The comment of the American prels on the Federal Trade Commltslon'e report on tht packinf industry would tend to show that the people do not teem to be worrying over the precise percentage of profits made by Mr. Armour and Mr. Swift and Mr. Wilsoti and the rctt, nor are they so deeply concerned lest these gentlemen branch out too widely into the grocery business. What they do aik is: are' the packers profiteering; are they keeping up the price of meat and other products they-handle; are they one of the props of the High Cost of Living? While the packer! have their defenders among the news papers, there is a widespread belief that the "Big Five" can not be held guiltless of alt blame for the continuance of high food-prices, as is shown in the leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for August 2d. Other features of more than ordinary interest in this number of "The Digest" art: Peace Can Only Com Whtn Everybody Goes to Work Again and when "the healing procetsei of trade" hsve a chance to make themielvet felt. So we heir on every hand.

Auttria Paying the Fiddler She writhes and kicki against the terrible punlih ment but will submit. While the American dollar, auoted before the war at Ave crowns, it now worth thirty-two, "the future it not to black, even for Auttria." A man accompanying thit article shows proud Austria before the war and the shred of ter ritory that now remains. Japan Rattlet the Saber in Korea Jdpanete journals are publishing articles in which the failure of that country 1 authorities to administer affairs in Korea Is pointed out in fcarsh terms. Korea through the Korean National Association appeals to the world for freedom end makes charget against Japan that are startling, to Say the leat. Be ture to read thit "close-Up" account, which includes trans lations direct from the Japanese press. A Race Rfot , ' At President Wilson's Door strikes tome observers tt a touch of irony, inasmuch at he had just returned iroto looking after the needs of Suoprett nationalities and subject races in Europe. In this article the opinions of various editors, Inclu ding representatives of the colored race, are given aito the causes and tendencies of the race riots in Washington, Does Germany Consider the Treaty A "Scrap of Paper"? The Brussels Nttitn remarks cynically that the Germans hsve tigned the Treaty, but they "will never execute it" as they consider It "a peace of dupes." Read this series of translations from the German, Austrian, and Italian press, and you will get in answer to a question that affects the future safety of the world. "Dry" America As An Example to England The Manchester GutrJim says American pro hibition is the "biggest blow at the uie of alcohol that hat been struck time Mohammed banned liquor among hit followers." but other English pipers ire not to sure.

Many newspapers agree and run such headlines as "Japan the Poneuor of Stolen Goods," "Far Eastern Alsace-Lorraine." Others defend the Shantung Treaty. This article will give you the basic facts of the dispute and the leading opinions on both tides. , i3 And in Addition to These Features The Vital News of Rtligion-Scinnce and InventionLlteraturt Poetry to say nothing of the (east of Illustrations, inclu ding striking csrtoons from the press of many lands --makes THE DIGEST Indeed the one necessary magazine for intelligent men and women.
