In the famous Palace of Justice, the very courtroom where the highest court in Belgium was wont to sit, was turned | into a dormitory for German soldiers. | Force installed in the temple of the law—a perfect symbol of the German occupation in Belgium! Soon, however, the historic old structure, dear to the hearts of all Belgians, will be restored to its original uses. Could anything more fitting be imagined than that the | e congress, the greatest tribunal for meting out justice | punishments that could be meted out by the ffect on the German people would be the world has ever known, hold its daily sessions in the very) “tow did the shortage of gasoline | building which is the symbol of Germany's greatest shame | and humiliation? There America’s delegates and those of her allies can} hana exactly why the old machine! witness for themselves the wanton destruction perpetrated by the Hun vandals. Earlier opinion was that the peace congress would meet at The Hague, capital of Holland, and seat of the futile at- tempts of last decade to “arrange” a permanent peace based on injustice and oppression. The Star is unable to see why Holland should expect the peace conference to be held within her borders. Holland's principal war contribytion has been to her own pockets. ere are various reasons why the capitals of the ter allies are unavailable as locations for the peace de- fiaariilene—too great home influence, for one. | And while there are many reasons for holding the peace | conference at Brussels, we have not yet heard of one argu- ment for NOT holding it there. © . Brussels is the place. War and Beauty American soldiers have gone into battle bedecked with | es. American sailors, in clothes which allow their bodies perfect freedom, have gone to sea, following, and imitating as best they could, that paragon of manly} grace, a Great Lakes bandmaster: | Coming, many of them, from unattractive homes, our | fighters and their folks have loafed in the beautiful Red, Cross and Y. W. C. A. hostess houses. There they have} learned to like the big brick fireplaces, the simple wicker | and unvarnished wood furniture, which, before the war, only the rich and the cultured poor enjoyed. All of us have reveled in the picturesqueness of “uni-| forms,” men’s and women’s. Because there are so many) different branches of war service and war work, these “uni-| forms,” whether Red Cross nurse’s or aviator’s, have actu-| ally furnished a variety which civilian dress has never| approached. Our own shining star spangled banner, flanked by the} brilliant flags of our many allies, has made our land flame with color. This beauty and color will not pass with the war. In new forms, we shall carry it into the even greater days of peace. Phone Service Getting Worse | For a few days, a week or two ago, it appeared as if the telephone company officials were taking hold of the tele- proved service. Hopes that this would continue apparently are vain. The service is getting worse daily. With increased rates for service, the public is more and more entitled to better service. In Portland, steps are being taken to revoke the telephone franchise. Seattle may have to do likewise. With the declaration of peace, in a very short time, the ernment may give up control of the telephone service. in that event it will be up to the city to act—promptly. If the government retains control after peace declara- ion, then the local managers must go. Seattle has suffered ough from their mismanagement, and is in no mood to ut up with any more of their inefficiency. a ° ilson and His Congress President Wilson asked for a democratic congress. The untry has selected a republican congress, to convene next larch. Meanwhile Wilson has a democratic congress. ‘ace enables President Wilson to plan and direct much of Ihe necessary reconstruction work, if his democratic con- ress would be dominantly democratic. aoe: President Wilson’s present war congress con- ait sufficient republicans who voted wisely and patriotic- lly enough to offset the recalcitrant democrats on war eagures.

Swift & Company has frequently stated that its profit on beef averages only one-fourth of a cent a pound, and hence has practically no effect on the price. Comparison has been made by the Federal Trade Commission of this profit with the profit on coal, and it has pointed out that anthracite coal operators are content with a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef profit of one-fourth of a cent a pound means a profit of $5.00 a ton.

To carry the comparison further, the 25 cent profit on coal is 314 per cent of the $7.00 value. The $5.00 profit on beef is only 114 per cent of the $400.00 value. The profit has little effect on price in either case, but has less effect on the price of beef than on the price of coal. Coal may be stored in the open air indefinitely; beef must be kept in expensive coolers because it is highly perishable and must be refrigerated. Coal is handled by the carload or ton; beef is delivered to retailers by the pound or hundred weight. J Methods of handling are vastly different. Coal is handled in open cars; beef mast be shipped in refrigerator cars at an even temperature. Fairness to the public, fairness to Swift & Company, fairness to the packing industry, demands that these indisputable facts be considered. It is impossible to disprove Swift & Company's statement, that its profits on beef are so small as to have practically no effect on prices. Swift & Company, U.S. A.
