Berlin, April 25.-(By Associated

one of the German delegates to the

said:
a Expect Negotiations.
I"fhe importance of the delega-
ton should be appreciated as all
indication that the imperial govern
ment reckons on real negotiations.
The contents of the latest entente
note permit the conclusion that our
opponents are in principle inclined
seriously to negotiate with US.
81 personally am optimistic
enough to hope that French reports
of the contents of the treaty are
materially inaccurate and that there
fore an acceptable preliminary peace
may be garnered within the next
few weeks, even though special de-
liberations may be protracted tor

WAR BREADFoR
EUROPE PLAN OF
FOOD COUNCIL
Increase in Milling Percentage
Will Put World Back to
Basis in Effect Dur
ing Conflict.

Paris, April 2s.-An increase in
the milling percentage, which will
virtually put the world back to a
war bread basis for the next three
months, is part of the program
adopted by the supreme food coun-
Gil, under the Craftsmanship of Her
bert {. Hoover.
The council has arranged to sup-
ply northern and central European
countries largely with rye instead Of
wheat, and for neutrals to look for
their supply mainly in Argentina
and Australia. The effect of these
arrangements is to take the pressure
off the wheat market in the United
States.
Lard substitutes will be used in
place of food products for large
sections of Europe, while oleomar-
garine factories will be started again
i'll Germany, using vegetable oils.
Some European countries have
decided to get along for the bal
ance of this year without any corn
from the Tnited States.
"Wmte Bread" in u. S.
| New York, April 25,-Americans
will continue to eat white bread,
restored late last year after months
of milling on Victory -four basis
despite the return of European
countries to war bread basis, an
nounced by the supreme food coun-
Gil, julius H. Barnes, president oi
the food administration grain cor
poration and federal food director
said today.
A survey bf wheat stocks, Mr.
Barnes said, had convinced his de-
partment that the American supply
was sufficient not only to warrant
continued production Of all wheat
-four, but to meet the export de-
mand until the next harvest.
During the war, he added, Eng
lish millers extracted 86 per cent
of the wheat berry. When the
armistice was signed more bran
was thrown out in the process, re-
ducing the extraction percentage to
II. 1t now had been restored, he
said, to IS per cent and the cor
poration's advices were to the ef-
feet that similar standard was to
be adopted for other belligerents
and liberated countries. while nett
trails sharing in the inter-allied food
distribution would be required to
take similar action.
The, Is per cent basis, the wheat
director stated, was approximately
that of the American Victory
flour" rnilled during the greater
part of the war.
