Greatly Decreased Receipts
From UsuaI'Sources Today,
Distributors Admit.
CONSUMERS CAUTIONED
TO CONSERVE SUPPLY
War Over Prices Between Producers
and Dealers Grows Serious,
Especially Up State.

NEW YORK, October 3.-Greatly de-
creased receipts of milk from the usual
sources Of supply brought New York
today to a realization of the serious
ness of a possible milk famine. Nor was
there any indication of a breaking Of
the deadlock between the distributors
and the farmers over prices.
The big milk companies admitted
that but approximately one-haf OIL
their supply was received today and
some of that came from long distances
Some express shipments were recorded,
one of which came from Boston.
Hospitals and children have been
looked after by the distributors. and SO
far 70 complaint of serious shortage
has como from any of the public insti-
tutions. Private families have received
! preference over stores, and restaurants
! and consumers have been cautioned to
conserve their supply.
In fear Of a threatened further short
age there has been a general stocking
up on the canned varieties of milk. The
farmers are holding back the product
of their dairies to compel the big dis
tributers here to pay higher prices.
: War Spreads Throughout State.
The milk war. which originated with
the organization of the Dairymen's
League, has spread throughout the
state. Reports from all parts Of New
York tell of thousands of gallons of
milk spilled in combats between the
dairymen and the employees of the dis
tributers, the picketing of crossroads
in dairy districts. farmers held up and
beaten, and the Establishment of cheese |

Twenty deputies have been sworn in
in Duchess county to prevent raids of
farmers upon their neighbors to compel |
them to hold back their product. This |

A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
ny FRANCES cOwLEs. The FOulke Family

Copyright 1916, by the McClue News
 paper Syndicate.)
 Had the members of the family of Foulke been a little bit more inclined to precision in spelling the task of the geneal logists would have been somewhat easier. For the spellings in this country are yariously given as Foll1e, Folk, Fawke, Foulkes and Folkes. In general, however, it can be said that the FoIke and Folk family are of southern descent and come from England and those spell ing the name Foulke come from Pennsyi vania and trace their origin to Wales.
 The English family were early settled at Brewood, Staffordshire county, Eng land It is said that a senior branch of the family received knightly honors in Palestine for heroic deeds in the Cru sades. They originally came from Foulkes, in Normandy and came to Eng land at the time of the Norman con quest.
 The coat of arms given here is that ot the southern branch of the family and is used also by the English members o1 the family of the StanoFdshire connec- ton. The arms are described thus; Ar gent, fesse between three mullets sa- ble. The fesse, which indicates mili- tarv belt is a token of valor. The null lets. or stars, indicate a gift iron heaven, as some God-given virtue Ar gent or silver indicates peace and sln- cerity. and sable, or black, is the sym bol either of constancy or grief

ature on the war was strongly resented.
 Until the war began all English books sold in Sweden were purchased through German publishing houses at Leipsic and all London daily and illustrated newspa- pers came from Liege, Belgium. London would not sell their wares to Swedish firms except on a cash basis. with no allowance for the return of un- sold books. German firms were only too glad to send shipments on approval and take back whatever books were not re- tained As for imported newspapers, Sweden was without English publications in the early stages of the war because it seemed impossible for the London agents to devise new way of shipping them, after the Germans occupied Liege.
 Despite the criticisms of English meth ods and English policy which can be heard throughout Sweden, there is no possibility of Sweden entering the war as an ally of Germany. Six months ago she was on the brink of war. German agents put forth every inducement to the government to cast their lot with the central powers, promising greater Swe- den which would include Finland as their reward. The Swedes have dreamed of the reconquest of Finland for generations and the fear of a Russian invasion has been a constant nightmare. war party arose i'll Sweden. inspired by German in-. trigue, and clamored for the immediate participation of the nation in the Euro pean conflict
 As long as the German army scored successes on the eastern front the war party had a strong following. At one time it seemed inevitable that Sweden would surrender to German pressure.
 Then the tide turned. and Russia's pow CTS of recuperation proved greater than her enemies had thought. The war fever diminished in Sweden. and the counsels of conservative statesmen were listened No by the extremists.

