolsheviki. There can never be
any cooperation between the latter and
the revolutionary democracy. And that
means the vast majority of the people of
Russia.
There is more anti-German feeling to
day than there ever was. The murder
of Count Mirbach, the representative of
German imperialism in Russia, was as
symbolic of the downfall of the brief
sway of Germany over Russia as was
the assassination of Von Pleve, of the
inevitable downfall of czarism.
Russia is coming back into the war
She is coming back to fight for the es
tablishment of a reunited independcat
mtiulilic of Russia and the democracy of
the world may prepare to welcome her
back into tho fighting.
Turn to Kerensky
Washington, Aug. 13. Kerensky, oneJ
time hero of the Russian revolution, is
being groomed as the possiblo leader to
drive out the bolsheviki and reestab
lish his country, it was indicated today.
Ho is about to go to Archangel, it is
.learned authoritatively to throw his
weight with tho new government of the
northern province. Observers in some
quarters expect an attempt to extend
this government under Kercnsky's lead
ership to all of Russia.
It is doubtful, however, just how al
lied governments would tako to Keren
sky as the new Russian leader, although
dome croups in Franco, Great Brituin
and America are working in his favor
Kerensky recently planned to como to
America to enlist President Wilson's aid
in restoring Russia, but preparations of
the allies made tins unnecessary, Hus
sion officials hero said today.
Reports charging Kerensky with being
nrn-Gcrman. bolshevik and a friend of
Lenine and Trotsky were stoutly denied
hv Russians here today. They declare
Kerensky is trying to help build the an
ti-bolshevik government in northern lius
sia which is expected to replace the
entire Lenine rcginio in Russia.
The latest proclamation of tins gov
ernment was received with interest in
diplomatic circles. Coming at the time
when Lenine appears about to totter fin
ally, and along with reports that Keren
sky plans to go to-Archangel, this proc
lamation gave hope that ut last a sta
ble government in Russia is in sight.
Some Of Kercnsky's friends are mem
bers of this new government, it is re
ported, and it is along tUe conservative,
democratic lines which Keienslty him
self tried to carrv out under the con
stitutional assembly.
Just who is chief leader in the new
Archangel government, is not yet clear,
but M. Zuboff, assistant mayor of tho
citv of.Voloeda and one of the signers
of the new government proclamation has
been mentioned before this to the Am
erican government as a strong man.
Whether the growing strength of the
new party has forced Trotsky and Len
ine, bolshevist leaders, to flee, as re
ported, is not known here. But even if
they have fled, it is considered unim
portant as regards the future of tho bol
shevist movement. There is a strong sup
nnnitinn in official circles that theso
two arc not really the leaders of 'the
bolshevist at all and while they have
continued to pose as such leaders, their
only real function for some time has
been that of German agents.
Their departure would not kill or even
seriously disorganize tne ooisnevim oi
ficials here think.

The French have now almost reached
