Council Will be Asked to Pass Law Requiring Registered Distributors. A city ordinance calling for the registration of dairymen ami distributors and the licensing of distributors probably uiii he the first definite result of the milk war which has stirred null; producers, distributors and consumers here for the last several mn hs. At the next regular meeting of the common council, March JS, an ordinance which has been prepared by Dr. Charles Pose nbury, city health off.cer, and the milk committee of the Ciic federation will be presented. The passage of this ordinance, it is believed, will go a long way toward insuring pure milk for South Pend. The proposed ordinance, which was the princ ipal topic of discussion at the meeting of the milk committee of the Civic federation at the high school Monday night, calls for the registration of dairymen and distributors and the licensing of the latter. Certain sanitary requirements must be met before these licenses will be granted or before a producer or distributor will be allowed to register. The proposed lawmakes various other requirements which should provide at least minimum safeguards against an insanitary milk supply. The discussion of the question of a municinal dairv was taken un at the meeting of the milk committee

Monday night but due to the fact;John !I- Hankhead's SS-year record that the time of the committee wasin congress she has decided to keep

largely occupied with the discussion I of the proposed ordinance, the question of the municipal dairy was postponed until the next meeting of t." e milk committee in two weeks. Meanwhile the nu mbers of the committee who are connected with the various civic clubs of the city will continue to agitate the matter of better milk at the Civic club meetings.

Chinese Breafy With Germany Gets Approval PEKING, March lCThe senate today approved the severance of relations with Germany by a vote of 152 to 37. It is expected that the government will take action to this end tomorrow (Monday). After the house had approved the severance of relations Saturday, the German minister presented a note to the foreign office offering to negotiate for the protection of Chinese lives and property in the submarine zone. In official circles it is believed the legation hoped through the note to postpone the severance, of diplomatic relations. It had no influence on the cabinet and the senate. WASHINGTON, March Further developments looking to a severance of relations with Germany by China were reported to the state department Monday by Minister Heinsen at Peking with the prediction that a final rupture might be expected at any time. There Is no intimation from any source that China is prepared as et to actually Join in the war against Germany, although diplomatic circles here confirm Peking dispatches saying the entente led by Japan, is urging1 the Peking government to ,,.o. o .c ö v i' iri rim v, l.r.r supplies of iron and other war materials for permission to increase her customs duties and the postponement of her Boxer indemnities.
