his fight against the sales OF unliesn-
sed milk when he received an appIica-
ton for 500 license blanks from the
MerrillSoule Company. Syracuse.
N Y.
The Merrsll-soule Company sends
hundreds OF gallons OF milk into
Washington daily from 500 farms ln
New York State. Heretofore the Mer-
rili-SOule shipments have consisted
entirely Of unlicensed cream and
milk said DP. Fowler
There will be q large gap created
In the shipments of unlicensed milk
into Washington, when the farms of
the Merrill-Soule territory are grant
ed licenses" DR.. Fowler told Tha
Times" The inspection OF the farms
after the applications are filled cut
and returned 20 Washington win taxa

PEACE DELEGATES
HURRY THEIR WORK
First Gathering Of Premiers Held
in Wilson's Study

Paris, March 25, (By the Assoclat-
ed PreSs) In President wilson
study at the Paris "White House. oc-
CURED today the first gather1nS OF
premiers under the plan proposed by
the president, that continuous meet
ings be hel until great questions
which have been obstructlng the early
conclusions of the peace treaty should
be resolved. The session began at IL
o'clock this morning, was resumed att
err lunch and continued into the eve
nine with no other councils or con-
ferences to disturb the attention of
the president and the premiers. 1t
marked the initial step by this super
council in taking direction of affairs
and in meeting apprehension due to
the revolution blazing up in eastern
Europe.
1t is expected that many sharp di-
vergencies will have been recOnclied
before the next meeting OF the coun-
Gil of n as tine four conferees intend
to continue their work until this is
accomplished. Mr.. Wilson and the
premiers spent q large part of the
day Oh the questions of PREPARATIONS by
Germany ar an early disposal of this
problem YVES expected when the meet
ing began.
The Russian situation, particularly
in relation to the political upneaval in
Hungary, was considered. at today's
conference and it was understood that
boundary questions would also be
taken up.
During the day the Hungarian re-
volt and it's effect in bringing Bolshc-
vism into central Europe was also,
without doubt, examined, as experts
had prepared q huge map showing
the vast extent of BolShevik authority
which now embraces virtually half of
Europe. On this map heavy red lines
mark the outer limits of BOlshevik
authority, with red arrows showing
the main avenues of advance west
ward. This lire around Russia takes
in Hungary and shows Bolshevik in
lection in parts Of Ukraine, Lithuania
and other independent sections OF
Russia.
The premiers also had access to
reports showing the extent of dlsor-
der in all sections of eastern Europe,
including private reports of a grave
character concerning regions in the
southeastern part of the continent
and around Odessa which have not
as yet been made public.

CONFERENCE WANTS
ONE BIG TREATY
Move to Have Germany, Austria,
Turkey and Bulgaria Included
In Same Terms.

Paris, March 25, (By the Associated
a serious effort was being made in
all the peace treaties with Germany,
Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria, thus
making one comprehensive treaty in
which Germany would be linked with
the other central powers as their
responsible head. ...
While such a step would cause some
delay yet the American and British
leaders here feel that it would save
time in the end in completing the
work on all the peace treaties. The
inclusion of Austria in comprehen-
sive treaty would be particularly &C
ceptable to Italy, which has resented
the conclusion of terms with Germany
in a, document which failed to deal
with Italy's interests in Austria.
The movement for a single treaty
with all the four powers probably
grows out of Premier Orlando's
strong opposition to such omission in
the first treaty of clauses dealing with
Italy's interests. The plan has not yet
been finally determined upon and 1T
may meet with objections but the ten
dency is towards it's acceptance. 1t is
stated that the fact that the United
States is not at war with Turkey or
Bulgaria has raised no objections to
the plan.
Should the plan be adopted it is ex-
pected that the four treaties could be
linked together and completed by
