america and Her Allies
Preparing To Feed Europe

Washington Now 6.-America
and the allies are planning to CO.
operate in making available, as far
as possible, food and other sup
plies netessry for the lives OF the
demoralized civilian populations in
former enemy countries.
This became known last night
through the publication OF a mes
sage from Col. +, NJ. House at Paris
to President Wilson saing the SUI
preme war council at Versailles had
adopted a resolution announcing its
desire to cooperate with Austria,
Bulgaria and Turkey in furnishing
the necessities OF life for the suffer
ing peoples of these nations.
This announcement is expected
to have far-reaching effect in Ger
many. where, from all accounts, the
food situation is only little less
serious than it is in the countries
until recently allied with Germany
i'm the war Conditions are reported
as particularly serious in Austria
Hungary, where food riots have
been frequent and where there had
been intense suffering, not alone III
the want of food, but clothing and
other necessities.
Food Administration Hoover, it
was said. is working out new food
conservation plants to assure sup
plies not only to peoples of the ma
ton, that have been eliminated from
the war. but also the liberated pop
ulatious OF Belgium and Northern
France. and even Germany, when
that country had accepted armis-
ticc terms now in the hands OF Mar
Shal Foch.
1t is understood that the plan
contemplated b Mr.. Hoover bur
which the president is not known
to have approved, provides for a
rationing system similar to that en-
ploycd in Belgium by the CommiS-
sion for Relief in Belgium, which
was worked out by Mr.. Hoover,
chairman OF the commission, and his
assistants on the basis of the re-
quired number OF calorieS necessary
for each individual.
Supervision OF this rationing, i'll
was said, would be in charge of rep
rcScntativeS OF the allied and Amer
lean governments. All available food |
supplies in the central powers would |
first be apportioned, including the
reserves if any, held for armies.
1t was said a survey is now being |
made by the food administration 20

Pending its completion, the new
food conservation plan for the
American public is held up. The sur
yey will include investigation of the
interior food supply available in
Austria-IIungary and the Balkans .

tion are said to believe that inyes-

which have heretofore not been
available owing to diS,en>ion be-
