Condensed Milk by Submarine Proposed for Germany
New York January 16. A submarine loaded with condensed milk could supply food to Germany Austria Hungary and Russian Poland. Dr Edmund von Mach chairs the citizen's committee for food shipments which issued a statement praising the Hague peace party. The Ford peace expedition ends as delegates depart for Rotterdam.
