U.S. Meat Trust Is
Severely Criticized
In London
LONDON, Nov. 11. In a discussion
in the house of commons yesterday
concerning the food question and con
trol of tho meat supply, the American
meat trust was criticized severely by
some speakers.
Major Waldorf-Aslor, parliamentary
secretary to tho food -ministry, said
that the trust controlled more than
50 per cent of tho availablo and import
able moat supplies which constituto a
serious menace. However, he added,
the inter-allied food council set up by
tho food controller and which would
buy in tho world's markets, was going
to be stronger than tho trust. It would
be able lo dictate to the trust If nec
essary and would be ablp to fix rea
sonable prices for consumers.

Million Persons Will Die
From Lack of Food
and Disease. j
TERRIBLE SUFFERING
Released Prisoners De
clare Revolts May
Come Soon.
ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS, Tues
,day, Nov. 12.. (By the,., .-iBociated'
Press) G. D. McLeed of Montreal, an
aviator and C. O. Young, of Dest
Moines, Iowa, imprisoned by the Aus
trlans during the Italian campaign
have reached the Italian lines. They
bring direct news of conditions in the
interior of Austria, having travelled
from Salzerbad near Vienna, after be
ing liberated.
"Horrible food conditions prevail in
Austria," said McLeed today, "and it
is quite possible that a million persons;
will die there this winter from lack ol i
food, weakness and disease. The
country Is quiet now, but another Rus
sia may grow out of the situation as
soon as the troops returning from the
front discover that the end of the war,
has not brought relief.
"Scenes along the railways are like,
those on the battle field. We saW
bodies scattered here and there as a
result of men crowding on the tops of J
trains and being swept off by tun-
nelc. There were also bodies of
wounded men who have been taken
from Red Cross cars and left to die.
Terrible sanitary conditions prevail in
little towns filled with returning sol
diers. "What Austria needs is food. The
other prisoners and I arc alive only be
cause of food received from outside of
Austria. For three days a friend and
I had between us only a little bad
bread. It was about as big as a man's
hand. Five hundred newly arrived
Serbian troops are keeping order at
Laibach."
