Washington, Nov 5.-America and
the allies are planning to co-operate'
in making available as far as possible
food and other supplies necessary for
the lives of the demoralized civilian
populations in once enemy countries.
This became known tonight through
the publication of message from
Col f. M. HouTe at Paris to President
Wilson. saying the supreme war coun
Gil at Versailles had adopted a reso
luton announcing its desire to coop
crate with Auotria, Bulgaria and Tur-
key in furnishing the necessities OF
life for the suffering peoples of thos !.
nations.
This announcement is expected to
have far-reaching effect in Germany,
where from all accounts, the food ST.
uation is only little less serious than
it was in the countries until recent y
allied with Germany.
Austrians Hungry.
Conditions are represented as par
ticularly serious in Austria Hungal Y,
where food riots have been freque Mt
and where there had been intense srf-
fering not alone from the want of
food, but clothing and other neces IL
ties
Food Administrator Hoover, 1t v as
said tonight is working out new food
conservation plans to assure supplies
not only to the peoples of the nations
that have been eliminated from The
war, but also the liberated populations
of Belgium and northern France and
even Germany, when that co lntry has
accepted the armistice terms now In
the hands of Marshal F'och.
It is understood that the olan con-
templated by Mr.. Hoover hut which
the president is now known to have
approved, provides for q rationing
system similar to that EN- ployed in
Belgium by the commission for relief,
which was worked out on the basis Of
the required number of calories neces-
sary for each individual.
Supervision of this ration'ng, it was
said. would be in charge of representa-
tives of the allied and Anne cican gov
ernments. All available food supplies
in the central powers would first be
aprortioned including the leserves il
any, held for armies, it was said.
Survey Being Made.
A survey is now being made by the
food administration to determine the
worlds food supply. Pending its COM
n1otico the new food conservation
plan for the American public is held
Ntfic'a's of the food administra-
ton are said to believe that investlga-
ton will disclose food supplies which
have heretofore not been available ow-
Ing to dissension between the TeutoniC
allies.
With Austria definitely out of the
war the opening Of the Mediterranean
and the India route as well as the So
called short Australian route will re-
lease vast grain supplies and Other
foodstuffs in that part of the world
Austrian merchant ships, it was said
may be used to transport these sup
plies.
The program worked out by the in
ter-allied food council, of which Food
Administrator Hoover is member,
calls upon America to ship to the
allies / I 100000 tons of foodstuffs the
,oming year With the. necessity OF
assisting in feeding civilians CT mid
ole Europe, it is roughly estimated
tpat a minimum of 100000 tons Will
have to be added to that figure
though the ending of the war neces.
81 rily will make possible incr 3ased
production throughout Europe mex
