How France Has Been Fed “Before the war, a distinguished French Officer, General Maitrot, wrote a series of articles in the ‘Echo de Paris’ to warn France, that in case of war, the French meat industry would be unable to supply the French army in the field with fresh meat,—owing especially to the lack of modern refrigerating plants and of refrigerating transportation,—and too, owing to the deficiency in the national herd.” “Since the war began, the French army has never been short of fresh meat, thanks mainly to the prosperous condi- tion of the American meat industry, and too, to the American live stock breeders.” The foregoing statement was made by a representative of the Allies now in the United States. Another representative of the Allies said recently: “that the American packers have been of the greatest possible assistance to the Allies and have, by their efficient co- operation, contributed in the utmost degree to the successful prosecution of the war.” Swift & Company, U.
