the president of the milk producers T. @.
Colby of Whiteteld, ~ H., which said in
part:

for perfecting the better marketing of
dairy products throughout New England
should command universal confidence and
support Not only producers and business
men but also consumers may well approve
of the plan you are working on to so i'm
prove distribution that producers may net
better prices for milk while insuring good
milk at fair prices to consumers. This
work of the New England Milk Producers
association is right in line with the great
movement for the upbuilding of the agri-
culture, other industries and prosperity of
New England which is the purpose of the
Eastern States Agricultural and Indus
trial exposition. The exposition corpora
ton therefore takes pleasure in assuring
YOU of its desire to lend its influence to
all proper reasonable and legitimate eff
forts

erous amount Ito hasten the completion
OF your organization and concluded with
an offer of the free use of the exposition $

COUNT TISzA SEES
PEACE POSSIBILITY

Berlin, June 2. - Count Tisza. the
Hungarian premier, known as the
strong man" of Austria-Hungary, in
an interview accorded to a CORE
spondent of the Berlin Tageblatt, ex-
pressed himself very cautiously with
regard to the prospects for peace and
on the situation SO far as the readi-
ness OF Germany and Austria-Hungary
is concerned.
But" said Count Tisza. "the en-
tente is yet unwilling to draw the con.
sequences from this situation"
The premier made sharp distinc-
tion between subjective and objective
pre-condition for peace negotiations
saying:
The objective pre-conditions for
peace negotiations, which long have
been existent for the central powers
have undoubtedly been strengthened
during recent months.
"The final event which we could de
sire to happen before embarking or
peace negotiations is now occurring In
the expulsion OF the Italians from Aus
trian soil.
From the moment when We de
stroyed the aggressive intentions o.
our adversaries we made no secret o.
our willingness for peace"
