" SHINGTON. Dec. s.-Recent

fact, the people of Germany are

County Producing Association
Sets Schedule for Year
20 Cents a Gallon to
April |.
NO SET PRICE IN PAST:
RANGED FROM IS TO "a CENTS
Point Out That With Enormous
Increase in Cost of Feed
Margin of Profit Will
Still Be Small.

The price of milk was advanced
an average OF. about cents per
gallon by the price schedule adopt
ed for the coming year at a meet
ing of about zoe members of the
ST. Joseph County Milk Producers
association held at the high school.
Saturday afternoon. As a result the
Ccst of milk to the consumer is eX-
pected to jump from the present
Irice, y cents per gallon, TO at least
@6 cents. The reason given by the
producers for advancing the price
is the increased cost of production.
The advance is to go into effect
Monday morning.
The schedule of prices adopted by
the association, which il is claimed,
controls 50 per cent of the milk
supply of South Bend, is 20 cents
per gallon until April 1, is cents
per gallon from April l TO oct. /,
and 20 cents from Oct. TO Dec
1, the average price for the year
being 10 cents.
No set I'F1Ce heretofore.
The farmers have been selling
their milk to the dealers for what
ever they could get, the prices which
they have been receiving varying, it
is claimed, from 16 cents to "a cents
per gallon.
The advance in the price of milk
on the part of the producers has
been expected for some time. At
the meeting Of the national confer
ence in regard to the marketing
Of farm products held in Chicago
last week, it was shown that the
price of milk is being raised all over
the country. Only last week the
Dairymen's association of Misha-
waka advanced the price of milk
by cents to Is cent? a gallon,
causing the dealers of that city to
likewise advance the price TO 8
cents a quart.
Claim Profit To BE Small.
The farmers claim that even with
the advance IN price their margin
Of profit will be very small. They
claim that the cost Of production
has increased enormously during
the last year and cite for example
bow the very necessary cotton seed
meal has jumped from $50 to $50
a ton and how other feedstuffs have
advanced propOrtionately They
claim that it was either a case Of
advancing their price or lowering
their output and quality of milk
by feeding less, which would in the
end result in higher prices for the
consumer.
About this time last year the
Farmers Milk Producing associa-
ton set the price Of milk at II
cents a gallon for the three winter
months. but with the coming or
spring it again dropped They
claim that when later the pasturage
disappeared and the cost of pro-
ducing increased the dealers refused
TO pay them more and that joint
action is necessary on their part
TO protect their rights They have
this time set the price for the en-
tire year and claim that the prices
will be maintained as the associa-
ton controls % per cent of the milk
supply Of the county.

Pubic Opinion
ToDecide Course
On Deportation
Associated Press Service.

WASHINGTON, Dec. g. Ameri-
can public opinion will decide whaf
steps if any. the government shall
take 10 follow up its protest TO Ger
many against the deportations OF
Belgians.
Chancellor ven Bethmann-H oll-
wegs conversation with Charge Grew
Of the American embassy in Berlin
has convinced state department Off
Gals that Germany's formal reply TO
the American protest viii hold the
deportations justified on the ground
OF social necessity.
1t was admitted unreservedly to-
day that the action of the state de-
partment in publishing the text Of
the protest was for the purpose of
sounding public opinion on the sub
ject, now that the ordinary resources
OF diplomacy have been exhausted
1t was realized that publication Of
the document might not be viewed
with favor by Germany, but that was
fully considered before the state de-
partment's action was decided upon
Reply Not Encouraging.
Officials were not greatly encour-
aged by today's press dispatches out
lining the forthcoming German reply.
So far as can be determined from
this summary the reply contains lit
tie, the officials believe that had not
been said to Charge Grew, before the
formal American protest was sent.
Whether Germany's reply will be
made public or answered with
further note by this government will
not me decided until the attitude Of
the American public has been sound
ed out and the actual text of the
German answer has been examined.
The state department is conscious
that il already has exceeded the con-
ventional bounds of diplomacy in
making several informal as well as
formal Representations in the case,
but it is eager TO emphasize its posi-
ton in every reasonable way. The
personal views of Pres't Wilson are
yet to be laid before German officials
by Ambassador Gerard, now on his
way back to Berlin.
Official information shows that the
depOrtations are continuing. and it
is the opinion here that whatever
notifications the Germans may have
put into practice, the obnoxious prin-
ciple of deportation remains virtually
unaltered. Some OF the statements
reported 10 be contained in the Ger
man reply differ widely from the Of
fetal information reaching the de-
partment, especially as to the sever
ity with which the deportations are
being carried out. The department
has been convinced that the en-
pIOyed and those of independent
means have been taken indiscrimi-
nately with the unemployed and the
dependent.
Seek No Long Argument
Officials do not desire to enter into
a long argument with Germany as TO
details and are satisfied with the &C
curacy Of their information today.
One official said today the depart
ment was ready TO go ahead with
that as a basis if il were decided to
take further action.
The general failure Of the repre-
sensations of the United States. Hol-
land, Spain and the Vatican is caus-
ing increasing concern here for the
continuance of relief work in Bel
GUM, especially in view Of the sec
end official statement from England,
published today that Germany's ac-
ton was threatening the whole
foundation Of Belgian relief
