Paris, April 23.—(By Associatcd Press)——Germany, instead of either agreeing or refusing to transfer the gold reserve of the Reichsbank to oc- cupled territory in the Rhineland, as the Allled reparations commission had demanded, has offered to agree not to export or permit the exportation of gold from Germany before Octo%er next.

The note was signed by Dr. von Oertzen, for the war burden commis- sion. It pointed out that the removal of the Reichsbank’s gold would act further to repreciate German exchange ,and furthermore that the goll reserve was not directly under the control of the ministry of finances but was pri- vate property. The transfer, the note contended, would not serve as a’ guarantee for reparations payments, as the commis- sion seemed to think, as the deprecia- tion in exchange growing out of it would result in a generai economic weakening of Germany.

The new forces, to be hired Mon- day morning, will take up newly pro- Jjected street works. A few will be | placed at work for the water board.

More than 40 milk producers have combined under the name of the Farmers’ Milk company and have the irogan & Hatfield on South Main street, known as the Cedar Hill Dairy com- pany, for the purpose of carrying on | | a milk exchange. | entirely new one in this section of the The project is an state although it has been successful- Iy tried elsewhere. The milk produc- ers who are interested in the company represent practically all who sell for consumption in this city and include Berlin, Newington, Forestville, Bristol and Unionvilla dealers. G. A. Lawson has been secured as manager of the new concern which is to begin operations next week, and directors have been named as follows: Alex Smith of Southington, B. B. Al- lyn of Kensington, W. C. Shepherd of | Berlin, John MclInerney of Berlin, Alexander Bruce of Berlin and Ed- ward H. Kelly of Unionville. The product from the various farms will be daily transported to the South Main street plant where it will be sold to the milkmen who make de- liveries in this city. In this way the profits of the middleman will be elim- inated and ultimately will work for a reduction in the price of milk, it is explained. Because of the completely equipped plant which will be at the disposal of the Farmers' Milk company, a first- class product is guaranteed. The plant was originally built and oper- ated by the late Theodore Stanley. It was later taken over by Grogan & Hatfield. Included in the equipment is the machinery necessary for proper clarification, sterilization and pasteur- ization. In addition to the elimination of the ! middleman’s slice from the milk prof- its the dealers anticipate that they will be in a position to further reduce selling costs by rearranging routes throughout the city. Instead of sev- eral teams covering one street, it is expected that agreements can be made whereby streets may be chopped up into “milk beats.” U. S.

In commenting upon the American reply to ' the German appeal to act as arbitrator of reparation questions the news- paper says: “Mr. Harding’s reply to Germany is regarded here as a sign that the United States government is ready its attitude of aloofness to European affairs.” The Yorkshire Post of Leeds says the last sentence of the Ameri- can reply to Germany arouses the feeling that the “new American ad- ministration may be trying to open gently the door for a return to the Allied couneil and this impression is strengthened by the hint re- ceived a few days ago that under certain circumstances the United States might send an observer to the next meeting of the supreme council.” HOLD UP FRUSTRATED Messenger of Wolverine Motor Com- Problems pany at Bridgeport Battles With Assailant—Saves $4,000 Payroll.
