Washington. May IA. - Secretary

country and the tentative arrangement
reached by representatives of the war
department and the packing industry

There has been misapprehension

informal statement. The meats in
question are specially prepared prod

kind never sold commercially in the

Paris, May IA (by the Associated

peace conference appointed this after
noon n subcommittee comprising one
member from each of the five great
powers (Great Britain France. Italy,
the United States and Japan to deal
with objections and proposals from
the German peace plenipotentiaries.
The council of four held n meeting
this morning considering problemh
relative to ports and waterways and
some details of the Austrian treaty
1t Is presumed that the German note
which was reported to have been de-
livered last evening was also taken
up by the council.
The three German notes delivered
to the council of four, the Havas
agency says, deal with the following
subjects:
THE first. the effect of the peace
terms upon Germany's economic sit
uation; the second. with the manner
in which President Wilson's points are
applied, which is protested against,
and the third. with the principles of
the reparation demands, which are
protested, although II Is declared that
Germany is prepared to subscribe to
them.

war and labor subjects we're delivered
this afternoon.

dealing with economic clauses of the
treaty, declares THAI they mean the

they would not be available for ordin-

the whole question over with the

possibility that we may be able to dis
pose of substantial quantities of food
supplies in institutions where bulk

be sought and so far as possible food
and clothing will be sold in this coun-
try.
There has been no agreement with
the meat packers with regard to the
distribution of meat supplies, but they
have suggested that the most prac-
tical thing would be to. sell these sup
plies in Europe, instead of disposing
of them in this country because OF the
fact that they are packed for trans
portation across the ocean. In this
way 1t would not be necessary for the
packers to prepare other food for
transportation while the present sup
ply is being distributed in this coun.

consideration. Their contents have
not been made public.

Hate dictated these peace terms.
