Bremen, April 23-Seven hun
dred mich cows, the gift of Ameri-
can farmers, are sick with Texas
fever. They will not be distributed
to the inland cities, according to
the allotments recently agreed
upon, because of the danger Of in

Berlin, April 23.-The cargo Of
milch cows recently donated by
Americans to Germans represents
an American market value of $780,.
900, including the cost of transpor.
tation, according to Vorwaerts. This
figure, it adds, is equivalent to 49,
0O0, 900 marks, whereas the same
number of COWS would cost here
5000 900 marks.
Vorwaerts approves the plans
now under way for the United
States to replace shipments O.
COWS with good fodder which i
states is sorely needed, as the mill
yield of the average cow in Ger
many has decreased from the for
mer yield of about ten litres tt

JAPAN TO Make
CONCESSIONS

Washington, April 23.-(United
Press.)-Japan is prepared to make
concessions to the United States in
the dispute over the island of zap,
according to authoritative opinion
here today. However. this will not
be done for some time.
Despite reports from Toxic that
Japan will remain obdurate in in
sisting upon the validity of the
mandate over Yap, it was learned
here that high Japanese authorities
incline to view that every nation Wit
ally interested in the Yap issue must
eventually make concessions and
that no one power can have its full
claims accepted.
Japan, it is authoritatively be-
lieved, will follow a course along
this line:
lin the forthcoming reply to the
United States Japan probably will
state it's position regarding the man
date over zap remains the same
that the mandate was ailocated
properly to Japan by the allied SUI
preme council and that the Amer
ican protest against the japanese
mandate raises a question which
must be finally decided by all the
principal allied powers.
AT the next meeting Of the su-
preme council, or possibly before
japan will concede the right Of the
United States and all other nations
to free access for cable and othel
purposes to Yap and the other is.
