NO FURTHER RISE
IN PRICE OF MILK
Present Rates Remain in Force
Until January I, Says
Food Board.
PROBE STARTS MONDAY
Distributors Say No OppOsi-
ton Will BE Offered to
Inquiry.

Milk prices. which were boosted
twice to the consumer during Novem-
her, are not to be increased in Deem
Der. The Federal Food Board announced
yesterday that the present prices will
remain in force until the last day
Of the year Grade B bottled is now
selling at II cents a quart and IL
cents a pint and Grade A bottled. IL
cents a quart and IL cents a pint.
Farmers always expect the highest
price for milk in the country during
December of any month in the
year, and this December they will re-
ceive an increase OF IS cents 100
pounds from the New York distributors
over the price they are receiving
now. This will make the producers
price at the country milk station S4.O6
for 3 per cent. milk, an increase APP
proximately one-half a cent a quart
over November prices.
"'The decision OF the distributors to
carry this increase without correspond
ing increase in the price to the pub
lie was voluntary on their part" the
Federal Food Board officially re-
ported, "and was reached after SOW
eral conferences between the distribu-
ters and the representatives OF the
United States Food Administration IN
Washington"
Money Lost. Say Farmers.
Officials of the Dairymen's League
insist that the farmers have lost
money on every quart Of milk they
sold to distributors at tho producers
prices fixed by the Food Administra-
ton. II was explained at the time, be-
ton for the October and November.
The increase OF one cent per quart
in the consumers price in the middle
of the month was allowed by the
Food Administration, It was explained
at the time, because OF an increase in
wages granted to employees Of dis
tributing companies by Federal con-
ciliator who adjusted differences be-
tween employer and employed.
!. Elkin Nathans. secretary of the
New York MIX Conference Board
representing the distributors of milk
said yesterday:

ITALIAN STATUS IS
VIEWED HOPEFULLY
BYLONDON PAPERS
Failure on First Day Generally
Means Fatal ReSuIt-Think
Austria Is Taking a Final
Gamblers Chance

LONDON, June 1.-THE outcome of
the Austrian offensive is viewed hope
fully, even confidently, by the newspa
pers here. This view is based on the
staunch resistance of the allied defens-
i've and the failure of the enemy to
make anything like big success in his
initial advance.
1t IS admitted that some days must
pass before the results of fighting on
such a great scale can correctly be
judged. but the conviction is firmly eX-
pressed in several quarters that it will
end in failure for the enemy.
Failure" says the Daily News, ION
the first day of these attacks as con-
Quoted on the modern German plan has
hitherto been fatal. as in the case of
Vimy ridge. and in the present case
the fact Of failure can hardly be doubt
ed"
The newspaper cites the opinion Of its
correspondent on the Italian front that
no enemy offensive up to this time has
begun SO badly, and adds:
There is strong ground for believ-
ing that an enemy failure is imminent"
The opinion is expressed by several
papers that there is a direct connection
between the initiative of the offensive
and internal conditions in Austria
Hungary. The Daily Express describes
perate that the war has seem" while
the Times declares it is "a desperate
attempt 20 keep up the waning spirits
Of such elements of the population as
still remain faithful TO the established
institutions Of the Austro-Hungarian
state"
The Daily Mail and others predict
that an Austrian failure to gain de-
cision will have serious internal ef-
fects. GermEny's hand generally is
seen behind the move. The Daily N9ws
believes that it is an offensive imposed
by Germany on an ally which long
ceased to have any part in the strus-
gle and which is sinking to a condI-
tion of internal disintOgration and de-
spair-"
The Daily Mail says:
1t can hardly escape the Austrian
peoples that they are being driven t ..
slaughter for the profit Of Germany.

Registration Of Women
Alien Enemies Begins
Monday at Atlanta

Registration of all women in At
lanta classed as enemy aliens began
Monday morning in the Office Of Bertil-
lion Expert jeff Wright at police sta
ton and will continue for ten days.
All women living in the city limits
who are natives of any of the powers
arrayed against the allies, must regis
ter. Male aliens were registered some
time ago It is expected that about 100
women in all will come under this
classification. Each registrant must
bring four photographs of herself, taken
without A headdress and against a
white background. The photographs
should be about three inches square.
About twelve women applied for reg
istration Monday morning. One of them
was a woman ffty-siX years old, who
was born in Germany. but who now has
two sons in the United States army, onr
of them serving in lance. All her pa
pers were destroyed in the Atlanta fire
and she wasn't sure whether she had
ever been natUralized or not.

NAVY PLANS To MEET
SUBMARINE MENACE
WITH PATROL BOATS
Cross Between Ford Eagle
Boat and Destroyer viii
Probably Be Built for ProteC-
ton of American Coast

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Submarine
patrol vessels, resembling a cross be-
tween a Ford EagIe-boat and a destroy
err, will be built to meet the coastal
U-boat raid danger if plans now being
urged in the navy department mate
rialize.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt, who sponsored the subma-
rine chaser plan, is the proponent OF
this new type of craft; and he is urging
on the other chiefs the need not alone
of trying out this variety, but also of
experimenting with several varieties
which can be turned out quickly.
The Eagle destroyer variety would be
about $50 feet long, constructed largely
along destroyer lines with thin plates
and speedy power. The tonnage and en-
CINE power are withheld lest they give
an indication. of the size and power of
the Eagle boats. Its cost would be half
or less of destroyeT'S. and its period
of construction would be far smaller.
Roosevelt does not claim this is a
panacea, but he is urging that. it and
other types ought to be built as an ex-
pertinent, and then. should they be sat
isfactory, should be developed coinci-
dentally with the destroyer program so
that the Atlantic coast would be suffi-
GENTLY patrolled.
Otner types ne suggests are lzV-1oot
wooden boats with system of propul-
sion cheaper than that of the subma-
rine chasers, and a 200-foot boat that
would develop speed without extreme
cost. Both these types are on lines that
could be produced quickly and cheaply
Sinking of two Norwegian ships, the
Samoa and Kringsjaa, at about the same
distance off the Virginia capes in the
closing days of last week has served to
emphasize the need for more craft. Hen
ny Ford has been asked to speed up his
Eagle-boats, and has promised reason
ably early output. 1t is unlikely, how
ever that they will be available before
midsummer or early fall.
Luck and persistence, it is said. may
bag the U-boat raiders, but it is felt
a larger patrol is needed, if the next to
impossible hunting -the-needle -in-the-
hay-stack'' problem is to 'be satisfacto-
rily ACCOMPLISHED
