ARGENTINE MAY
BREAK RELATIONS
AT ANY MOMENT
BY CHARLES STEWART.
UNITED Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT

BUENOS AIRES. July 14.-The Ger
man minister to Argentine sneering gly
referred to Argentines ships which have
been lost through torpedoing by Ger
man submarines as rat traps"
This became known today when it was
stated on high authority that the break
with Germany which has long been
threatening is now only matter of
hours. Formal severance of relations
with Berlin was expected at any time.
The German minister was understood
to have made this remark to the presi-
dent of Argentine in the course of a
conference. Argentine so far has failed
to receive any reply from Berlin on its
ultimatum but there must be immedi-
ate settlement of damage for the sink
ing of Argentine ships.

BIG MILK MERGER
PLANNED IN CITY
TO LOWER PRICE
Sheffield Farms Head Says That
Smaller Concerns May Be
Taken Over

A consolidation of milk companies
IN this city is under way which will
eventually bring milk prices down to
normal This announcement was made
Yesterday by Lotion Horton, president
Of the Sheffield Farms Slawson Deck
or Company. who said that his concern
was negotiating for the purchase OF
several of the smaller dairy firms here.
According TO him, il the plans which
his company has IN mind are COM
0leted. New York will buy its milk al
he old prices once more.
THE present high cost cannot last
Mr.. Horton predicted.
Several of the smaller concerns sd
mitted yesterday that they were con
sidering selling out to the Sheffield
company. Among the firms which the
Sheffield is considering taking over is
the Campbell Milk Company, the larg
est In Brooklyn.
With a few great companies control
ling the milk supply here, it would be
possible, dairymen say, 10 reduce the
price considerably.
Concentration would eliminate q
great amount of duplication IN the
delivery of milk and would place the
entire business on d simpler and more
economical basis.
81 feel" said Mr.. Horton. that if
we arc permitted 70 consolidate GER
tain economies will be effected which
will enable New York TO get its milk
as cheaply as any city in the country.
The time has passed when the cry
can be raised against trusts. The de-
mand for destructive competition has
passed, and it is now possible for cap
ital to be invested safely in legitimate
business in order to bring abouy the
