PRICE OF BEEF IS
 EXPECTED TO DROP
Decline Within Next Few Days Is Predicted by the American
 Packers Assn.

Chicago, May 31.-A decrease in the price of beef is imm ediately at hand according to a statemen issued today by the bureau of public relations American Packers association.
 "Despite the fact that beef is al- ready cheaper than pork, poultry and mutton, it probably will decline fur ther within the next few days" said the statement. There are several reasons: Cheaper grass-fed cattle which heretofore have not been plenty, are now being m owed to market Fx- ports of beef from the United States have practically ceased. The reason is obvious. It lies in the fact that ap- preciable time elapses between ar rival of cheaper steers at markets and the appearance of beef from these steers on the consumers tables. The retailer cannot lower his price until he replenishes his stock of beef at the reduced figures expected.
 But from all indications, it seems fairly certain that although depletion of European beef and unprecedented demands will hold meat prices above normal, nevertheless. a decrease in the wholesale and retail prices of beef is imm edately at hand"

Objections Are Answered.

Paris, May 31, (By Associated Press. )--Most of the objections raised in the German counter proposals have. in the opinion of French dip lomatic and political circles, already has been set forth in separate Ger man notes and duly answered by the Allies. Consequently, it is said, there can be no modification of the peace terms and there is no necessity for verbal discussions in which the Der lin governments desire to involve the Allied powers.
 It is understood that the council of four will agree in taking this view in answering the Germans.
 Additional Notes Barred.
 The German peace delegation has been notified that the period of de- lay for presenting observations hav- ing expired at 3 p. m. Thursday, no further notes will be accepted from the delegation.
 It became known today that the German counter proposals were ac- companied by covering letter of ten typewritten pages. The letter appar entlv is the work of Count von Brockdorff- Rantzau, as it is more cOnciliatory and adroit than the counter proposals which were elabo- rated by the Berlin government. The letter paints a most gloomy picture of the fate to which the peace terms condemn Germany. It refers to the sacred character of treaties. The let ter disavows the treaty made with Russia at Brest-Litovsk, and con- cludes with the following phrase:
 we shall only undertake those obligations which we are sure of keeping, because it is the German neople who in the last resort will give It's assent to the treaty.

MEN OF SCIENCE PUZZLED |
Find 1t Hard to Account for the
Erratic Movements of Deep
Water Fish.

The erratic movements of fish are
a constant source of worry to scien-
lists, who, try as they will, can never
account for the vagaries of these sea-
jewellers. Here is a case in point: In
May, 1879, the fishing schooner Hutch
ings, sailing from Gloucester, Mass,
was under the command of Captain
Kirby, TRAVELLING for cod off Nantucket.
A strange fish came up in the nets, a
large creature covered with yellow
spots. The men caught over two tons
and brought them to land, where they
were found to be an entirely new fam
lily. Scientists named them title fish"
For three years, till 1882, the fish were
caught in huge numbers, then the
bankers" reported that they were no
longer to be seen. The news came that
the sea was covered with dead tile
fish. Six thousand square miles of sea
were almost hidden by the dead bodies
Authorities said that there must have
been q volcanic disturbance or else
some deadly disease had killed off the
fish. In 1915 a schooner working in
the same waters, caught the tile fish in
abundance, and to this day the fish
are there in millions.
