Hoover Calls on Wilson.
Herbert C. Hoover, American food
/ administrators, and Edward N. Hurley.
| chairman of the American shipping
| board, called on President Wilson by
appointment yesterday. Mr.. Hoovers
| visit was in connection with the great
problem of provisioning sections of Eu-
rope where great food shortage exists
| or is threatened as the result of the
| oyerrunning of the country by German
| troops or by exhaustion and inabil-
| ity of the inhabitants TO find labor to
| till the soil.
Suggestions that relief work in the
sections be, placed in the hands of an
international committee have come
from some entente countries. but IL
| now seems assured that the original
/ plans of the administration in this
/ matter will be adhered to. 1t is prob.
able that the work of supplying food
| will be retained under one head in
| the interest of rapidity of action and
| efficiency. The head, it seems certain
| will be Mr. Hoover, who has prepared
tentative plans for the extension OF
| the machinery he already has created
| for the relief of devastated portions OF
Belgium and France.
Support PIeases Wilson.

from fifty Americans and beg that
you will thank them very warmly for
