Ten Miles

French troops yesterday crossed the
Meuse River between Mezieres

Petain's cavalry swept over the Bel

Guise road taken by tie German
peace plenipotentiaries.
The advance on some sectors was
ten miles, the greatest ever made
by the Allies yin France since
1914. Last night the German grip
on France measured less than
eighteen miles at the deepest

In the centre Of their line the
French captured the railroad CEN

frontier beyond.
The British in Flanders stormed
forward ON their whole line from
Ghent to the Belgian frontier,
taking the fortress Of Maubeuge,
apparently with little trouble. The
Germans fell back rapidly from

task of preventing starvation in Aus

will be devoted almost entirely to
working out the food problems of Eu-
rope along lines followed by the Bel
gian Relief Commission, Of which he
is still chairman.
The plan contemplates relief also
for Southern Europe, including Serbia,
Rumania and Montenegro.
The State Departments announce
nent follows:
president Wilson has requested
Mr. Hoover to take charge for this
government of the organization of
measures for the food relief of the
liberated people of Europe, and to pro-
ceed at once to Europe as the govern
ment's special representative for the
determination Of measures of relief in
cooperation with the various govern
ments concerned.

large the arrangements for foodstuffs
to the populations in Belgium and
France now Icing released. These
populations have been supported for
the last four years by the commission
for relief in Belgium, under Mr.. Hoo
ver's craftsmanship. but owing to the
difficulties Of transportation and dis
tribution. of finance and fear of Ger
man seizure, the amount of foodstuffs
furnished has been the very minimum

over 3000,000,o0O pounds Of other
foodstuffs, besides 100000 garments,
the whole representing an expenditure
Of nearly $600,00.000.
The support Of the commission has
come from the Belgian. British. French
and American governments. together
with public charity. In addition to
this some s3b0,000,O00 worth of native
produce has been financed internally
in Belgium, by the relief organization.
