I IIL SERVICE OH
II FRANCE IS
IT GOOD
Mrs. Nellie Cline, a teacher in the
a Ogden schools has received a letter
ft from hor nephew, Jean Case, now In
.-service in France, who states that the
I mail service over there is nothing to
brag about when it comes to effi
U ctency and speed in delivery. Ex
I tracts from the letter are as follows:
i 'It surely did seem good to hear
H from you again as I have received but
iwo fetters since coming over, al
though I know that you write three or
four times a week.
I "I received a letter but a short time
I before I started down here. Am in
1 he Alps mountains at present and it
V is surely cold. Quite a number of us
were lucky enough to ho sent here for
I a rest. It is the best camp around
E here. We are quartered in hotels and
have good meals furnished by the gov
I ornmeut. Will start back to the old
address in a day or two.
I "I wrote to the postmaster, giving
I him my previous addresses and also
my present one and told him I should
jppreciate anything that could be done
1 n getting my mail to me, as I have
eceived practically nothing in the last
'ive months I hope it has some ef
li "Can you imagine the fact that,
h ince June 20, I have been without a
1 lervice record, it being lost by the de
ft partment. and apparently am as far
'rom owning one now as I was a month
1) igo? Quite a number of the boys are
I In the same fix and we eannot under
F stand it. We were Issued pay books
I a short time ago by which wc were
o supposed to be able to draw $7.50 per
I month but we could not even draw
il that much because the books wore not
I presented soon enough. Since June 20,
I I have received only $7.50. Good pay,
I "Do not try to send any Christmas
I package, as in all probabilities I should
I fail to receive it.
i,l "Will surely be glad when. I get
i home, but have not heard anything
I ri as to tlx time of my roloase. -7
i; I can ret a bur ch of about 100 letters
that I know are about overdue for
I Christmas, it will be the best present
J sver. The letters that I don't get are
i not censored. So you are free to say
ji whatever you want,
j "Had an exciting ride not long ago.
:i Was up in an airplane for two hours
ind ten minutes which was quite a
ong trip for the first one.
I "Have not learned much French and
r, shall not try to learn any more as I
I nope soon lo be in a country where
oolhiug but good sturdy English is
n needed. Do you know there is no
V sther language like English, and ev-
W ttryone in the United States should be!
Or required to speak it."

URGES STRICT
CONTROL OF THE
MEAT INDUSTRY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-Slricter
government control of the meat In
dustry without government acquisition
of the packing plants was advocated
today by W. B. Clover, chairman of
tho federal trade commission at the
opening of hearings before the house
interstate commerce committee on the
administration bill designed to deal
with an alleged monopoly of the in
dustry. "There is not the slightest reason
at present why the industry should not
remain in private hands," said Mr.
Colver. He added, however, that in
terlocked with the meat industry was.
ownership of transportation, stock
yard, freight houses and other facili
ties "so that competitors are practical
ly helpless in carrying on the busi
ness." "The packing industry, standing!
alone," said Mr. Colver, "will proceed J
to grow great as a necessary and use-1
ful industry, which will bo fostered j
for the great public good. j
"There are influences at work that
I are not to the public interest, but)
these- can be controlled without Inter-j
ference with private business, without
hardship to It or its dislocation. The
commission never suggested that the
government take over the packing)
plants and the commission does noti
do so now." I
The "big five" was named by Mr !
Colver as Swift and company, Armour ;
and company, the Cudahy Packing i
company, Morris and company and
Wilson and company, incorporated. j
Mr. Colver reiterated the chargos of
the commission regarding control,!
saying that ownership of yards, ex- j
changes, refrigerator cars and other
facilities gave the "big five" an un-1
I due advantage over competitors. I

among whom the casualty rate was
tremendous.
Following are the Marine units in
France: The 5th, 6th. and 33th regi
ments, the 1st Machine gun battalion,
the 1st, 2nd and 3rd replacement bat
talions, the 3rd, 1th, 5lh and 6th, sep
arate battalions, 1st and 2nd casual
replacement battalions, 1st separate
machine gun battalion and part of the
11th regiment. Tho total up to the
dato of the report Avas 5-10 officers
and 21,323 men.
Between April 1 and SopL 1. 1918.
the Marino casualties totalled 23 per
cent of their gross strength. Forty
four officers and 1,116 enlisted men
were killed in action and 76 officers
and 2,832 men were wounded.
"Only 25 men are known to be in
the hands of the enemy," General Bar
nett said. "It is considered that this
constitutes a most remarkable testi
monial to the magnificent morale and
individual courage of the men."
Attention also is called to the re-1
markablc records made by fresh
troops who were thrown Into action
against veteran enemy forces after
only 7 weeks of training. Their
steadiness under fire, the report said,
"is eloquent of tho fine material from
which the corps is drawing Its men."
The Marine corps also organized a
regiment of heavy artillery to man 7
inch naval guns provided with cater
pillar tractors and mounts, and built
up its own aviation service, SO student
fliers being graduated each month, in
the closing days of the war, from the
school at Boston.
Despite the great expansion of the
corps and tho reduced training per
iod, the Marines maintained their rec
ord for marksmanship, 67 percent of
the entire organization qualifying as
marksmen, sharpshooters and expert
riflemen.
General Barnett recommended that
tho permanent peace strength of the
corps be raised to 31,500.
New construction recommended by
the commandant includes storage fa
cilities at Philadelphia -to cost $-150,000,
additional mess halls and quarters at
Paris Island, S. C., to cost ?1,658,300,
adequate water works at Quantico, Va.,
and barracks at the New York navy
yard.
Quantico should be made the east
coast base and San Diego the west
coast base of the corps, General Bar
nett says, should It become necessary
to concentrate these troops at their
own depots in order to devote the
space they now occupy to industrial
activities of tho navy yards.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 During the
revenue bill debate, Senator Hitchcock,
Democrat, of Nebraska, and other sena
tors, vigorously attacked the postoffice
and war department's managonient-of
the military mail service. He charged
that the "breakdown of this system
had been disgraceful," and declared
the only explanation possible for it
was the rank incompetence on the part
of the two departments.
Senator Hitchcock said this was
even worse than the "breakdown in the
matter of payment of allotments lo
soldiers."
Senator Shafroth, Democrat, of Colo
rado, defended the departments, de
claring that in many cases the soldiers
had been at fault. All things consid
ered, ho said, the service was not bad.
"I did not think," interrupted Sena
tor Weeks, Republican, of Massachu
setts, "that any senator had the temer
ity to apologize for the military mail
service. What Senator Hitchcock said
is quite true."
Senator Hitchcock interrupted lo
say that management of the military
mail got so bad that the war depart
ment itself took it over from the post
office department, and now the for
mer had broken down in its manage
ment. Information received by him
showed that tons of mail addressed to
soldiers were stacked up und;Ilvered.
