Will Be First Time English Used as Official Language
 at International Meet
ECONOMIC QUESTIONS IN FRANCE COMING
 RAPIDLY TO FRONT
Hoover and Hurley Confer at Resi- dence of Colonel House on Food Distribution and Tonnage
 Problems

Paris, November 7.-((By the Associated Press. )-The question of conducting the pro- ceedings of the peace congress in English is being discussed, with some prospect that this in novation will be brought about. If it is, it will be the first great international congress. with English as the official language as French has long been recog- nized as the medium of diplo- macy.
 For practical reasons, it is said,
 the use of the English language would be more convenient to larger number of the delegates
 than French, for during the ses-
 sions of the interaIIied conference
 alI but TWO of the deIegates spoke
 English, whereas considerable z
 number did not speak French and
 were unable to understand the pre-
 ceedings when French was used.
 The printed record of the daily pro- ceedings will be in both French and English for the convenience of all, and, in addition, several of the gov ernments will probably have their own publications dealing with the develop mentS.
 HURLEY AND HOOVER
 Economic questions are coming prominently to the front in connection with the presence here of Herbert C. Hoover. the American food administra- tor, who was joined today by Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the shipping board. They conferred lengthily this afternoon at Colonel Houses residence on food distribution and tonnage.
 France needs a considerable amount of tonnage for the rehabilitation of her merchant shipping lost during the war and through enforced inactivity of her shipyards during the war.
 One plan is a governmental project involving the expenditure of approxi- mately 1,000, ,000, 900 francs.
 There has been considerable discus sion also concerning the amount of tonnage likely to come from the United States following on Captain Tardieu's statement Recently that he had been assured of 100000 tons. The presence of Mr. Hurley is giving an opportun- ity to go over these and other shipping questions.

Of this number approximately 250,000 will pass through the American lines and will be fed by the Americans. Most of the quarter of a million prisoners are French, English, Italian and American soldiers. The army, assisted by the Sal vation Army, the Young Mems Christian association and the Knights of Colum- bus, is shouldering the bulk of the task.
 The population of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg already bas been doubled by
 the arrival Of the army of occupation. The problem of feeding the former pris- oners is taxing the American troops fla cilities, owing to the new lines of com munication across No Mans Land and because the transports are getting farth- CT each day from their base of supplies

WEARING RED RIBBONS

American Army of Occupation, Sunday, November 24. D. m.-fBy the Associated Press )-While there are a few stragglers behind it, the German line in front of the American army tonight runs general ly from Bitburg, through Treves to Ober- emmel, Oberzerf and Losheim
 The number of Germans wearing red ribbons on their breasts is reported to be increasing. There have been several reports of instances where officers have been stripped of their insignia by the men or have donned private uniforms and marched with their men for their own protection. There is said to have been much dissension among the rank and file of the Germans thus far during the withdrawal. Soldiers are remaining with their attachments, owing to the fact that they will be unable to obtain food if they desert and attempt to reach home ahead of the army
 Virtually no news is being received by the soldiers from Berlin, according to reports. All the soldiers appear to be eager to reach points near home as soon as possible.
