New hope that the threatened
withholding" of milk from the
Detroit area may be averted was
given today when the Michigan
Milk Producers Association agreed
to submit price demands to i'm
partial arbitration.
II this arbitration is completed
by December y, it was agreed,
the farmers will abide by the
terms Of the arbitrator. Stoppage
of milk deliveries TO Detroit dis
tributors had been authorized for
December 20. an authorization
which still stands if arbitration
fails.
a second organization Of farm
ers, the United Dairy Farmers,
has threatened a milk strike by
its members on next Wednesday
unless Detroit distributors sign
exclusive contracts agreeing 10
pay So per hundrcdweight for all
milk shipped 10 them, abandoning
the base-surpluS system under
which only so-called base milk is
sold at the highest price.
Distributors say that the in
creased price would necessitate an
increase of milk to the consumer
to IA cents quart the third per
quart increase in six months.

for the operations involved.
The section of the report pre-
pared by the arny's air intel
ligence disagreed with the opinion
of the joint board that a land
invasion against Germany can be
attempted by July I, 1913.
Also contrary to the belief of
the Joint board, the air strategists
expressed the opinion that If an
air offensive is successful, a land
offensive may not be necessary.
The air intelligence report also
contains detailed plans for what
III describes as a strategic defense
in the Orient. These plans call
for 25 groups of bombers, with l.
700 planes, not including reserves,
and 81 groups Of pursuit planes,

Section Of Report
Cites Major Strategy

A section OF the report unde
the title Major Strategy of th'
United States and its Associates
states in part:
1.-THE joint board Is convinced
that the first major objective Of
the United States and its assO-
ciates should be the complete
military defeat OF Germany.
An incOncfusive peace be-
tween Germany and her present
active military enemies would
he likely to give Germany an
opportunity to reorganize con-
tinental Europe and replenish
her strength.
Even though the British
commonwealth and Russia were
completely defeated. there would
be important reasons for the
United States to continue the
war against Germany in spite
Of the greatly increased diff
Guilty of obtaining final victory.
From this IL folloUs
that the principal strote-
gic method employed by
the United States in the
immediate future should
be the material support of
the present military opera
tions against Germany and
their reinforcement by
active participation in the
Wdr by the United Safes
Uhile holding Japan in
check pending future de-
UeiOpments.
Except In the case OF Russia,
the principal strength of the
associated powers is In naval
and air categOries.
at should he recognized as
an almost invariable rule that
only land armies can likely win
wars.
"It being obvious that the
associated powers cannot defeat
Germany by defensive opera
lions. effective strategic often
sive methods other than an early
land offensive in Europe must be
employed.
"'These methods may be found
In continuation of the eco
homie blockade; the prosecution

regions where German troops
can excel only with fraction Of
their total strength; air and sea
offensives against Germany's

resources: and the support Of

"The report states that

The section on shipping esti-
mates that the transportation Of
10000 men with modern air and
mechanical equipment to Euro
pean areas over a period ef~one
year would require 100000 tons
-ei'--4 eoe- ships, and
that to maintain such a force in
the theater of operations would
require about 100000 tons, or

use of Great Britain.

Club probably the most exclusive
club in the city) decided they
would help Ed Diehl, secretary
treasurer of the Detroit Gasket
Company, raise more money than
any other old newsboy on the an
nual paper sale. day. So the II
men held a party and raised a
little more than $1,000. This was
turned over to Ed.
MEMBERSHIP LIMITED
The Peddlers Club, whose mems
bership is limited to II, is made
up of automobile parts manufac-
turers and agents. Thus their
name.
Once a year the Recess Club,
in the Fisher Building, loans the
Peddlers its quarters where the
party is held Guests play for
lprizes of liquor, fowl and other
things.
Major rule of the party Is that
there be no wives. The affair il

The club is headed by Fred
Richardson and George McWood.
The other 10 members are William
Ulrich, Jack Galbraith, Charles
Munroe, Herbert Doolittle, Lloyd
Diehl, Ernest Orling, Fred Nei-
man, Merton Lowe, Fred Hofmann
and Ed Ewing.
LARGER EACH YEAR
Since the first year when only
81, 900 was raised, the party has
grown larger each year. In 1899
the Peddlers raised $1,000. And
this year when the money is all
counted, Fred Richardson, who
1owns the Mt. Clemens Metal Prod
ucts Company, is sure that they
will raise $4,000.
Now besides Diehl the Peddlers
split their money with Old News
