CAN KEEP 100000 ABROAD.
That's the Limit with Our Available

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.-The United
States government cannot maintain
more than 100000 or 100000 men in
France, according to war department
estimates, with all of the ship tonnage
in sight, including the British ships that
are now building in American ports. This
consideration forms the basis for the
position Of the shipping board in declin-
ing to give assurance that the 1000, ,000
tons of British owned shipping now
building in this country will be returned
lat least at the close of the war.
The shipping board holds that the ton

in America. The transportation OF

HARDLY MAKE TWO
CENTS A QUART
Spokesman for Milk Retailers Says
Their Profit Is Not as Large as
Appears to Consumers.

Retail milk dealers take exception to
the statement that they are making a
profit Of three cents a quart. A. j.
Tate, speaking in their behalf, outlined
to Reformer reporter this forenoon
just the reasons why this is not so.
Where they arc now paying six cents a
quart to the producer and peddling the
milk from the can at nine cents and
in bottles, 10 cents, Mr. Tate SAYS it
looks to the consumer as if their mar
gin was greater than it really is, but
that this is not so.
retailer may buy 100 quarts Of
milk, continued Mr.. Tate, .'but he
can t bottle it as the shrinkage will be
fully one-half cent on every quart
On the other hand p per cent Of our
business is to stores, soda fountains
etc, where we make a charge of only
seven and a half cents quart In han
ding the product there is another small
loss and then we arc obliged to stand
for occasional souring Bottles and
caps cost MONEY and they are higher
today than ever before. Another thing
the consumers are not careful about re-
turning bottles and there is another loss
which we have to stand During the
hot weather we must have ice and fur.
ther every dealer must also keep tive
horses we, have to buy grain as well
as the producers Taking everything
into consideration we hardly make two
cents a quart.
There will be meeting of the retail
erS next Saturday evening TO take ac
tion made necessary bv the raise il
ipricr of one cent quart by the produc
ers beginning Oct. II.
