HOOVER GOING TO TEUTS
Food Controller to Size Up Sup
ply Situation Among
Germans
JOHN DE GRANT

Paris, November 19-That Herbert
Hoover, American food administrator
will go to Berlin within the next two
weeks to study the German food
conditions and relieve the situation
if necessary, was the generally &C
copied opinion here today. The plea
of Germany for mere food and the
claims that the people of that nation
were starving will be carefully inves-
tigated by American officials under
the direction Of Hoover.
Germany is demanding that the
food blockade, enforced by England
and America be raised. Hoover and
other food experts claim that to do
this would disrupt the whole world
supply. Germany would then be able
to buy on the open market with 9TH
er countries ard The stricken allied
nations would be unable to compete
with the Teutons, who are financial
ly far stronger than they.

PROSPERITY IS AT HAND
Fred w. Kruse Talked 0ptimis-
ticeIIy to Newspaper at
Fargo, N. D.

Fargo Forum: Give years of un-
precedented prosperity is in store fo1
the United States" according to FRED
w. Kruse, president of the Fred w,
Kruse company, operating Womens
apparel stores at Fargo, Mankato, La
Crosse and Superior, who is spending
few days in Fargo.
"The United States will have to
supply the world with nearly every
thing for a long time, in view OF
which prices and wages will not de-
cline for long time, said Mr.. Kruse
this morning.
Leading Minneapolis builders and
financers in the east see by the dawn
of peace a new era rejecting the
highest degree of optimism, and the
business now and in the future will
be good. Lifting the ban on building
and construction, means prosperity in
the northwest Peace also lifts the
ban on gay dress and festivities, sc
everyone wants something new tc
wear to celebrate victory and new
born JOY to the world The slight
decline in prices of wooden, cotton,
linens, and dress accessories will
only be temporary, and prices will
ascend again to top level, and then
gradually seek a leve of normal fig
ures, which will take at least two OF
three years. The great task of recon
struction here and abroad will bring
a great demand for labor and many
years of healthy prosperity.
However, the big roblems we will
have to leave to the big men at Wash
ingtOn to SETTLE" concluded MI

Instruction Resumed This Week;
What Is Most NeedfuI

Glasses in Red Cross instruction

these courses were originally planned
as a war measure, the fact that the
war is ended does not diminish the
value of the knowledge gained from
the study of them. First aid is not
only most valuable when sudden
accidents or illnesses occur in the
home or elsewhere, but has produced
far reaching and beneficial influence
in the prevention of accidents The
Thursday evening class will be held

the opportunity to take the course in
Home Nursing. A Friday afternoon
class will begin as soon as twenty are

Village of Potter Erd. Hartford
shire, Eng, November 4.-iBy NALL
The English countryside is today
just as quaint and peaceful and beau
tiful as ever. But it has lost it's
young men.
On the village green last night the
countryfolk gothered at shutdown as
they have done for several centuries.
The duckpond in the middle of the
gren; the Red Lion Inn, GOO years
old) tight in hedgewall on the south
the squat little church steeple just
over the edge on the north; and the
heathery moor to the west-all were
just as they were before the war, ex-
cept. There are no young men.
Old Men And Girls.
They who came together on the
green were women, girls, children,
old men and occasionally man of
fifty. Two sober faced young women
were pushing baby carriages.
A motherly woman of sixty presid :
ed at the bar in the Red Lion (the bar
was perhaps four feet long in room
about six feet square.) On the
right was another brown walled
room with a bare table in the center
A dozen old men were smoking and
slipping their ale. At the head of the
table sat a soldier, home on leave.
The innkeeper's daughter was gang
ing tinpanny piano in the tiny par
lor. She played to an empty room
and to soldiers picture above the
instrument.
Inn Is Squat Little Place.
The inn is squat little place,
mostly grown to roof and many bar :
relied chimneys (the kind you used to
see in your Mother Goose book, with
storks standing on them). The
cracks between the brick shingles
are stuffed with moss.
A wooden tablet nailed to the wall
of the village church-by the door
displays the "Roll of Honor" I'm
derneath on little wooden shelf a
few sprays of flowers tell their story
1t was a Hertsfordshire regiment
with it's quota from Potten End, that
was practically wiped out at CALI
poll.
Women in Khaki.
From the common this morning one
could see squads of women's land army
girls, in khaki, shocking wheat in the
hedgeframed fields.
Behind, the roofs and chimneys OF
the village were just visible over the
masses of trees, shrubs, and hedges
which form the basis of every Eng
lish landscape. In every one of those
homes was one, perhaps two, three
or four empty chairs, many of which
would never be filled.
A crowd of girls were blackberrying
among the brambles and bracken on
the moor.
Lovers Lane, smooth and grassy
between high hedge walls, was emp
ty. A tiny girl in bingham and bit
of boy with yellow curls were
marching, hand in hand, into it's far
end.
