All have caught the spirit OF energy
which shoots through the Hoover per-

smoothly and enthusiastically. Hoover

MR.. HOOVER COMES TO TOWN

Nobody else-at least It defes the
memory to recall a paralleI-has ever
come to Washington in circumstances
quite like these that brought Herbert
C. Hoover here.
War was declared on April 8, and
Mr.. Hoover was promptly called to
service by President Wilson. Quickly
he arranged for the management OF
the Belgian relief commission, gath
cred food statistics in England of
value to him in future work, and on
April 81 was standing on the deck OF
liner moving slowly out of Liver
pool.
The ship was halted outside the
harbor by the admiralty and held
there for three days. an exasperating
delay to a man anxious to get home
to begin the work to which he had
been summoned. Finally. the vessel
crept out and. passing northward al
most as far as the Arctic Circle. man
two submarine mines fastened to-
gether by fifty-foot cable.
Hoover Didn't Stop.
Twelve days OF such a journey and
one would suppose a man worn out
and anxious at least for a good
nights sleep. on landing in New
York.
But Hoover didn't stop.
He took the midnight train that day
for Washington, climbing into an
upper berth in a crowded Pullman.
Next morning he was having a con-
ference at breakfast with officials Of
the Department OF Agriculture! He
had telegraphed them of his coming,
and from that morning on, confer.
ences in the temporary offices estab-
lished in his rooms in the Willard
Hotel continued for nearly two weeks,
all day long and far into the night.
Two thousand letters had accumu-
lated, some referred to him already
by the White House and Government
departments for reply, others inqulr-
ing directly for information about
prospective food control, or contain
ing suggestions from the canning
trades, the millers, the flour men, and
that great army OF Americans whose
business II is to feed the nation and
the world. Hoover had with him only
Ben Allen, whom he drafted from the
Associated Press Bureau in London,
and the stream Of callers was stem
med, diverted. and drained by Allen
with a suavity typically Californian.
Came From California.
1t was from California that Hoover
himself came originally before he
won fame as an international mining

There was. for instance. Miss Sally
Splint, OF Today's Housewife, who
brought a suggestion that was
promptly acted upon for the mobili-
cation OF the editors OF women's mag
azines. From this grew a division on
home economies. with several women
editors giving four and ave days a
week to the United States Govern
ment's campaign.

Another Mining Engineer.
Another thing with which Mr..
Hoover wanted to keep in constant
communication was the neutral re-
lief committees OF Belgium.
Edgar Richard, a mining engineer
from California, who was drafted by
Mr.. Hoover in London to be secretary
of the American Commission for the
Relief OF Belgium, was called to
Washington ITO cooperate with w. L.
