EBY PRESENTS FACTS ABOUT MILK COST

At a meeting of the Milk Pro'infrs' association held in the court house last ni'ht. A. Frank Kby, county food administrator, jre-j-nted facts a.s to the cost of producing milk to the 7.") members who were present. His statements were based upon the figures presented to him by Prof. Mills of Purdue university who lias been i n estitfati mu' ondltions in South Rend for the past month. Dr. Roy Wolfe, health inspector. alHo addressed the meeting. furnihln;r figures for th last ,'!3 tests of milk coming into the city from farmers. He stated that the average of thee tests showed that there van 2.)9 per cent butterfat in the tnilk. Mr. V.hy, who Is acting as ari jtrator between thp retailers anl the producers, said that he would do everything in his power to protect the source of milk supply. Fifty per cent of the dairy cows in this county are now oinj: to the butchers, and this is a condition which should not exist. Tho standard price which retailers are now paying is 2." cents per gallon and that retailers are satisfied with this price is attested, by the fact that a committee of retailers waited upon Mr. Kby, urin? him to use all his influence to prevent the producers from striking. One-half of the men. present declared that retailers are satisfied with the presnt price, which will be

charged bv the producers until yv. Kby .reports to the contrary. The tjucstion was left entirely to Mr. Kby by the Milk Producers association, believing that Justice would be done in the mutter.

BRITISH PRESS COMMENTS ON PEACE OFFENSIVE

Ass'niii t d Press Service: LONDON. May 4. The evening newspapers are skeptical of the good faith of the reported German "peace offensive" the Pall Mall Gazette says: "That Great Rritain is always ready for real peace goes without .saying, but such peace involves the settlement of the moral questions raised by the war, full expiation of Germany's fiendish crimes- and the establishment of complete safeguards against any future outbreak of Hunnishness. No siun has come from Germany as to her readiness to satisfy those standards, and none can be expected until the military class which controls her public life has been rendered powerless by defeat." The Westminster Gazette says: "There is. in our view, no solid guarantee for peace until German militarism ciUicr is broken in the field or si discredited in other ways th.it it will cease to dominate the German people, our first question to the enemy should be: Is he prepared honestly to make an end of the system which has productl this war." The Evening Standard says: "Our best plan is wholly to lisregard such arguments, in whatever quarter they appear and however disguised. As n American speaker uell put it the other clay, the cmly way to peace is through the war."
