Germany exacted billion dollars from France

This diplomacy is based upon composite Of the
theories that the end usthes the means that might

Of German spies had been working in England, France
and Russia under the direction OF the German Ambas
sailors to those countries.
While Germany was working night and day forging
the terrible weapon with which to attack these
tries, these German spies were spreading the gos-

every other conceivable way making the victims as
impotent as possible to resist the onslaught

was in GermaDys path. Germany dsregarded her

who send or bring the milk to this
city. Fifty of the farmers raise and
sell their own milk by disposing Of it
in the city instead Of shipping it to
dealers. This milk is seldom twelve
hours old at the time il is delivered
to the consumer and is consequently
in good condition.
The daily supply of milk shipped
into and used in this city, according
TO Emil Ulrich. inspector, is about
$4,000 quarts. He says that this

the standard required by law. This
requires that the milk have a GER
