PROFITS ARE GREAT Government Report States That Traffic Is Greater Each Year. • Federal, bute and city authorities are now actively co-operating in 111- inota to put an end to the illegal traf- fic in rotten eggs. Prom evidence al- deflnlte market ta Chicago for "rata and spots" at |2 a case of thirty dozen. In coosssjasaco. rata and spots from all over the surrounding country have been coming into Chicago la large numbers. In .the past, the delay ■(ramify to secure authorization from Washington to make the seizures un- der the federal food and drugs act has proved a serious handicap iu breaking up the traffic. With the c.- operation of too state authorities. koworar. this delay fa now largely obviated. They Act Promptly. The state authorities being on the spot are able to act with great promptness. In this way, not only are seizures made possible, but the necessary steps toward criminal prose- cution are also facilitated. One of the Anns In Chicago handling these bad eggs baa already been tried by a state court and found guilty. Ship- ments of bad eggs are also being re- ported to tne authorities in Chicago ty federal, state and city inspectors in other states, in order that- these eggs may be traced to their ultimate destination.

Now, with tne state and federal a u- thorities working together, it la be- lieved the traffic can be broken up very rapidly. In this connection It Is pointed out that moat of the firms using those unfit eggs probably do so reluctantly, believing that the compctl- f on of others forces them Into the (raffle. However, it has been amply demonstrated by the department that the frozen and dried egg business Is a successful and Important industry only vhen based on the use of good eggs, handled under special conditions. Another important result of the work In Chicago, it is hoped, will be to persuade other cities and states of the necessity of assisting the fed- eral government in destroying the traf- fic in bad eggs. That this can be done has already been demonstrated in Trenton, N. J., where eleven indict- ments have been found on the charge of conspiracy In connection with this business. All of the indicted men are now awaiting trial. Buck criminal . prosecutions it is believed will do far more to put on end to the traffic than any number of seizures or fines. The profit in the business, is so great when conducted on an extensive scale that the dealer can well afford an occa- sional fine. His rots and spots cost him so little that when his goods are seised, the loss is insignificant, and *lr» many cases he has no reputation at all to suffer from the consequent exposure.

Such is the Inexplicable character of the present European war. But the very difficulty of explaining the situation makes our desire to un- cover the true causes more intense. It might be suggested that the causes wore psychological rather than po- litical. Doubtless the psychological element plays a large part la the pre clpltatlon of most wars, and It would appear to have played an exceptionally large part In the present Instance. where the crisis did not seam more extreme than many that hare been aasred safely during the last forty years.