WAR PARTY WEAKENS

Today, the war party is in the minority, and growing weaker. The bulk of the ed- 'ucated classes and the army are still strongly pro-German in sympathy, but there is a growing feeling that Germany cannot actually win the war--that she cannot hope for more than compromise peace. '
 For one thing the Swedes are making too much money to go to war. New mill lionaires are already coming to the front. Obscure merchants who were satisfied with modest profits year and half ago now think in stupendous figures The mania for trading in war supplies has seized all classes of the population.

ure-and they are angry in consequence'
 Despite the embargo on many classes of foodstuffs, American shippers are mak- ing large profits on noncontraband artl- cles of a curiously diverse nature. Dried fruits from California and American tea have been going into Germany through Sweden in steadily increasing quantities One small German steamer left Malmo the other day with a cargo of apricots which netted the consignes handsome profit These shipments are thoroughly examined by Swedish inspectors, Tor some cans have been found to contain rubber and one ingenious smuggler disguised SIX tons of copper as cargo of coffee when would have reached Luebeck safely had not the customs officials at Malrno tried to lift the sacks
 Germany is scoring over Great Britain in one respect The Swedish government allows carefully regulated quantities oi foodstuffs and metals to enter Germany under reciprocity scheme which the al lies have tried vainly to defeat. Britain cuts off Sweden's supply of Cardiff coal, whereupCn Germany unloads as many tons of Belgian anthracite as can be pro- .duced by forced labor, and demands an equivalent amount of necessary imports in return. She can exchange coal for frozen beef, cocoa, leather, copper-any commodity, in fact, that she happens to

Fat backs" suggest plump sides of bacon and mo- vice might conjure up picture of hun gry German families sitting down to a square meal soon after shipment from Chicgao is unioaded at Baltic port.
 British agents, however discovered that the fiat backs were not destined for the breakfast table, but arrived eventu- ally to German factories where they were pressed for glycerine. The Swedish gov ernment has been prevailed upon to pre- vent shipments and several cargoes have been seized or turned back. Representa- tives of American packing houses can now be found at Gothenburg gnawing their nails and making speeches to each other about the rights of a neutral na- ton to export what she likes.
 MAKES SWEDES FURIOUS
 The activity of British commercial agents has made the Swedes furious. Some of them have acted as though they owned Sweden. Their ostentatious "shad- owing" of suspected merchandise unload ed in this country resulted in several of them being summarily expelled.

Mrs L P C. writes as follows T would like very much to have you tell me something of the origin of the name Palmer, also of the coat of arms if there is any. We have been told that the first of that name came to this country on the Mayfiower and that the name is one of seven inscribed on Plymouth Rock in early days. Is this a fact?"
 Although the Palmers were early set tiers of Plymouth colony, they dld not come over in the Mayfiower, as the name does not appear in the list of 102 who arrived in that famous bark
 However, William Palmer arrived in' Plymouth colony in 1921 on the For tune" He was accompanied by his wife.
 Frances, and his son, William. In l627 the names of this family appear in all list of the inhabitants of Plymouth in a record of a division of cattle, It IS
 said that William Palmer was a na- tive of Northampton, England. One family record, apparently erroneously, says that William and his wife Frances and son William arrived on the Anne in 1923. A coat of arms of the English family is blazoned thus; Argent, on two sable three trefoils, slipped of the sec ond, in chief greyhound courant of the first, collared or crest: grey hound sable.

Answers to Correspondents

To A. R. C., who asks for the origin or the names Knight and Coate.
 Probably the name Knight was derived from the Anglo-Saxon word that meant a servant or military follower, rom which the title of the same spelling was derived The name Coate is derived rom the parishes so named in the couhtles ol of GIoueester. Lincoln, York, etc.
 To W. w w, who asks for origin and coat of arms of the name Will sire x,,,,
 This name, with Wilsher and VII. shere are derived from the county or Wiltshire The coast of arms IS blazoned thus: Per chevron, azure ana or in chief six crosses crosslet or the second. The crest is lion rampant, gules, maned proper.

To E. B. L., who asks for something of the LaRue family. the coat of arms etc.
 I find that the first settler of the name LaRue in this country was John George Larue, native of Switzerland, who emigrated to this country about 1740 and settled in Lancaster, Pa,, his descendants gong from thence to varl- ous southern states and elsewhere Tn this country The only coat of arms that I have been able to find for the family of the name in Switzerland IS described thus in the language Of the French heralds: "D'azure, au lion nals- sant. d'argent, tenant entre ses pattes mn rose du mame." That is blue shield on which is the upper part or a lion colored silver, holding between ms paws a rose of silver. The name was originally de la Rue and there are families of that name in Normandy, Paris, Brussels and other continental localities. In England there is a faml- ly called Rue that was originally de Ia Rue The coat of arms for this English family is: Argent, on bend between two cotises, sable, three mullets Of the field.
