ALLIES FOREVER,
BALFOUR' AYERS
British-American War Com
pact Permanent, Premier
Tells Parliament.

London, June p.-Arthur J. Bal
four. British secretary Of foreigan sf-
fairs. gave today 70 members of the
house Of commons an account Of his
trip TO America as head Of the Brit
fsh war mission. Mr.. Balfour was
the guest OF honor at q luncheon ar
ranged by the Empire Parliamentary
Association. The head OF the BrifiSb
'mission dsclSfed that the United
States and Great Bs1ta4n would be
allies forever. stating that the war
compact would be q permanent one.
Mr.. Balfour said:
Il undertook the headship Of the
American mission with some reluct-
ance and diffidence. 1 felt it so easy
to do harm and perhapsa not 50 easy
TO do good. But looking back feel
that no harm has been done and
much good. My colleagues per
formof their various tasks with great
skill Tks which involved the bring
ing together OF the tremendous forces
of the United States and Great Brit
ain.
"The success of the mission was not
your representative, but TO far deeper
and more permanent causes, which
must give US all great cause for graft
fication. I say nothing of the hos
pitality Of the United states, which is
proverbial. need not dwell on the
boundless kindness shown US, which
was SO obviously from the heart. The
American people would have given US
that same hospitality under any cir
cumstances-
What moves me, and all OF Britain
and France, too, is something deeper
namely, the tremendous and spontane-
Gus enthusiasm of America for what
is now our common cause. and the
deep feelings OF sympathy which mani
festlv animate the entire American
community, north, south, east anc
west
Thus the mission has been the oc-
cRsion of the most beneficient develop
history of the world. Most alliances
in past history have been based on
temporary agreements between ma.
tons for the pursuit of certain aims
and ambitions. and therefore passed
with the passing occasion. But the
cooperation between England and
America, because IL is not based on
the fact that each nation hopes to
get something out OF the present war
but on a deep congruity Of ideals
Will endure as long as the two ma
tions are content to pursue These
ideals, which, 1 pray God, may be
forever.
"Our alliance Is based on a great
, moral consideration. We alike do not
wish to use war as an instrument oi
expansion, and so we here may be
certain that the United States will
are accomplished. There is nothing
am more certain of than this, that
the United States, having put its hand
to the plough, will not turn back.

MILK,
DEALERS HERE SAY
Advance of 2 to ; Cents Expected
Shortly.

Wsshingtonians will be compell-
ed to pay an increase of from 2
to cents a quart for milk within
very few weeks. according to a
number Of the largest distributors.
Twelve-cent milk has been forced
upon the distributors, they say, be-
cause Of the constantly increasing
cost of everything that enters into
the production of milk and a stead
lily decreasing supply.
We must get more money for
our product II we are to run our
business at a profit" said the man
ager of one of the largest dairies
in the District.
"One year ago we were. paying
II cents a thousand for bottle caps.
The latest figures quoted on bottles
are " a gross more tnan what we
nave been paying. Less than twelve
months ago we bought soft coal for
.N.1O a ton. Our latest purchase
cost S7.35 a ton. The increased
cost of labor Is also an important
factor in the coming advance in
price:
fronts the distributor is the de-
creasing supply. The farmers are
sending their cows to the slaugh-
terhouses, finding 1t more profitable
to dispose of animals on the hoof
at $1o0 to S125 than to raise them
for the production of milk"
MIX advanced in price last No
vember. The hot weather will re-
duce the surplus supply and 1t is
then that the dairymen expect to
revise the prices upward.
Conditions whlcn prevail in
Washington and surrounding terri
tory are general throughout the
East Tho In IN ha Z
already gone into effect in New
York and the Philadelphia dealers
have announced their prices will
advance, beginning July 1.
