NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—The serlousness of the milk situation in Germany was outiined in a statement fssued today by Dr. Bdmund von Mach, chairman of the | citizsens’ committee for food shipments, Hungary. “It was only after incontrovertible rep- resentations of actual milk conditions in | the central empire had been made to Bacretary of State Lansing that he took | up the matter with ovr ambassadors to England and France,” sald Dr. “von | Mach. Governmental recognition was given to the milk shortage he declared, by sum- maries appearing in the official North German Gagette. These summaries show that in Berlin on October 12 it was esti- mated the milk supply would suffice only for childref up to 4 years old. It was sn- | nouneced on Nevomber 6 that milk tickets | were to bo issued in Templehof = for | ehildren up to 4 years old. On November 13 milk " tickets were being issued in | Bchoeneberg only to parents of children born singe 1912, Announcement that milk tickets were being Issued came from Strassburg on November 19, “Milk conditions have grown worse in | Germany since the dates mentioned,” the statement adds, “the shortage being raely due to the complete stoppage of American cotton seed ofl exports.” Money Contributed To the Government Is to Be Refunded BHANGHAI Dec. 10.—~Both the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications have opened their offices to refund money to subscribers of the national salvation money which subscribers gave largely for the purpose of strengthening the govern- ment under the republic had become o | archical movement that the government givers.
