BRITISH SQUAD DOWNS 106 FOE IN SIX WEEKS

Twenty-one in a Day Is the Record of Group of Aviators. (By Associated Press.)

LONDON, May 7. A wounded British airman back from France reports

that the squadron operating in an important sector on the Amiens front has probably established a record by bringing down 106 enemy machines in six weeks, including twenty-one on one day. He was the only member of the squadron known to have been wounded up to the time he returned to Lon- . don. He said it was hard work get- : tinp the German airmen to fight. "Practically the only times they ; would come out," he said, "were about ' 9 o'clock In the morning, when the glare of the sun would be in our faces, , and In the evening. Even then they : would slip away if they bad half a chance, "The supreme confidence of our fel- ; lows is half the battle. During the ; German offensive they have been doing four "shows" a day, returning only : for ammunition and an occasional meal and possibly a game of cards, if ; the morning's work was particularly , good and the afternoon's threatened to be heavy, Huns Like Company. "Nearly all the machines we I brought down were two seaters. In ; fact, few of the German airmen will fly anything else. The pilots like a ; man with a gun behind them." The airman said the German lnfantry was bombed and machine gunned by the aviators four times a day regularly and that when the enej my came forward In masses they were : easy prey for the air forces, i "We would swoop down while flying at a speed of 130 miles an hour. SomeI times we came within fifty feet of the ground, going so fast they could do nothing with us. Their machine gun fire from the ground improved after the first few weeks, but it did little damage." Seek to Trick the Yankees. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, May 3. Delayed (by the , Associated Press). German aviators are now resorting to unsportsmanlike . tricks in an endeavor to outwit American fliers. The trlckiness of the German soldiers afoot is emulated by enemy airmen, who are marking their machines to make them look as much like allied markings as posisble. The Germans have taken to rounding off the corners of the cross on the wings of their planes to make them look like allied badges. The game of the German airman is to play around, get in a shot, if he can, and then run. , American fliers, for fear of attacking , a probable friend, must get up close ; to an enemy machine, usually after ; considerable maneuvering, before ' opening a fight. i p. Richmond Man Described Collision of U. S. Ships Richard Hewitt, of Richmond, who enlisted as machinist in tbe aviation ; corps labt January, was on board one ; of the American troop transports that ' collided with another American ship off the eastern coast last week. In a letter written at sea to his par- ' ents. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hewitt, the soldier describes his experiences dur : ing the accident. The letter follows: "I left Camp Merritt Monday, April ' . We got on board the ship April ' and stayed in dock until Tuesday,' : April . At five p. m., April we ! started for France. We had good weather for two days but on Thursday April , the wind blow very hard and the waves dashed all over the ship. Commencing that day we had U-boat ' drills at 10 p. m., and we would all be on deck in .five minutes. But they told us the ship would not go down! But one of the other ships ran into our front end and tore it off and the water Just poured in. How it happened there were seven ships all trailing in close together. It happened on Thurs- . day night, April . The sea was aw- '. ful rough and the thlp rocked very much. Then we got an order from New York to turn and come hack. "Well, we had some time coming

back after being out 1,000 miles, with the front end of our ship torn out. I do not know how bad the other ship ' was hurt. The next day cominij back, Friday, April , the sea was awful rough and the water came almost up over the sides of the ship. If you stood on one side of the whip while it rocked so much you would slide clear to the other side. "We arrived back to good old U. S. A. Sunday afternoon: April , and I sure was glad to see land again. We started to unload our ship and put it on another, so I suppose we will be ready to start again in a few days for France. I suppose you have read all about this accident for it was in all of the Now York papers. Only the two ships that collided had to come

back and I was on the one that got

, hit and it was damaged the worst. "All the boys on this ship are well and happy. I suppose all of these dates will be erased by the censor as 1 forgot about mentioning them. Well. I have told you about all about- the , trip and I am well and hope you are , the same. "I think we will be In France in a few days now. ' "Well, mother, I must close hoping that on our next trip we will get to France O. K."

Both Ends (.Producer and Consumer) Against The Middle . (Jhe Packer) e The consumer wants to pay a low price for meat. The farmer wants to get a high price for cattle. The packer stands between these conflicting demands, and finds it impossible to completely satisfy both. The packer has no control over the prices of live stock or meat, and the most that can be expected of him is that he keep the difference between the two as low as possible. He does this successfully by converting animals into meat and distributing the meat at a minimum of expense; and at a profit too small to be noticeable in the farmer's returns for live stock or in the meat bill of the consumer. Swift & Company's' 1917 transactions in Cattle were as follows: Average Per Head

. . . $68.97 . . . 24.09

Sold meat to Retailer for . . . Sold By-products for . . . . Total Receipts ...... Paid to Cattle Raiser . . . . Balance (not paid to Cattle Raiser) Paid for labor and expenses at Packing House, Freight on Meat, and Cost of operating Branch distributing houses . . . . . Remaining in Packers' hands as returns on investment ....

$93.06 84.45 $ 8.61

7.32

$ 1.29

The net profit was $1.29 per head, or about one-fourth of a cent per pound of beef. By what other method can the, difference between cattle prices and beef prices be made smaller, and how can the conflicting demands of producer and consumer be better satisfied?
