SOLF WANTS HOOVER
TO HELP GERMANY
Sends Another Appeal to U. S.
for Food Supplies.
By the Associated Pres.

BERLIN. Nov. 1s.-(By wireless to
London Foreign Secretary Soft has
sert a message to Secretary OF State
Lansing urgently requesting President
Wilson to give permission for q German
commission to leave Germany i'm
mediately for the United states so as TO
personally lay before the American Gov
eminent the conditions existing here and
to assure the taking OF steps q pur-
chase foodstuffs.
In his message 20 Secretary OF State
Lansing at Washington yesterday DR..
Soft. after appealing to him to intercede
with President Wilson to send peace
delegates to Thc Hague as soon as pos
sihls. in order to save the German
people from perishlng by starvation and
anarchy" suggested that Herbert c,
Hoover, the American Food Admins
traitor. be assigned 10 the task OF as
slstlng the German people. This section
OF DR.. Soils message reads:
American delegates could discuss
with the plenlpotentiaries OF the Ger
man people the details OF how the
mayuanimous help OF America could
save in time our. fatherland from the
worst. Perhaps the matter could be
put In the tried hands of Mr.. Hoover.
who has rendered such great services
In Belgium.

nlistlce conditions. the necessity OF
supplying from scanty provisions the

been received will be forthwith COM
municated to the other Governments
with which the Government Of the
United States In associated and also
to the Supreme War Council In PARIS.
TIE Government OF the United
States takes this opportunity TO sug-
gest to the German Government that
communications OF this nature which
pertain to the terna Of the armistiee
or to matters in which all the asso-
ciated Governments are interested
should be sent TO all the Governments
and not addressed alone to the Presi-
dent or Government OF the United
States.
The Government OF the United
States also desires TO call the atten-
ton OF the German Government to the
fact that those communications should
be presented through established dip
lomatic channels rather than IS direct
radio communication.
This Governments object in suggest
ing that Germany deal with all Govern
ments associated with the United states
in the war is primarily to snuh ou'
any unfavorable impression the frequent
German appe ais might make on the pso-
DIE o. Great Britain and France. II has
been evident for days tina; the new Ger
man Government has BEEN seeking 70
place President Wilson sor'ewhnt in the
position OF defender OF thu German peo-
pies rights.
The President has made Il very clear
that he would do what was poN'bie u
assist the people OF the Central Powers
IN getting food. provided stability OF
government IL established and an eaul-
table distribution Of the food guaranteed
The German Goyernments desire 10
send n commission to the United states
to arrange for procuring foodstuffs does
not md favor. This Government feels
that Il can easily procure all the needed
Information regarding food conditions
In Germany and that the plan for feed
ing the civilian populations in Europe
will be worked out by Mr.. Hoover and
ether ofiicials along lines already
mapped out
The German appeal TO hurry the
peace conference Is not likely to affect
the situation. although the Government
OF the United States and the Entente
Governments are DESTROYS OF getting
negotiations started with the least pos
sible delay.
