TARIFF war Said
TO Be PROBABLE

washington, April S1.-lG 10 ADMIT
cd at the state department that pour
parlers have been in progress for the
last three months between the Ameri-
can embassy 1t Berlin and the German
foreign ofiioe respecting the CONNER.
DIAL treaties, but 10 far Ambassador
Tower has mot notified tho department
that the German government has de-
cided to terminate the existing agree
n,ent with the United States.
The effect Of . formal declaration
Of that kind would b very serious, 1t
10 feared. and Mr.. Tower u now On.
gagged in ono Of the most difficult and
complex tasks which he has been cali.
cd upon to discharge. II the arrange
ment 10 denounced and no substitute 10
found. then It may b that the United
States and Germany will soon become
involved In . tariff war which would
certainly prove DISASTROUS to ono or
both Of the principals. In view Of the
vast amount Of trade between the two
countries which would b affected.
Status q Situation.
Tho situation, in brief. 1t this mo.
ment. 10 - follows:
In July, 1900, reciprocity arrange
ment was entered into between Amer
ica and Germany under section 8 OF
the Dingley act. whereby, IN return
for . reduction Of duties ON German
brandies, still wines and works Of art
entering the United States, Germany
agreed to igve United States products
tho beneof tariff reductions accorded
to the European countries above
named.
Germany has now drawn now CON-
ventions with those countries changing
the tariff rates, and II disposed to re-
fuse the United States the benefits Of
these special rates under the old Ding
10y convention.
The state department. holds that the
new conventions ars really nothing
more than amendments Of the original
treaties, and that, therefore, the spirit
Of the Dinglsy cot agreement would
seem 70 cause IL 70 apply with equal
force TO the new conventions. CoETes-

tend that the proper plan 10 to draw

an Investigation conducted some tims
ago BY Prof. Babcock, the well-known
dairy expert, 1t was found that tho
order in which the teats were MIXED
exercised considerable influence on the
quality OF the milk obtained. II was
found that the teat that was drawn
second In order almost invariably Yield
ed the richest milk; then came the teat
that was nrst MIXED. and next In order
the third and fourth, the last one
drawn invariably giving the poorest
milk. From these results Prof. Bab-
cock argues that milk II pretty largely
formed during the act Of milking, and
that It does not accumulate to any ex-
tent in the ready-made condition Of
