Paris, Jan. 5.-France Is preparing
definitely to act alone or with Belgium
TO seize productive guarantees from Ger
..gany following the inevitable default
on January 10. .-....
The seizure will be as little of a
military character as possible. At the
request of the French government the
Preparations committee meets today to
discuss and probably announce the vol
untary Germany default in coal deliver
les. 1t will also probably discuss the
Whether the British member of the
commission will attend is uncertain.
The breakup of the premier's con-
ference came because of the unwilling
ness of the French to discuss the
British plan and the unwillingness of
the British TO discuss the French plan.
The conference was unique in that there
were no private negotiations between
the British and French premiers. Both
were firm as adamant.
Belgium and Italy, although with
some reluctance. supported the French
rather than the British plan. The
French and British governments both
express themselves as still profoundly
attached to the necessity even in dis
agreement of preserving the entente, but
the future in this respect is obsucre.
Support Each other at Lausanne.
There is no reason to assume that
France for the present will discon-
tinue her loyal support of Great Brit
ain at Lausanne. On the other hand,
it seems almost certain that Great
Britain must now withdraw. at least
: temporarily, from continental affairs
and devote herself more Pssiduously than
ever TO seeking q close understanding
with the United States reinforced by
which she might once more be in a posi-
ton to re-enter the pos.tics of the con-
tinent.
The break came because the French
insist upon the necessity of Selling pro-
ductive guarantees from Germany with
out more delay, while the British insist
that such seizure will prevent the re-
covery of German credit and hence will
defeat it's own ends financially. The
French do not share in this opinion
They believe that the only way to get
anything out Of Germany is to put real
pressure upon the great German indus
trials, who IRE the invisible government
in that country.
French Firmly United.
The reports spread in the United
States that the provincial French news
papers and the people in the French
provinces are opposed in any fundamen-
tai respect to Premier Poincare's for
eign policy is absolutely misleading.
Most of the great provincial newspapers
belong to the radical party and oppose
NJ. Poipcare in matters of interior
politics, but the French people, as a
whole are virtually unanimous in ap-
proving Poincare's policy in the repa-
rations crisis.
Even the Socialists find the British
plan utterly unacceptable and, but for
n few extreme radicals who suggest re-
ferring the whole controversy to the
League of Nations. they see no re-
course for France in the face of what
all consider to be Germany's evident
ilI-will except the seizure Of securi-
ties.

Opening the program, Professor
John c. Gray, of the Department of
Electrical Engineering and Physics.
U. S. Naval Academy, spoke upon the
subject of milk Production" His in
teresting facts were based upon per-
sonal experience as well as scientific
observation. He showed the import
ance of the greatest vigilance in
guarding against germs. by observing
strict cleanliness and steriliza'ioa of
bottles, the hands of the mixer, .hc
teats of the COW and the milk-buckets.
Another important consideration, as
he showed. is the proper cooling of
the milk, which is naturally - de-
grees, and should be reduced and kept
at 40 degrees. Above go degrees, bac-
terra rapidly propagate Pasteuriza-
tion. that is heating milk to 140 de-
grees. destroys tuberculin bacteria,
but also probably destroys vitamins
and therefore raw milk is preferable
The speaker figured in detail the cost
of milk on the four counts: feed, la
Dor, equipment and delivery. and upon
this basis declared that good milk
could be easily produced at 13 cents,
furnished to the public at 16 cents a
quart, allowing 3 cents quart profit
