D. c. OFFICIALS WIN
MILK FIGHT, IS VIEW
Promised Cooperation by
HandIerS-Price to Be
ID Cents in May.

District health department officials
won their fight for better milk at
cheaper prices.
. They have been promised the CO.
operation of both producers and dis
tributers in putting an end to the
traffic in unlicensed milk. Also, they
have been told that the price of milk
will be reduced to II cents by May l.
These developments grew out of a
series of conferences held between
Health Officer Fowler and representa-
tives of the public and the milk in
dustry. All interests involved were
represented at a joint conference
which took place at the Municipal
building last night.
Another Meeting Tomorrow.
The distributors today requested an
other NEE ting with the health officer
which will be held tomorrow after
noon. 1t is not anticipated, however
that this will lead to developments
in conflict with the agreements pre-
viously reached.
According to assurances given Dr.
Fowler by the producers they will re-
fuee to sell licensed milk to any local
licensed farms. This in itself is re-
garded as a deathblow to the un-
licensed vendor.
Distributors likewise have promised
the heaHs officer that they will not
sell the unlicensed product.
Cut Price on May l.
Some Of the largest distributors in
the city agreed at last nights con-
ference to reduce the retail price of
milk from Is cnts to IA cents a
quart by May 1. While they spoke
only .. themselves. DR.. Fowler is
convinced that other dealers will be
forced to meet the lower price.
The entire milk situation both as
to quality and prices has been i'm
mensely improved through the CO.
operative action of the producers and
distributors" said DR.. Fowler today.
THE public's interest in this matter
has been immeasurabiy advanced"
Consumers were represer ted at last
nights meeting by Mrs. F. L. Ransome,

ciated governments for losses and
damage caused in the war plus
other billions to be determined by a
special commission on which Ger
many Is to be represented
This Is the final and definite con-
clusion which has been reduced to
writing after weeks Of negotiation
which took wide range and in
volved frequent changes and modif1-
cations. The payment of the hundred
billion marks is to be divided into
three distinct amounts as follows:
First, twenty billions within two
years.
Second, forty billions during thirty
years beginning in 1921.
Third, forty billions when a COM
mission shall determine how it shall
be done.
Authoritative Statement.
In view of the fluctuations through
which the negotiations have passed. an
authoritative statement was obtained
today concerning the final terms of the
settlement. This sums up the condi-
tions as follows:
Germany is at the outset held gen.
orally responsible for losses and dam
ages, N accordance with President
Wilson's fourteen points and the al
lied response at the time the armistice
was concluded. To determine the ex-
tent or the payment unOer this reSpOn
sibility a commission is set up to take
testimony. assemble data and arrange
all details of the payments from the
enemy and distribution among the al
lied and associated powers.
While the commission will admin
lister the details Of the payments. suf-
ficient is known to permit the deter
mination that an initial payment
will be required of twenty billion gold
marks. payable in two years without
interest. It has also been determined
that forty billion gold marks shall be
payable in bonds extending over
period of thirty years, beginning 1921.
with sinking fund beginning in 1926.
Will Draw Interest.
These forty billion marks draw 2Aa
per cent interest from 1921 to 1926
and per cent interest after 1926.
In addition to the foregoing pay
ments Germany also will be required
to deliver additional bonds for forty
billion marks when the commission
determines that this shall be done
These three payments of twenty. forty
and forty billions, bring the total to
one hundred billion gold marks.
Beyond this total, the commission is
empowered to fix anything further
that may be required to cover Ger
many's Indebtedness.
I'm other words" concluded the
eminent American authority, who
~ramed the terms and furnished the
