British Admiralty. per Wireless Press).-
The German secretary for foreign at
fairs. DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann,
speaking before the main committee of
the reichstag, said he could not venture
to say what would be the immediate
outcome Of the papai steps toward peaee,
peace. r ~
''This courageous initiative Of the
Pope" said the secretary, will mark
an epoch In the history Of this tremen-
dous battle Of nations and will appear
as an unfading page In the annals of
Vatican diplomacy. Tho Pope threw
the word peace into the turmoil of
battle at time when events threatened
to transform Europe into place Of
blood-stained ruins.
Germany Welcomes Move.
"The German people and the German
their strength and internal security al
ways made 1t easy for them to empha-
size their willingness to conclude an
honorable peace, have reason to well
come gratefully the initiative of the
curia, which made it possible for them
to set forth again their national policy
in a clear. unambiguous manner. I
say Intentionally national policy as I
hope and believe the reply of the Ger
man government. both as regards its
form and contents. embodies the de-
sires of an overwhelming majority of
the Germans.
For our purely German development
the note is also a landmark It is the
first result of the collaboration between
all the factors of the government and
the representatives of the German par
lament. That has been attempted here
for the first time and with a cordiality
that has no precedent, so far as I can
see. even in purely parliamentary

PRODUCERS OF milk
0FFERCOMPROM|SE
Selling Price Fixed at 33 1-2
Cents a Gallon, Dealers Are
Informed.
ISSUE STILL is UNSETTLED

Decision of the milk dealers in Wash
ington that they would not pay more
than 80 cents a gallon for milk after
october l was met by a counter pro-
posa1 on the part of the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Association
last night. an offer to fix the price at
33 b cents a gallon. instead of at 35
cents as originally planned.
Several Washington dealers. who were
present at the meeting of the execu
tive committee of the producers asso-
citation. left without indicating what
action the dealers would take. saying
they were not authorized to make any
compromise. From the temper of some
of the dealers late yesterday, the in
dfcations are that milk war" is not
unlikely. Several of them said they did
not expect to pay wholesale price
that would compel a retail price of Is
cents a quart, and that milk could not
be sold at IA cents quart if the whole
sale price were more than 80 cents a
gallon.

Airplanes Hard to Check.
The defenses of England against at
tack have proved to be almost as ef-
fective against airplanes as they were
against Zeppelins. which have practi-
cally retired from business since the
death of their inventor. But the fact
that airplanes can scatter and present
such small target makes them more
difficult to deal with.
This is shown by the experience OF
one British squadron in France, which
has carried out lib raids in five months
and has lost only four machines.
The method of putting up an aerial
shrapnel barrage around London, with
numbers of heavy guns firing continu-
ously, gives nervous people the idea that
a great raid is on. whereas two of the
noisiest nights which London has ex
perienced. Monday and Tuesday. of this
week, involved small casualty lists.

Consumer Has No Choice.

Apparently 1t will make small diff
ference to the consumer whether the
price is 33s cents a gallon to the dis
tributer or 35 cents. for in either case
the price Is expected to be cents a
pint and Is cents a quart on the door
step. Dealers pointed out yesterday
that to accept the producers figure of
35 cents a gallon and retail milk at
10 cents a quart would leave them a
larger margin of profit than to buy at
81 cents gallon and sell at IA cents
quart. They proposed the latter fig
ure, however, to avoid a curtailment
of consumption, and because they said
they did not believe an increase of IL
cents gallon over the present price
of "a cents was~justified.
Producers at yesterdays meeting in
sisted that even at 35 cents a gallon
there would be no profit in milk at the
present prices of feed and labor. but
said they split the difference" with the
dealers and make a concession of ~
cents a gallon rather than precipitate
a fight
Believes Dealers Will Consent.
D. A. Slaughter. president of the Pro-
ducers Association. said after the meet
ing that he was confident the dealers
"oulo dSTcc 10 lHe price OF cents.
I'VE have come forward in the
frankest manner and met the dealers
half way" said Mr.. Slaughter, de
spite the fact that it means selling milk
approximately at cost, and l cannot be-
lieve that Washington dealers will re-
fuse to see the reasonableness of what
we ask"
The price of 33h cents applies to
milk Of 3h per cent butterfat content,
whereas the original price asked was
35 cents. The scale Of advance for
milk of higher butterfat content Is the
same as under the original request,
cents for full point butterfat This
means that per cent milk will sell
for 351z cents, wholesale instead of
81. and Y per cent milk will sell for
37a cents rather than 80.

Notice to tho Public,

For many years past the fourth
Sunday in May has been big day at
Salem Baptist church. For two or
three years it has been a source of
great annoyance to church-goers of
the Salem section that parties coming
to the church in automobiles drive
directly to the church, the machines
frightening many horses and mules
and frequently causing them to run
away and endanger life and destroy
property. In order that this unpleas-
antness may be avoided arrangements is
have been made for the parking Of
all automobiles In the two-acre lot OF
Messrs. Talley and Littleton Cat Tai
ley's store), convenient to the church,
and yet far enough away not to dis
turb worshippers or frighten horses
on the hitching grounds. A reliable
person will be stationed at the park
ing lot to look after the machines and
see that they are not mOlested by
any one maliciously or mischievously
inclined. The public is requested to
take note Of this parking place and to
avail themselves Of it. Doing so will
very materially assist the worship
ers at Salem, and will be the means
of doing away with much worry to
numerous people as we'll as avoiding
a most unpleasant disturbance Of the
church services.
